Alas for Red Sox ... and more !!

Well I could not update last week but the news is that RS did not make it ... they had a tremendous comeback to catch up with TB Rays (sounds diseased :D) to tie it 3-3 but lost the last game to allow Tampa Bay Rays to go into the world series. Well if it is of any consolation, TB Rays lost to the Phillies in the World Series finals. So bottom line was that there was no Boston .. no LA .. in the MLB finals (that would have been some match-up for me as a supporter 
This past 2 weeks have been very happening … I officially got work … Bombay a.k.a. Mumbai went to the dumps with riots following arrest of a local political honcho. It was a pity to see public transport and property damaged and burnt .. with the perpetrators not realizing that it was public tax money being wasted. I failed to understand how any of the actions that took place helped the people of Maharashtra … Politics has this dirty way of ridiculing the common man, time and again by showing its ugly a** & face frequently.
Diwali was calm n tumultuous (in the right sense) for me, at home with family. Managed to gorge in a lot of sweets and gain some weight :D … and then back to the grind …
And then, yesterday, some more blasts, in Assam this time … an earthquake in Pakistan … so many deaths … as if god is orchestrating a population reduction agenda… gets one thinking where the world is heading and what would be there for our generation and the future generations to come.
And the biggie is the recession slowly descending over the world … US being the worst hit and the rest of the world following suit … the US dream and the H1B bubble seems to be a very bad idea now all of a sudden. I hope people think 10 times before taking any rash steps … cause the worries that it can bring will affect everyone connected to them … it is sometimes a good thing to listen to others in addition to yourself and take any advice positively … n’est ce pas? (Is it not in French)
Hope things change for the better soon world over. (Do I sound like AB Sr. here hehehehehe)
