Good Bye 2007 and Welcome 2008!

No doubt! It has been a very busy life. The research, the family and other social obligations have taken almost all the time that is available. At times, increasing gray hair reminds the reality of me growing older. But the way I have been blessed with family, friends and colleagues, I can not complain and must not complain.

We invited my parents to visit us from Nepal. It was their first time visiting the US and it was a wonderful time spending together for three generations of us. They enjoyed our stay in Palo Alto during the great bright summer days. I enjoy driving. We drove south to San Diego and north to Portland and Seattle. The drive along very scenic California highway 1 was just amazing while going to south. We had a great time in Universal Studios, Hollywood, LA and the Sea World in San Diego. Our trip to the Disneyland during this winter break was once in a life time experience. I never saw as many people in my life in one place that were gathered in Disneyland. It was a very special experience to be part of the celebration of the holidays. I hope these pictures will reflect some beautiful scenes that we had enjoyed.

Looking forward to the year 2008, I do not see any better in terms of time pressure, the deadlines and living a life of a "postdoc". I will be updating the events in my life here more frequently which is one of my New Year’s resolutions!

I wish a very Happy New Year 2008 to you all. May peace, joy, prosperity, and success be yours.
