Clive crashed here overnight on his way from Waukesha, Wisc to his relatives place for the long weekend. So... we went out to eat to Khana Khazana for a buffet but somehow...none of us could eat. Then... Borna suggested going to the bars....and we ended going to Harry's as none of us had been there. Ordered some coke which was sooo watered down :|. Fun stuff... what with Raghu hating his drink ("Tastes like shit"), Manasi screwing up her face each time she took a sip of hers, Clive drinking more than half of Manasi's drinks... and most funny.. Borna started getting woozy on half a glass of her drink (and she wanted to go dance after that...so she stopped and drank water... and she had to visit the restroom 4 times!!! Well.. Now... Raghu's gone to Chicago now for the weekend.
now.... need to focus on doing some project work... fixing Pushkar's comp and reading....
You know... coming to Purdue has changed my perspective so much!! I do things I would never have dreamt of in India...
1) the opposite gender. I believe I was never really found girls attractive or interesting till I came here. I 'knew' I was supposed to like girls. at some stage. Just had no .... sense...of it. Well... when I first came here...I felt uncomfortable around girls..to a certain extent. There was an invisible barrier. Somethings my friends would be able to do or say and make it seem totally natural...which I felt so out of place with. Well...times have changed and so have I. Have to see if its for better or for worse. One thing I can say is that now I feel much more comfortable around women...atleast most of the time. Something I doubt I would have achieved to the same extent in India.
2) People!! I have met so many individuals here...I find it amazing .. the diversity of culture ... the difference in views.... the similarities in views too. I find that my views on people have changed...my understanding of them.
3) Life in general. I think my views of life have changed quite a bit. I believe the process started before I got here... but the atmosphere here at Purdue has helped shape a lot of it. Now...I feel I am much more laidback... much more open about myself... and somehow.... I have not a care in this world.
oh well. Hope I am a better human being for what I am.... conflicting personalities.... talkative buffoon...anything I may be...
Mohan.
