What a year ... already!!!!

Exciting, Exhilarating, Encouraging!!!!!!

Slumdog Millionaire has put India on the map like none other scoring 4/4 wins at the Golden Globes and 10 Nominations at the Oscars.

Obama has taken Oath of Office, twice, for the President of the United States - First African American President EVER!!!

An Indian has been offered the position of the US Surgeon General and another is about to be offered the position of Federal CTO (I hope its the one I know ... GO VK!!!!).

Ghajini has made Indian Box office history by crossing the 2 Crore mark within 2 weeks.

Shahrukh Khan has made history by appearing on the Golden Globes.

Amitabh Bachchan has made history with his Blogging.

Oprah has finally made it to DC to see me (yeah right).

I have made history by Snowboarding for the first time in my life (OK so none of you really care about that but me) :D

I'm sure there are a dozen other things that have happened but I've only listed things that are close to my heart, Bollywood & DC.

On a more serious note, I was at the center of the Earth this week, Washington DC!!!! There are not enough words in the dictionary to allow me to explain to you what a great sense of unity, love, and hope was felt all around town. A sea of people is what you saw everywhere and a crowd of hopefuls flooded the city. Everywhere I looked I saw happiness on everyone's face. It was a time like no other, given that only the future will tell what change will occur, the fact that everyone now has hope and the desire to see change can only lead us to a place far better than what we've seen so far in this century. So keep up the hope people and make atleast one change in your life this year.

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!!!!!!
