Free At Last

It is one of the best days of my life. I saw Barack Obama being sworn in. I heard his speech. I never thought I would live to see the day when a speech by a politician would move me. We are all jaded. We saw Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, and Oh My God, Dubya and we saw the spiral downward from which we thought politics would never recover.

We are finally free, free of George W Bush. Hooray.

It is too early to say the politics as it was is finally over. I have hope. I have hope that this man would lead us to a better future. I also hope that the weight of our expectation would not crush him.

All in all a great day for United States of America and the world in general.

What is in a name - Take Two

I have written before how my name gets mangled all the time. Recently I received an mail from my bank addressed to

Ramar G Havan

It was pretty decent of the bank to shorten my first name, give me a new last name and finally add a middle initial that I so lacked!!
