Zain, Maheen, and I hiked Mt. Monadnock with some friends in April. Its an easy close-by hike.

Zain, and I hiked Mt. Lafayette with friends in May. I love and hate this hike as its hard on the knees, coming down. However, Zain aced it.

Our next hike this summer will most probably be Mt Washington.
Yoga
Maheen and I started yoga in April. After a month of Yin, Tao, and flow yoga, we have switched entirely to aerial yoga. Most people give up on aerial yoga after their first class. Just like anything else, aerial yoga is tough in the beginning but you get used to it after a few classes. We persisted and now we enjoy it quit a bit.

Aviation
One of my students soloed in early June. Flight instruction has immensely helped me develop myself as a mentor. It has tremendously helped me with flying skills too. I love this new hobby.

So far this summer, I have made two trips of my own. First to Manhattan via Westchester County Airport in April with kids, second to Hampton in May with Maheen. The runway at Hampton Airport is a fun short field practice. However, it is far from the beach (4.5 miles each way). We walked as there are no cabs in that area.

The best FBO I have ever been to is Million Air at Westchester County Airport. If you go there, stop by and feel like a billionaire for a few minutes.
