Going for the VISA tm and I feel things are going to be different tuesday onwards. The seat belt will be strapped!!

Home: Vinod, I loved your post about Bhilai. And I think that's exactly how I feel about roorkee. Just yesterday I narrated all my childhood stiries to shruti till twelve... Those were the wonder years and they still live in the neighbourhoods that we have left behind; In photo albums that are probaly opened once in a year now; In old diaries that are dusty and yellow.

I dont want to be ordinary and I don't want to depend on luck next time. That's what I wrote to somebody earlier today in an e-mail. What I wanted to say was that I want to control my life. I want to make choices and not let life decide for me.
How can it be done? Leave nothing to chance.."Does God play dice" ? Yes he does. It certainly makes life exciting. But how about improving your odds :-) Not a bad IDEA !!

Right now I am in Hyderabad. I am just waiting to get back to doing what I love. Studying. I am not one of those bespectacled, high scoring, genious people, but I enjoy studying. And that's one on the strong reasons for chooosing to go for an MS. I want to experience it all over again. And ofcourse at a better place. Hmmm.. there is nothing to beat roorkee in a way though, because that is a peice of heaven. But let me stay on earth and taste reality.
Am I going to US or somewhere else?
The direction that I would finally like to take would be towards the protection of the environment and pollution control. MS in Sustainabilty is a step towards it. I get simply enraged when I see rivers and water bdies in our cities black with waste being dumped/pumped in or when I see a cow eating up a plastic bag that probaly has something edible in it. I don't know how I shall be able prevent all this but I have set out.
