Gearing up for summer :)

Hi All,

Long time since I blogged and I cant believe that we are already getting ready
to welcome Summer.

I would like to start out with this weekend of singing.

This weekend was fun, I got back to Karaoke after a long time. We visited Orchid Music Studio in KTOWN. It was a fun night and we had a bunch of great performances.

Rahul was in his usual singing mode. We had the Music Divas singing melodiously in Kate,Ara and Garima. Hayk,Harshal and Anubhav were the three music musketeers. Simon and Roselyn were great together.

Of course I performed like a Rock Star :). Fun night and I think I should go to Karaoke more often :).

Things I am looking forward to this summer not necessarily in the following order.

1) Lakers BasketBall (We Started well in the playoffs 3-0, its time to take this all the way ). The team looks good and I believe we made the best trade in the league by picking up Gasol.

2) Working on Nurall, I am super excited to be working on Nurall, We have a bunch of exciting features coming up.I like the fact that we are moving ahead and with each small step we are moving towards our goal. Also as we interact with Inventors and
figure out how we might help them it makes me feel good about our venture.

3) Building an AdEngine I do this at work in Citysearch. I want to get this out and see
how we monetize it , this is a nice learning experience and a real world test
for what we are building.

4) Surfing Its time to Surf Up in the West Coast. I want to learn how to surf.

There are tons of other things (Work,Girls, Fun,Partying,Events etc ) that I am looking forward to and I will blog as significant things happen.

I have always been an optimist , Signing off with a Jimmy Dean Quote

Wishing you the best

Have Fun

Red Rock : This place rocks

Its been a long time since my last post and today slightly inebriated from partying in red rock I have decided to post about this place. Red Rock is awesome , right across the building that I work.

The last few months have been fun , working for www.citysearch.com, traveling around the country seattle,san francisco,redmond,new jersey and chicago and of course our regular hang outs at red rock.

For the uninitiated
Red Rock
is the bar right across my work place on Sunset Blvd, it is a weekly hangout on Thursday night to watch football,catch up with friends and relax after a long day at work.

Also having been to so many different places I think LA still rocks, Of course I am being slightly biased as I like L.A. However the weather is perfect it is underrated, believe me after traveling to Chicago in December I think I have seen enough snow for a year,maybe we are slightly spoiled :) by the SoCal Weather.

Also it is great to watch USC win the Rose Bowl yet again and I believe college football needs a playoff system,Is it ever going to happen ?

Today was a nice day hanging out with colleagues John,Gabe,Kate,Ara,Simon from Work
and getting back home and to the city for 2008. Wishing you the best for 2008.
