Aishwarya Venkataraman, my second cousin is a prodigy. I met for the first time when she came to perform at ASU yesterday. At 13, she is an accomplished and an amazing violin player. You guys can and should read more about here . I heard Classical Indian music after ages yesterday at her concert and I realized how much I actually enjoyed it. I used to regularly go to some concerts with my parents when I was in India. But, this was my first one since I came to the United States and my interest in classical music has come back again. She gifted me one of her CDs. I have not heard it yet but I am going to hear it today when I go back home today. I am just a novice classical music listener and I don’t understand the intricacies in them. It is just that I find them very soothing and melodious to hear and I hope I learn more about it when I start listening to them.

Imagine looking at all of our internal organs, i mean real organs. Seeing just the amazing and intricate network of bloodvessels. I thought I needed to be a medical student to look at these amazing parts of our anatomy. Yesterday, I went to an exhibition on Human Anatomy called Body Works 3 . It has preserved bodies of dead people using a process called Plastination. All the body parts are kept as it is without any decay. This is mainly done for educational purposes for study of human anatomy; the most complex machine we have ever seen but still very systematic in arrangement and operation. I was a little uncomfortable at first but after sometime i was so fascinated that my friends had to pull me out of the exhibition. A few things really amazed me like there was a display with just the network of blood vessels. It looked so fragile intricate and reminded me of a fine mesh. There was display of damaged lungs ( due to smoking ) and damaged liver ( due to drinking). This display, every...

I kinda take pride in myself in being a good listener. A certain incident today, made me think otherwise. Do i acutally listen to what people have to say to me? Do i give a thought to all the advice i get from my friends or elders or anyone for that matter? I will like my friends who read this to give me instances in which i have not been a good listener or have refuted an advice without even thinking for a second. I think i might not be listening without realising what i am doing. Please post comments, i will really appreciate it.

Since everyone and everything around the world are talking about Valentine's Day aka Lovers' day, i thought why not write something about this very frequently and many times very loosely used word. A GTalk with my good friend Rahul today, led me to these thoughts about love which is written by Rahul's friend on his blog . He wrote: I feel there are two different aspects.To love someone.And to be loved.It is said "to be loved" is a natural need.And for me , its a need and not love.As long as you want this person or need this person , you dont love her , you love yourself and want "to be loved".Love is not meant to be a selfish thing.Love is much harder and selfless than that.To love is not to wish for someone to be with oneself , but to give up oneself for that someone.Love is not in sharing coconut water on some beach, but in staying thirsty if it helps her.Love is not in her coming to you , but to care for her when you know she would not come to you. F...

Yah I went to Disneyland (California) last week. I was in San Diego visiting my friends for the new year. When we were dicussing where we wanted to go on Saturday the 30th of December, Disneyland came up. At first i thought what the hell i am too old to be dancing around with mickey mouse ( actually i am just 24). but since no one wanted to go to sea world or palm springs, we decided to go to Disneyworld - California Adventure. Once we reached there, i saw that there were actually a lot of young people like us. I thought there are many crazy people like us. but once we started going on different rides, it felt so good. I felt i was a child again and it was not long before i found myself running around trying to go on all the thrill rides possible. I wanted to eat cotton candies, icecream from the carts( though it was very cold) , do everything i used to love to do as a kid. I felt i was 10 or 12 years old. There was so much happiness in the air - Families and Kids running around, child...
