Kite Museum Photos
The beginning of the recent kite obsession started after watching the 'Kite Runner'. Keyur from my office took me to Ahmedabad's Kite Museum which has a collection of kites formed over the last 100 years. I will post some pictures of the kites after Keyur and I pick them up.

Today I was impressed
I just came back from my final fitting for the suit. I was telling people in the office that something miraculous needed to happen. The last time I was there for the trial fitting I was not impressed one bit. The tailor came a great way in one week but more needed to happen. The jacket fit decent that time but the pants were not even close. I'm sure it is a sight to see me with pants that are painted on but it is not my cup of tea. I left him with instructions how they needed to fit. The idea of the final suit was scary thought to me. I thought my money was wasted for sure.
Today I went back and in the fitting room the pants felt great! I brought my dress shoes and belt so I could put it on as an outfit. Everything about the fit for the pants were good and they even survived the extreme squat test. When the jacket went on it looked amazing. It has a nice slim tailored look. I am really happy with how the whole thing turned out. I ordered a backup pair of pants as well as a dress shirt to go with the suit. I have a wedding to attend the week I get back the US. While I was looking at shirting material I saw a light lime green linen material so I ordered one of those as well! It should make a nice light summer shirt.
I feel so much better. I was seriously dreading this experience. But everything worked out in the end. While I was outside waiting for my driver the tailor came out and offered me tea. I accepted and while we were drinking I asked how long he's been making suits and he said he is 50 and has been making suits for 35 years. His dad was a tailor and so is his son. I told him I will convince Randy to get his made because I really like mine.
