So , I finally made a move from my job in PSS to the product I enjoyed playing with most , ASTORIA ( ADO.NET Data Sources ).

Of course, this means that I have moved from half-way across the world to join the team in Redmond, WA.

About a week after I joined , we went Skiing .  Me , being a  novice , hurt myself snowboarding and wear a band-aid on my forehead as proudly as one would wear a war wound with pride.

I realized that I had all the attitude to be a snowboarder and none of the skill :-).

See how a high-performance team beats the deadline for fun over here : RESTing on the slopes
