[silk] Thanks for a warm welcome

2009-03-22 Thread Amit Somani
Hello Folks:

Sorry for the delay in my response; I am trying to figure out how to make a
GMail address work well with Yahoo! Groups and some sort of a "digest"
option (of course, without top-posting in one's response ;-))

Deepa, Radhika thanks for the warm welcome and the support for both my ideas
on getting into the Food business ;-)

Charles, I sure do remember you from our work together though never could
make it to one of your Poker parties when you were in Bangalore!!

Cheeni, good to know there are other Googlers including yourself on the
list.

Thanks again everyone for the welcome and I look forward to enjoying the
discussion on this list.

Cheers,
Amit


[silk] Introduction (new member)

2009-03-20 Thread Amit Somani
Hello Folks:
Freeman Murray recommended Silklist to me as a place where a lot of
interesting conversations happen. I'm glad Udhay let me in :-)) He also
recommended I introduce myself. So here goes.

I'm Amit Somani and I recently returned to India after spending 14 years in
the US. I am presently in Product Management at Google Bangalore. I started
my career at IBM Research in San Jose and spent many years in IBM's Software
Group as well. I'm a foodie, a proud father of a toddler, a sports
enthusiast and wonder from time to time if running an ice-cream parlor or a
mexican restaurant would be more fun than being in the corporate world ;-)

Regards,
Amit
