Columbus Diaries Begin.....

Aeons and aeons of unplanned break from blogosphere finally comes to a finito. Gosh...i don't even remember when I wrote something last time. Back to the world of blogging. Reporting straight from the heart of Ohio, Columbus.

Intially this city seemed really small as compared to Houston. Houston is huge..vast...enormous....and Columbus is nice, small, cozy. Nevertheless, it is the 15th largest city in US. As for myself, I feel homely here. And why not, my roommates here are the very people I stayed in Houston. Monali and Manjiri are two wonderful roomates one can have. Life with them is fun and comfy. Not to mention....we all miss Deepti here. We all have moved into a nice new town house. Wow...people..it rocks. No kidding. And the icing on the cake...is my own room. :D Yet to get a bed, but enjoying my room, my house, my stay with some really nice people.

But...guess what. No internet !! Gosh..thats really is getting on my nerves. Ya ya...we have internet and router and blah blah the damn router settings. After a whole ordeal of confrontation with the customer care, the guys finally said your new lappie's internal wireless card is screwed. Get a 25 feet long cable. Shucks !!! And that reminds me that I forgot to mention about my new laptop. Really spent a whole day just to configure it according to my convenience. Call it crazy and unnecessary...but believe me...I am Crazy. :D:D.

My transition from Houston to Columbus has been really long and slow and demanding patience. Finally there. And all worth it !! Although still missing houston, afterall you cannot forget your first shelter in the US of A.

The Ohio State University has a gargantuan campus. Every momment your eyes would get a glimpse of students walking or running to catch the shuttle buses..they are called CABS here. And with your school id, you can travel free on any of the city buses too...wow. Thats really nice. But the nicer part is that our house is near to the department. Really, the 8:00 am walk to those early morning lectures is the best part of the day. :) Of course, the weather is wonderful these days...cut to october end and winter sets in. God knows what will I do then in the snow walk...:D

"Columbus columbus ..chutti hai aayi..o yeah" . Well, I may have to reconsider the lyrics here..the first quarter of PhD had begun and it is as gruelling as it can be. :)

Oops....time to read class assignments. :D
