The long hiatus - 2

The graduation

I did finally graduate. I believe in the idiom " Be differnt or be damed" ... and different I was, fortunately or unfortunately I was almost at the back of the line so I didn't hold up too many people. It was walk to remember, with me walking like a lion er forget the lion part, I did walk slowly and gracefully (my word for a limp). Inspite of my slowness to get a better picture of myself taken, the official photographer managed to screw it all up. I did sorely miss my family (not so easy to travel half way across the world) and old friends at my graduation. But I didn't lack good support from my new friends at FSU.

The Graduation was followed by a lunch at 'Ming tree' a Chinese place, sponsored by my very good friend Koshy annan (annan standing for elder brother in Tamil). Had a surprise cake from Swapna brought to me by Akhilesh & co (Sandeep).

Then there was the pool party for the whole Junta, well atleast they got to get into the pool ( I had the satisfaction of watching my friends have fun). I guess I couldn't have asked for a better graduation (Well maybe a few more of my friends and family could have showed up). So for those who missed I got it all on DVD ..........

More of the long hiatus to follow

Till laters

The long hiatus

Hi there people. I guess most people are wondering that I have vanished from the face of the earth. Loads ofthings have happened in the last 20 or so days. I managed to sprain my ankle, graduate from college and move to california, not to mention have a meeting with charlie. For those who don't know Charlie; he is the latest Category 4 hurricane to hit Florida that created more than 11 Billion dollar worth of damage.

First the the leg sprain story ...

I have successfully sprained my ankle for the first time ... playing (of all things) raquetball. This helped create a number of firsts form me in the US. First time in a wheel chair ( ever). first time in a ER, first time taking my X rays ... Well the timing was impecable, just 4 days before I graduted, but thanks to American ingunity, I was able to limp across without the use of crutches. Hurray for the walking cast.

There is more to follow ....

Rest in next
