I never realize the importance of ThanksGiving untill I experience one myself. I really wanted to write this article on my personal blog but then to push it home, I am having it here as I am targetting more of the technical peoples to extend my virtual Thanks.
I am somewhere in South Pasadena for over a week, living with a family, dinning everyday with them, family shopping for clothes, vegetables and everything else in between, watching movies, mixing both business dinners with family/friend getting-to-know meetings. Experiencing Sushi yet again. I wasn’t that comfortable eating it during my last visit in June this year but now I am beginning to like it. I was surprised when the chief chef at Yoshida recognized me with a Hello, Long Time; No See. Tasted the foods at a Thai Temple (I have forgotten where it was). They have something called “Green Card Lottery”; yes, you can get Green Card through Lottery. Well, they say America is more about foods, merry-making, enjoyment, nice cars, vacations and all the other good stuffs and I am beginning to believe that. The weather in this part of the state is really cool, extremely nice and is really soothing to a person coming from the humid warm weather of Mumbai, India.
On this ThanksGiving day, the family had been frantically piling up cold drinks, preparing foods since early morning to entertain a good amount of guest. The meat balls are tasty, the smell of the huge Turkey had been tempting my taste-buds ever since it puffs out its first aroma.
I would really like to thank many people, organization from whom I have learnt a lot, gained a lot. And here is sincere effort to list a few though not the full list which will rather be endless;
- Macromedia
- Movable Type
- Mint and its Pepper authors
- O’Reilly
- IFBIN
- Teknopoint
- DPMG
- Master Mind Financial Services
- Mike Chambers
- Edward Sullivan
- Christine Lawson
- Jessica Nguyen
- Peldi Guilizzoni
- Brian Lesser
- Phillip Wittenbergh
- Joey Lott
- Darshan Sawardekar
- Arindam Biswas
- …
And all the other great people whom I have interacted with, learnt from and all the clients I worked for.
Note
- I will keep adding names and more links to the above list.
- Personal Blog: It is not yet public, I am still thinking on its design. Nonethless, I am pretty sure what contents goes there; very likely to include music, movies, books, games, travelogue, people, places. This will be announced appropriately and be highlighted well on the main page of my site for the interested audience. I will take care that this does not infiltrate into the technical blog.
