Eid Mubarak!!


Ramadan fasting is over and I am back in feasting mode!

This weekend it was Eid and I really enjoyed the way people here observe it. I went to Mary land for EID prayers. What I enjoyed most was the great party after the prayers, every body brought gifts cakes and food, moving in a line with all fun and laughter! ...oh yes... I did miss my family.

But then there are my lovely housemates who give me a homely feeling! this weekend we had some great Indian food saw musical, melodramatic hindi songs on Youtube.

Last week at work was busy, entertaining but satisfying. I went to a fund raising lunch organized by the Washington Area Women Foundation. I found that the event was a good mix of recreation, media, and food and off course fund raising!!
Just imagine in a short span of 2 hours, we saw a film, people had lunch, got involved in a lucky draw, heard live stories from the beneficiaries, got few poems from one of the pioneer and observed a discussion on collective philanthropy.
It was a fantastic event with more than 1500 people under one roof, and every thing was perfect!

These days I have been working on new software’s to do online research and analysis. I would suggest that anybody who is interested in doing survey should try wufoo.com, its awesome and easy!

Landing In DC

After a short delay to join the group,This is my first week in DC and I am happy that i am here finally. DC is hot these days but the people here are really warm at heart, be it my Host Noah scott, staff of global giving ,Other fellows Or Kimi . All of them have helped me to feel at home. Yesterday was my first day at work where I met most of the staff & read about the organisations . Saima and manmeet told me about it in detail with few success stories of the organiation. Denis the Founder Of Global Giving was busy in a board meeting, but I briefly interacted with him and Got motivated with his approach and openness. in just few minutes he motivated me to present an IDEA in the staff meeting . so on the very first day i got charged up, have started working on it and Inshallah !Pretty soon I will present it for peer review and feedback.

The Jungle in me

Visiting the jungle first time I realised its like me. The sunshine the river and the cool air, Reminds me of the freedom  everywhere. There is a tiger some where and couple of cuckoo, He is so scared of them, It does not seem true! And the bounce and  sharpness of a deer keeps  away all that is unwanted my dear ! Sometimes there is a lazy fearless crocodile  in here, Who does not care about anything any where. And the disorder mental stuff like entropy A millions of unorganized  green  canopy There is bit of dust and the rotten woods, But that's fine for the bugs like the organic goods. Whether it is long trail, or a  short gully All will end in dust eventually. Syed Mohammad Yunus
