A Change is Needed

Just heartbreaking. Such disgrace, ignorance, pain, suffering, and shattering. The worst has happened, but now hopefully it will change a nation - and the mentality of people - for the better.

Fight for change. Fight for respect. Fight fo r equality. Fight for justice. Stand up for all that you believe. I hope and wish to see an equal world, with more understanding human beings.

She fought for her life, but lost. We should fight for justice and change, in her bravery, courage, and willpower to live beyond all of this, in spirit, to invoke change in India.
And all over the world. Global awareness and change is needed.

Obama wins a second term as U.S. president

A sharply divided America awarded President Barack Obama a second term Tuesday, choosing him over Republican Mitt Romney to lead the repair of an economy that by far remains the country’s biggest concern, the Washington Post projects.
The president was poised to narrowly win several tight races in a handful of battleground states. It was the culmination of a staggeringly expensive, extremely close and sometimes bitter contest far removed from Obama’s 2008 message of hope and change.
Democrats also held onto their majority in the Senate, picking up two seats in early returns with the possibility of a third.
In early results, Obama won his home state of Illinois as well as Massachusetts, where Romney was governor and the place he still calls home. Maryland and the District of Columbia were put in Obama’s column as soon as polls there closed.
After more than $2 billion in campaign spending, unprecedented hours of television ads and a record number of voters who cast their ballots before Tuesday, Election Day 2012 was told in timeless tableaus of lines outside schools, volunteers waving signs and Americans emerging with “I Voted” stickers attached to their jackets.

Vote

I voted!!! GO OBAMA!!!! :-)

Presidency 2012 vote woooo!!!!!!

Hurricane Sandy

http://news.yahoo.com/sandy-storm-surge-pose-worst-case-scenario-201317558.html

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/time-lapse-views-hurricane-sandy-space-shows-enormity-153449271.html

Time-lapse images from high above Earth show Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the East Coast, highlighting the storm's enormous size.

NASA's Earth Observatory has released time-lapse animation of the powerful hurricane from a satellite 22,300 miles above ground. The images reveal details of Sandy's motion and eye wall.

Hurricane Sandy was shown approximately 275 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and moving northeast at 14 mph during the time of the photographs. NASA notes that the structures of the clouds are highlighted by the changing angles of the sun.

The animation was created from photos taken every minute from 7:15 a.m. to 6:26 p.m. ET on Sunday. More images can be viewed at the Earth Observatory site.

The immense storm has prompted emergency evacuations, closed offices and delayed flights along the East Coast.

Anisha Bhagat, MBA

New dream job!

I wanted to share the amazingly great news that I got a new job, in my field of healthcare management - my first job as a manager - at the number one ranked medical center in the country.

I am an Administrative Manager at Columbia University Medical Center :-) It has been about three weeks now, and I continue to learn so much on a daily basis, while working hard in my department, and staying very busy :-) It has been a long road and a lot of hard work, both with my MBA, and job applications, to finally reach this stage, which is like a dream come true for me :-)

I am working with incredible people and knowledgeable staff at one of the top medical institutions in the country. A place where lives are changed on a daily basis. I am continuing my passion for health care and helping others. A position, company and opportunity that really supports and ties in with my MBA in Health Services Management, and takes my job to a new level, and career to new heights. I am thankful and humbled.

:-)

Celebrating 4 years with the love of my life :-)

No fear. New job!

Sometimes we let fear get the better of us, but if we don't take risks or chances or incredible opportunities in front of us, then how will we move forward, do amazing things, live a great life and help change the world. I received an incredible job opportunity, in line with my MBA, at one of the top medical institution's in the country. I was scared to resign at my current job, nervous at the reaction, but I did it, and I am so glad I did, because I have to move forward, take risks and embrace new opportunities. Because I want to grow in my field of health care management, help others, promote positive change, and that will contribute to my part of helping to change the world.

4 years in NYC!!!!

Happy NYC Anniversary to me! :-) 4 years ago, I got on a plane at night with a suitcase and duffel bag, and woke up in NYC, to follow my biggest dream and love for this city :-) I slept on a couch in a kitchen (thank you Sonya Petkova!!!!) and worked my way forward from there. :-) Here I am today, in the greatest city in the world, finishing my MBA in 4 weeks and 4 days, working in my field of healthcare and helping others every single day, happily in love with my best friend and soulmate, enjoying life, working and playing hard, with amazing friends and family, and truly living my dream! I only wish the same for everyone and their dreams! :-) They do come true <3
