Preparing to graduate!

After 2 1/2 years, 5 amazingly unique and different semesters, 11 courses, innumerable projects, one internship, Mr.V(me) is all set to graduate on the 14th of Dec 2006(if things goes as planned) with Masters' Degree in Mechanical Engg

I dreamt of this day for 23 long years. Now that it is here, i dont feel the excitememt and elation that should feel. It has been a fun time at ASU. Learnt so much ( in and outside the class) , made new friends from all over the world,made myself an amazing cook and hopefully become a better person than i was 2 1/2 years ago

Now comes the "real world" . first thing i want do is to get a job and make some time to go back to india and meet my loved ones. The day i left india(22nd July 2004) seems so long ago now.

i dont know what the future holds for me. but i think i am ready for anything that life can throw at me. thanks to my time here at ASU and tempe.

Ha! Well, congratulations, "d00d"! :-) Your excitement and anticipation of that graduation ceremony is almost palpable!

I've always told you that you were one of the very few I know who've had the conviction to pursue their interests in the face of tough odds. December 14th will be the culmination of that effort, and the end of that long journey.

Of course, as always, the end of one journey is the beginning of another! You'll feel the a different sense of delicious excitement, apprehension and anticipation of the world that lies ahead! Onwards ho!

My First Motorcycle Roadtrip

I went on my first road on my motorcycle( Kawasaki Ninja 500R) to a place called Kingman in the north of Arizona. This was 22nd of June 2007. It is around 200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona. A fun ride it was and was not very tiring as i assumed it would be. I left early around 6am and reached Kingman around 9.30am with 2 stops in the middle at Wickenberg and a some other place just before Kingman. The trip was very uneventful except that my gear lever came off few miles outside Kingman. Stopping at a gas station nearby, I found that I could put it back myself using the tools I had in my bike. Thank God! After finishing my work, I had short lunch break at Denny's in Kingman. For my friends back home, Denny's is nice diner chain where you get bottomless coffee :-). I left back early around 11.30am, so I can reach Phoenix before the temperature rises. On my way back, I stopped at a bridge and took a small video. My first personal video taken on my new Moto Rizr. First thing, I real

F1 is back!

It is that time of the year guys! Formula 1 is back and with a whole lot changes too. Renault trying to win another championship with alonso before he joins Mclaren in 2007 and then there are the V8s how will they affect the series. Tyre Changes are back and complicated new qualifying schedule should make March 12 2006- interesting day. Winter Testing showed Honda to be the best and most reliable team. With Barrichello, a proven race winner in the team , Honda can win their 1st GP in 2006. Renault looks solid as ever and sure are the favorites. You cant rule out schumi in what might be his last season in F1. Mclaren have been very erratic in the winter testing, with mercedez V8 not up to the mark. F1 pundits thinks Cosworth and Toyota have best V8s. This makes Toyota and Williams- Dark Horses in 2006 season. It will interesting to see how BMW does in its 1st year as an independent team.The speed of Super Aguri in 2002 arrows will also be interesting. Personally, I am very big Williams

A piece of my mind on India's security solution

The solution to our internal security is not simple. The responsibility of this situation is just not on the politicians and bureaucrats, but on the whole of India. - The people of India. I think we are as much responsible as the politicians and bureaucrats are for this current pathetic situation. The following are the things that are the needs of the hour : Politicians Create a separate portfolio for Internal/Homeland Security. Have a really strong minister fo r it. Make a division in CBI, RAW etc solely for the purpose of the internal security. They will brief the union minister for homeland security. Each state has its own state minister for internal security. They are responsible for the security of the state s. Have highly trained commandos in all the major cities including tier 1 cities. Train the police to handle such terrorist attacks in the absence of the commandos. Also, train them to work under the commando when they are present. Provide all the equipment required to do the
