I feel compelled to tell you that most of my old posts here make me cringe now :-) But they show how I was and how much I've grown since. So I hope I'll look back at my new posts in a decade and cringe just as hard. ~ Kirubakaran Jul 24, 2017

Pet Rock!

There was a ‘whose pet looks best?’ competition organized by the diversity group at work. I helped them a little bit in setting up email votes etc.

Tom Sirgedas had sent in a pic of his pet, a rock! This is what he had written:

Here's a picture of my pet rock, George. George is so big, I have to keep him outside in the garden. George is very low maintenance... he only needs water and bath about once a month. George is too old to be taken on walks anymore; however, I can get George to roll-over once in a while. George sits outside of dining room window so I can talk to him on a daily basis. George is very good with kids... he never bites or barks when the kids climb on his back, tease him, or try to push him over. George only had one puppy... which was chip off the old block... named Pebbles. George has been the best pet ever!

Thanks a lot - you comment is very encouraging.

Even if you want to be anonymous to the world, any hints on who you are? :)
