Forgot about the blog...

Wow....so I admit, I completely lost forgot I ever had a blog until I was just looking at some pictures and then stumbled on some pics which I thought I had it up somewhere....and then click! My random days & thoughts blog....wonder what’s going on there?

So since my last post, there been a lot of things happening in my life. Well let me try to highlight some key points
  1. I switched my job...yup....left Motorola to join Microsoft. And yes, left Chicago to be in Seattle, WA. My initial impression of this gloomy city wasn't too fruitful. But it's grown on me. The weather is debatable but otherwise the mountains, greenery, lakes, the whole out-door scenario is great!! I would rate it just after Denver, CO. As per the job, well it keeps me busy throughout the day, and boy what a complex product to work on - Active Directory (Windows Server). It’s a fairly young team in terms of age but some of the smartest people I have come across. It’s scary to see them all in one place....
    Had a big family re-union (at least from my mom's side) at Chicago for my cousins wedding. Great 4-day event included mehendi, sangeet, wedding ceremony and reception. Probably the biggest wedding I have attended. It was a full house at my aunt’s where I could find myself a lonely couch to call it my bed for a few days :)
  2. My cousin's Bachelor party at Vegas was very exotic. Suite at the palms, Party at Moonlight club, A round of golf at Riveria and TPC Canyon (this one had a caddy)....
  3. A quick trip to Atlanta and NYC to hang out with friends for the weekend
  4. New yrs at Vegas (again) isn’t a disappointment ever.
  5. My parents visited me here at Seattle and stayed with me for over a month. My cousin from Virgina was over for a weekend as well. We all went to Mt. Rainer which was fun.
  6. Did the Art of Living course for the second time and actually learnt a lot! I highly recommend it to everyone who hasn't done it yet

If i had to pick the highlight of my highlights, I’d have to say career change! They say on an average a man changes his job/career several times. On that note, I have begun my quest to achieve my ideal job....we'll just have to wait and see if this is it....
