It’s been a long time since most of you heard from me… so I’m going to tell you everything in detail…

So, there I was… in Las Vegas… at my room… looking out the window… what a view! I was staying on the 24th floor of the Monte Carlo Hotel & Resort (Or Resort & Casino, as preferred by the Hotel/Casino). The rooms were amazingly nice… the first thing I realized is that the Television was a totally pay-affair! You had some of the basic channels on for free… but they were very limited and boring… the hotel charged for most of the interesting and more engaging content. One thing to notice, was that the entire television program selection is completely centralized!

It’s been a long time coming… but I’m finally leaving for Los Angeles… I’m on my way to Bombay, where I’ll take the night’s flight out!

It’s an exciting time for me and my family… and it’s going to be one helluva ride!

Add this to the fact that today is my birthday.. and you get a larger picture of my feeling of excitement! I have this wonderful opportunity at hand! Wish me the best of luck for my presentation at the International Conference on Wireless Networks, and also wish me the best for my appearance at University of Southern California… I hope I get a admit there!

I will try to keep posting… but I think I’ll keep a small log… and when I get back… I’ll put in a LOOOOOOOOOONG blog!

Yes, I’m back! I returned back from the US on the 9th of July. I know it’s been over a week and I haven’t posted… but then there’s a lot of things to be done after which I can post here without worrying about them. So finally I get some time… and here I am! (Bon Jovi – Here I am)

One of my friends from K. K. Wagh, Deepak Dayama, is studying in University of Southern California, Los Angeles. I reached Los Angeles on the 23rd evening… I met Deepak who was waiting for me outside the airport at the receiving place. We took the shuttle to USC campus, more precisely, 2620, Ellendale Place, North University Campus. This is where I was staying while in LA. His friend (Nainesh), who had actually made the arrangement for me to stay in a room with a guy named Ashish.

This is purely dependent on your personal choice. As a general rule, we tend to think that in case you have been good at Computer related subjects in school and/or college, you will be having a good aptitude in Computer Engineering. This is not generally true. Up till the 12th Standard, everyone studies the common subjects and there is just a little specialization.
