I have a dream...

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream


I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

'The' snowstorm...

Im at loss of words to describe it.....
'AWESOME' would be an understatement.....:):)

The blues.....

I remember the last get together with Pranati and Snita, back in pune, few days before we were to leave for MS….dat day Pranati had said something, jyacha importance I got to know in these few days….she had said dat while doing MS svatala motivated thevna is the most important thing(keeping urself motivated enuf is the most important thing)…..so very true this is…..I realized this when nothing around me was working the way I would have liked it to work…..nothing seemed right; everything, I felt was going down in dumps…my work, my rapport with people, my self confidence…everything….i didn’t feel like doing any work, didn’t feel like talking to my friends or family…i had come to believe that I was the most unfortunate person in the whole world…..had even questioned my decision of coming here and doing MS….felt as if I should have joined IBM after BE, had lived a comparatively normal life…as compared to the craziness out here (which incidently I do enjoy when im not feeling blue)……those few weeks of blue state of mind in fact taught me a great deal about dealing with things…and the most important is that, if u have to survive, no matter how bad things are for u, no matter how much the circumstances are against you, you need to keep yourself self motivated…..these things should not bog one down……I have learnt that in the face of problems, I need to ‘face’ them, talk them out….instead of keeping them to myself……
Chala pure zhali philosophy....ata im back to my crazy 'non-blue' state of mind...

Before wrapping up....

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.


wah wah!!

The first snow....

Well its bin almost a month since its bin snowing out here...but then every time it snows I always feel that im seeing it snow for the first time(not that i was walking around blind folded the previous time...). Ithe alyapasun, one American trait i follow, n that is to check the forecast the first thing i get up in the morning(or afternoon/or night...wotever)...coming back to the point, my day really kickstarts if i see "snow flurries expected"/"slight chance of snow" announcement......which means that 90% of the times it'd be snowing....pretty accurate this forecast thingy is out here!! So yes, as i was saying, snow really excites me...turns me on, one can add innocently;)...I love the way everything turns a very high quality, pure white when it snows.....simply love to walk through the snow(though its quite a pain for the muscles), love the crunchy noise the snow boots make against the thick layer n simply relish the taste of snow...believe me iv actually eaten fresh snow off railings (makes me sounds crazy...but im not:D)....it tastes nice and mildly sweet and yea, it "melts in the mouth"...:DThe RPI campus looks even more beautiful when its all white.....especially, the snow covered lawns, bare trees, deserted and beautifully and brightly lit (God only knows how much money is spent on the unecessary 'roshnai') campus....no words to describe itMe india madhe astanahi snow pahila hota, when i had gone for the Manali trek, n i love to do maaz about this fact:)...but had never seen the snow 'fall' before.....it looks so fairylandish believe me!!...and one fascinating new thing i learnt about the flurries is that the star shape which they mostly show in cartoons n kids'- books while depicting snow, is actually how a snow flurry looks when observed closely...me try suddha kela mazhya Chocolate(dats my cell between;) chya cam var capture karayla to flurry cha shape....ok sorts ala pic! ...(sorry non-marathi people, for frequent outbursts in marathi!!!)I always find some reason to go out and take a walk when it is actually snowing.....(once i remember i attended an early morning 10 am lecture just because it was snowing outside and i wanted to walk in the snow)...snow and water still (i meant waterfalls, beaches, water sports) remain the only 2 things that makes the child in me come alive and kicking:)...Hope this wasnt true, but yes, snow will always be my first love....

Parat Random....

I had only heard my labmates sing songs of praise for him..my advisor, prof Saulnier that is....but yesterday i did myself join his fan club:)....more praise for him to fill this space in the days to come....
