India trip is happening!!

Yaay! So now that I've gotten into NYU, I can start with the full fledged planning of my India trip - leaving around the first week of May, will be in Bombay for 2 weeks, and then backpacking through the country for the rest of the time. More details over here - my new blog - The Indian Experience!!

Dim luck luck

I'm staying in New York City!!! WOO HOO!!! popatlal ki jai!! Dim luck luck!! Boogie Woogie!!

WWWWOOOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh please, why am I surprised - I always knew I was the best ;)!!!

Touche 

*sigh*

So was snowed in all weekend. Saw More Tales of the City, a gay miniseries from the 90s which Ron lent me on dvd. Feeling very depressed-self-pitying today. Maybe bec of the snow.

You Are Gonzo the Great

"Is something burning in here? Oh, it's just me." You're a total nutball who will do anything for attention. The first to take a dare, you'll pull almost any stunt. You're one weird looking creature, but your chickens don't mind!

Amul - taste of India

How cute is that?!! I love the amul ads.

Rang De Basanti and Minnesotta

So went to see the new Aamir Khan hindi movie, Rang de Basanti (Colors of Spring), with my brother last sunday - and let me just tell you - I was blown away. It's unbelievable the way the director, Rakeysh Mehra, has managed to capture the sentiment and apathy of the youth in India, and show people what the country needs. To say that a surge of nationalism rushed through me during the movie is an understatement. I don't want to say too much more because I may end up giving away details of the plot, but in a nutshell, Kya zabardast picture hai!!! Anyone who's desi needs to go see it. I'm going to go again - it is superb.

And in other news, I am going to Minnesotta from Mar 2-5. The U of MN has invited me to minneapolis to interview with them, which means I get an all expense paid trip for 4 days to see my Nonie! (I should be more excited about the interview, but for some reason, I'm more excited to navneet!) In anycase, I hope some good comes of it.

And even more bad news...

Now, I'm not one to self pity, but the last month has been just painful. I was eagerly looking forward to hearing about my decision from NYU, and today they sent me an email saying that I'm 'on hold' - which is neither an acceptance nor a rejection - and they'll let me know in a MONTH!!!! AARRRGGHHH!! I don't know how much more of this I can take - this whole deal is so stressful - maybe I should just quite everything, move back to India and 'do business' and get married to some woman who I'm never going to sleep with.

And, to make things worse, the virgin megastore theater at times sq which shows hindi movies has shut down. Waaaahh!!!

When will the good news come??!!!

The reason to my recent crabbiness

So I've been awfully antisocial and crabby lately, and I've sort of assumed that it was because I was stressed about grad schools and my life, but could this be the real reason?
