This week

This week has been quite a week. We went out as part of our "Explore Baltimore " program. Well Monday was a fed holiday.. so all the more reason to sleep. Woke up late in the afternoon. Was playing around with the new A610 Canon gifted by my bro. Havent played much with it yet. Rest of monday was spent in chatting and grading.Slept around 6 am tuesdya morning. and woke up at 1 in the evening. not much of activity this day too.. went to insti hoping to catch up on some work.. Spent some time cleaning up my school comp. had loads of throw aways. Well that done.. sat down for some work.. THats when Venki came in. He had gone to Rockville.. Well i might have forgot to mention our wash trip.. IT was amazing.. more on it with pics at a later post.. Spent time talkin to him. Took the 6 shuttle and came back home. Mahesh and PJ came over for dinner. After dinner it was the innaugral session of the Rajini Fans @ UMBC... and what better way than to start it off with Padayappa.. Rajini in Padayappa was dam good. God level.. After the movie at Mahesh place, we came back home and were discussing abt the movie and thalai in general.One of the most useful discussions we have had in a long time.. Crashed and woke up at 12 in the afternoon. At 3 we decide we are going to white marsh mall.Being the speedies that we are, we miss the 430 bus and take the 510 one. Man.. baltimore is scary at nights.. Reached White marsh at 630.. went around shopping for some CDs in staples. Good thing was Barnes and Nobles had a " book for a buck " sale. Got 2 arbit books... one on reiki.. other one.. i dont even remember.. thursday and friday have been quite eventless till now.. lets see what is in store for the new year..

A semester that whizzed apast

In less than 4 months my first semester in this country is over. I still remember the night at the Chennai Airport when i was to board a plane that would take me 8000 miles across the Atlantic, to a place, many have come and will come with the hope of reaping it big. Bidding a bye to my parents whom i have never missed for more than a month in my entire life, to my friends who had come a long way and stayed put for a hectic upcoming day..those are times i can never forget. You might call it nostalgia or whatever fancy adjective you wish to term it.. but one thing is for sure.. Anybody and everybody has the same feelings buried in their heart.. what differs is how much of other things seem to have piled up on top of those. Coming to the present.. The last 2 weeks have been a pretty hectic... projects, submissions, final exams and so on and thats when the nostalgia hit me and hit me hard. When the final exam got over, it hit me harder. Got reminded of those wonderful days as a BE Student at AU.. How we would dash out the evening of the final end sems to the beach and laze around till late night.. the innumerable hours of sleep we all cherished.. For some reason, i feel like i could have gone more times to the bessi beach.I seem to be missing it right now.. How many times me and Venki would have roamed around T.Nagar figuring out the best eat out.. Murugan's.. Mansukh.. Archana and quite a few names i dont remember. Well those were times.. times i can never forget.. Right now.. i am stuck in limbo. In a place where u just cant get those pleasures.. those pleasure however small.. yet invaluable.

This sem has been pretty scary for me.. Slacked a lot in the beginnign.. Only the results can tell...

Till then.... adieu
