I sometimes travel for business. This time, it was Phoenix, AZ. I did not expect Phoenix to be vibrant! I got to spend some time with my former manager, Ramesh K, and recruiter Thao Diep.
Phoenix Ramesh, Thao and I got to go out for dinner; and a First Friday which was festive with various artists performing live, showcasing their talents. Hiking the pinnacle peak with Ramesh was exciting, with the peak bring adrenaline rush and 360° views.
University of Washington during peak bloom of cherry blossoms is breath taking. People singing, dancing, students testing out drones, people posing (for Tinder?) and families having picnics at the quad was refreshing to see.
Lorde performed in an Amazon post-holiday party and it was lit. She performed a lot of songs from her album, “Melodrama”.
Here are some of my favorite bits -
