A new year - 2010

It has been three years at MapmyIndia (www.mapmyindia.com) and it has been one helluva ride. Have helped the company enter the GPS navigation marketplace, involved in large mapping surveys, starting vehicle tracking and other related enterprise services, last but not the least, the kids are loving it.

I am all well settled in Bombay (again Mumbai for old timers), trying to learn Marathi (something I should have picked up when I was much younger), and have started enjoying the small pleasures of life in the neighborhood.

The little one has turned 5 and now debates about cricket with me, and the baby girl is growing up to be one cute brat (she loves to cry for everything, as she knows it works). Wife is working hard and is pushing for a new venture with her friend, called Treasure Books (www.treasurebooks.in), a quaint bookshop and activity center for small kids in Khar area (near Fab India off Linking Road). Hence all in all, life is hectic and fun.

I just went to Crawford market and checked out some interesting shops, which is something one should explore on a nice working day away from the headaches of office (btw suggestion to all, get rid of the blackberry and you will find life is more meaningful and interesting), check mails once a day or something like that.

Anyways, have to get back to some work, enjoy the posts, adios.

Shiva,

Nice to see your growth through the years. I am in the starting stages of the thought process to move back. Its scary some times and its nice to think of the process. End of the day people like you make it simple to understand the ins and outs.

Did look at your website mapmyindia.com its cool. Good luck with your venture.
