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!

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

What a Irony!

On a day when India is celebrating the successful completion of Stage 1 of conquering the moon, people are being beaten up and public property worth thousands of rupees is being burnt in Mumbai and its suburbs. What a contrast! But that is my India for you. On one side, people taking law into their own hands proclaiming that they are saving the marathi  manoos and hurting people from other parts of country to gain political mileage and on the other hand, 3000 people from all over India are working together to conquer one goal - the moon.   I am sure, of the 3000 people, there is atleast one  marathi  manoos. Does he care that he belongs the different state than the others working with him? It must not even cross his mind that he is working with an Bihari or Tamilian. He can only see that all of them have a common goal - to put an Indian flag on the moon.  He lives, works and shares his life with others without worrying about their origin. He cannot even think of hurting them. He might

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
