After a longish wait, I am finally an aunt. I can't seem to get enough of my adorable little niece. I wake up most mornings and look at her pictures or get on to video chat to see her funny movements. I keep tormenting Arya about how she looks like her in this photo and that. I also made sure that I book my tickets to San Diego much in advance for the Dec holidays. 4 months is the earliest ever that I have gotten tickets.
I also keep worrying about how the daycare people are going to treat her once my parents return to India. :-)
Recently, she smiled at us on the video chat. It was a moment. We were all under her spell. Now besides having her on my screensaver and hanging up her picture in my office, I have suddenly developed an avid interest in looking at other people's babies and comparing them (unfavourably) to our family ka bachcha.

Y to D
It's been slightly over a month now that I have joined the D company. The Y company seems so far away now. I was quite perplexed there with the maturity levels of people all around me, but I do admit that they do know how to have fun - BIG TIME!
At D, everyone is much more serious and committed to their work. People routinely log in late at night and keep working at unimaginable hours. I have been lucky to meet a lot of people that I have worked with in the past. Everyone has been incredibly helpful and really really sweet.
I still remember my first day at work in the M company.... such a far cry from my first day at D. I remember feeling scared and vulnerable and looking at all the seniors with so much admiration. Makes me laugh now. At D, things went so smoothly, I never had any first day blues. The people I work with are very experienced and I am really happy with that. I got some praise for having gotten up to speed fast (the way that they like it at D) so I am currently basking in that!
My boss is wonderful. She seems to see most things the way I do, and that is very useful. She's very young and very successful, a great role model. Plus she loves wine and birthdays...the similarities never end!
