Yesterday I celebrated my 60th birthday in Udaipur, India, in a most memorable and incredible way: We’re staying at Udaivilas, my favorite resort hotel in the world (not planned by us—this trip is an award trip for our productivity and we had no input on the itinerary!).  we were treated to cocktail with the Prince and Princess of Mewar at their “city palace.” The city palace is about 1 kilometer square and today houses two hotels, a museum as well as the private residence of the former rulers of this area (pre democracy days). Following that, we were led by local Indian trumpeters and drummers up a winding road  strewn with rose petals to the Queen’s courtyard where we dined, watched beautiful Indian dancers accompanied by musicians, and they gave me a big cake! The evening ended with fireworks. Now that was one hell of a 60th! Some people might call this an amazing coincidence; you know what a coincidence is, dont’ you? It’s God performing a miracle wishing to remain anonymous!
