Earthquakes, floods, attacks in jaipur everywhere human suffering..mostly man made...environmental pollution, bad weathers, men attacking fellow men like jaipur attacks...what a week..
Interesting week politically too obama gains more superdelegates, john edwards nod..Hillary still fighting hard.. interesting times..
A lot of new interesting books released and waiting to be read..
I got audio cassette of Jhumpa lahiris novel "Unaccostumed earth" and was listening to it tonite, it was read by sarita who did a pretty good job..sentimental stories, unique first and second generation indian/bengali experience but not that great..I felt they are not that unique, same stories in the line of her first book Interpreter of maladies...ok to read but nothing great for me..melancholic over sentimental stories..
Iam reading Obamas "Audacity of hope"..so far an interesting read..not as interesting as his first book "Dreams from my father" but not bad either..It helps me understand american political system better..Obama is still an impressive powerful writer as well as an orator..
Iam reading Alvin Tofflers" Revolutionary wealth" which is another amazing novel in the lines of future shock about tomorrows world..very interesting and reading Toffler is always an education for me..very well researched book.
Iam also reading Hari Kunzru's " My revolutions"..very interesting book to read, unique story, well written..Hari Kunzrus is becoming one of my fav. writers..I enjoyed reading his two earlier novels..his stories are unique...
so many books to read as always..
This week was an interesting week..
I organised a meeting on outsourcing to India inviting a lot of americans interacting with indian companies in India..It was interesting to hear their pov ..and how work cultures are so different between two countries..so many places where I realised we can help being americanised indians..
I also participated in a walk raising money for India and south Africa and walked 2 miles today..it was fun...I was proud of myself , next time hopefully I will do a 5 mile walk to raise money for cancer patients..
I got a nice letter from one of the Indiana senators as a reply to letters I wrote on immigration green card issues..I had no faith on politicians before but after receiving responses from 2 senators and 1 Governor I have to say my faith is restored..God bless those 2 senators who are doing good job and trying to help people..Hopefully I can write more to them on other issues affecting american people and Indians and hope we can bring in change and can help unfortunate people..
so much to do..so many places where we can make a difference..
I didnot watch any movies this week..
songs I heard this week.. my life is so busy and so unromantic...nice shammi kapoor and mahesh babu songs totally make me romantic and happy
