Hema & Me.

The color coordination was all Hema's idea...I swear.

Milan & Neha, Hema & Me

Going for the mafia look.

The Farewell.

The bride and groom leave in an antique Buick (only to come back a few hours later for the reception..haha)

The Wedding Mandap

This is where the actual wedding took place - pretty elegant.

Neerav, Milan, and Me.

Outside the Marriott, at Kiril's wedding, in our Indian zoot suits.

Back from the dead.

man! i haven't posted in forever...nor have i been online...its been tough since exams ended...we had a celebration pool party...volleyball was good although i lost every game...the cook-out was fun - some veggie kielbasa...yum...also grilled sweet potatoes and portabellas...but then the next day we had to clean up and pack up and get the hell out!!

so i got to atlanta on the 16th...and started work on the 18th...been quite busy...lots of legal research and writing going on...plus a ton of social activities...so far i've been to a huge mansion summer party (crazy money i say)...a private screening of the da vinci code complete with free concession stand...various lunches...going out tonight to a restaurant called vine...

well i'm going to post some pics as soon as dix gives them to me...slacker...if you read this - send me the pics!!

Rang De Basanti

rang de basanti...you can learn from this movie...as long as you know hindi - cuz otherwise the subtitles might not convey the raw energy this movie brings across...

the movie crosses generations, religions, personalities, and more....it juxtaposes india's past to its present...and makes a statement - nothing has changed....the youth are apathetic today...not just the youth - everyone is for that matter....the leaders are corrupt...everyone passes the buck...everyone's in it for themselves...no one wants to do the right thing...and i don't know...the movie inspires me to do whats right...reinforces the point that we can't just sit around and watch our lives go by....

we need a passion...most of the world doesn't need to fight the imperialist brits like the indians did anymore...but there's always a cause...always a struggle...what do your life stand for? whats your purpose?

i'm worked up from this movie right now...so i'll stop right now before i keep runnin my mouth...the movie is excellent...great characters...great acting...music...direction...style...finesse...watch it.

Poetry.

i know i promised no more posts...but exam frustration and a conversation with billy inspired this...i'm not sure what it says about me...but here you go...

The pregnant river swept by me,
As if belabored by its watery load.
It seemed desperate to give way,
The floodwaters breaking loose
From its silt-heavy loins.
