What am I to do?

I was listening to Norah Jones and I felt this was an apt song for me too. I sometimes wonder we human beings are always striving towards that unreachable star. We always seem to be on the hope for something better. I wonder if it's really stupid of me to travel all the way to another part of the globe, to spend so much of money in pursuit of what? One way it's great, you get to see another part of the world, learn about their culture, learn about your own culture and get to interact with some new professors. Why is it that people who come here never wanna go? I guess it's the comfort i.e materialistic. You need to make a lot more money to get this in India but there is family and of course familiarity.

Off to Niagara

I had written this long post yesterday because the weather has been so depressing but today I am back to being cheerful. I am off to niagara today. Raj Reddy has organized a trip for us students.
