Atul's hotel directions APS 2012!

This incident happened when Atul and I happened to be in the same conference (APS) in Boston in March 2012. Atul came with his students and other colleagues. We decided to go somewhere in Boston downtown for dinner and Atul wanted to go to his hotel before we hit out to eat out. We all including Atul's students were following Atul's lead to his hotel. After walking 2 blocks Atul realized that he has come into unrecognized area and said his hotel doesn't seem to be in that area. Immediately, he tried to cover the mistake and asked me where was "I" taking them? I had a good laugh. I had the basic idea where the hotel could be and I suggested we make U-turn and that way we finally found the hotel. When Atul went to him room his students joked that they got a absent-minded adviser. I was barely able to stop myself from giving them link to 9006jokes. Long live the King!
