Things you discover when you are clearing up the photos. My family loves photographs. And my family loves family. And family photographs seem to be their favourites.

Radhabai and Tatya Gadgil (my father’s paternal grandparents), the originals, circa the early 1900s.

Probably late 1920s, early 1930s. The man right at the back in the centre standing is my grandfather.

Probably late 1950s, early 1960s. That’s my paternal grandparents, my father and his three sisters.

Probably late 1980s, early 1990s. That’s my cousins, my kid brother, and I with my paternal grandparents.

The entire clan. Son, daughters, sons-in-law, daughter-in-law, grandchildren.

Probably around mid-1990s. Baba was about to leave for a flight, his transport waiting downstairs, and we hurriedly took this with the camera on a tripod and timer. It was around 3 a.m.

August 2008. The entire Gadgil clan (paternal) as it existed then.

Just outside the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, UK, on 28 November 2018, where Baba was to receive the Flight Simulation Medal, 2018.
