Abdul Haadi's space

So there were two historic moments this week. One that will be cherished for a long time which is Barack Obama becoming the president of US. The other one was today when Microsoft announced its first ever official layoff. Its a sad day that some people in the company will be laid off in the worst possible market conditions. My sincere best wishes to them and I pray that hopefully one day they can look back and say, "whatever happened happened for good". So whenever somebody mentions about the historic moment of Barack Obama getting elected this story of layoff will come to my mind :(.

Got the tax rebate today. Thanks Bush & IRS for giving me $1500 back!

I got lucky because my wife also has a SSN number. She did not have it last year when we filed using her ITIN number. There is a rule that if one of the dependents file using ITIN number then they don't get the rebate :(. I feel sorry for those guys.

 

Cheers!

I watched the hindi movie, "Welcome" today. It is a pretty good comedy movie. Here in Burlington NJ, they show Hindi movies by leasing halls in a multiplex primarily showing English movies. Good change from seeing hindi movies in Totem lake cinema in Seattle which is the worst place to watch movies :). It was ironic because they used to do this in Dallas too (i.e. leasing halls in a good multiplex to show hindi movies) and the last movie I saw there was "No Entry" which was also directed by Anees Bazmi who made this movie Welcome which I saw today. Man 2 and a half years back I never imagined that I will ever visit a place called Burlington in New Jersey to see his next movie. I wonder if it is in anyway related to Burlington Coat Factory though!
