So I have moved again, this time to the eastern and new up coming area of Mumbai. Hopefully this will be a move where I will stay here for a while, but then never say never. This place reminds me of our place in Newport Pavonia, Jersey City, where used to live on the 22nd floor for a year. This place is similar only i get to see Nava Sheva port instead of downtown Manhattan. This area is fairly under developed part of Bombay and right now I am in the process of finding different places from where I can order food (have found Indian Chinese and Mughalai).

Kids are growing up really so fast and time flies. The older one is 4.5 years and the younger one is 2.5 years. The boy has taught himself how to watch movies on the DVD (still do not have cable at this house) and is good at arts and crafts. He enjoys to paint. The little one follows her brother and wants to everything that big bro does.

On the professional front, MapmyIndia is doing well, we have moved into a new office in Delhi and are quite growing. Have raised another round of funding from existing investors and Qualcomm Ventures. Work is interesting and over the past 2 odd years, have learned quite a bit how to sell in India. It is an artwork. My personal professional network has become quite significant as maps are licensed to folks from all walks of life.

Exercise and gym etc are all history and have given up on that, so putting on tonnes of weight. Dont see that changing in the near future. Travelling has reduced but it will resume next month, when the rains hit Bombay.

More later,
Adious,
