In recent times, two Hs have troubled me: H1 and Hillary Clinton.
The day Hillary dropped out, it was such a serene feeling for so many reasons. David had triumphed over Goliath...the unbeatable Clinton juggernaut was dead and for all of us who love to challenge the odds, the hope was still alive. If Obama could beat Clinton, really, what is impossible? Seems like a perfect Adidas ad!!! I am sure Adidas would love to have Obama on with Impossible Is Nothing written below...not sure, how much Mr. President would be interested!!
The other H got nasty and I was amongst the 20% people who did their Masters from a US university but did not get selected in the lottery that was conducted. So what I planned to do in December is happening six months earlier. It was a sudden reality check because I needed to take some decisions fast. Bottom line is that all worked out well. I will be working out of the Pune office of my company starting 21st July.
Some part of me does say that if it had happened the other way, with Hillary getting the nomination and I getting my H1, I would not have been happy. To be forced to watch her day after day would have been worse than all the quick fire preparations I have had to do recently to go back.
Final two: USC and Lakers...I am hoping that USC will win a national championship this time around. We came close in my first year in US( Damn you Vince Young!!! Long Horns can kiss my A$#) and then it just slipped out. This year might bring a different result and I will be watching for it.
And Lakers...well, what could be said for what was a brutal ending for a beautiful season...131-92???? I am sure Kobe and the gang would do the unfinished job next year and I will be cheering from back in India!!!

realistically speaking I think Hillary would have had better chance for the democrats than Obama. Obama supporters might still have reluctantly voted for her, but I don't think Obama can get all of Hillary's votes. Also there is the whole reverend thing that came up... doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
Give me a call once you land in Pune.
