Bill Gates

I read in news today that Bill Gates is stepping down from being Microsoft Chairman and wants to work full time on his charitable projects. He mainly wants to work on healthcare. I remember that couple of years ago I saw his picture along with his wife among an African tribe in Africa. They had traveled there to help poor people. That picture made me amazed and I admired him so much, although I was not a Microsoft fan at that time and the technologies that used for my job were not mainly Microsoft product but I thought what a great person!!
I really admire him, although there have been lots of critics towards him and his company over the years but he is a genius. He definitely changed the world of Information Technology and as an IT person I give him lot of credits. Some of the products are just for business and making more money but some f their tools are excellent and make a programmer’s life like myself a lot easier ( now I work for a place that is a Microsoft shop, we use lots of their products). Besides being a smart business man he is good human being. There are lots of rich people all over the world that have never done what he is doing! May be you have heard that he is just giving each of his kids $10,000,000 and the rest of his wealth will go to charity after his death!! I admire him a lot. I wish I could be rich and help poor people. I think one of the greatest joys in life is to be able to help poor and sick people, especially kids.
You know that I believe hell and heaven is this world and we keep coming and living in the hell or heaven that we built in our pervious life, if we were a good person in past life the world will be a more heaven like place for us and if we were bad people in pervious life the world will be a hell for us. We just keep coming until we are completely purified and can go to the next level of life. This is my theory and understanding from hell and heaven and that is the only explanation that I can have for all the injustice that we see in the world for me!!
Any way I think Bill Gates has been a great person in his past life so the world has been a heaven for him and has given him enough opportunities to be at the point that he is at now! Good for him and god bless him.

8th Anniversary

Yesterday was our 8th anniversary, Time flew. The best part of our marriage is having our sons that we both love them to death.
My husband got me my favorite flower which is red roses but we did not go out because it was a week day and we were both tired.

It is amazing that how I have got used to be married and having family that now that I look back is hard to believe that I was single some day without any responsibility. To me it’s like I have had this family forever!
Sometimes I miss my single time but on the other hand I cannot live without my kids even for one day!!
I think parenthood with all of it’s responsibilities and troubles is a very special chapter in every body’s life and to me it is worth the trouble!

A New Post

-It’s been a little bit stressful in the last couple of days for me.
My Mom got very sick and we took her to emergency room over the weekend, thank god she is better now.
We have upgraded all of our applications on our Internet web site to new servers at work and that was pretty much hectic too, especially because my boss went on a 4 weeks vacation!! Since Monday and we just went live with new upgrades on last Friday!! Most of the pressure was on me and my other co-worker. Things were smoother at work today. On the other hand I have two boys to take care when I go home and I miss them when I am at work. My Mother-In-Law is staying with us now (she goes back and forth to my other in-laws house). She was telling me the other day, that I would better stay home with kids and quit my job. She was comparing me (like all the time) with my other sister-in-law who does not work and is home with her child. She was telling me that her daughter is lucky to have Mom around!!
Although I know that she does not have bad intention by saying that and she just says whatever she thinks, but I was upset. Whoever is a working Mom knows what I say, when you work and have kids at home you always feel guilty for not being with them all the time and when people around you make comments like that, that really bothers!
Any way I know that although I feel guilty I am not going to quit my job, there will be lots of negative points to it for us and my hours at work are not really that bad.
Any way every time that she comes and stays with us she says things that bothers me but I try to stay cool and do whatever I feel that is right for me and my family. I guess we cannot change people and we should not bother to do that, we should just stay calm!
-Barak Obama is the candidate for Democratic party now, I will vote for him but was sad for Hillary too, she tried very hard. I think media was really hard on her. Her husband’s issue with that Monica Lewinsky affected her election too. People in us can become very shallow when it comes to these kind of things.
Now , another important thing is who Obama will choose as his vice president, this will have a very vital impact on his election, some people say he may choose Hillary which will make an interesting combination! We will see. I truly hope that he wins for various reasons, first of all I am a democrat and I want a democrat president goes to white house, second I think he has good plans and finally I think if a black person becomes president of US that will have a great positive impact on racial issues in this country and even other countries. It is time for the whole world to change and accept that color, nationality, race and religion does not matter and we are all human beings with equal rights!!!!!
Good luck to Obama!
