Dr. Juergensmeyer,
Thank you for your well wishes.
This year so far has truly been a busy year for me. Apart from getting
married, we increased our family size to 4, all inclusive. One is a "Brown
Tiger" (cat) named Phoenix, will turn 2 in May. And the other is a
2 month old Rottweiler puppy named Julius. I am including some pictures
for you. Shahida and I recently bought a small town house in the suburbs
of Germantown, MD.

Titu writes us in the Fall of 2003:
After graduating from UCSB in 1999, I pursued a graduate degree by enrolling in the School of International Service in American University in Washington D.C. While pursuing my M.A. in International Affairs, I ran for student office and was elected as the Vice President and subsequently the President of the Graduate Student Council for the year 2001-2002 (please see www.american.edu/sis/gsc).
While pursuing my MA, I worked part time for an international development consulting firm in Washington DC and concurrently published an article on Sweat Shop allegations on a prominent Television morning show hostess, Kathy Lee Gifford (http://www.american.edu/TED/kathylee.htm).
While running the graduate student body, working part-time and continuing my MA full-time, I decided to enroll into Kogod School of Business’s MBA program in 2002. After being accepted into Kogod’s Business School, I began to actively partake in their extra-curricular activities and participated in Kogod’s regularly scheduled golf tournaments (http://newsweaver.co.uk/kogod/e_article000104709.cfm).
In May 2002, I graduated with my MA in International Affairs and in 2003 I completed and received my MBA with all the privileges and responsibilities thereof. Currently, I am employed as a Business Analyst for a Financial Services firm in Rockville, Maryland and have been employed there for about a year now.
