THANKS TO YAHOO

Thanks to the Yahoo and the webcam technology... I could join my sister's b'day party and join the fun with my family members via web-cam and voice chat on yesterday. I spoke to my parents, grandparents, pini, babaye, my brother and my sisters. My bro (Pranavesh) and my little sis (Sindhu) were feeling very happy on speaking with me after a long time. It was nice to watch my sis (Veena) cutting the cake and celebrating the moments.

FAMILY

Do you know what Family means?
I just got an email from my friend (Santosh), in which he has defined the phrase as

FAMILY= FATHER AND MOTHER, I LOVE YOU
Thats interesting...

FOREVER - Dont use it

"FOREVER" is a funny term. Nothing is in our hands to retain the state forever. So, its always better to replace that phrase with "INDEFINITELY".

BE YOURSELF - The only way to enjoy LIFE

Least bother about what others think of you... Be yourself ! This is one of the most impressive features of American culture. On following this principle, we will soon experience the total freedom to enjoy life (but ofcourse, adhered to the society manners & rules). This is in contrast to the society-consious Indian way of living. Some good from here, and some good from there... make up the perfect life-style!

GREAT FUN ~

Yesterday, I had great fun celebrating the festival with friends, but sad on being away from my parents. Anyway, I called up my parents, grand parents, uncle, aunt and my cousins in India and wished them a fabulous festive time. I started the day by having my breakfast consisting of 1/2 dozen sweets and savories offered by the 'Internation Student Services' office in UTD.

I spent the rest of my time in the computer lab until 6:00 in the evening and then, my friends and I went to the nearby shopping area. It was here that we had a remarkable time with jokes and laughter for the next few hrs. It was 10:00 pm when we backed to our appartment and had dinner. We soon left to the open-floor dance event organized at the PUB in my university. It was nice fun .... When the event was over, we all went to the lab as usual. We had to quit the lab at 2:00 am, but we had a laughter-filled chat for 1 more hour in the open-air near the parking lot of UTD. I finally had my sleep at 4:00 in the morning. It was a nice experience...

HAPPY DIWALI ...

Wish all of you a very happy diwali. Enjoy this 'Festival of lights' with lots of fun and happiness...~

WHAT I LEARNT IS ...

What I learnt in this 2 months of stay in US:

Lesson 1: Observe everything happening around you.
Lesson 2: Be interactive and clear even the silly doubts you have. Its better to clear the doubts rather assuming and doing things wrong.
Lesson 3: Be challenging and take every work you get to perfection.
Lesson 4: Be confident in what you have done.
Lesson 5: Workhard and always finish you work in Time.

Is she an ....

INTERNET woman: Woman of difficult access.

WINDOWS woman: Everyone knows that she can't do a thing right, but no one can live without her.

EXCEL woman: They say she can do a lot of things but you mostly use her for your four basic needs.

SCREENSAVER woman: She is not worth for anything, but at least she is fun!

RAM woman: She forgets everything you say when you disconnect her.

HARD-DISK woman: She remembers everything, FOREVER.

BUSY IN FREE TIME !

Hmmm! With all my mid-term exams getting over and just 1 project to be completed, the comming week is expected to be more relaxed and lightly loaded. This lets me to put off the academic pressure for a while. But, I may start working on some programming languages to make myself time-packed. Getting busy in a given free time is always a pleasure to me, but the vice-versa is a pain in the neck. . .

THE COOLEST ONE

Its a very cold day today.... infact the coolest of all days during my stay in US. My first step out of my home today was in the morning at 9:00 am for jogging. It was a chill weather and the cool breeze over me made things worse. My hands started trembling in cold and i started rushing to the building as quick as possible. The same weather persisted ... forcing me to use a jacket the whole day~

2 OVER AND 1 TO GO...

Two of my mid-term exams have got over till date.... and 1 more to go! The exam held today was pretty cool. Its an open book test infact... But, the answers obviously are not in the book ~ Time is going interesting...

PICNIC TO FOSSIL RIM

I had a great time today with Rajesh anna's family at Fossil Rim. Its an Animal Safari located far away from the city (nearly 1 and 1/2 hr travel from my univ). The animals were left free to move in a forest-like environment and we could get into the safari in our own wagon. There were no lions and tigers ofcourse~ We fed the animals and lots of photos were taken.... A nice fun at the end. Thanks to anna...

NOTHING WORKED OUT TODAY...

Hmmmm ! At the end of the day, I just realized that nothing was working fine... Nothing worked my way today... Hope there is something wonderful awaiting for me tommorow....
