Dinesh and Karen Kapoor of Cold Spring, both immigrants from Mumbai, became U.S. citizens on April 12 in Carmel. They are shown at far right with their children, Zohra and Raunaq. “We came to this country 18 and 16 years ago,” Karen Kapoor wrote on Facebook. “Each of us had two bags we brought with us from India. Over the past several years we have lived the American dream with all its ups and downs. Today, we made it official! Thank you America, our home sweet home.”
