Time is one thing which keeps flying when you don’t want to. Sitting in this dark room dumped with all my suitcases and hell lot of random stuff it feels like the summer never happened. But unfortunately the increase in my body weight says it did! Spending weeks together at home with a laptop and knowing that there is someone who is going to bring you food before you feel hungry is really awesome. But...

Today when i was showering hurriedly before heading on to the research group meeting, i had a sudden realization out of no where that i had a blog. I also remembered that it has been ages since i updated it. There was a time when i was passionate about writing and i jotted down every interesting thing in this blog but things have changed! I threw off the blogger in me and rushed to catch the bus to the campus. I...

I don’t know why i like cooking up such long titles! More than two months since i scribbled on something here and in an yet another attempt of not letting this blog die here goes the story. Five months as a graduate student and after one semester things haven’t changed much and it’s all like sailing in the same boat. After living in a city like Madras with all the hustle and bustle moving...

Its 4 AM and i am bored and not getting sleep. I thought i could say a hi to my dear abandoned blog! We meet lots of people daily but very few create an impression and among those very few stay as an inspiration. I like meeting people and also network well with groups and over the last couple of years the people whom i have met at Proto, Blogcamp, barcamps, OCC and many such events is innumerable. Over at college...

This part of the world is so crazy about football(American!) and the spirits of the Hokies go up like any thing during a home game. It is a shame being a Hokie and not watching a match live in the stadium(Set aside the fact that i don’t understand the game!). I got a ticket for the match against Western Kentucky which is like a minnow team and VT with four wins in a row didn’t look up WKU as a potential...

Moving out of India in to a foreign land was a big decision which i took after many considerations. With a not so great profile some how i got in to Virginia Tech which is one of the prestigious schools in the United States especially for engineering studies. After spending almost 21 years in Chennai it was a big change and the first fortnight here in Blacksburg has been significant. I am not a frequent flyer...

21st bday and off to Virginia Tech for my masters…..

First of all i repent for skipping the early morning ultimate frisbee games for some petty reasons. During the first few months when i started playing i never missed play and it was really refreshing and more than that it was great fun. In the past few months random work, late night sleep coupled with laziness stopped me from going to the beach/ground and the end result is i suck at the game now. Neglecting...

The past few weeks have been pretty good. It was filled with treks, trips and many other good happenings. The first on the list was the Tada Trek. We kept planning, planning and finally went on the 10th of April. Just four of us(Me, Ganesh , Mahen and Vittal). It was the “-thon” and the movie gang. The gala night outs at Vittal’s place still stay fresh. We were all parting to different places...

I just wanted to write a wrap up of things that happened two weeks before but left off and a week passed. So thought of naming the post “Sunday to Sunday” jotting down the recap of the week’s happenings but one more week passed and the title got extended! Good that the title didn’t extend! The first of the three sundays was jam packed and good fun. Some of us met for the first organizers...
