Hello friends, I am back after a long silence!

A lot has happened since I last blogged. Ironically, one of the most importants things of my life stopped me from blogging. We kept it a secret from all but a very select few, so I could not blog about it. Nothing else seemed important enough to blog about!

For those who did not guess! – We are having a baby! And we now know it to be a girl.

 There! I said it.

Hopefully, now I should be out here more often!

A full mid-summer day, full of floral aromas, woody surroundings, green lawns, a shed for shelter, and a promise of fun and entertainment – with cornucopious food!! That was our Saturday 17th June Mathur picnic! Read the rest of this entry »

Hello friends,

I am back!

Blogging, as addictive as it is, is also reverse-addictive. Its difficult to give it up for a day or two, but when you take a gap of over a week, its difficult to get back to it!

 But, I am back!

Lots of news to share. I will dedicate a post each, but here is a list -

1. nyphpcon 2006 was great! Learnt a lot, met some great ppl, got some great leads!

2. The Mathur Holi picnic was fun! I was the official photographer, so keep tuned in for some great photographs

3. A freind of my wife came in from Goa, India. Took her around the City. Keep tuned in for some photographs

And a few other tidbits which I will cover in the next few posts!

I will be extremely busy for the next few days. I will have a lot to blog about, but may have no time to do so. 

This is what I have on my plate

14th/15th/16th June     New York PHP Conference 2006. I will be blogging about it here and on blackbusinessradio.com
15th June                     Some thing personal, which I will eventually blog about, but for now…

17th June                     Mathur Community Picnic.  Again I will be blogging about it on The Mathur Association Blog

So, if you do not see me.. I have not forsaken you! I will be back, and stronger!

First off, let me apologize for not blogging for so long. I hope there were many of you that actually missed me!

So what have I been up to ?

Well not a lot! I was busy doing 'nothing'!

Well ok,

I went to the beach with the wife and a few other friends. And I have a sun-burnt back to prove that!

Then, I made a decision on my next project! I hope to launch it on July 13th (to coincide with my Birthday!) Unfortunately, I can not divulge any more details yet

Then, just today, I registered for the nyphpcon. The best part is I am going there as a field reporter for Black Business Radio

 So stay tuned for my views on the event!

 Thats it for now. I promise to be more regular from now on!

This picture was taken during the light and sound show as viewed from the American side of the falls. This one does seem to do full justice to the falls.

Monday again!

I love 'm mondays! I guess its mainly cause I do not follow the normal man's time table of Monday to friday 9 AM to 5 PM! I follow the hours of the nocturnal night shift man! For me its 6 PM to 4 AM! So mondays, while the rest of the world is 'wishing they had their beds made' I laze around on my bed! U guessed it, I hate fridays for the same reason!

But that is only for the past 4 years or so. I have always loved mondays. Mondays signal the start of a new chapter in my life. It gives me the opportunity to basically wipe the slate clean and start off afresh! 

Monday has an entirely different meaning for the wife though! For her its a day of prayer and staying away from meats.. sticking to the basics – the vegetarian stuff. I say sticking to the basics cause they say the human system was built to be a vegetarian! Meat eating is something we picked up along the way somewhere during our evolution. The natural selection process as Darwin would have theorized. But hey Darwin's theory is lacking is it not? But hey thats an entire new topic. I promise to dedicate an entire blog on this one!

But, this Monday, I am up and about, as you may see from the time stamp on this post (if I get it out the first time that is.) Cause today I have a doctor's appointment. Let us see if this doc makes ' a little miracle' for us!
