The people are not bad save for some of the "desis" :-) It can be intimidating with MIT and Harvard around, but the average intelligence of Boston went up by 50% after I came here. Now, now that's wishful boasting :-)Praveen Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066449552055203870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-451454246272989172007-11-07T07:16:00.000-08:002007-11-07T07:16:00.000-08:00That sounded like a fun trip!

Yeah, it makes hell a lot of difference to see places with the right people. Btw, in future, don't get up early in the morning asking us to get ready!!!:-)<BR/><BR/><B>Karthik aka Dr. Basha,</B><BR/>I am itching to tell my readers what Dr. stands for :-) It is great that Mani <B>Ratnam</B> and Rajini came together at Boston :-) Well done sir!!! As both of you say, hopefully the next trip is not too far off.<BR/><BR/><B>Lakshmi,</B><BR/>Thank you for the comment. We have a good group to hang out. So, we make it a point to get together now and then, and have fun. It was a dream come true for me the first time when I stepped foot on MIT and Harvard. It inspires you no end to achieve something in life when you go to such places. Make it to Boston, and I can see MIT and Harvard again :-)<BR/><BR/>Great to know that you will continue blogging. Looking forward to reading your posts :-)<BR/><BR/>The pretty girl in the photo is my good friend, Shubhika, from school (UMR, Rolla), and it is just that, both of us landed up with jobs in Boston. So, we, along with quite a few, hang out together during the weekends. By the way, the message to the pretty girl is conveyed :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Pretty Girl,</B><BR/>Yep, I did finally write about our Boston get together. After all, Karthik told me that this trip definitely needed a writeup. Yes, more MIT & Harvard trips in the pipeline, my fellow guide :-)<BR/><BR/><B>Anonymous Sid,</B><BR/>Hahaha!! It was pretty nasty of me not to include your names. But, you see, I was protecting your privacy :-) Since it was a mistake from my end, I will take a treat from you :-) <BR/><BR/>Sid, don't tell me you want to be called pretty :-)Praveen Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066449552055203870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-39428665543629991242007-10-30T11:35:00.000-07:002007-10-30T11:35:00.000-07:00Praveen, Sid getting wrong ideas about the complim...Praveen, Sid getting wrong ideas about the compliment!!!Shubhikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12395240989402300030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-68656433936416899342007-10-30T11:20:00.000-07:002007-10-30T11:20:00.000-07:00Thanks a lot karthik, I was just kidding :).

We try to do it here too, but no where to go expect Forum mall, and things like that. You are so lucky to have seen MIT and Harvard, I wish I could see it some day. You are right, I think there is a lot of positive energy in these places, sort of inspires u to study, right? And BTW, thanx for such a nice comment on my blog. I have decided to ignore harsh comments and continue blogging. Who is that girl in the photo? She is really pretty. :)Lakshmi Bharadwajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212991591359341995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13785822.post-3528522559470619422007-10-29T22:26:00.000-07:002007-10-29T22:26:00.000-07:00Yeah..
