Siva Ramamoorthy writes “My son Siddharth was born Dec. 16, 2001. I guess our few months of sleepless nights are over and he is doing quite well. Siddharth was the childhood name of Budha and it means ‘accomplished.’ Second, I have taken a new exciting assignment with Nortel Networks in Asia, managing its wireless solutions business in India. After working for a few months on this from Dallas, we found the 24-hour-travel and jet lag quite unmanageable. We have now relocated to New Delhi, India.”
