Carnegie

At CMU.

The people here are so brilliant it's blinding. Either that or they are super dooper hard working, which roughly translates to awesome research.

Being intimidated and inspired are the two modes I switch between here.Besides missing Nagpur, which the recent flood of convocation photographs did not help.

The amount of work is staggering. Need discipline and need to prioritize. Need to grow up.

Super excited about the prospect of the vacation. My ray of hope, my green light in the green shade.

Where do you fit in?

Short post

I feel homesick. The person I long for isn't here.

P.S.Ok, fine. That was really short. To the point of, why did I write it again? But I just wanted to say it. Put it out there in the universe.

Cannot believe first post of the year comes in March.

After many weeks of nail biting and frantic, paranoid mail checking, I got the following admits and rejects :

ASU admit :)
CMU + PennState on the same day :)

The same frickking day. The day we were returning from Bombay after the most brilliant trip ever. The day I went to Kuber's house and discovered why he is such a cute person. The day i dozed off on a bombay local train. alone :| The day of Marine Drive and mint ice-cream sandwiches. Of a funky but ugly spray painted train. The day of Kyani's.

Goa was, though unexpected, brilliant.

Time for another list. Read and burn.

1. Arambol beach.
2. Chocolate pancakes. Banana Pancakes.
3. Trek down Chapora fort.
4. A new friend.
5. Rock pools with mudskippers.
6. Black sand :)
7. Breezers on Baga.
8. Sleep deprivation :)

Post Goa depression is a real phenomenon. We need a cure.
