From Anshul's Desk...

Michigan's extreme weather conditions, Michigan Construction, the downfall of the Auto Industry and the drooping real-estate prices keeps us in the news! Rick Wagoner's claim for taking direct control of struggling North American's division, KMART's decision to move to Chicago, the Superbowl extravaganza in the Mo-town, opening of new restaurant chains like P.F.Chang (Chinese) and Qdoba (Mexican Grill) and the cricket season getting hot on Dish keeps us again in the news.

The first quarter of 2006 - has been a year with plenty of activity with Karan (Lason) and Vinod (Trilogy) relocating back to India, Sourin (Accenture) to Lansing. Nita gaining experience handling the kids (with Vinod away in Bangalore) and bonding with them :) and Seemz clearing her exam with flying colors. I moved to my new home and Pratibha has been busy furnishing it with her full enthusiasm. Shantanu has a hectic year ahead with his SAT's and ACT's in the pipeline, AP exams in April-May, track season in progress and looking forward towards the cross-country tournaments as a captain. Our nephew Kalind is in USA for the last 6 months working his butt-off exploring the medical opportunities over here. Kalind, we are all with you and pray for your success!!!

Blogging - i started last year and a special thanks to Sourin for bringing me into this. Thanks to him for recommending one of my blogs to the 'Blog Contest'. Since then, I have read some extremely brilliant blogs from Sakshi, Curious Gawker, Sujatha, and Vikrum. One of the recent additions to the world of blogging has been Karthik with some excellent jokes. Keep it coming, Karthik!

Looking forward to this summer, especially since my Dad is coming over here for the first time. I definitely want to spend some quality time with him, socialize with him and have a good time with Vaidyas, Gargs and Raos.

Stay Tuned...
