A Post on India is Due....

But you're getting a post on today instead.

I wake up and realize, woah, today's my last legit day at home. I go downstairs, and mom tells me to pack, so I go watch Friends Season 4. The last episode is epic, cause we get House as a special guest, with his British accent, and he acts just the way House is supposed to act. Anyway, around 3, I realize I have an hour to start and finish packing >_>

An hour later, I've somehow pulled everything together in time, and also managed to figure out the combination to my old gym lock (dont ask >_>)

We leave for Union station and get there in good time. We kill an hour eating at the Food court, and then I go board my train. Amtrak is pretty pro, they have lots of leg room, lots of empty seats, power outlets, and I need to check if they have wifi. Anyway, I chose two empty seats and plop down. So there's this Indian guy with family sitting across from me. He's got some kind of asian wife (she might actually be one of the more yellow Indians from the northeastern states) , and he's from Anchorage, Alaska. Due to some misunderstanding early in the conversation, he came to know me as Ram the Gujurati, and I was too embarassed to correct this impression. He talked to me for a while about random things, then I read stuff, and 2.5 hours later, I got off at Princeton Junction. I got picked up and taken to the house of friends. We ate, played ping pong for two hours, browsed random movies, and now I will be going to sleep.

(For the record, this is part of my plan to update regularly (perhaps with not as content filled posts) because I actually won't be seeing you guys daily anymore. You all should do the same >_>)

  3. Ram the Gujurati? I can't imagine how this misunderstanding would've ever happened.

    Anyway, I think that we should call you Ram the Gujurati from now on.

  4. @Ved: Damn, you caught me. Not really though =P. I think I told you at some point that I was going to Princeton for a program before college.

    @Jenny: You can actually manually crack it if you have like, 20 or 30 minutes.

    @Luke: He was saying something to me, which I didn't fully understand, and then he asked me if I was Gujurati. I said, I'm Tamil, which he must have heard as "I'm Ram (mutter)". I didn't realize he was calling me Ram till we were past Baltimore, so I decided not to fix it >_>.

  5. Dude did you end up using the 20min wait time between trains or the 6?

    Lolwat Ram.

    Yeah basically I don't remember my old gym locker combo. Actually I do remember my old old one from like ages ago, but I can't find that lock, and I only have the one whose combination I don't remember.

    Yee.
