Beautiful Georgia

The state of Georgia is so naturally beautiful...

You need to live here a few months to say "Georgia on my mind"...

We wanted to visit Savannah,GA last year when Appa and Amma were here, but that couldn't happen... hopefully we will get to go there this year...

There are many scenic drives for the fall colors which is between the last week of October and first week of November...

One of the scenic drives which would be great to drive by is


Scenic Drives of North Georgia - Georgia Highway 197(Scenic 197)

Hope we will get around to doing it sometime !

A new phase

May 14th, 2010 was another big moment in my life... I graduated with a Ph.D in Math. I have learned so much in these last few years apart from just Math. Have grown so much as a person, which, I must attribute to all the people with whom I have been associated with along the way. The road was bumpy at times, there were moments when I cried but there were many more when I laughed and have been very happy. Like Miley says, "It's all about the climb" and I have enjoyed every minute of it. If you haven't heard this song, you should. It is very motivational and I'll always remember listening to it every morning on my walk to school. I have been very lucky along the way in meeting some wonderful people, from whom I have learned a lot and I am sure they never realized that their actions good or bad were actually teaching me something. Tulane's unified commencement ceremony was as usual superb! Anderson Cooper delivered such a wonderful speech. You ca...

Did you know : The Rock of Gibraltar also called as the "Pillar of Hercules" is a monolithic limestone whose geological formation took place when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth... It was formed as a result of the collision between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates... For more information : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Gibraltar Many a times, somebody very close to me has compared my strength to this rock, and today I decided to look it up, and thought it would be interesting to launch my blog by sharing this information... Presently working on my Ph.D in Applied Mathematics, I have found little time to exercise my creative energies. So I am hoping that this blog spot will motivate and encourage me to do just that... More in my next..

What's on the news today?

A few weeks ago, when in Atlanta, Arun and I watched this Hindi movie "Rann" which is all about the role of the media in today's world and how it has evolved... Some of the points elucidated in the movie are so obvious for us to see in our everyday lives. One of the things being, how we fabricate the most common insignificant occurrences into either a debacle or wonder. We create all the hype so it has a large audience and of course the inflow from advertising... An example would be, a major news channel who was airing the Nobel peace prize ceremony of President Obama and in the middle of it suddenly turned their attention to the balloon flying in the Colorado sky. Even without proper evidence that there could be somebody in it, they had a bunch of people weighing in on what would happen if it were true. In the end it turned out to be a hoax and I would have missed the award ceremony if not for another channel. Recently in the news has been Tiger Woods. At his cost every ...
