Iran and America - Basketball star being rejected?

Read this earlier this morning about an 7′ 2″ Iranian basketball star Hamed Ehadadi being rejected by the NBA (due to severed relations between the US and Iran).

I know very little about world politics but I wonder the following: Is Ehadadi more upset with the NBA or with the Iranian government for obstructing his future as an NBA player?  This is an important question in my mind because if it’s the case that he’s

The big ONE and Moving to San Francisco

As usual, it’s been another long break before i decided to fire up Windows Live Writer and post an update on what’s been happening for the handful of you that care. :-)

First off, today’s my/our 1st anniversary.  It means my wife Ritu and I have gone through 1 entire year of marriage.  It’s been an exciting first year for us and we’ve made the most of it.  Since we tied the knot (this literally

About

A headshot of me from Feb 2007

My third attempt at “blogging”.  It use to be that people kept private diaries.  Now it’s about social acceptance this blogging thing.  My reason? To share my discoveries on what I think is interesting.  To gripe about the things that bother me.  To bore the world with some emotions that may affect me from time to time.

Let’s see how far I get this time!

I was born in the suburbs of Chicago, IL and lived there until I was 10 (I think).  Parents moved to Houston and, of course, I had to go with them.  Lived there for a few years and then we moved to…Saudi Arabia.  Didn’t believe it when my father told me.  He brought a World Map to prove to me that there was, in fact, a city called Jeddah.  Lived there for a few years.

Went to boarding school in Switzerland (Leysin American School) for a year (10th grade).  Parents then moved back to Houston where I finished high school.

Went to college for a year at UC Davis (suburban town of Sacramento, California).  Transferred to UT Austin in Austin, Texas and did a few years there.  Moved to Dallas for a year and half (2002 I think).  Moved back down to Houston in the Fall of 2003 (after spending one month back in Austin).

Moved to Calcutta/Kolkata, India in March 2004 where I founded a little Internet company named Tripod Computing.  Exactly four year laters, I moved back to the US this time settling in the Bay Area (Millbrae) and now work at Social Media Networks, a pioneer in the field of social advertising.

That pretty much sums it up.  And now the story begins…
