Oh Those Eyes

I have no doubt in my mind that these are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. There is something so very special about them. Whats awesome is that they belong to my sis! And boy oh boy do I miss her :-)
The Barsati's arch and a silhouette of myself and my camera lens are seen in her eyes.

Major events in MBA Term 1

I moved in with my new room-mate in a University Apartment, and spent the first four months there. I think I had a pretty tough time, with studies being tough, few friends to spend time with, hostile weather, no extra-curricular activities and a completely new place.
But by April, somebody decided that I had been punished enough. Good things began happening. A guest was coming over in April and I was moving to a new apartment. I was joining the elite York Consulting Group, and at the same time, I was making a few friends. There was some kind of a semblance of balance after I found a terrific tennis partner in Gaurav Malse.This guy was a national level under 16 tennis champ - I had struck gold.
Mahesh visited me after I spent a couple of months in Toronto. American Airlines has been kind enough to give free rides to all its employees. Lucky Bastards! I spent some time with Mahesh and Nimesh - went out skiing once. The interesting thing about this skiing place (Earl Bales Ski Resort), which is right in Toronto is that the ski slope is not on a mountain.. its in a ditch, a trough. The area around Toronto is as flat as a flushing meadows tennis court, and a ditch is the only place that could afford a ski slope!

Back Live!

Its Been a fun year, and I have not made any journal entries right through. I am going to try and put up a few things that I remember from my first year in Toronto - 2007. And then, I am going to try and maintain my blog and my website. Best of Luck Vaarun!
I left for Toronto on the 29th of December, 2006 by an Air India flight. Somehow, this time round there was'nt the kind of excitement that I felt when I had left for Pittsburgh (Sept 2005). There was the overwhelming feeling that I was going to be away from family for an indefinite period of time, and what was different with Pittsburgh was that I was on a short deputation through my company. I WAS coming back in 8 months, you see.
