Thanksgiving!

By -
This is one holiday that I have heard so much about but am actually experiencing it only now. He he. There was so much of chaos in college today. You could see everyone packing their bags and getting ready to go home. I will be going with my room mate to phoenix. I hope we'll have a lot of fun. I am really looking forward to it.
My school friends are all meeting up at LA and it's nice to read about them meeting up through people's blogs. It's nice to see they all are so much in touch. I guess I was the only one who kind of drifted apart after I left chennai...hmmmm ....so there is just this bond that we had. It's sad when people loose touch. I hope it ain't the same story with my college friends and hope that never happens. I don't want that to be a distant memory. I had so much fun when I met Anupama Dawson from school at madras. It was great, like we never parted:-)
I have this huge deciding exam that is coming up and I am little (sorry very very nervous) about it. I hate deciding competetive exams. They really push people to the edge. But I have gone through this before and hopefully things should work out this time.
It is snowing today and it's the first time that I have experienced this. It's beautiful but people say it gets depressing. Right now, I like it.
okay gotta rush to atch my shuttle...more later

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!

By -
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
