Will an Indian compete in Snowboarding in Olympics?

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

I am not surprised about lack of attention to India’s representation in the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Most Indians aren’t interested in winter games and even amongst those who follow it, there is lesser people who actually play winter sports themselves.
Personally, I actually snowboard. Yep. Many of my Indian friends and family think, it isn’t much [...]

In India

Friday, October 17th, 2008

We landed in Chennai earlier today. Its humid but not too hot and apparently been raining heavily but not today! The Jet Airways experience was more than what we had expected and their entertainment and service were well worth the price. Even better was the off-season timing so the flights were not as packed as [...]

A new beginning

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

On June 2nd, we had a new beginning in our life. Rishi was born. To me, it was a unique emotional and defining moment when he came to this world. I was in tears. I felt the love for the new life and at the exact same time appreciate the pain of mom delivering him. [...]

Puerto Rico - part 2

Saturday, November 13th, 2004

Part 1 is below here:
Continuing from where I left: On Saturday afternoon, the wave runner session ended five minutes ahead of the 1/2 hour schedule as I finally realized that Harini was really pleading to get off the water. Tanning was the last of the things we went to a sunny state like Puerto [...]

Our experience in Puerto Rico - Part 1

Friday, November 12th, 2004

Its our first anniversary and aren’t first anniversaries supposed to be special and taken seriously? (its got to be if one considers the marriage as successful ). As I always do, we were planning for it for almost two months, but it remained ‘planning’ and was never executed! [my greatest virtue (call it [...]

Anniversary Day

Thursday, November 4th, 2004

Bush victory yesterday has only made the mood sober and thankfully we will be away not having to repent too much for it. You never know, four years from now we may as well witness an Arabian Union (UDAS - united democratic arabian states!!!) and a unified korea with their own liras and dollars! [...]

Marriage - Nov 06, 2003
I got married to Harini on this very special day, carefully chosen after a lot of hot discussions and phone calls between the family astrologer and harini’s thatha. I think their efforts were worth it. It was indeed a special day with Rain God honouring us right thru the three days [...]
