It's been great fun for the last month! Other than working on my thesis, and of course, some TA work, I am just having fun. My friend Sumeet had come over for the long weekend at the end of May. We went out and watched a couple of movies...
"Fanaa" was a decent movie; the highlight of the movie was, of course, Kajol - no words to describe her in the movie... totally f***ing awesome! We watched a second movie at home - "Just like Heaven" - this one was just okay I guess. It was a story of a doctor's spirit who still thinks she is alive and haunts her house, where a new guy stays, the guy helps her find out that she is in coma - and finally they end up together! A feel good type of movie and you know I love them! Other than that, we went around the university, ate out and basically spent most of ur time talking and having fun!
Can you believe it - we also went to watch another movie - "She's the man" - a modern adaptation of the Shakespeare comedy - "The twelfth night" - it was good too. A "feel good" movie again - the story of twins - where the female dresses up as her brother and falls in love with his new roommate at school... and a comedy of errors ensues. A good comedy to watch!
The next week, we had a spate of treats - people treating for their jobs and stuff... had good food outside and enjoyed it. My treat was at "India Palace" - around 20 of us had gone for dinner and food was good; anyway, it was the bill that shocked me - can you imagine? it was $500! We can f***ing feed a hundred people back home with such money! Anyway, since we had fun, it was okay I guess!
That weekend, I think we'd been to "Arrowhead State Park" in Oklahoma... We did trekking and stuff there... was just okay!

The week after that, I'd been to watch Fanaa again - although the movie wasn't so good that I could sit through the movie twice, Kajol was the only reason I went for it.
I also watched "Da Vinci Code" - one of the few movies where most of the facts in the book have been maintained and shown as well... a good movie to watch! The book was great, the movie was fine... Tom Hanks has acted just fine I guess, but Audrey was superb. I can say the movie did justice to the book as much as possible.
We had been out on a short trip to "Six Flags" during that weekend - "SiX Flags" is an amusement park here in Dallas... we had great fun there, going on rides - scary ones but exciting! Six of us had gone, and we enjoyed every moment of it, were totally exhausted by the end of the day! One more ride and I'd have puked out everything in my stomach!

Finally, last weekend was the greatest - we had been to Austin and San Antonio. We had been to my uncle's place there in Austin. ' caught up with Sumeet, went around his university! I love spending time with him... one of my closest friends, you see! We went to the State Capital and Lake Travis on the first day. On the second day, we went to the Sea World at San Antonio... had lots of fun there! That's one place you should never miss to see I feel! The Shamu show and some other shows involving dolphins, sea lions were fun! The water rides were good too.

Basically, I have been freaking out for the entire month! Hopefully, I will get all my work done for my thesis during this week! That out of the way, I will be completely free, and I can enjoy life the way I want to!In the midst of all this, I do have these depressing thoughts about what I am doing, what do I want in life and the like! God help me with this!
