Meet my Valentine

This year's V-day is going to be a memorable one. I am going to introduce u to my valentine..take a guess..who might it be..bolo bolo, socho , socho..accha chalo bata hi deta huun..its Washington DC airport!!

Now listen up..heres what happened...i am returning from San Diego and I land safely in DC. Then i come to know that the weather is real bad here with lots of snow making it unsafe for flight departure..so my flight to Roanoke gets cancelled.
I try to pacify myself a bit saying its ok, u r not the only person affected by this..there are thousands of others here who have even missed international flights due to this....i wait in the United Customer service queue for 2 hrs only to be given the boarding flight for my flight for Feb 14, ya V-day.

I promptly book a hotel in DC and spend the night there. Then i come back on V-day to board my morning flight, but since conditions havent improved, i am rebooked for a flight for 10pm that night...now this is no more fun...i decide to make some plans for the day at the airport only hoping that the flight will depart at night...

Firstly, i purchase internet for a day costing $10 out of my pocket and do my emails quickly. But i realize that, emails wont keep me busy for the day, so I make up my mind to catch up on thesis work...yes coding at the airport, grab a coffee and some cookies and code for food..drink, code, drink, code..ok its lunch time and i am caught up in a strange coding issue. i eat a hearty meal at Subway, order a Hot Chai Latte and sit back...the tea immediately helps to solve my problem and i realize i have done enough for the day!!

So now, i get into serious orkutting, blogging (which is why you r reading this one)..probably destiny wanted me to experience V-day with Washington airport...wish me luck so that i reach BBurg safely by today!

Catching up!

hmm..its been almost 2 months since my last blog and its time to catch up to events in life...bro got married, everyone's happy back home and things are finally settling down in Blacksburg aka Kalewadi, Virginia. The semester started on a fine note with lots of desi home made sweets to relish...and Chitale's bakarwadi too!

Then i had my first meeting with my advisor and it started heating up, although BBurg shows -7 degrees Fahrenheit currently..
