Life in Dec1 - Feb 5; The great India trip and back.

Its been a long time since i have blogged. Its been longer since i added to my life in series. But anyways, this post will act as an ice breaker. A short summary of main ideas.

Its good to start backwards this time.

1. Started my full time job yesterday. Not very good time in industry but still the buzzword around is 'Never let a crisis go to waste'. And thus, exciting times ahead!

2. Had a great flight from india. KLM proved its worth as i watched 4 back to back movies. Body of lies (so-so), Vicky Cristina Barcelons (Allen flick, decent, different), Burn After Reading(Coen brothers, decent but typical Coen script).

3. Went to Amritsar. Visited Wagah border, Jallianwala bagh and Golden temple with Nikhil Dua, Nikhil Kumar and Amit Manchanda. Good trip. The live gurbani played at Golden temple was amazing!

4. Left to India on Dec 15. Amazing trip, reminder of the roots :). 45 day trip. Went to Cochin for a week. On the forward journey, i visited Juhu beach and on the return trip, I visited besant beach in Chennai. Met Varun as well. Ate lots of food and different types of food. Watched many hindi movies, some brilliant, some good and rest were, well dont ask. More posts will be coming soon.

5. Graduated. Got my masters. Gatech has a strange custom of having convocation immediately after exams. Attended.

6. End sems of last semester. Night outs. Find: Monster Coffee + energy drink. I never thought that a drink can help me to stay awake but this one did. I literally was able to stay awake after taking one. Cognition and culture was a very interesting course. Studying AOS was a unique experience.
