Happy Diwali to everyone

Here one person who is enjoying Diwali most is Aasim – well he is supposed to BUT this time he is much more involved. He went out (with his mom) and got lots of electric string lights and has put it all over the windows of his room, His mother is supposed to draw rangoli every morning in the courtyard and gifts are to be sent to his friends…

Speaking of gifts looking at the amount of sweets sent over from US of A to people in Nagpur it looks like the IT industry and Indian IT pro are doing much better this year…

Wishing every one a very happy Diwali!!!

BTW – Aasim has learn’t his first swear word – “Damn” 😉

Absurd dreams of a nut!

Absurd dreams of a nut!

Things have been pretty weird lately, am caught in whirlwind of emotions which are diametrically opposite. A whole lot of good and whole lot of bad. The picture on the left though not initially taken to be symbolic BUT it now is – Dreaming of further regression OR dreaming of something in future… Work has

37 Today

37 Today

37 – As a number it doesn’t inspire much reaction as would 36 or 40, so… I turned 37 today… Last year I had summarised my life with a sense of hope, a hope of settling down. That way for me the past year has been very relevant, I moved away decisively from the duppie

Wisdom impinges upon your consciousness in so many unusual ways… Today I morning I saw a Plaintive Cuckoo Chick being fed by a Tailor Bird – It reminded me about WTO Then this one has had me thinking “God lives in heaven because he lives in fear of his own creations!!” caught it when Aasim

The week and the previous one has been very hectic – the best part is after a long time I am really into programming a non-commercial project, work on business front has been very busy juggling various projects. Had a very pleasant surprise from two of our clients today. In the afternoon we went to
