Where's Satya??

Its been a year and half since i last wrote.. so many things have changed...

-- I am a dad now, its the coolest, awesomest feeling in the world. Little S is my reason to wake up every morning.. he is now running around, mumbling a few words and throws a tantrum like its nobodys business!!

-- My adoptive country has a new prez and altough i want him to show some "hope" and "change" before i can be excited as much as some of the others, i am praying that he succeds because of my next point.

-- The US economy and consequently the world's has gone to hell in a handbasket. As ignorant as I am about financial matters, even i saw this comming a year ago. D and I were preparing for the arrival of lil S and were out looking to buy a house. I went to the banker to get loan information for aroun $350K, which itself was a HUGE amount that i did not have the stomach to spend. The banker offered to loan me $550K and told me to go look for a bigger house!! at this time i barely had money to put 5% down, was not a green card holder yet and D had a temp job!! when i heard this, i started beliving all the "Bubble" rumors in the market then and signed a lease for a bigger apartment. Lo and behold, we are now at a place where Citibank is priced at $1.95 and BAC at $3.50. almost 10 million jobs have been lost in the US and there does not seem to be an end to that yet..

-- I don't think Obama's plan will work, atleast 1 big bank needs to go under, as much problems that will cause the markets, they need to know the worst that could happen.

-- I am getting tired of spending everyday with a sword over my job. Right now, im putting an over/under at 6 months to when my work will come to an end. Its gonna be time to start thinking if i should go back home and move on to the next part of my life or look for something else here and strech it out.

-- I hope i wont be too pessimistic all the time and will write more regularly going forward, I think i want lil S to have an idea of what his dad thought and when..
