Its been a fantastic break from work for me so far (gosh, its been 3 weeks with no work, no pay !!) and I had a chance to do quite a few things that were pending for me for a very long time.

The first and foremost, I did have a time to play with my little kid ‘Sharv’ and see him growing during his first month. He is one cute little prince for us !

Meanwhile, the furniture work that I had started to get done is complete today and I would soon be posting the photographs on this blog for you all to see and comment on. If you can’t wait until that time, then you might want to have a look at my previous post about my designs and imagine how it may look like ;-) So finally I have my work desk at home where I am sitting to write this blog !

More importantly, I had a great time thinking on what I should be doing as my next move. In my previous post where I mentioned that I have resigned from TechMahindra, I did mention that I had a job offer in my hand and I might join another organization in search of a better & a bigger challenge.

However, when I left TechMahindra, my primary objective was to take a break and think about future.

Amdocs offered me a chance to join their organization and offered me a real challenge that I was looking after. A completely new domain, a very different set of technology & processes & of course different set of people around, was a big challenge. I somehow liked it and finally decided to join the company and take up the new assignment.

I still have the thoughts of getting into entrepreneurship and would be attempting to do something along the way. Keep an eye on http://www.thirdbuttonred.com meanwhile .. !

However, hopefully the new assignment now will give me new chance to prove myself all over again..

After lots of discussions and after having a voting within my family, we decided on the name of my son as “Sharv”.

Sharv represents name of Lord Shiva

Few more names we considered were Romir, Arin, Aarav, Aarush, Krish, Rishit, Adit & Aadi.

He is fair, got dark grey eyes and smiles in his sleep !!

I have uploaded few of his photos on Facebook and you can see them by clicking here !!

It’s a baby boy for us !!

Ladies & Gentlemen !

It gives me great pleasure to inform you all that my wife (Kanika) delivered a healthy baby boy yesterday night (15th Sep 2009) and have made us proud parents again and my daughter has her own younger brother now !!

It’s a great moment for our family !

Unfortunately due to me being in a different city than my wife during this, I could not be with her during her painful moments but the joy she has given all of us has made us forever indebted to her. 

I love you Kanika, more than ever now !

Now comes the most difficult part of deciding a name for the baby. Although we have been discussing few names for boys & girls earlier, we were never serious in arriving at a definite name until now.

We had a simple criteria in our minds while deciding names. We think the name should be short enough, easy to read, write and pronounce. Few names we are thinking as of now are  Romir, Arin, Adit & Aarush.   Hopefully we will decide a good short, sweet name for the baby boy very soon !

In a celebration mood …

me !
