Hamas ready for truce, Zelensky saying the war in Ukraine is going to end faster now with Trump in office – I guess there was a point after all that once he is in wars will just end because of his strong arm tactics. Gotta give him that if it actually does happen.

Every time Mike Tyson is in news i remember the incident in Georgetown from 20 years ago. Me and friends having food/drinks/shisha at outdoor hangout, and suddenly we start seeing dollar bills flying all around. We look up to see a man from top floor literally throwing money out and yelling Tyson won! He was literally throwing money on the streets in happiness. It was so much that whole of that area in Georgetown came to a standstill with people trying to catch as many bills as they can. Heck we were 20 somethings we did it too because it was “fun”. There were 10, 20, 5, 100 you name it and this guy was just throwing money to the wind. Between 5 of us we collected enough money to pay for the drinks, food and shisha that night! Everytime Mike Tyson is in news reminds me of that night back in Georgetown. Cant believe that was also 2 decades back now!

My kid is not the fastest swimmer in her group and all of her besties are better in most strokes except breast. It’s always heartening to see how these girls pep each other up and push each other to do better in every race. Today the girls pepped and hyped my kid so much for the 500 free because the last time she raced it she was disqualified. This time she did great and dropped almost 20 seconds! Man these friendships are to cherish for.

At that phase of life where even my car updates its OS. I feel like I need to know what changed and what’s new!

Looking at the cabinet picks I think I want to go back to DEI hires.

It’s so bizarre that voters across different demographics all swung towards Trump – be it Latins all over, Cubans in Florida, Somalians in Minnesota, Arabs in Michigan and so on. And yet somehow democrats are the party of immigrants it seems. Make it make sense. I really hope democrats do a seriously right shift on immigration because they clearly are not the party for immigrants anyway so why even try 😂

Ugh, cold is back again. Like why can’t we be in permanent summer or spring. (Yeah yeah i know, no need to tell me the obvious).

I am surprised Netanyahu did not get a cabinet position in this new admin after all the efforts he put in! War monger, Ethnic Cleanser, Genocide expert, Modern day Hitler — any of these titles and roles would’ve fitted him really well!

Today we offered a role in my team to a young Indian lady who just completed her masters and getting started and not even finished her OPT yet. She was what we call a split loop, where half the interviewers said yes to her and other half said no. But the entire panel agreed she had great attitude, curious, and showed a lot of potential and she was worth taking a chance on. So we decided to offer the role to her. I am glad she accepted and will be joining my team soon.

Has touching base gone out of fashion. There was a time when everyone in corporate world wanted to “touch base” with you next week. Now no one wants to touch base anymore. Sad!
