Past few months
Sunday, April 15, 2007
NYU has been fun! NYC rocks! Staying in Jersey City until I can afford the rent in the city doesn't. Roomies are awesome! So I consider the rent saved to let me live and enjoy a better time in NYC. Soooo many people from my past here, its fun meeting them and going out and I yet have soooo many people I yet haven't met! Crazy city! I LOVE my Stern classes! Data mining and Trading Systems. Just had breakfast on Friday with my Trading prof at Starbucks. He's sooo cool and approachable. I wanna do a PhD under him. But don't think I can afford it currently. Maybe after a couple of years. Hate my maths finance class. Big mistake. Know what to stay away from in the future.
Gadget crazy me now uses a Macbook 13" Core 2 duo with 2 GB RAM and super drive, awesome deal at NYU. NYU Rocks! But I haven't had the time or inclination to get back to designing. Mac's are known for good design machines, but sometime soon..I got back to blogging, one step at a time dear. Oncampus work requires web development, graphic design, pdf creation..that's enough for me to last for a couple of months! Been blessed with good employers, touch wood.
Miss the good times in Hyderabad. Before all the shit between roomie and I happened. But some people don't change or realise is the news I get from there now. Things seem to be going downhill only. I guess the move happened at the best possible time. And I got an awesome friend in Satya who is the craziest most fun person ever! I wanna go on her bike for a mela and eat papad and see her freak out on the rides!! Crazy female!! The Phase 2 of the project I was on hasn't yet started. Kunal and I would do timepass only. Really looking forward to visiting Hyd and meeting the people there and the places I'd love. And forgetting about all the incidents with friends and random Hyderabadis.
Mom was here during Spring break. We went for a Caribbean cruise, on an Italian liner, awesome fun! On the way back due to a bad flight situation due to the snow storms we took a 34 hour Greyhound bus ride back. Passed thorugh a lot fo states but were atleast back home before the earliest flight out could ahve got us. Baggage came on flight! Stupid Continental! American's are dumb, it's so hard to get things done properly here.
Random contemplation! hmm..like the old times! I guess it's more to update people. When I'm done updating will start with randomistic entries.
Ciao!!

Yo! I'm back! This blog has been officially reopened! woohoo!
Saturday, April 14, 2007
From being one of the first few Indian bloggers to becoming non-existent on the scene, the time has come to get back, mainly to keep friends and family updated about my current happenings as well as to chronicle the events in my life in the event that I'd like to reflect back on them someday. Let me take advantage of the rare Saturday night that I'm actually home(2nd or 3rd in 4 months?!) to get back to this wonderful medium!
Let's begin with my blogging/web designing history:
1.) amrita.blogspot.com along with the 2 freewebs.com sites: Seadreamer and Margaritas in the Sky
2.) MysticGal.com
3.) e-lusion.net
Starting in July 2002 ending in 2004 or so. Used blogger and Movable Type. Hoping to get back to my own blogging tool like MT because of the flexibility offered.
A lot has changed since the good ol days. Toooo many people into blogging. Feel like it's lost it's charm. It was unique before, not any more. Don't feel like blogging at times now, but you gotta do what you gotta do!
More about the personal changes in the past few years for all the old time bloggers I'll be sending this crappy link to.
Graduated with a First Class(hahah finally made it to First Class with all the years of not being bothered!) in Information Technology Engineering, worked with General Electric in Hyderabad for 6 months, yes, the land of Nawabs and yummy kababs, and am now at New York University doing my Masters in Information Systems. It's a really cool course, half Computer Science and half Finance. The only course I applied for and the only course I wanted. Am now taking the maximum advantage of my summer holiday and headed for a 45 day Europe solo backpacking trip. This blog is going to be my travel blog throughout the time period and also about all my expensive pre-trip purchases.
More about the past and future coming up!!
