OK - so got my next big project at work - FX-SS, wonder how tough its going to be, UIs can be a beast if not anything else but I look forward to the challenge. Multiple managers on this one - so that should be a challenge too. Hope we can finish this one off before we start the next. All depends on delivering this one well.

Finally understood put-call parity and how it relates to synthetic forwards vs true forward rates. Quite interesting ..

Had a wonderful time during my 3 day vacation at Kamshet. The simple pleasure of lieing down under a tree and looking through the leaves - a million shades of green, cobwebs sparkling in the sun, insects scurrying about and not a worry in my head - I really enjoyed it. The para gliding was fun too - had my first maiden flight - was airborne for about 5 mins. Funny did not feel any fear jumping off the hill. The scary part is I may have become so desensitized that I no longer feel fear ? Cant be .. must be something else.

Anyway I've promised myself to be happy - lets see how it works out.
