~~Ramblings~~

When I was in 11th standard I wanted to take French but my mum didnt allow me to take than and instead forced me to study sanskrit which was pretty useless as it was an exam were we can write everything in english.

I feel that was a bad decision and today when I was hanging out with group French girls I felt handicapped!
what to do is it worth to learn French from the scratch ?

~~Workshop~~

  I attended a workshop conducted by Bank of England for two days. The topic is about inflation targeting. Its a concept used by around 27 countries across the world where the central bank's major aim is to keep the inflation at the target. UK is one of the earliest adapters of this policy and have been implementing it for the past 20 years.So if they miss the target they have to give an explanation to the government writing on open letter on why they have missed it.

 Why it is important? my director often quotes that corruption or bad governance never impact the people directly but inflation will increase the price rise and it has an adverse effect on the people and will lead to downfall of the government. He often quotes the USSR example that people never bothered to fight the inefficiency of the system for 40 years but when the inflation rose during late 80s people revolted which led to the breakdown of Soviet Union.

All in all the two days was fun and really informative!

நாங்க சிங்கம்ல !

~~OC stuffs(cont)~~

  Last four nights have been crazy and I came back to my room only after 12. Three of the four nights have been in Times Square a place one will lose track of the time.Wednesday was spent with Swetha ,Thurday night was with Sheila and co where the dinner was sponsored by Sundu , Friday night went out with my classmates and one of my classmates said the dinner bill.Saturday night my friend Raj was in the city to get stuffs for me. After hanging out with him in Times sq in the night, we went for a walk in the river then to shopping. He was putting stuffs in the cart as long it got filled. Finally he asked me what else I need, I told him even though I get OC stuffs when I meet people I had to pay and travel in metro,so he recharged my metro card such that I can use it for next few months.

Moral of the story: Good things happen to great people :)

~~Sleep test~~

  One of my professor told this quote "While going to bed think what you are doing now and if you were satisfied with it and were able to sleep properly you are doing the right job". Before going to bed tonight I m planning to try this test but I m already sleepy now!

~~OC show~~

  I have written sometime before "Being a student has its own advantages you only have to worry about assignments and exams, for rest of the things there are always friends and relatives.When they come to visit me ,I needn't play the host card as they sponsor me for everything when roaming around. " Swetha is the latest entry to the list and she beat all my friends and relatives. She had come to New York city as a part of her school trip and I met her today evening at Times Square.

First she introduced to her teachers who then invited me to have dinner at an Irish hotel named O'Lunneys, We had salad, bread and pasta for main course and ended with a cheese cake for dessert. After chit chatting with her for sometime I walked with her to the broadway theater.After saying bye to her I thought let me walk as long as I can to burn what I eat instead of taking the metro.Within 5 minutes I got a call from Swetha that they have an extra ticket for the broad way show and asked whether I could join.Who would say no,as I walked right back to the theater.Swetha's teacher helped in getting seats together and we watched the show, Memphis. The story was an usual romantic story between a white guy and a black woman happening in Memphis around 1950 it went good and we enjoyed it though we didn't understand the way it ended. Anyways no complains for a free a show.

Moral of the story: You have to be at the right place,right time!
