my post's gone!

I am heartbroken. This is what happens when you try to mimic someone. I tried adding music to my blog and now I have nothing for the texan weekend blog. What a pity!! This makes you think that only paper will last. It has survived 200 years and I am sure will last another 200 years. And just yesteday I was using floppy disks to hold data and today my laptop does not have a reader for it! Gosh. So why am I writing a blog? Dunno I guess i am pure lazy to write in my diary that amma bought me from jaipur:-)
On friday we had a rather later Navrathri celebrations at pittsburgh. It was nice to see a lot of ABCS dressed to their best and I felt ugly as usual (Please read this playing ugly by Jovi in the background as i can't risk attaching it to my blog:-( ). I wanted to stay later but unfortunately my room mate was leaving so i was forced to leave. I later found that there were buses available till 12. Damn! This always happens to me. I keep wondering whether I'll just wilt one day without having any fun!!!
The problem with me is prioritization. In my twenty three years of existence, I still grapple with knowing what's important and what's not. I hate being so uncertain always. Last week, I attended this session by the eclipse user group at CMU. Each person there was brighter than the other. I felt so dumb! Wow it was an amazing feeling. When will I be in a setting where I feel thatI am the best. God please answer that.

Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good;
A shining gloss that vadeth suddenly;
A flower that dies when first it 'gins to bud;
A brittle glass that 's broken presently;
A doubtful good, a gloss, a glass, a flower,
Lost, vaded, broken, dead within an hour.

Who never doubted, never half believed,
Where doubt there truth is--'tis her shadow.

Snow, Skis and pain

By -
I signed up for a SKI trip organized by graduate student wing at school because I felt I must do something different. I mean for a person from the tropics getting to do something in snow is bloody exciting. So we left in the morning at 6:45 AM for seven spring ski resort. Though it hasn't snowed for a week at pitt these people kind of preserve the snow with some chemicals and something else. So we entered seven springs and it was really cold. The person from the tropics was of course well equipped. Three layers of sweaters followed by the BIG FAT UGLY red jacket. But a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do when it's below freezing. So after the initial ski lesson we learnt the basics of sking. Then it was upto us to practics and try stuff. So I skied for about 6 hours yesterday and right now my feet feel like jelly fish and my hand and feet are swollen. The thing about sking is that one needs to learn from your mistake everytime you fall. But me being a slow learner, took

Doors!

I was wondering whether I should blog this or not. But I simply could not resist. So I am:) What a great explanation! Well so last week they had this old books sale at the university and there was this illustrated history of 'The Doors' and I was sure I had to buy it. So I did and spent a pricely sum for a student (Now people tell me it's okay, I don't have to crib). So this week we have vacations and I'm doing all the things one does during a break. So coming back to the or rather magazine which basically traces the group's history. It was so intense. I would definitely recommend the weak hearted to read a couple of pages a day. Those who can't tear themselves from a book will have to exercise more caution. Take breaks and read it because it is heavy. I mean I'm really not someone into Freud and Maharishi Yogi's teachings. I don't know, I thought it's cool to be a rebel. You know the typical fitting into the "intellectual mould".

Charlotte!

By -
I seem to be having a blast for the last couple of weeks and it just seems very surreal! One more weekend to add to the list of great weekends I've been having. This week I was at charlotte for my friend's graduation and boy did we have fun! Yesterday after the graduation ceremony we went to this real upmarket place for dinner. It was called "blue". I mean it was like "The Patio" of charlotte. For lack of better comparisons. Though I still think Patio is a shade better:) They had a jazz quartet which was playing along. I really loved it and they played some really nice songs. IT was nice to hear "killing me softly" after ages. I think there is some raw charm in good old strumming. It is so very mood uplifting. So anyway we had ordered Don perignon (250 $- OH HOLY MOTHER OF GOD). Then there were all sort of great starters and the head steward there obviously loved the sound of his own voice, so he was droning away to glory! The vegeterian food was q
