Something that i am proud of:
I pray everyday.
I love spending lots of time with elders.
I mostly eat at home.
I make it a point to learn something new everyday.
Nothing can stop me from getting what i want. If I want anything for myself, all i have to do is want it and nothing will possibly come in my way.
I dream and i achieve.
I have clarity of thought.
I am deeply committed to making a difference in the world.
I respect women.
I actually listen to people when they are communicating opposed to hearing them and have mind conversations about the things they are saying.
Education for everybody in this world is something that i will give my life to transform.
I have been an avid reader of books nowadays.
I love having an intelligent conversation over a cup of coffee.
I am excited about everything in my life.
I don’t think i have the word anger in my dictionary and you will hardly see me upset or off mood.
I am full of life and want to live it to the fullest, who knows what’s there in store tomorrow.
I feel deeply, powerfully for people that matter to me in my life.
I am considered creative and innovative by people around me.
I am full of ideas and am working on a plan to implement those.
I don’t drink neither do i smoke.
Something that is a harsh reality and i am working on it:
I couldn’t live to my parents expectations to be the top student in my Engineering and Masters Studies.
I have also got C+ grade in my courses for Masters at USC.
I am a failure in my own eyes because i haven’t been able to complete the Kutchi Dictionary project that i took on.
I seek a career change from the Software Industry.
I am impulsive at times and react without thinking.
I need to get 8 hours of sleep daily which has become a dream since the time i came to the US.
My health is good but fitness is bad. Low immunity levels.
These are my random weekday musings.
Thank you for your patient listening.

Everyone needs someone, to love them and who cares.
Everyone needs someone, who always will be there.
Everyone needs someone, to give them a loving touch.
Everyone needs someone, who loves them very much.
Everyone needs someone, that’s special just like you.
Everyone needs someone, who to them they are true.
That someone is everything to me, That someone is only you.
That someone loves me, That someone I love too.
Happy Birthday Dhiren!
You are my everything… My love, my hero, my Best Friend!

Heylo Family,
I have got a full time job offer from Sharewell Group in Los Angeles. My job profile is of a Full Time Lead PHP Developer. I have been freelancing for this company for the past two weeks and they decided to give me a formal offer today. It’s a small company and the people are great to work with. The pay is also decent. I have interacted with their staff while i was at their office in San Diego. Am all excited about starting this job. I am also done with my Masters coursework at USC so now i don’t have to take anymore courses and i can work and take the remaining 1 credit that remains and graduate in December.
Life has been busy with all this at hand.
Some other summer plans i have:
1. Taking a course as a Voice Over artist.
2. Learning to play golf.
3. and last but not the least.. plan for our family get together and come down to Pittsburgh during that weekend.
p.s. just forgot to mention but real thanks to ashish and nimit for their support during my interview process
ashish, for your clearing calls – they were really valuable
nimit – for your tips regarding jobs and the study material you provided me.
Hans mama – Thanks for going over my resume and helping with it.
Jyoti Masi/Suresh Masa – Your constant encouragement to do better than what i currently have got me where i am today now. Thanks to one and all again.
Ever since my life began,
I realized that “You da man!”
I saw your wisdom, your courage too,
And I learned I could rely on you.
Your tolerant nature was really great;
Nevertheless, you’d not hesitate
To let me know when I’d been bad
It must have been hard, but that’s being a dad.
You’re strong and smart and filled with love–
A gift to me from up above.
So here’s a greeting from your biggest fan:
Happy Birthday, Dad, cause “You da man!”
By Karl Fuchs
Dad,
Although this poem may be a little different from your style,
I felt it represents very well, a Daddy for a child.
Hope you like it. . . we love you lots
Love
Ashish & Priti

Congratulations to my Best & Dearest Dhenu I had a really nice time at your graduation. This was the 1st time I have ever attended any graduation. Now your professional life starts. You have to go through your Big Bar Exam & then enter the world of law where there is lots of ups & downs. I wish you all the best & support from my side to you. Missed my parents but anyways…..waiting for the time when they are with both of us
Thank You everyone for coming & also thanks to all who gave best wishes to dhenu.
Short Summary for those who were not here: It was nice time & tiring too at the end of the day. There were whole lot of people(18 to 28) & almost whole day we were out doing something or the other. Did not even get time to think as what is going on these 2 days, time moved so fast. I think all of them had a very good time visiting Chicago. Weather was nice too, went to Navy Pier, Devon, Jain & Swami Narayan Mandir….. Eat lot of junk 
Don’t know what more to write at this moment, may be I will tell nimit to edit if I want to add something more but anyways thanks once again & BIG Congrats to Dhenu.
Felt this is something of importance to share.
Be careful how you list names on your cell phone!
This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile
phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her
mobile, Credit card, purse…etc…. was stolen. 20 minutes later when
she called her Husband, from a pay phone telling him what had happened,
hubby says “I’ve Just received your text asking about our Pin number and
I’ve replied a little while ago.”
When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the
money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen
hand phone to text “hubby” in the contact list and got hold of the pin
number.
Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.
Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and
the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey,
Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mom etc……. And very importantly, when
sensitive info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also,
when you’re being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be
sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you
don’t reach them, be very careful about going places to meet “family and
friends” who text message you.
A very Happy 50th Birthday to Mom! This day is truly a celebration of 50 years of wonderful memories and many more to come.
Love,
Dhenu & Mitesh
