Whats with people? Everyone I know is getting married! It surely isn't wrong, but whats with the season? I personally know 14 couples who tied the knot this December! Congrats all of you..but, take it easy guys..
I think its the 'NRI season' as they call it, when every guy living here goes home just with the intention of getting married. 15 days to find a bride and marry her! How weird is that! How can you choose a life partner in 15 days, that too under pressure? Beats me!

Memoirs of a Geisha
This book, much to Ameya's disgust, accompanied me on my journey. I picked it up without much thought, just as something to scan through during the flight. Unfortunately for Ameya, I was literally hooked on to it! It's not that the book is a classic, but it can surely touch you. In spite of the grammatical errors and poor language, the author does manage a decent job. He opens up a Geisha's world for you and gives you a totally different picture of Japan. It's the story of a very successful Geisha and how she pines for man she loves, but never gets him! The author decribes the details beautifully and you start expecting a good story from him. But of course, it gets boring along the way, and at the end, depresses you even more. The book has many sad undertones to it but in the end, it does give you an insight in the lives of those unfortunate girls. Verdict: Don't bother reading..theres a movie releasing soon anyway!
lazy blogger
Thats what I call myself! A lazy blogger..I have so many things to write about, that I keep putting it away for the weekend, and then homework takes up my entire weekend. Isn't that a pity! But before my friends put up my name in one of the 'Pretend to blog' lists, I decided to post something.
My Greensboro, New York, NJ trip was fabulous. The entire break we ate great food (most of it Indian. thanks to the million Indian restaurants in NJ), heard good music and chilled out with friends. Ofcourse, shopped like maniacs and saw the NYC attractions. What I liked the most about NYC is not the Times square or the skyline..no doubt they're great, but what struck me, was the energy. The sheer energy of the city is intoxicating. The pace of the city is so much like Bombay, that you feel at home. A lot of Indian faces also make you very comfortable. And the crowds and the trains, definitely remind you of Bombay. My suggestion to all you guys: If you ever feel really really homesick, book a flight to NYC. I promise it'll refresh you!
