"Silicon
Valley" ……
Dream Big these will come true..
He spent
2 years doing his masters in business management & finally a moment came
for which we were waiting. His name was announced from the dais "Sarang
Paramhans" and he appeared confidently in black rob on stage to receive
MBA degree from UCLA dean Olian. I could feel the level of enthusiasm in him and
the energy flowing in crowd cheering the moment
shouting and clapping for some time …it was really the BIG moment in his
life with many dreams and a satisfying feeling of having graduated from the
TOP business school in USA. Why should not it be? .. …you have worked very
hard, cleared many hurdles, burnt many sleepless nights and then this success
which you can own.
Sarang is a confident man full of passion of doing great things. His desire to work
to solve some big problem which people face, brings him in challenging position and
where he clearly defines the purpose of
his life. I wish him succeeding in his life one day by contributing to society
significantly.
Born to win..
Sarang
was born on 2nd Oct, thus coincidently
shared his birthday with great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi the 'father of
the nation'(India) as well Lal Bahdur Shastri our earlier prime minister who
was a great leader. Incidentally the day Sarang was born was also the most
auspicious 'Dusshera' festival hence there was double happiness in our family
due to this coincidence, we were truly blessed! My father Dr. Ram Krishna
Paramhans did Dusshera Puja first at home and then celebrated this occasion
with family. Sarang always has been the most ideal, very sincere in his studies
and most affectionate to everyone around him.
Time has grown fast studying at different cities and moving up levels in life Sarang
passed his engineering degree in Computer Science from MIT, Manipal and taking
up campus placement with Aditi Technology at Bangalore his career was full of
ups & down, achievements and laurels. While working for Aditi technology he
ventured out and took sabbatical to start new project on developing a mobile
enabled IT process to help patients find best doctors around & fix
appointment. Though he started this project quite well and was progressing very
well, he dropped this project to take up GMAT for his next academic project of
doing his management course from US around silicon valley which he did
successfully. His upbringing in many Indian cities like Lucknow, Pune,
Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Manipur and Bangalore came very useful which is
helping him thinking Globally.
Time Spend at LA
It was
great time with family at Los Angeles (LA) with our children, my daughter
"Shagun" reached LA from London
while we travelled from Delhi to reach LA on 9th June considering 10th
Jun was his convocation. Sarang was staying in a rented apartment along with
his two other colleagues and every one's family reached there to celebrate this
occasion - it was like a large family of 10-12 people staying together. One can
imagine fun and involvement, cooking together, eating together and sharing, all
were some very unique experience of this Los Angeles visit.
Los
Angeles county with population of over 10 Mn is the largest county in USA. One
can see most rich & famous people around LA in Hollywood. We visited
Hollywood city for a day, some of the TOP studios like 21st Century Fox,
Paramount pictures, Sony etc have their production base in Hollywood , all
these were happy moments as we had only seen them in pictures and now seeing around
us. These studios, film shootings sites and other infrastructure were really
great experiences and opportunity. We
also took few frames with HOLLYWOOD sign
see commonly.
Near Hollywood you can also visit "Griffith Observatory" sitting on South facing slop of Mount
Hollywood in Los Angeles Griffith park. It command view of the Los Angeles
Basin, including downtown Los Angeles - observatory is the most popular
tourists attraction with excellent view to Hollywood Sign an extensive array of
space and science - related displays.
Since the observatory's opening in 1935, admission has been free, in
accordance with the benefactor's will, after whom the observatory is named –
Colonel Griffith.
Many large academic institutions including UCLA where Sarang did his MBA were worth visiting palaces. These are some big institutes both in quality and number of student those study over there. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a public research university in the Westwood district of Los Angeles, California, United States. It became the Southern Branch of the University of California in 1919, making it the second-oldest undergraduate campus of the ten-campus system after the original University of California campus in Berkeley (1873).
Another
most interesting place that we thoroughly enjoyed was the Beverly Hills, is a city in California's Los Angeles County.
Home to many Hollywood stars, it features the upscale shopping street of Rodeo
Drive. The expansive Beverly Gardens Park has fountains and rose gardens, plus
an illuminated Beverly Hills sign. Besides Malibu and Santa Monica piers were
other very beautiful places that we visited. Home of
many a film or television star, lies west of it moving around there always
builds some sense of larger purpose. You really find lot of famous name plates,
big names those you admire and lot many emerging business trends. 
Meeting
with some Krishna devotees at Rodeo
Drive were some of the most happy moments at LA, specially chanting Hare
Krishna and dancing at Rodeo Drive streets made us feel that we were their with
the sprit of India and were thoroughly enjoying.
We were very happy to find Hindu Temple near Malibu in
the Santa Monica Mountains. It was a pleasant long drive to reach with
beautiful mountain sites on both side of roads. One will truly relaxed once
being there and feeling of great accomplishment. God Venkateswara temple was
built in 1981 in South Indian style and one of the famous temple in California.
After spending considerable time with family and few photographs we returned
back to LA, and felt very blissful day.
This was an eventful & blissful journey that culminated
in making a dream come true though opening up new challenges and desires to
fulfil in life.
