On a personal note..

All signs point to a spectacular fall in the global stock market. FED just cut interest rate to 3.5%, that’s huge. Sincerely, I do not think that’s going to boost anything this time around. Buckle up boys’ crunch time is around the corner!!! I would say by June, we would be in a clear state to judge whether US economy is in a recession or not. One good thing might be, India along with China and Brazil might be sought as an alternative to invest money. This could be a big test for Indian Congress government. Lot depends on how they work to gain consumer confidence. On paper at least, both Chidambaram and Dr. Singh have great economic background, we have to wait and see how they work this out.

For those who feel that Modi is a bad news for India, where you have been for the past 50 years? Have you seen the world around you? Do you even understand that political playground both in India and abroad? Even after 50 years of failure, if you want to live with the false promises of Congress and Left, what can I say? Religious fundamentalism, it is used by everyone isn’t it? Let’s define this term “religious fundamentalism”. It is a narrow set of belief which glorifies one’s religion at the expense of the others. Given that, if we dig deep, in our current world there are only 2 sources for all our religions right? One originates from the west, the so called Abrahamic religions. The other is the so called eastern religions which include Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Confucianism etc. By now, we can take it for granted that religion whether it’s from east or west work towards attaining heaven or Mukti as it’s called in Hinduism. Buddhism and Jainism don’t have an ab...

I got to completely restore my Laptop. The worst part was I lost lots of pictures which I stored in there :( Well anyhow, I was talking to the Dell Support group in Chennai, and the most weird thing happened. Until now I thought my name was unique, I was talking to a guy, and he informed me that my name is exactly the same as his friend working next to him. I have to say, it was little bit sad, you don't want to lose your individuality right?

Back from my vacation to DC. What did I do? Same old schedule of course; sit at my brother’s house & do nothing. One change though, went to Raleigh, NC and I did see couple of movies, I am Legend was good. I always get stressed out meeting my parents, specifically my father. My father and I are totally apart, that’s a good thing though, if not we would be fighting every day. The main difference between us is, I like a good argument but not a fight but he likes a fight without any argument. Anyhow, 2007 is done. For me 2007, was a confidence builder. Other than that, I don’t want to rate a year good or bad, because honestly, a year is just a passage of time isn’t it. Event List for 2007 1.Got my EAD 2.Wife got a job 3.Younger one started his pre-school 4.Elder one started his regular School 5.Read some good books. The 2 best are a. The universe in single atom by Dalai Lama b. Life Ahead by...

Twenty20 will be the official death bell for cricket as we know. It’s just a matter of time that One day and Test Matches are brought to their knees. I can see something like MLB taking place in India within the next few years. There are many factors which kicks in to support this case, some which I might add could be for the better 1. People might retire early, because they get the same kind of money with fewer cricket matches. 2. Twenty20 is easier to sell than others. 3. There are only 2 countries where cricket is both fun and makes money. Australia and India (Make be the other Asian countries, but countries by themselves are so volatile). If India starts Twenty20 where else the players are going to play? 4. In India, it will bring in discipline, and no state politics and north-south divide. 5. BCCI monopoly will be subdued. Being a guy who loves cricket, I am little bit sad to see the demise of One day and Test matches, but I guess these changes are good for the future of cricket.

I would much rather be doing Diwali Shopping!!! Will be travelling to DC this week. Planning on a trip to North Carolina, heard lots of good things about that state. Have a plan to move to NC, lets see.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7132697.stm Here we go again, people trying to live the other's life. I think Gandhi once said, "I am a Hindu but that's who I am. The State has nothing to do with it". You are not God, You are not even a perfect human being, then where on earth did you get the right to impose these laws? Don't they know that Love cannot be forced by laws. Bunch of morons. For people who disagree, I do not see laws such as, 1. Compulsory education for all kids. It doesn't matter whether you are crorepathi or street vendor. 2. If you abusive to your kids, you go to jail 3. Its illegal to divorce your spouse if you have a kid 4. If your kid become disabled due to your neglect, you go to jail 5. You cannot have multiple brides. Do you want me to go on.....
