We decided to visit the “Valley of Fire” on one of our days in Vegas… Of all these years coming here we had missed this place… just an hour drive from the strip… Our six year old was not very amused… he tried persuading us to revisit Excalibur and circus circus… where he says there are more small kid’s games rather than big kid’s games… … Continue reading Valley of Fire, Kids, Trust and some Random Thoughts

Hi 2013…
Yet another year gets smothered by its successor….. the world rejoices….. the hope that the new year will wipe out everything dreadful…. turn them into easily forgettable bite size memories…… don’t worry…. we now have the peace of mind of surviving another year… with many promises given that we could never keep….. with many futile attempts to be selfless…… we are ready to happily embrace you….
In 2012 we saw the world suffocate from unshed tears…. countless smiles were mercilessly shot down…. we witnessed respect and honor battered and bruised publicly…. yes it is true we have very short memories…. at least about things that don’t directly matter to us….
We faithfully and without regret forget the pains that others have to endure …. Dear 2013 you should know… our ability to discard any probability of seeing ourself in a victim’s place is indeed commendable… that could very well be the skill that always keeps us going…. that ability to forget and move on…. We know you must be smiling…. but that is true…

When you hear Gary speak as you sit in the audience or when you have a one on one chat with him, he answers … Continue reading Meeting Gary Guller
Do you remember being a third grader?. Those are times when what we value is much different from what we bother to value now. Yet many incidents from those times get stuck in us keeping us aware that we too were kids.
