1)Came Face -to- Face with scourge of Humanity (Cancer)...That particular day is still very lucid in my mind .The moment when the doc(top oncologist from Jehangir, pune)suggested that i might have cancer ..i just froze in my seat .... saw my 25 years go past by me in 3-4 secs it was then when i realized life is short, make the best of it, fortunately or unfortunately i do not know what to say it came 2 months before i was about to leave for USA for masters .I Started to hate the pungent odour the hospitals have .I had to go for many second and third opinions after which it became very clear that it was just infection and nothing else.Few days earlier this incident i had come to a conclusion that the religion thing was a farce.An idea propagated by mankind to control Human race.During those 3-4 days i just found my belief in god getting even stronger .I do not know where i stand today.But i do believe in this particular thought and it was reinforced that "When you want something from the bottom of your heart,the universe conspires it to make it a reality " .
2)Crossed oceans as in Hindi they say "Saat samandar par" to achieve my dream of doing masters in America.But once i did that, the view from here is not one expected before.Found out that america is just another country and nothing special about it,for once i realised i was an indian in america ,
3)Started to get hands dirty with Linux programming.Im really happy that i chose freedom and choice five years ago ,when i made a choice to switch over completely to linux and it has been a journey i probably will never regret for eternity .
4)Went on a impromptus trip with manoj and abhi to Alibaug @ midnight that too on bikes .Mumbai-pune expressway at night on bikes is a drive-by paradise ,that im for sure.
Wish ashish was here with us,it would have been more fun(He was sitting here in NY).
5)Met new people ,made friends ,adore some and hate some .
6)Tried to be a better son,friend ,and a better Engineer.
