I had my last exam of the Semester 1 at CMU on 13th December, 2012. After a very very hectic 3.5 months, I was/we were more than waiting for the semester to be done.!
As
a part of my vacation plan, dusted out my DSLR and set on to explore
Pittsburgh (we get free transportation and entry to most of the places
in Pittsburgh with the CMU student ID card).
Firstly,
started off with the Phipps Conservatory which is right behind CMU
close to Schenley Park. It has both indoor and outdoor gardens and as it
was the Christmas time, there was lot of decorations! Being my first
time for the Christmas it was amazing to see the lights all over the
place.

The
conservatory had various based on the regions across the globe. There
were tropical plants, orchids, a separate section for the Indian
spices, plants and an area depicting an Indian market etc. It is fun to
spend an evening there. We get some fresh air, with lot of kids running
and beautiful flowers around.
Whenever the thought of blogging came to my mind or was suggested by people around me, I was pulled back for myriad reasons. The important and probably the silliest of them being, my indecisiveness on choosing a topic. Standing at this juncture in my life, I felt this is just about
the right time to start off and here I am!
I shall be jotting down my travel experiences and discoveries, write about my findings on various technologies that I had worked with & would be working on, and sharing a little about Music and Photography (because I myself am at the other end of learning curve).
P.S.
The first post is always a special one (of course, only to the one
who writes it) and thus including have my favorite rendition here.
పల్లవి మహా గణపతీం మనసా స్మరామి వసిష్ఠ వామ దేవాది వందిత అను పల్లవి
మహాదేవ సుతం గురుగుహనుతం
మారకోటి ప్రకాశం శాతం చరణం మధ్యమకాల సాహిత్యం
మహా కావ్య నాట కాది ప్రియం
మూషిక వాహన మొదక ప్రియం చిట్టస్వరం ...
