2006 & 2005
2005 ended in style. Me and Jhajee took the 2 AM Chinatown bus to New York city. The driver seemed to be enthusiastic about his driving, so we were there by 5.30 AM. Totally sleepy, and excited. But outside the bus it was reallllly cold. We wandered around Chinatown for a while, wondering how we [...]
Holi-days
It’s holiday time. But its work time too. Working towards making a concrete demo for the consumer electronics show by tomorrow afternoon, when its due for review by my advisor. Fluid Voice is turning out to be a very interesting concept. On the one hand it’s a way of making an interesting demo, while on [...]
American Beauty is more about life, or its brevity
I have been thinking about American beauty. How fleeting life is. An innocent man just dies, in an instant of confusion? Life is fleeting. but we forget all the time. I wrote about this recently, where I was reflecting on the fact that if we remember that life is short, we get a clearer picture. [...]
Rainy drops
It’s rainy today. Slightly rainy, drops on the window panes. A smoke like fog enveloping everything around here. Warm and cozy in my room. Christmas is over. Festivity all around. Most people away home. Food and lights and Santa Claus. Yesterday was good. Went to Kajal’s birthday party. Then picked up Jhajee from the airport. [...]
Sleepless
The thought of death is such a big motivator. It brings all into clear perspective. I often think about my childhood, when I was a soft guy. Or maybe I don’t think about it, but u know, like you know about it all the time, in your mind. I know I was kinda soft as [...]
Celebrating Christmas
Merry Christmas. It’s officially christmas now. To celebrate, I saw a great movie, Amores Perros today. One of the finest movies, with a number of storylines entertwined, each ending in a logical exciting conclusion. It gets a little bloody at times, but the movie is definitely a masterpiece. I also cooked yummy rajma today, remotely [...]
Holiday Pops
Last night, I braved the Boston chill with Larry, Swati and her friends Sara and Jessica to attend the Holiday Pops concert by the Boston Symphony Orchaestra. Some of the performances were thrilling. The best part was when the audience sang popular christmas carrols with the performers. it was definitely a moment. Many moment moments [...]
The time before time
This is from a discussion I was having with some fellow students a few days ago. What was there in the time before time? Or, what was there before the universe was formed? Was it always there? I find this question really difficult to answer. So I’ll go to sleep today and try to think [...]
Finals over
Finals are over. Gr88 time. Now we have a demo in Las Vegas in January so I’ll spend the next couple of weeks working crazily. I already am, its 4 am and I just finished recompiling linux yet again. So the end of a great first semester at MIT. I have had a great time [...]
The air around me
So many years since that windy day in september when I lied to gaze at you do you still remember? Time is slow though times have flown, so close to you yet so alone. You still fill the air around me, with life and much more, you see.
Happiness a matter of choice
Happiness is a matter of choice, I told Jhajee. At Larry’s birthday party last weekend, I proclaimed it to be my 3rd law. The other 2 laws are: DP’s 1st law: there is no shortage of girls/guys/LGBTs in the world. Dp’s 2nd law: Everyone alive now(meaning human) would be dead in the next 150 years. [...]
Evening walk
Oh Nisha! Have you cast a spell on me? Why have thoughts of you become a part of my daily life, my very existence? Have you edited my shadow, and added yourself to it. Have you changed the source code of my shadow? Do you know how to hack shadows? I laugh at this thought, [...]
