Fill-in
Ahh.. It has been a while.Quite some time actually.Moving to a different place,in fact a different country,away from my family for the first time in my life.It is now like almost two months away from home.
Now I always wanted to make note of this and now that I remember : what the heck was I thinking when I decided to go for MS?Like it is the last thing that I ever thought.I still remember : I thought Ok.let me try and give GRE as it might help as it has a validity of 5 years.and then I thought Ok now that one foot is wet,I gave TOEFL and jumped into it with both my feet.And then the process of application to universities started off and things just went on.Of course landing in utah is no coincidence,I always had that special interest but that is a different story. Finally I get the admit from the university that interests you the most,the one where you feel a pull and I attend the VISA,which was indeed a great experience for some reason.I get the visa and start planning for my travel that very day.The point here is the uncertainty in me.Trust me,I never even dreamt of being here till I got my VISA.And then once you have your flight ticket you are bound to leave and then the real ,i dont know what starts.Shopping,which i really think is no big thing,seeing people off is one great experience.
Thanks to Facebook timeline,by the way I always had such a thing in my mind,no boasting,of course not the exact way,Ok.. way inferior..but I had something like that in my mind.I wanted to really really go back in time and live those moments for real.The family send off party and all my friends seeing me off at my home,about 3-4 hours before my take off.It is something that is like in my heart and will stay forever. Those moments are what I really remember and cheer me up all the time.Photographs are really one awesome invention.My next attack would be a camera and try out all crazy things with it.But let's see I have a lot of time.This is like some sort of a weird movie where you go back in time and come back to the present.That is exactly what is happening.I need to try and blog more often so that I can keep track of what all is happening.Else I , myself might have trouble reading this.
Now,people asked me ,infact I asked myself a lot of times,why MS?I had a vague answer then and I have a better answer now.If there is some sort of takeaway from this post it is that US is an awesome place and doing your Masters or even Bachelors here would be an awesomendary experience.I have seen like a month of being a student and it is something that I always wanted to relish.This is one place you need to seriously consider for higher education.It is not just the place,but the whole package of the professors,teaching,assignments,classrooms,architecture,people around,planning,transport, and any other misc thing ,all add up and make you feel a real thrill.Some of the research,professors here are really inspiring and make me look like a complete idiot which i really dont mind as there is nothing better to expect right now.I am in Salt lake city and I cant comment on what is happening elsewhere but afaiac I am having a really good time.Of course you miss a lot of things,but education and all round development is what you get here and I feel it is worth it.Now ,my answer might change after a year or so.and Am I still planning on coming back to India? I say Yes.Why? That is a different story. Getting funded and earning or yourself is another awesomendary thing to experience.It really gives me this head o toe effect and goosebumps when I think of how far I am from my loved ones and living all alone.waking up on my own,cooking on my own,washing utensils,managing my own earnings,eating out with your own earnings,make an online purchase with your debit card,buy a laptop.. all these are small things but add up and give you a wonderful feeling.You get a sense that you are out here for a purpose and no matter what you ll learn a lot.
You might say you are funded you talk all bullcrap about experience and other crap.The answer would be the same even before I got funded.The reason for this post coming out so late is that I invested all my internet time on assignments,facebook and looking for funding.Funding is a great relief but no one can take away the feel you get here.There is a lot to learn here not just academics but a lot of other stuff and I am loving my time here.I am living in the present and it is refreshing. SO this marks my first post from US,from my XPS.
AweSomenDary huh!! B-)

Tigress on an Express
One upon a time there lived a hostess She took a passenger express
Where she had to address a tigress
Though she was fearless,she was clueless
As she was powerless and the express was noiseless
So it was pointless as she was gunless
But she was not hapless and she made use of her adventurousness
Her shrewdness helped her in making the place lightless
But how did she escape?The details are for you to guess!
If you are aimless then I’ve got no problem with your progress
But if that’s not the case you need to take a recess
By now you might have realized that this is full of absurdness,
So I don’t think you would mind a digress
If you want to Impress a tigress on an express,
Also you need to board the express in the night time or you are hapless and helpless
So the central theme is to always express without any suppress
If you are kindless,joyless and heartless
Then you are lifeless and saltless.
Try not to be obsessed just because this ___ is priceless.

This is not a post !
Well this area is meant for posts,
but i dont want it to be a mere post,
I want it to be more like a toast,
but not like a boast,
me wanting a non boasted toasted post,
ends up it being a roast...

Kavita
--first of all ..the title does not refer to a chick but of course the content has everything to do with it.. ;)
NB: In this post, any resemblance to any alien (Esp from Venus) is purely intentional...
Dont ever waste your life over a chick,
I dont think its really worth it,
'cause you'll definitely have more chicks than your picks,
Life is something like a game ,Chicks may give you fame,
but with great fame comes the responsibility of taking all the blame,
So folks go ahead and have your picks,
U can be sure to have more chicks than your picks ,
'cause they'll always be hen as long there are men,
and as hen lay chicks you are good to make your picks,
Some(all) of the above lines may useless,
but all(some) of them are not totally baseless,
so i say it again,dont end up in vain,
this is the reign you are most likely to gain,
start this from your birth and you ll land up on a planet other than earth.
The above lines were written just to kill time... I m sorry to have killed yours too...
Go ahead and read my post Kavita.. LOL
P K : It would be rude,mean and "chick"ish to interpret chick=woman on planet Earth....Of course the above lines are subject to the writers discretion .... ;) :P

My Crushes Part I
we like somethings when we see them and some things get attached to us as we move on with them..i'd like to post something regarding this..
Sony Ericsson w910i
i never thought i was going to use a mobile phone...in fact it was a dream...in fact even today i feel its not a necessity to me..
But w910i was my first phone ..i bought it in 2008 maybe a week ahead of holi..I was in my first year then....The phone really looks stunning and gorgeous but it was my phone that made it special..
whenever there's a "me" involved we have a probem..I dont want to forget this,in fact i can't stop smiling whenever i remember abt this.The DAMN phone dint wotk aftert i bought it home..Imagine buying such an expensive phone and it doesn't work.that too the very first day...had to take it to the cust care..(maybe i ve been there half a dozen times) and i have to mention the service was damn poor...
After all this I still say it is my first phone and i still love it...I still have the piece with me( thought it doesn't work) it died of a heart attack i guess.. and i m not going to buy another w910i (not because its out of production..will be soon... but i just dont want to re-live the same memories)
and now that my first phone got spoilt i had a sim to insert in some other phone .so i took my dads phone
Nokia 2600 classic
the phone worked great,though it was not rich in features i liked it and it was special to me....again there's a "me" involved and some bugger stole it from my bag while i was giving my externals...
so this is how it goes...nw i m searching for another one :)

Coach
Blogging out of personal experience :-)
Coaching did not really help me..Be it whatever form of coaching ...Right from my tenth standard,my relationship with coaching started...I was sent to the so called IC (Intensive Coaching) batch where i was expected to score really good marks in my board exams..
Result:- It might help me in the long run ,i got what i deserved in my tenth.
After my Tenth examinations,I started going to Matrushri ,the so called premier institute to get into Ramaiah which is in turn the so called premier institute to get into IIT which in turn is the so called premier institute where you are supposed to get the "No More Looking Back" feeling...
Result:- I could nt get into Ramaiah...(of course din get into IIT either ;) ,the story follows...)
Then for two years i took coaching to get into IIT ,travelling quite a bit of distance everyday....And what would the result be?...As already mentioned wasn't successful...
I never took any coaching for EAMCET and managed to get in one of the engineering colleges with my result..
Well ,I have to admit that i took coaching for C language in my holidays and it really was useful...
Apart from that I m afraid I have to say all the coaching classes I have been to,did not help me immediately...I say that because they may help me in the long run....
And last but not the least,I ve been to VISU the so called premier institute for GRE coaching....
Well,the result was the same...no big use...I was made to solve some math problems and quickly marked the answers for the vocab part which the faculty read out loud.."in an Air conditioned room " and this went on for forty five days...end of story..The GRE Coaching was over....
Moral of the story : This is what i learnt...
P.S. Step one is Awesomendary.... :)

- Never ever depend on coaching....Whatever it might be...
- and in the worst case choose a coaching centre which is very close to your place
P.S. Step one is Awesomendary.... :)
