Summer 2007

And so I finally arrived in NAMMA BENGALURU..... was waiting eagerly to give a surprise to my parents... arrived at the airport at 1.30 am sharp... n there they were... all my friends.... kiru, kashyap, bussa, kiran, raju, chetan, kumar, ashwin, jaggu... n my BRO... felt awesome... no one can explain the feeling when u land in ur home town for the 1st time.. its THE EXPERIENCE.... that is all i can say abt it.. And I did surpise every1 at home.... i had this SAI BABA type hair style... my god.. every1 asked me to have a hair cut and yes i did... the first thing i did in the morning i got my hair cut..

MY HAIR B4 THE HAIR CUT (Was taken by VIJAY DIXIT in Nedderman Hall):




then it went on... met my friends at the usual place BDA.. then went and met some more friends at Brigade Road... every moment was awesome.... spent quite sometime with my family (meaning not too much... hehe)... when u go to india, 25 days are like nothing.... it gets over in a flash... everyone agrees to this... xcept for some ppl who havent xperienced it... hehe...

One thing every1 said abt me was.... i had become more silent.... mayb that was rite.... i was just getting used to being normal ... but fuckin 25 days werent enuff.... 25 days being there was fun.... real fun... had been to goa... me, kiru, kashyap, kumar, moms, bussa and benne... it was real fun...

Kiran had got MBA admit in WSU and he had thrown an awesome party at La Meridian... rich man huh??? that party was too good... I had a chance to meet most ppl there...

WE GUYS AT THE PARTY..



He had planned to come to Arlington first and then fly to Dayton, IOWA or
is it OHIO.... hehe.. i would like to mention something here.... we still tease kiran for the way he used to speak when he came here for the first time... he had called the president of indian stud association at WSU, she was greeting him with the usual stuff.. how u and all that.... this guy on the other hand doesnt greet her or speak anything to her... just goes on with .... "Hi... i am Kiran... I had emailed u abt my arrival at Dayton.. When will u pick me up..." wht sort of a
first time talk was that.... that moment was hilarious and even to this day v tease him for that..

The 1st time kiran came here he stayed with us for 2 to 3 days... and he liked the place and mostly the ppl at Arlington... vishal mahesh sharath saptu and all others.... thats one of the reasons he felt home sick when he went to Dayton.... well thats also one of the reasons why he is too egoistic abt wht he thinks... things like ... he has undergone the pain of home sickness and other stuff (roomies probs blah blah..) like no one has undergone such things be4... lemme not go into too much details abt it or else kiran's non stop blabbering ll start.. LOL... m writing this bcos this happened in summer of 07 .. one reason andthat is one reason and the other thing is bcos it's one of the imp things that happened during my school life at UTA.... every1 has problems.. every1 has their negative points... every1 has weaknesses.... and all that shit... but some ppl
think they are the only ones with problems... they r the only ones on earth who work hard and all that fuckin shit... yes... ppl can understand wht i m writing here.. and i dnt mind ppl calling me a mean-minded, cold-hearted, selfish, arrogant, egoistic fucked up asshole after reading my blogs... after all... its my blog... its left to the readers to read it... whether they like it or not... its my thoughts and I make the RULES!!

its not just my thoughts about others i ll b writing.... i ll b writing things abt me too... somethings which every1 know.. somethings which only some ppl know... and some things which only I know... but obviously since this is a public blogspace... i cant go into detail.. also cannot ruin other's ppls privacy.... ll b as concise and to the point too.. mayb after a few years when i or someone else reads it ... it mayb fun or whatever... but its THE FACT...

getting back to Summer of 07... everything went on well... coursework and all things... but partying was very less... adi had gone to india for the 2nd time in 2 semesters... rich man huh??!!? vishal had got GRA... due to his persistent hard work on his research stuff (believe me he worked HARD... but ONLY on his research stuff... LOL)....

Sharath and me had started to apply for Fall internships.... Bito's work was going on well too...
August came and that was the end of the semester.

One thing i want to mention here is my Coursework... i had takne 2 courses... networks 2 and algos... i luved networks studied only that and was the TOPPER.... (4 ppl in the class.. haha.. ) but beleive me... the prof was awesome and that made the course more entertaining.... and interesting.... I neglected Algos got royally screwed in that and ended up with a "C" grade..... i dnt regret abt this.. so its fine.. could ve easily made a B if i worked a lil harder ... and mayb studied with Dr.Dixit and his troop....

After Summer 07, sometime in the 2nd week of August we guys had been to Austin for a 1 day trip.. Rahul was done with his internship and so v had gone there for a weekend and I stayed at my uncle's place while Vishal, Pradeep and other njoyeds... but the return trip in Rahul's car with Rahul was amazing... we drove from Austin to Arlington in 2 hrs and 20 odd minutes... that was a record i think... hehe..

We Guys at Austin (Marina Beach)...


Rahul was his usual rocking self after coming bck...

So all these things means until 1 year of my graduate study all i did was go to austin to spend time with family, party hard... had been to india once... and had not seen any other part of
the US ( i guess there r very few ppl who are as boring as me and not go watch the beautiful places in the US in their first year here).

And that was the end of Summer of 2007.... Fall 07 was a mixture of boredom and freedom and njoyment time.... that's the next blog.... Fall 07 is when all the things got right and it was the time when all things got wrong too... for all the fuckin right and wrong reasons.. :)
