Updates


It sure has been a long time since I last posted.
Life has been pretty exciting since then.

The internship search continued till Feb, and finally I made it through a big telecom company. The role sounds extremely exciting and I am eagerly looking forward to it.

The third term has started and by far it is probably the best term till now. Everyone seems to be a lot more relaxed and are having more fun in the class.

In between the second and third term, I managed to travel to Amsterdam, Portugal and Scotland. Sexy trips with tons of fun.
Had a great time in the coffee shops in Amsterdam, driving through the south of Portugal and doing Quad biking in Scotland.

We also had a couple of long weekends in the middle. In the first one, we went over to Cadaques, the house of Dali. Did Kayaking in the open sea. We had a bottle of Rum with us and all of us were pretty drunk by the time we got back to the shore :)


In the next weekend, we went over to Marrakech, Morocco. This visit is probably the best I have had all this term. It reminded me so much of India. The crowd, the dirt, the smell... it was just perfect :). Became really nostalgic in this trip.

We did a bit of shopping (remember, you need to bargain and bring the price down by at least 70%), ate a lot of good food and managed to watch a belly dance performance ;)
