Golden Air Castle!

Today feeling ecstatic and whenever that happens a song accompanies. Here it is!!
It's from a movie called "Kalikkalam" where the hero is a thief. He is a Robin hood style one; steals from "rich but bad" people, enjoys the loot  himself and finds time to help poor people. This song epitomizes the feeling of being free and happy within. The lyrics are superb, if I try my dirty translation skills for second stanza, it would be like this,

 "Far off the shore, close to the white clouds
  A lone star that grows pale as one approaches
  A dew drop in the eye, a scent of euphoria within"
 :-D:-D:-D

Today I passed preliminary exams for PhD!!!
I knew it will happen on a Guruvaar (Thursday)!!!

Why is it so beautiful!? Only reason is that now it's sure that I will get a PhD. Had no idea when three years ago, I left for home, that I will be back to do PhD in US. Now I have something to look forward to.

Grateful for all wishes and prayers from sooooooo many people. Especially thanks to my senior here who brought food for me knowing that I skipped it. And also to my Co-Teaching Assistant who let me off from teaching couple of times seeing my crazy schedule! And also to my prof who is soooooo caring (our photo below)!!Wonder why people are such nice!!

Happy also that I haven't printed a single sheet of paper for reading which would have been such a waste. Each time a paper is printed out, it causes a tree being cut to make the extra pulp and paper and I contribute to Global Warming. Managed to read all documents in my beautiful laptop using a pdf reader software freely downloadable.(FOXIT reader).

Be in love, that's the only choice for me!!!
:-D

That's me with my prof at University of California, Los Angeles when we went there for a conference last year. Incidentally when we were there, two blocks away from us, legendary MJ died which I came to know much later!!!
