Trip to Miami / ft Lauderdale

Nice trip to Miami .. Met some nice friends there .. Hopefully next time I will be inside the Florida International University and also Sheesh !!! the Mexicans there .. It is better to know Spanish rather English if you want to survive in Miami .. but a very nice place indeed ..


Went to the Hindu temple in the right ..
First temple I visited after coming to America ..

Night Life at the Miami South-beach !!

May 21 .. 3:39 am

Just was about to go to sleep . Started watching "The Mentalist" , the pilot is wonderful. Progress with my work is going good . Learning a lot of new stuff .. [Bash, PHP, CSS and most probably I have to indulge myself with Ruby on Rails and Perl to make my work finish faster ] I like Programming now ///


almost everyday a little bit of efficiency is increased !!

well I recommend the Mentalist to nbody who liked Dexter , CSI , Numbers dadada ...It is a good watch ..

A unpleasant night

A crazy night !!

Yesterday , a very unholy thing happened to one of my close friends !! First I want to thank god that nothing happened that could have hurt him and I was happy that everything was fine with at the end .


What happened was, He and his room-mates were living in the ground floor and as usual the swimming pool door was open . Somebody(I guess 2 masked men) around 12:00 came inside their room and pointed two guns on one of the guys and asked him for money , since he had none he randomly gave him a bag and the masked men ran off ..



That was it , of that event after some 5 mins one of his roomies called us to see if somebody was there still .. His other roomates were still there inside the room and they were very afraid to come out also . The guy did not tell us that the masked men who were there had guns with them . But still some 5 of us , reached there house and were looking inside to check if anybody was inside the house . Nobody was there of course and then so we could go inside and bring out the guy who was the main victim .. He was inside the bathroom and was very traumatized and was shocked . We had to calm him for some time .


During this time we had called the Police and there were some 10 police cars outside the place and they were scanning the whole place and looking for the bag that was stolen . the bag did not have anything valuable in it , but the most important thing was that the guy's life was saved . that is what I thank god For !!

Like the Guy went with us To Miami and he was njoin with us and if anything would have happened to him then it would have been very very tragic .. anyway now it is over and the guy has left the apartment complex and they have gone to live somewhere else .

Random Moments !!

Well this was a random pic taken .. when I guess we were looking at a chick !~! in a  white dress .. :) ...

Jai Shri Ram !! A very special post

Happy easter to everybody .. this is going to be a very special post to me since here I am posting something that will always be to me of godly Importance .. They are my family . My father , mother my brother .. the Lord ..

shri ram .. .. I dont have any photos of them .. in my blog and I was looking for a chance to get a photo of them together .. my grandparents and also my family , since I love them very much ..
I have a camera I will get all my family photos in my blog once I go back to India..
I love my youngest uncle family also and my mother's sisters too .. will have a photo of them  also.

It has been some difficult times recently .. when I am down in confidence and lack of concentration and I am able to come back to my senses .. as I pray the Hanuman chalisa ..

I just hope Sri ram is always with me and guide me through all the hardships .. No matter what people do .. I will never leave praying shri ram .. and no matter people tell me I will never stop searching for the good in people .. since that is what believing in Lord ram all means ..

Shree raghuveer ... Shri hanuman praying ..

One strange thing that I have seen among people in America are they have the characteristics to be too personal and distance themselves , from others .. no matter how polite they talk to you and how good you feel with them .. once you know them thoroughly , you will understand that they can never become too close to you .. there is always a limit to their closeness and a boundary to their friendships ..

 Simple !! you want to prove them this ?? Ask them How many people from there childhood are they in contact with .. if they say none .. ask them how many people from their High-school they are in contact with.. most probably there answer will pretty much be very few .. only .. they are not very close to anyone except there family ..

but we Indians are a different lot I am still in best frnds with people who were my friends 10 years ago and still go and meet their family and talk everything and hang out and have fun .. most people in my age do that ..

But here people are like " Banjaras" .. you know once they leave a place they pretty much forget it and forget the people ther .. I dont very much lk it .. but this is the way they do it .. odd ..

 Anyway for us I guess it will never change ..I like it this way .. I dont know they must try to find our why is this with them .. the thing is they are very happy with that also .. that is why you will never find a big gathering like a mela or a puja where we call the whole colony :) .. in America .. only the Indians here do that .. haa ..

dont know may be they just like being a little distant ?!?!!

At The Homosassa state park and cedar key

It was a wonderful saturday evening and we started our journey to the Homosassa state park , up north-west of gainesville .. It was decided that as the spring break was about to end .. it was very much necessary that we go somewhere and somewhere peaceful . The Homosassa state park was one of the best place that could have been there .. The shallow green waters , the manatees .. you can find them all at my Photography link .... if you do not have the link mail me at sandeep.maxcraze@gmail.com .. It was a wonderful day at the state park with all those birds .. it was smelly :) but was peaceful and chirpy .. Then we went down to Cedar key .. that was just wonderful .. the experience was just wonderful. The lonely houses and the peaceful and calm nature of the place was just amazing ..

I am at a all time Low !!

.............. The Image pretty much describes my condition right now .. This is crazy and all this is getting to me now .. Sometimes it is too frustrating actually. Just to look at it .. People asking bull*** like .. your GPA , How many papers , how many calls .. Ahh sometimes this pains ..but have to live with it .. I am at a difficult part of my journey now .. I know this phase will also pass and I will later look at it and think that this was not as bad as there may come other parts .. but yes this does look very very intimidating . Now I have to think of the future .. I am not confident to do anything .. right now ..too much competition .. These chinese guys ... shaaa they work so hard man !! everything is just "A" for them .. that is all .. anytime I go to the college NEB Lab .. my nervousness grows even more . they would be just speaking in their language and doing something in "error control coding" or may be hanging on to " Lt Switch cad" .. this gets me even more streched ......I could not figure out a way to tackle these guys in the 1 and a half years .. okay their English sucks but they have all the grades and all the funding .. ..... Sucks !!! Graduation is getting near and I have so much to think about .. I am trying... may be I am not able to concentrate properly .. the Whole MS was a lack of concentration it feels .. like .. anyway will tell a little bit about this some other time .. The only good thing right now is "One -piece " that is only thing that keeps me sort of happy .. otherwise I am sleepy most of the time ... I try to take some photos but I am well too gloomy to take my camera and go outside most of the time ... I just hope I come out of this .. This year has not gone that bad yet .. hope it comes up with some luck ..

The Wonderful Pot-luck at 409 ..
