Turning Forty

So, this is it. This is how it feels like - entering the forties.

Looking back, there are no regrets. I would like to thank God for a beautiful life and the countless blessings - the greatest of those blessings - Uma - my wife, a wonderful companion. Uma has shown me the true meaning of 'living life'. She's built a world for me filled with love and respect. I would also like to thank my parents, for the values they inculcated in me - the part of 'living right'; my brother and sister who support me through thick and thin; my teachers and gurus who had the patience to answer all my questions and yet fuel my curiosity further; and to all my friends. who have always been around. I would also like to thank Amma [ Wikipedia ] for her teachings.

I know six of my friends have birthday's today. Wishing Aditya, Archana, Madhusudan, Nagen, Ram Narayan, and Shahana, a very happy birthday.

As I wander through the journey of life, I look at it in (child-like) amazement and curiosity. I am reminded of the opening lines of the song - 'Higher Ground' [ Wikipedia ] -

Every hour of every day I'm learning more

The more I learn, the less I know about before

The less I know, the more I want to look around

Digging deep for clues on higher ground

Feeling younger! Cheers!

Monday Getaway

We had a long-weekend vacation from 23rd to the 26th. This vacation coincided with Uma's birthday on the 26th. Wishing Uma a Happy Birthday.

On Monday, 25th, we made a day trip to Innovative Film City, Janapada Loka, and Brindavan Gardens. Here are pictures from the trip.

Dec 2009: Looking back, looking forward

The last month of the year is usually slower than the rest of the year - unless you have quite a way to go in meeting year-end targets :-) . We think it is the winter or the holidays, which slow things down. This gives time to reflect on the near past - usually the year; and an opportunity to plan for the future.

Looking back at the year 2009 - we had unexpected changes and losses mid-year. We had to cancel on our vacation plan. Now, after 6 months, we think that we took this very well, and are again back to business. We did feel like we were in the middle of a twister when adapting to the new environment. Now things seem to be falling in place - bit by bit.

For the year ahead, we hope to see greater things and maybe, a vacation.

Continuing to share pictures, here is one of ours at Chilli's in Bangalore on Christmas Day.



Wish you all a very Happy New Year!
- Uma and Saurav.

November: Season for thanksgiving

There are quite a bunch of updates to share with you. First, Uma now has a job at IBM. She started on the 9th. This has also meant a slight adjustment of our daily schedules. 11th was our anniversary. We spent an evening out on the 12th celebrating our anniversary. Here is a picture from the dinner that evening.

On the 21st, we partied at Abeer's (our friend Saleem and Nazneen's daughter) birthday party. A few pictures from that day and a video.

26th is Thanksgiving in the USA. With all the good things this time, we thank God and everybody for this.

My Birthday

This time my birthday on the 18th and the days following were extremely busy at work. A quick short personal celebration at home caught on picture by our friend.
