Its Thanksgiving!!!

So today is the Canadian thanksgiving and many of my friends will enjoy a quiet dinner with family. Well it also happens to be Ramadan so many other friends will feast after sunset. I was invited to such a feast just yesterday!

So let me see what I have to thank for - a healthy body (I twisted my leg while walking down the stairs but that is not anything major), getting admitted to a good MBA program, loving parents, beautiful autumn (fall for North Americans) scenery near the Don Valley Parkway, Toronto with leaves coloured golden, yellow, ornage, red and every colour in between these.

I know I should start blogging more often. May be after Ramadan - when the fasting would end and I would be comparatively less involved in sleeping and prayers. I should not reduce the second one of these though!

A nice surprise :)

Today I checked my email at around 20.00hrs (8PM) and received an email from a helping person. I had written to this person to mentor me in the area of management consulting and he replied with lots of advice. Now I would not like to mention this person's name because of privacy issues.

However I can reveal how I reached this person - thorough Sacha Chua (sachachua.com) my contact at LinkedIn.

It is she who encouraged me to take up blogging as a way to reach out and make friends, post my opinions and influence potential employers.

Well I am still new to blogging so I will keep this short :)

Until the next time,

Ali
