In memory of my mother (1953 - 2011)

2011-06-21T22:43:00.003-04:00

To those who knew my mother, knew her as a woman of immense courage and beauty. She knit many relationships, faced challenges undaunted and always spoke the truth. Her strength of character inspired me and many others. I have learnt courage and straightforwardness from her. I have lived with her guiding voice in my heart and continue do so. It is the only way of paying my respect to her and to say - 'Mom! I love you'

Turning Forty

2010-08-23T07:44:00.016-04:00

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

2010-01-26T21:50:00.005-05:00

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

2009-12-31T05:21:00.009-05:00

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

2009-11-26T00:14:00.003-05:00

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.
