BLACK I

Yes, the biggest news personally is that I have calls from all six IIMs. Finally something to be pleased about personally. i am once again going with the flow and doing things because they are the thing to do by popular wisdom but it seems that fate is also playing a hand here. Not that it (fate ) is something whose origin, form or end results are known to me but still it feels like the right thing to say. Rambling has its own pleasures with hardly any side effects except for a truer estimation of the protagonist by the general populace.

There were two thing that saddened what was personally a very pleasant fortnight with family and good news. One became news, the Tsunami, enough web space has been given to its coverage and commentary. I also met a twelve year (just a guess, no one knows her age) old girl who has no parents, had kalazar when she was younger which went untreated and she is going to die. And she knows it. Personal exposure was much more distressing than world wide news. I would like to help her but how.

Last summer (seems to be a long time back ) I inerned in an NGO in Almora, Uttaranchal. I must say it was the purest, most fulfilling month of my life. It makes me smile whenever I recall it. NOt that I did any noble work but that I was among special people the purities of whose lives was elevating. The main guy in the NGO is an IITD (makes me happy) Mechanical BTech and an MIT PhD. I wish someday I can attain that purity.

I think Anant http://anant1.blogspot.com/should start writing again. He is just plain lazy. I read Arnav's bloghttp://thelosthighway.blogdrive.com/ and he is great.
