Dear family,

Apologies for not posting enough updates about Jaini on our website. We celebrated Jaini’s 2nd birthday in January so this would be good time to talk about the joy she is to us.

Two is such a fantastic age. Jaini is in true sense, a bundle of joy these days. We just can’t get enough of her. The things she says, the look she gives, her “nakharas” just leave us hoping that she doesn’t grow up too fast. She loves to sing and dance and enjoys singing various jain stavans. She loves to be bossy around Parth but also is very careful and possessive about his things around other friends. She follows Parth all day and wants to do everything he’s doing, (many times distracting him in whatever he’s doing).  Some times when Parth has had enough of her, he would say, “let’s just send her back to the hospital where she came from…”

She’s Dhiren’s darling and she knows that very well. She would throw unexpected tantrums when he’s around just to get some pampering from him. She loves going to her playgroup and never wants to go home when I go to pick her up. She loves to pretend talk on the phone, carrying her doll in one hand and calculator in the other (pretending that’s a phone).

Jaini enjoyed her birthday party and getting all the attention from mom-dad, nanas-nanis and friends.

This is important information for anyone who was once an Indian citizen but now has naturalized or obtained other country’s citizenship. On June 1, 2010, the US government issued a new law requiring everyone to obtain a “Surrender Certificate” canceling their Indian passports (even expired ones) if there is no CANCELLATION stamp on your Indian passport.

Please read: http://news.rediff.com/report/2010/jun/02/citizenship-rules-changes-relief-to-indian-community.htm

For anyone who has obtained US Citizenship on or before May 31, 2010, you only have to pay $20 fee. All those who obtain foreign citizenship after June 1, 2010, your fee for obtaining Surrender certificate will be $175.00.

Travel will NOT be impacted. Anyone who already has an OCI card will not need to present a Surrender certificate at the consulate in order to travel to or from India. However, it seems like in the future, penalties will be issued for those who fail to obtain these Surrender certificates.

Everyone, please check your Indian passports to see if it was ever officially canceled.

All,

In the wake of the US economy moving haywire, people are juggling between all options that they have in life, I have decided to pursue something very drastic.
If you would remember, I was working with 1-Stop Translation as an Account Manager early 2008, I still kept contact with my boss over there and they are expanding their operations and he wants me to head the operations in South East Asia. I am taking up the offer, I will be working from Jakarta, Indonesia and they already have offices in Shenyang, China and Seoul, Korea.

I will be primarily responsible for establishing the team in that office and work off of projects that we receive from USA with translators and interprerters locally. It is an extremely exciting opportunity for me and i am absolutely looking forward to it.

With that being said, that leaves very less time for me in the US> I am planning to move to Jakarta early June. I hope to see you all before i leave.

Just wanted to share the news with all,

Love,
Paras
