Back Home

Finally after 2 weeks, when my plane landed at Sacramento Airport last evening, I felt at home.

Here I am, with my wife and kids ( hugged me last night and went to sleep), not knowing where the future is going to take us.

I didn't imagine that I'd have to make this trip to Atlanta ( to our Headquarters). Things happened all of a sudden. While I was there, my boss and her boss were laid off on Friday. I was shocked.

Atlanta is a nice city but quite a few people who I spoke with feel that California is a better place. They wonder why one should move from California.

I met with a lot of my old friends. Met with my roommate of 1990 ( I was single and living in Washington DC, Silver Springs ). Had a lot of Nostalgic moments. Drove to Winston-Salem to see my brother and family (after 3 years).


With my brother's family at Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I don't know what will happen at work next week. I am pretty sure that I'll have to move to Atlanta soon.

PVS - Thank you ! I wish.!

Narayanan, that is really the way things work here (I mean the news about your bosses). I didn't know that you used to be at Silver Spring here - just went to a friend's house yesterday and he lives at Northern Silver Spring at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Norbeck. While it may be a loss to the Californians, we'll be happy to have you here at EST and when I call you home after your move here, I will not have to check my time and make some mental calculations (er, how do we subtract 3 from a number :-))

Thennavan,
We'll certainly catch up.

I lived very close to the bus station at Silver springs. No idea.about the streets etc.

Used to work at Bethesda. Used to take the bus every day.

Do you by any chance know a guy called 'Ilam Nyairu' ( Young Sun).
He used to work for World bank.
