My Experiments

In an attempt to chronicle all the little things that amuse me, teach me, and reinforce what I learn at MIT, I have started a new blog on Tumblr which in itself is an experiment to try another microblogging site. My first post is about my 6th Birch Box that is much like the Pet Rock - A blatant way for 2 HBS ladies to make money off of willing victims like myself to be pampered by fancy little samples of all things new and beautiful self paid for.

I loved Dudey and always will! If you have a pet or would love to have a pet ... i am guessing you would understand when i say its the best feeling to be woken up by a warm lick on your face... thats pretty much how my mornings would start... he used to wait for me to wake up just to come sit on my lap like a little boy (just that he wasnt really little in size), let me hug him and kiss him to my hearts content... and then bark me a bye when i take off for the day. I've always had these bouts to start posting on my blog but nothing really pushed me this bad till now. Dudey passed away on May 4 leaving all of us devastated. Devastated, frustrated and helpless. Helpless cause we didn't prevent it from happening... frustrated because we still couldn't do anything to the people who took him away from us. I've written to newspapers, complained to "animal welfare/protection organizations"... one obliged.. the others did not bother as yet... which is why my first rea...

Milestones

We measure our lives based on these, we are guided by these, & we change with these sometimes. Your first steps, your first words, then for the longest duration in between its about how much you scored, how many you scored or how much you made for your self and your next generation but there comes a time when you truly start living for yourself. My dad turned 60 a few weeks ago and so I promptly tucked my son into my arms and braved the long journey to India with him alone. I've been fortunate to travel back and forth to India once every 6 months from the time I moved to the US considering most NRIs are known for their rather infrequent visits because of visa issues and sometimes their personal preference. Me, I am a sucker to go back every 2 months if I could. Hopefully in the long run I don't have to do this and will move back permanently. Friends and family say that will change with time. This trip was very important to me. I wanted to be there to see my dad turn 60...

The one with matted hair!

My nth attempt to write a post about this, and I am still at a loss of words when it comes to this one crazy hell of a trip that tested me physically, mentally, and my funny bone. I do make it sound like I've conquered peaks but for me this was close enough. There are trips you plan for months, and there are trips you plan in weeks ... this was one that changed in days. All we had planned for sure was destination 'Valley Of Flowers' through Delhi. Two excited pro-back packers + two excited yet unsure about the 'plan' travellers makes for a memorable trip that still cracks me up when I think about it. It wasn't just about us goofing around sometimes it was how the plot itself turned out to be. When we first started planning for this, the only thing that went on in my head was how my brother used to passionately talk about his friends that used to trek to the base camp or some exotic location in the North-east. I was excited to say the least. Plans fell into p...
