And time flies… The little mutt who would chase & hug little dogs outside my home has grown into a smart, beautiful, wonderfully poised woman.

Raj … lost in thought

The better half …

Dear Lord, Thank you for making this bundle of mischief my better half And help me always keep her this happy. Even if it means, I have to wear funny clothes to do that! And Abby – I love you!

This year, I realized… Memento Mori! I’m not superhuman. I’m lucky, nay blessed to be alive. Some people change… some don’t. I have to learn to live with that. Being debt free is an awesomely freeing feeling. Meditation and prayer help. I was a fool to have given up on reading and music. “Bird on a Wire” is the soundtrack to my life. That whenever I’m down, all I need to get rid of sad, depressive thoughts is to look up. That’s it. It always works. Crane your neck and look up. Try it :) I have very few friends. But they’re awesome. I am luckier than most when it comes to my work & career. Vivek & Vinay, I cannot thank you guys enough. You guys both have been so influential and so supportive in my life, I cannot express my gratitude enough. You guys are my other family. I love you for all you do. I spent my childhood being scared of my parents; my teens, resenting them; and my twenties in rebellion and thinking that they were not so smart. Turns out, they were the best thing to have happened to me. I know that now. And I will spend the rest of my life in gratitude and love as far as they go. And finally… I should have married Abbygail, twelve years ago.Yes, I was wrong Abby, and I hope this public admission lays our one long standing argument to rest :) The past three years with you, have been bliss and to quote The Platters… “Only you, can make this world seem right!” Thank you, Lord! I could not ask for more.
