missed blogging

Its been such a long time since I've made it up to here and truly missed typing away all the thoughts and recaps of events!
May


It was a busy month with shopping and prep to a much awaited trip home ! I also got invited to a Bachelorette bash (my first ever) and it was loaded with craziness and fun! made new friends and what an experience ! LOL! ;-)
June
Probably will be the best month of the year! I visited family after 2 long years and being at home and those familiar places are just so refreshing and welcome ! Finally got to see the Chennai beaches, was lucky to re-visit family temples and got to take dh to DXB! We made it to the desert safari, Qds, new malls & resort and the took some patel shots during the trip ! Dad's 60th birthday function and celebrations went well and it was painful to come back here. It was also our 2nd wedding anniversary the same day! (I know, 2 years just flew by). Also, we got bumped upto first class on our flight from SFO and that just added to the whole excitement from the beginning! :-)

July
Most of it was just settling back on the long weekend, crying about having to go back to work and getting papers done to begin a possible education plan. All the boring stuff are back to place and yes, we are now back to routine! sob! Watched some crap movies -The Proposal and Funny People, totally lacking substance...on the good side, it was Varalakshmi Puja, my 3rd time conducting the ritual and every time I get points to improvise on the next year's puja. This month is also the beginning of regular carpool that has added to convenience and saving some time and the best part being conversing ! I do miss my reading, but now that I've to gear up for education, I will have a lot of undesired reading to do anyways!

August
August has been good so far, picked up at work, recovered from home sickness, got accepted by Board to take up a qualification, been cooking and eating more home made food, organized a potluck at home and partied once. watched couple of good movies back to back last night -- The Bank Job and Righteous Kill. I recommend both, if you haven't seen these yet. I loved them both ! Al Pacino is a favorite too.
Hope to ramble more often with details !

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
