Galleria, Memorial mall, lots of temples (Meenakshi, BAPS, Chinmaya Mission), Food options: Hillcroft restaurants, Maharaja Bhog, Ailing’s Hakka Chinese. Take them to Lake Conroe for boating or stroll around the lake. NASA is boring but a must see Houston landmark. Besides all the above, lots of desk events going on depending on your interests e.g dandiya, regional plays and Diwali events. Enjoy !!

Get a city pass - it includes everything; aquarium, zoo, NASA space center (must see) etc as part of the pass.

Plenty of food options - maharaj Bhog is my fav for a nice thali, if you are South Indian - kumar’s mess is a delight

Question. What do we think would happen if men and women all competed together? I know in many sports, the best men are going to be up there. But it’s not like we can’t keep track of overall winners and winners by division. I read up on some history and it seems like women’s sports only appeared after women started beating most of the men.

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?
