Folks, it is that time of the year. The time when you have to shift your attention from yourself to your family. I am taking a short break from the daily routine and flying to India to spend some quality time with my parents and my brother’s family.
What does this mean? Two things - I won’t be furiously blogging, but blog I will. It means fewer posts from me, though longer posts since I am pretty sure the jet lag is going to cause a mini havoc on my sleep schedule. In the past I have worried about leaving the blog untended, but this time around things are a lot different. The GigaTeam is in full effect, and by now you are familiar with most of them.
There is a lot of writing that has been postponed, mostly because of lack of time. I am going to work on some of those topics and finish that bit while away. Since this isn’t a working trip, I am not sure if I am doing some active reporting, though if someone wants to arrange a meet-up, please let me know. Next week would be perfect!

As a regular reader of your blog I was surprised and somewhat excited to see that you used our promotional banner for our new release “Om Chilled”.
Are you a fan of the label?
Can we get a credit for the banner/release?
Best,
John

Have a great time, Om!
There is a lot of exciting stuff happening in India, and the growth/exuberance seems almost like what it was in 1999 in the valley :) A lot of us are now wondering how sustainable this growth will be and whether a slowdown is around the corner… Hopefully, we will hear your take after the visit!

Om,
Me too a regular reader of ur blog; and incidentally am a resident of West Delhi too, where looks like you were too.(Google goes to the mall story).
Have a couple of ideas for a gaming startup and looking for mentorship in approaching a VC / Seedfund.
Would be great to meet/chat/talk/discuss
whatever works and sound out some of these ideas with u.
Mail me if this seems interesting enough.
