Off to Moscow



My son left for Moscow via Bangkok by Thai Airways on 08.09.08 to do his medical studies at Moscow Medical University. We would only be able to see him in the first week of July 2009.

I guess we as parents have to accept the fact that our little boy is not little anymore.

My best wishes to you son. (We went through the same thing about 3 years ago, when our son went for his doctorate, and we saw him again only after 3 years.... )

It was kinda a hard for me as I was away most of the time and now when I am back home, my son has left for his studies and my second boy would join him soon in 2010. Well have to get used to the fact that they would be going away eventually.

Its always hard to live away from home, but after he becomes a doctor, what amount of pride and joy he would bring to the family!

Best wishes to him!

Happy Birthday Post

Guess by now I would have collected one of those and it's like getting closer to "home" that is if you get my drift. Woke up pretty early in the morning and my son from Moscow wished me "Happy Birthday" on MSN chat and it was about 1.30 a.m. there (God knows what he is doing up so late). My wife just wished me ...... It's a sad day for me as I know I am getting older and nearer too....(should I say grave....) Here are some quotes that I spotted on the net and would like to share them with you, to at least cheer me up..... Emily Dickinson We turn not older with years but newer every day. Bill Clinton When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old. Cherokee Expression When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Paul H. Duhn You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your des...

Writer's block

Seems like I am stuck on what to write and where is my tea to perk me up? I am sitting in my cabin at my office and wondering what I should write. So far nothing interesting happened to me as it has been work, work and work. I was appointed as a Director for one of our subsidiary as a corporate nominee from my company. But the catch is, I am appointed as a Director with all the liabilities minus the extra cash. Am I being foolish? I leave that as it is and now I have to unblock my writer's block. Come on ideas, flow. Looks like it is dried up and maybe I should meditate and something might creep in while I am in bliss meditating. But then again, meditating in my cabin is not a good idea as it would construe that I am sleeping on my job or they might think that I have turned into a zombie. Yeah, I got my trip to Hyderabad on 09.11.2008 approved by the Directors and I am going to be there to wind up my residence and office, I would be there for a week (aha...paid vacation). Well that...

LIQUID LIFE

H 2 O In an irony worthy a Greek tragedian, the first act in the drama of water crisis is going to be a global flooding. Global warming will result in a rise in sea levels as the glaciers and ice caps melt, thereby depleting the earth's crucial reservoir of clean, non-saline water Nilakshi Sharma Frogs are being wedded to frogs in elaborate; ritually correct weddings in Assam in an effort to appease Varun, the rain god, because there has been no rain in Assam in the past few months and the ground water is drying up. Quillagua, a Chilean city that holds the distinction of being the driest place on this earth, is dying a parched death. Their lifeline, the river is dying. What the water companies have not taken away, far in excess of what they were supposed to take, the mining companies have polluted to unsustainable levels. In Chamoli, Uttarakhand, the smaller glaciers have disappeared and the largest one has retreated by many miles. United Nations Development reports are warning...
