its me blabbering

the weather for the past couple of days has been the best ever in AA

summer is almost over n school begins next week

u cannot take any relationship for granted

it is difficult when someone u care for suddenly says its not necessary to understand everything thts going on.

its worse when u r made to feel tht a friendship is governed only by ur acts!!!

Restlessness is the biggest enemy of the state of mind

I had a nice bonus weekend in UIUC

the labor day weekend is round the corner n many have elaborate plans... i dont have many!!!

I have missed home like never before... for reasons I dont understand

its been the year of engagements n marraiges...all most all my friends are ready to tie the knot. thts prob what happens when u r 25.

it sucks the most when u know what you want n just cant get it right now.( this seemslike an almost 'all time' case)

enough of non-sense. this post has been my most non-specific n useless one ever.

i promise to do better from now on

Its exactly a year today since I left home for Ann Arbor!!!

Happy Independence Day

58 years and it already feels like so long ago...

Has the country gotten over the Colonial raj torture so easily?

or has it simply moved on for good?

Anyway Happy Indepedence Day India

Photos

I suddenly had too many photos from this trip to put on my blog..so i finally decided to get a flickr account and put up a link to all my pictures... find it on the bottom left hand corner of my blog.

As an architect by profession n like some people say most of my pictures are 'peopleless'...of structures n places, I have also put up a few pictures of people.

1.NYC

So New York is to the USA what Mumbai is to India... minus a few things and plus a many more things.

the last two days have been extremely busy!!! not with work but in NYC!!! the city is huge; fast; dirty; crowded; dazzling; selfish; difficult; addictive;...n so much more!!! It did amaze me... but not quite.

I want to write to so much more but I am exhausted from a really long long day of train n ferry rides,lots n lots of walking...n greattt places visited!!!

I am sure my next few blogs to come will be pictures of NYC...so I shall leave this for later n just go to sleep after a realllyy tiring yet funfilled day!!!

a side note...bombay has almost everything tht new york offers... but bombay as a city does not know how to sell itself.its as selfish as new york is but we just havent gone all the way to shout out TIMES SQUARE

I do like new york. n i feel one cannot compare NYC n Chicago...more on this later too. me dozing off!!!

A bonus day in Chicago- dated 8th Aug 05

Us and the skyline reflecting in the bean-designed by Anish Kapoor at the millenium park, Chicago



On magnificent mile...

I feel sad!!!

the hoarding in the background says...'time for buying a new home?'
... as though they anticipated the fate of mumbai in times to come... the picture surely indicates buying new cars for the owners of these submerged vehicles!!!

Sketch-Up

My past couple of blogs have been some of my favorite pictures... n this one surely fits into the list!!!

Its one of those sketch-up images of RIA and I taken at the food mall on the mumbai-pune expressway!!!
