Merry Christmas, Home Alone.....

Thank You, TBS , for playing home alone today....I watched this movie over and over again, and most of those times when I was home alone. So, the here is Christmas and it is slipping away until next year we get it back. I made phone calls and wrote emails to friends in many countries wishing Merry Christmas. Today was Hanukah as well. So, Happy Hanukah to my Jewish friends. I wish I could keep track of all the faith based festivals of the world so that I could greet my friends from different religions, languages and cultures. Now a days, sendings greetings became so easy! A click away! But I should also mention about the duality of technology and politics of the present time we all are passing through around the world..

One the one hand amazing advances in communications and transportation technology is bringing us together via cell phone, email, video phone, instant messaging, super sonic jet planes, sattelites etc. On the other hand, political and social unrests and extremisms are making the process of international communications difficult and slower. One of my class mate from Austria friend was telling me how slower the process has become in the immigration counters at port of entries around U.S. even for the EU nationals. I am sure, many others countries now have put additional restrictions on their immigration and emmigration processes since the beginning of this decade.

It was nice talking to my friend and former room-mate Suman. He is a computer guy originally from India. Now nicely managaing his career and family in USA and progressing with satisfactory speed. He sometimes give me some 'anti-dinosaur tips' which are very useful and taught provoking... ... Curious to know more about his tips? Stay tuned, come to read this e-journal often and eventually I may share with you his contact email address (not the cell number), OK? Good night guys.
