Been a while...once again!

Its not that I don't have stuff to write, its just about getting to it I guess! A lot has happened in the past few months and I don't even know where to start. My parents were visiting me (Mom's still here) and the whole trip was bittersweet for a lot of reasons. Lot's has changed too....I got a new TV, bought a lot of stuff for my apartment, sometimes I look around and I can't believe all this stuff is mine! I used to get that feeling when I was kid....I used to look around my house and say to myself, "Everything in here belongs to dad, every little thing; will I ever get there some day?", its kind of surreal to be in this place in life, of course there's always something missing :)

I'm gonna try and write about some recent thoughts in the next few days, so if anyone's reading....STAY TUNED!

Good deed for the month!

A very dear friend of mine (Shweta Mudgal) is running the Marine Corps marathon in Washington DC on October 29th. She has been training now for almost 30 weeks and even took part in the NYC half marathon. Of course the main reason for part-taking in these events is her social cause of raising money for educating under-privileged children in India on behalf of an institution called ASHA (http://www.ashanet.org/nycnj/); a Non-Profit organization that works towards this cause.

She has pledged to raise $100 for every mile she runs ($2600 in all for the marathon) and I would really appreciate any donations towards this noble and worthy cause. Please donate via the link below. Remember, even $10 is enough (but $50 would be really nice!) to educate a child for one whole month, so please be generous and of course all donations are completely tax-deductible.

Here's the link where you can make your credit card donations:
