"How accidental our existence is and how influenced by circumstances" - Louis Kahn

Just saw "My Architect: A Son's Journey" . What a beautiful piece on the man who designed the campus of IIM Ahmedabad, the Parliament of Bangladesh and the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California...Yet died penniless and heavily in debt in a bathroom in Penn Station, New York..His body lay in the morgue unclaimed for 3 days..

I just got back from a Qawwali performance by Mehr Ali and Sher Ali.
Amazing...

The entire Rollins chapel was filled with the trance inducing claps and sounds of this famous duo from Pakistan. Beautiful music..

They ended with the famous "Damadam Mast Kalandar"

The Tuck ASW starts tomorrow. Should be a fun weekend. Lots of parties and events. I will be participating in a few events myself.

Got back from India yesterday..It was a great trip..lots of fun as expected. Went to Nagpur and Mumbai.
I also got my F1 visa stamped. The Consulate officer was a Dartmouth Alum too :)..so the interview was more of a general discussion about the college..

Saw Race in Mumbai..its a timepass movie..

I flew continental on their non-stop Mumbai-Newark flight..its good but a bit lengthy for my taste. I prefer the stop over as it gives me a chance to stretch my legs..

The Spring term starts today..This should be a quick term of only 2 months...Then onto the internship..

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Just 1 week left for the Winter term to end. I will be heading to India for my spring break next week..Should be a lot of fun!

Got back from Seattle this morning on a red-eye flight..It was an amazing trip to microsoft. Extremely hectic schedule, but I was surprised by the access to the top level executives during our stay there. We presented successfully and got beautiful trophies and certificates. Got to meet the CTO, Norm Judah and GMs from the service lines.

Now its back to the Tuck grind:) I have my finals in a week. Then a 2 week break for christmas, which will probably be entirely spent studying up on consulting cases..

Just got the great news that my team has won the Microsoft Case competition!! So we will fly out to Redmond next weekend to present to the Microsoft Services CTO..Should be great fun..

Am in NY right now. Drove from Hanover..It snowed a lot in Hanover today..but the drive was safe..
