Long Road Behind, Long Long Road Ahead.....

Technology: “To connect everyone to an online world that improves the human condition.” Create an online world having the exceptional property that it advances the capabilities of the many people that use it, and by doing so affects and transforms them in a positive way.
Though working here at nights may be hard and sometimes frustrating, it is inspiring to pursue such a venture. I think the importance in looking at our history and then looking at how we need to change in the future to best fulfill that wordings.

While I was pursuing my training, I have been fascinated by the work of being able to create an online world that was truly an alternate reality - a place where you could do anything. I was very into computers and science. So in my mind, the ultimate thing you could do possibly do with computers was to simulate reality - to create a place where you can make anything you can imagine and share it with others. Virtual worlds, in their broadest form, will be more pervasive that the web, and that means that their systems will need to be open: extended and operated by many people and companies, not just us. And also we need to have new and different ways to communicate more often and more clearly with the people around. Make people believe that Virtual worlds are finally real.

So what should come next? Taking a look at the last few years, I’ve seen many of the critical features working and scaled the world just enough for people to believe. I’ve seen lots of challenges, and I think, though they’ve been hard, people been able to weather them:

Thanks very much for listening.

Hey Friends!

I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted. Well, scratch that. I can believe it. It's been CRA-ZEE around these parts lately. I'm sure you all know the feeling. It doesn't help that I recently became obsessed with started reading about life's of professional footballers. Whoa. The promise of seeing the hunger games past weekend. After a fantastic UEFA Champions League 2012 trophy to Chelsea FC, I ended up blazing through all coming summer transfers in a couple of days. Not my usual type of read, for sure - but let's just say I'm glad I stuck with it! I am the first to admit I'm a bit addicted to my electronic devices (keep it clean, ladies! I'm talking about my Mac, Phone, internet, etc...) but every once in a while it's nice to unplug and curl up with a good read. Oh! I bought online a wrist watch this week and I’m so excited about it. I am loving it! (I know, it’s pretty vain to say one of my favorite things this week is my new wristwatch, but I feel so much better.)

Before I go on, I must address my previous post, A silent debut after years of quite toil.  I was actually a bit hesitant to post it because I really do like to keep the focus of my blog completely positive. Things like silence and the emphasis placed upon it was one of the reasons I found myself at a crossroads a while ago and became the impetus for this blog. Though I don't want to dwell on it, it is a harsh reality of our life and addressing it seemed the right thing to do. Your supportive comments were so needed and appreciated, so thank you for indulging me in a little rant!

So, I am back to reality and ready to face and I'm counting my way down to this summer. My spiritual-brain is still spinning with thoughts of His Holiness Dalai Lama's visit to Leh this July. What the what, now??  As I'm packing up I'm thinking about how I might arrange things differently this winter. I actually have a cute idea for holidaying in the beautiful island of Lakshadweep that I'll be sharing in a few days.  Just plain crazy, but that's par for the plan lately. Such is the life of a voyager!

Spring has sprung

Yes. Hello, sorry, apparently I feel my blogging suffers either way: whether I've got nothing to say or loads to catch you up on. So, yes, this is remarkably like my other webpages, picasa, that I hadn't updated in a very long time.

Is that weird? Is that what other people do? I'm sitting in my room, listening to silence (I was listening to music just a little while ago; I've found I don't really like silence as it makes far too much room for my thoughts), and it's absolutely gorgeous outside (fresh snowy peak is pretty from inside your cozy warm room) and I just started going on about how pretty it all is in my head. I think that's part of the reason I like to blog--and also part of the reason I haven't found a story to write that is my story to tell.
However, the last few hour of frustration has made me all the more aware of how lax I've been with my internet use and identity. I probably shouldn't have started getting into fandom at this stage in life. Now the days are growing ever cooler. Summer of 2012, this time around, I suppose I'll be a bit less strict in my writing; no posts with bibliographies, just thoughts on interesting things I learn in life and the beautiful pictures I click my way. Oh, and about Leh.

So this is me, saying hello again. Stick around, we'll have a fun time.

A silent debut after years of quiet toil

Here I am now. Attempting after a long hiatus, to step back into the world that was once familiar territory. I can hardly believe it has been little over three years since I last posted on this blog. I'm hoping to return and again make this blog a part of my life. First, thank you to all the many readers who viewed this blog and sent me messages. I feel deeply honored to have perhaps you all for stopping by and hitting across!

Let me catch you up...
Over the few years, life has taken on a few new twists and turns (life sure has a way of doing that sometimes, you know)? In addition to my regular busy schedule trying to manage my work, my family, and life in general, I am blessed with a young man into our family. This surely has been the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my life. He has grown now and slowly adapting with the ever competitive world outside!
Over the last two years, my little, gentle, peaceful world turned into a wild roller coaster ride; a ride that has you hanging on for dear life! It is a ride that is literally about experiences, meeting people and the adventure in this part of the barren world... Leh!

Life is settling down... not too much, but enough that I believe I will have time to get back to this blog!

Blessings of love and peace to all,
