Indian American Love Child

So I haven't been writing as much as I would like as of late. And trust me I have a lot to write about. Things are starting to get really tough. Class and coursework is starting to increasingly tougher, factor in being a bit homesick and the added stress of having to do well on the mini 2... well you can just say it gets hard trying to stay positive. Something i noticed during my short time here is how much the place you come from has an influence on you. I never knew our geographic background influenced our behavior so much. I have met so many people from around the country here, and honestly some of them seem to be from a different planet for me. For example, I have met many people from California here and i find relating to them difficult sometimes. The way they handles things, the music they listen to, their demeanor, there local culture all seem so foreign to me. I yearn for the familiarity and comfort that comes from a place you have known your whole life. I wonder if I am be...

Today i am really homesick... more than i have ever been since i ever came to Miami. I cried for the first time after leaving Jersey. School has been keeping so busy that i don't even have time to miss home like i normally would. the highlights of my first month in Miami include: -Dinner and dancing at Martini bar. first time spent with my new friends. had a really nice relaxing night. -biochem/physio/immuno quizzes suck the very life out of me -late nights studying and early mornings make for a very tired nandita -a merp bday gone wrong. stretch hummer limo. miami. sleep. -dinner at bubba gump. mansion afterwards. =) -Indian food in coral gables last night.... felt so good after so long -trying to eat healthy, but i find myself straying in times of stress -miss my friends, never able to appreciate there greatness till i was away from them... good friends are more valuable than gold. -i miss my car... it would make life alot easier. -apartment is a task... cooking, cleaning, laundr...

Greetings from the Sunshine State! Let me start off saying that Florida is most definitely correctly named the 'Sunshine State'. The weather here is beautiful, sunny, and deliciously hot! Though I must first impression was not thus so, let me start at the beginning. Last Friday: My friends planned this all day Nanny day going way thing... It was an amazing day!! Parul, swam, and I grabbed dinner at T.G.I.Fridays and had blast catching up and laughing up a storm. It totally reminded me of our Boston getaway and all the fun times! The fun continued to my house where we began to get ready. Maria and Veer came to my place and we left to go to lana lounge in hoboken. There I had a blast with Maria, roshani, veer, elise, rupesh, parul, monika, nick, swam, viral, nikita, meetal, and div! The night was amazing, the music at lana lounge was great, and I overall had a blast! The only glitch in the night was that my camera got stolen/lost. It was an unlucky camera night but besides that m...

It looks like a tornado hit my room. Everything is everywhere. I still have a bunch of stuff to pack, and no motivation to pack it. The bags under my eyes are beckoning me to my bed. My pillows mock me with their sprawl. The rain lulls me into a further comatose state of indifference. Overall, I just don't know what to make of today. My last day in jersey, and i have no emotion. Not sad, not happy, not excited, not apprehensive. Seriously if I was a color I would be white. I just don't think it has hit me, and it probably won't until I land in Miami tomorrow. Tonight I say goodbye to some close friends, and tomorrow morning my mom and my sister. But i just don't see it coming? Anyways let me get some crap done... P.s. i am positive i am forgetting stuff to take down there. Kudos to my lack of planning. P.s.s I am missing the family vacay which totally bites! everyone is going to be there this time around!!!!!!! FML!

Music is medicine. Medicine for the soul. Our bodies are physical, tangible objects we can see and observe. Physical harm inflicted upon us can be readily seen and observed. But what about our mind? What about our soul? How can we assess the damage when those scars and wounds are so delicately hidden? How can we heal something so aptly concealed from our self? We can seek solace in family, friends, and loved ones. We can mask the damage with drugs. Numb the pain with indifference. Who hasn't tried one of these methods or more? I know i have. But I have finally found my drug of choice... music. Eternal, mesmerizing, beautiful music. Whatever my trouble may be, there is something to be said for music. My first experience with the power of music was at the age of thirteen. My uncle had passed away, and i was quite shattered. It was my first experience with death, and I did not know how to cope. During the wake, there were devotional songs playing in the background. Something within m...

I am so sleepy! The family and I were up till 2am yesterday making basundi for Sunday's lunch. The stuff is complicated, boiling all that milk and making sure it doesn't stick is tricky! But alas my mom said it turned out well so I guess it was worth it. But now i am pretty tired at work. Two nights of sleeping at 2/3 am takes a toll. Maybe that's why i am not super psyched that i am going to see KARSH KALE tonight! I just think i am in a sleep coma of sorts! i need to wake up! But anyways tonight should be great... I love Karsh Kale's music. It takes me to some exotic, peaceful, beautiful land found only in the movies and dreams. I love how is music is a compilation of so many cultures, styles, and sounds. He is eclectic and versatile, and full of surprises. I hope he does some of his work with vocals because those songs are my favorite! I am interested to see what he will do tonight! Apart from that i am in quandary about to wear...i have so many clothes, some i ...

Last night I went to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I was not impressed at all, actually i was really disappointed. I realize the books are long and detailed filled and that directors have to be selective with what they include and what they leave out, but seriously the director failed miserably. 1. first off Dumbledore is so poorly cast its disgusting. The one in the movie is too stern, rude, abrasive to be dumbledore. Dumbledore would never hint at HP's relationship with Hermione! He would never suggest that he should let 'slughorn collect him'! wtf that was not in the book, it wasn't even remotely suggested. Dumbledore would never demean Harry in that manner. To make matters worse, this movie was one movie where the actor dumbledore needed to step up his game, and he failed. Did the actor even read the books? Biggest disappointment in the movie hands down. 2. Ginny. Harry's love interest can not act for the life of her. She is so stoic, and lacking...
