Quick update

Further enfeebling the market, Dollar plunges in the wake of Fed move... Fed cuts rates near Zero.. Another highlight of the news today.. Goldman bonuses set to sink.... apparently, the CEO is not going to be taking any bonuses for 2008. Well I guess that is how the work gets done in the Wall Street. If the market is good.. then you are showered with all that money... and vice versa.. I guess, to Investment Banks, this year has been one of the worst years.

The bad news in the economy does not stop to make the headlines... During the Thanks Giving break the Mumbai terror had seemed to capture the audience... now again, back to the recession world. The whole case of Bernanrd Madoff.. the Ponzii scheme as they say. Apparently, the Spanish heiress is suferring one of the biggest losses through this. Alicia Koplowiz... I believe is her name and she has lost about $ 14.3 mill through her invesment firm. uh oh....

Aside from the market world nothing interesting has happened. I am slowly recovering from the flu. I went to downtown all bundled up on Monday. It was 8 degree which in celsius translantes to being -15 I think. very very cold... I had my thermal on, but, it did not help nontheless. I was still cold...

I have to do to downtown again and it is suppose to snow tomorrow.. we are expecing.. 5 to 6 inches... Glory Glory. Pras is in Cali busy with his VC trek. I am busy preparing for my visit to downtown tomorrow. the new year is almost here.....

The fridge at our apartment stopped working and unfortunately, we had just stocked on Sunday...I have put the frozen food, creamer, milk outside the window but how long can I do that for?

After long time

It is almost end of 2008 now. This has been a good year. Relaxing year. We did a whole lot of traveling..... this year was too short of a year. Now.. the new year of 2009 will be welcoming us in about couple of weeks.

Today is a cold Monday. I had to go to downtown Chicago to meet one individual from William and Blair Company but, i am sick. Hopefully not the flue but I feel weak. I have been drinking a lot but still feel tired and weak. It is cold outside--the ground is still white.. the snow has lies on the ground peacefully. About a year ago I had slipped and almost fractured my arm... This year I have been ultra careful. We still need to buy the winter attire. Boots and downs and what not...

Thanks Giving weekend was nice. We went to Louisiana and Mississippi. It was sort of a family gathering. We drove for almost 4 days back and forth but it was nice. I need to get into the habit of writing again.. and the reading one... I used to be a good reader and a writer...but now, I have not been doing so. I had started to study for my Series 7 exam... and now since I have been sick, I have not been able to focus. I need to tough...

This is a quick update...for now. I feel tired already!!
