am i a different person here?
i have barely slept since being here this summer. and all i want to do is socialize/network. do any of y'all remember how i was spring semester the 1st year at UVA-- yeah that's how i am now, just more mature (sort of). i need to keep this up when i am in the US. for some reason in the US i am always tired-- is life there boring? too cold? unstimulating? i feel so. i guess india won't be as fun in 10 years when all of my friends are settled down in the US-- right now everyone is still moving all over the place-- DC london new york singapore tokyo delhi san francisco philly bombay you get the idea.
i am going to attempt to continue the practice of entertaining. although it is somewhat hard to do in richmond bc my friends there are limited. time is also a limitation-- there is school. but guddu and i will have to take more car trips to DC, the 'ville, the 'burg, etc. i think i will be spending a lot of time in DC for interviews and visits-- i have 4 new people i know up there: kelley, shakti, karthik, and demian.
last night i called karthik over for dinner. karthik, shakti, and later kelley, and i enjoyed a typical bihari meal of bhindi bhujia, mattar-soyatein and rice. there was some south indian influence on shakti's part-- yogurt and achar. we've had this bottle of gin the whole summer and tried to finish it last night, but we had no tonic water, so we had it on the rocks. dad-- i don't know how you drink that! the bottle of gin is still quite full and it was another late night.
work is going well (oh yeah that is why i am here). we keep getting these last minute requests for articles on biz opportunities for US firms in india-- very hot topic right now bc of the PM's visit to the US. so i have an article to draft by friday-- it is currently twice as long as it should be. but i can cut it down, brevity is 2nd nature.
