Ahm. . . At the moment, our interactions with the neighborhood is
minimal, because we seem to have so little time—ahm. . .. And maybe,
very little inclination also
[Laughter] .
As a result, there have always been a couple of neighbors who went out
of their way to make friends with us, and those we have really welcomed
and, ahm. . . all of those things—. But we have not, for example,
engaged in backyard barbecues, and that sort of thing—. We have very
cordial relationships with all of them, but are not really close to it,
them, except for one or two families.
[interruption] and while, we're not socialites as such,
again for the same reason not having time and so on, we are not the
party type, so,
[Laughter] so, so we have
not gone out much with them, but we've always had a very good circle of
American friends. The South-Asian community, ahm. . . that we move with,
are mostly friends from our very early days in the country when we did
give and go to a lot of parties. The only difference is, many of them
continue the same practice, to this day, whereas we have quit and
have
Page 7, ahm. . . just given up that kind of social
life. So, we are close to them, but we hardly know what's happening in
their lives—.
