Change we need!!

Namaste All,

Jai Somnath!
Yeah, Jay Somnath! This temple, in its full glory is indeed the sign of courage our Nation and Hindus as such possess! Everytime this temple of Bhagwan Shiv was brought down, it came up with more majesty, the current one being the best one according to me!! (Alright, I didn't see rest of them and also I am in love with this temple, I might go on to say that it ain't Taj Mahal but Somanth MAdir that should be given a place in 9 wonders of the world as well :))
This thoughts of Somnath mandir came to my mind while I was watching the ghastly acts going on in Amchi Mumbai! Our Mumbai! Mumbai that belongs to Indians and not that of Raj Thackerays!! I wonder where he was and what he was doing while city was held hostage by a couple of Bastards from across the border! :O

Enough of Digression, I know you guys want me to come to main point!
I was glued to my Laptop for 2 days seeing the prooceedings that were taking place at Taj hotel and other prime buildings of Mumbai! It pained,created agony, hatred and almost everything that can be associated with Tamas! :( I had been to the same place on 13th DEC, 07, last time I had been to Mumbai in order to get my visa :( ( I now wish I hadn't got that.) This place, although British in architecture, gave a sense of pride to me, seeing it, I felt proud of bharat, of Mumbai! But went away the majesty with what happened! Although I am sure, Taj will be build up with even more grandeur! ( You guys see, little bit of digression is but necessary.).

We see a lot, hear a lot and analyse a lot but when come the application we hide our backs like an Ostrich :O. This is what I anticipate, will happen in the aftermath of this terrifying acts.
We see a hell lot of people saying we need a change! All discussions I heard ( I confess, I killed a lot of time listening to them!) were useless, aimed to prove only and only one thing- Only people who are responsible for what happened are 'POLITICIANS'. A preferred way by all of us to hide our own short comings. For anything and everything bad, point out the finger at people that occupy the Delhi! If you dont earn, you are hungry, you are uneducated, point finger at Delhi and its policies!
Even I think we need a change, but this change is within us, the way we think, the way we act. We are occupied with the West for wrong things,be it night clubs or live in-s. This is not we need, we need some better things to learn from West, these things inlcude, Planning, Integrity,proper law enforcement, better hygiene etc. etc., list goes on and on, in many ways if we bring this change, I am pretty sure, such acts and hence, the history will not repeat. This is the change I was talking about! :)
see you later on,
Jai shri Ram.

Halat Bigdi!!!!!

Hello friends!
This time here to share the experiences of being at USC!
It is high time for me to study but still just to relax a bit, I thought of posting a new blog.
As the heading says, to describe USC in few words, I prefer to say, "SWEET ASYLUM".
It has been a terrifying experience!
Too much of the hard work and nothing fun!
I never anticipated that it would turn out to be so wierd.
It has been a truely hilarious experience, not in the sense that I hate hard work, but more due to the fact that even after workin hard, I some times ended up doing something that was totally confusing, and that confusion arised from the fact that I was not knowing what I was trying to do!! I think that sums up USC.
It asks you to do the things of which you are totally unaware of! i.e, a total confusion!
I am so terrfied with todays experience that I am not able to write any thing good about USC for today atleast!
So for that, wait for the next post!
See you all later on,
Good Bye,
Vandemataram,
Konark Vyas!

Here I am ! This time from the land of Uncle Sam!

Hello friends!
Again I come . Finally fulfilled the dream of being to US of A with purpose of pursuing Master's in Communication Engineering! As I disembarked Singapore on my way, I was estonished to see such a beautiful place! A fabulous airport I ever visited
(Based on comparision of :
Chatrapati Shivaji international airport,Mumbai, Bharat
Sardar Patel international airport,Karnavati,Bharat
Moscow international airport,Moscow,Russia
Istanbul international airport,Istanbul,Turkey,
Los Angeles international airport,Los Angeles,USA)
All beautiful things too see(although all artificial!)
Its simple beauty at its best. Engineering at its pinnacle! I had a feeling that things don't became more good! Visited all of places that I could but without paying a $$$$$$!
And after a pleasent and memorable stay of almost a day, I headed to the destination! A country where every Gujarati wants to be!A country where references count officially!
I landed at LAX aka Los Angeles on the last day of 2007! The city of Hollywood!The city of stars! The city that houses the Wallstreet of west!The city that is home to Trojans & hence a home to me!


Finally I had the chance to visit the place where I will spend next two years being a student at University of Southern California! "Magnificent architecture and excellent infrasturucture" is what best defines USC! But its same words that define all universities of America!
I first time saw a blend of European and Jeffersonian architecture! It was all beautiful and I must say, affluence shows in everything at this place! Its just awesome!

More of it in next part!
Good bye!
Vandemataram.
