Days in the land of Uncle Sam

Right now, as I write this while in the Show-Me State (Missouri), I complete my 5 months of stay in the Land of Uncle Sam.

Experiences....plenty !
Remembered family: Everyday !

23rd Bday celebrated in St Louis, MO.

Journeys:
1. April: Chicago
2. May: NY
3. June: Indianapolis [F1]

Mishaps: Plenty :P
[Missed connecting flight at Atlanta]

Landed here on the 24th March and that weekend we had a Holi party here.
Holi was a nice one....with a lot of zeal amongst Infoscions at Southmoor Apartments in South County in Saint Louis.

Indians met: Plenty .....proud to say that !
Goras/Goris met: Plenty....again proud to say that :P

Party: Less than that in India. Company sucks big time. Moreover, south county MO has very less to offer.

Learnings: Lotssa them

Career: Stagnant...no significant progress.

Rest of updates : Laterzzzzz

Software and the Underworld

Literature:
Working on something which I have very abstractly titled as "Software and the underworld"
Revolves around a mysterious firm which is India's most leading software services and products provider. However, there are reservations in certain sects of population about its actual business.

Well outlined, still working on details of the script.
Will update later.
