Suramya's Blog : Welcome to my crazy life…

Yesterday (12th May) was my sister Surabhi’s 22nd birthday. Its hard to believe that she is 22 (Maybe ’cause she usually acts like a10 year old on a sugar high)…

We (Vinit, me and Surabhi) cut the first cake at 12 am on the 12th. Since it was late only the 3 of us were there for the first cake cutting. But we did celebrate her birthday properly by going for dinner at Olive Garden on Route 3. It is a great restaurant and the food there is amazing. We got there at 9:45 pm and were joined by Piet, Emily, Pranav, Reema, Sandeep, Hanny and his Girlfriend.

Spent a good 2 hours enjoying the food and the conversation. Then drove home to cut the second cake. After the cake was cut we all stayed up till 2 am talking. Then since everyone had work the next day they all decided to split. I did take a lot of pics and will post them sometime soon.

Now I am tired but can’t sleep. Let see what I can do to pass time till I fall asleep.

Hi Everyone,
As some of you probably have noticed I havn’t been posting stuff on my blog for the past few weeks. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and I blame: Lazyness -> Lack of time -> Lack of sleep (In that order) for the delay in posting stuff on the site.

Site Update:

Site is back to normal. Working on the new versions of the various scripts I wrote (IM2Email, Collage Generator) and should have the new versions up soon.

Life Update:

These past few weeks have been especially good as I have gotten back in touch with friends I hadn’t talked to in over 5-7 years. first I met-up with Karishma (We were in 11th & 12th together) for lunch 2 weeks ago as she is also working in NY right now. The funny part was that we have both been in NY or the tristate area for the past 2 years(5 years for me) but neither of us knew about the other person being in NY. We had a awesome time catching up with each other’s lives. I did take a camera with me to the meeting but got so caught up in talking that forgot to take any pics. 🙁

The got in touch with Shashank (we were in 9th and 10th grade together) on Yahoo Messenger. It was nice chatting with him after such a long time. Wish I could have met him Face 2 face also but he is in India right now so unfortunately that isn’t possible right now.

Weekend Update (7th May – 8th May):

Drove to DC for Ruth’s graduation. Me and Vivek left NY at 3:45 am on Sunday and got to DC at 7:15 am after driving nonstop the entire way. Attended the graduation, had lunch roamed the city, had dinner and slept for a few hours and then left from DC at 4:00 am to arrive in NY at 7:30 am. Unfortunately both of us had work so we left for work almost immediately. (I will post a more detailed version of the trip in the Photogallery when I post the graduation pics)

As you can guess a lot more happened during this time but I don’t feel like typing it all out. If you are very curious email me and I might tell you about it.

Today was a fun night, one of my friends Priya had come over from Syracuse, NY for the weekend. Unfortunately the weather was pretty horrible all day so we couln’t goto the city. We decided to meet at Newport mall and hangout over there. But when we got there Priya remembered that she hadn’t booked her return flight so we (Me, Priya and Bhagyashri) came back to my place so that she could book her flight.

Then Vinit, Surabhi, Vatsa and his friend Ravi (Who is one of the coders who wrote the mono compiler) came over and we all went to dinner at Rasoi where we had great Indian food. After we were done eating we decided to go watch ‘Guess Who’ at Jersey Gardens Mall. It was a decent movie, actually it was a lot better than what I had expected it to be.

Once we were done with the Movie we dropped everyone home as it was getting late and everyone was tired. Now I can’t sleep for some reason so lets see what I can do to kill time…

This weekend was a lot of fun. As some of you know this friday was good friday and Sunday is easter. It turned out that the festival of Holi also fell on Friday. (For those who don’t know Holi is an Indian festival which celebrates the arrival of spring and death of demoness Holika.) So we decided to celebrate these two events by having a small get together at our place. To give us a bigger incentive to have a party we found out that Amit had just gotten engaged to Anu. So we added that to the things we were celebrating.

The party started at around 8 pm with the arrival of Pranav and Gaurav, they were soon followed by Akhil, Amit, Reema and Sandeep, Several people who said that they would come didn’t make it (You know who you are… Shame on you..)<br />
<br />
We spent the night talking, playing cards, catching up with each other’s lives and reliving memories by watching Video’s I had recorded during my Freshman and Sophmore years in college and had a good laugh remembering some of the stupid things we did. We were up till 5 am playing cards and would have been up even longer if Reema hadn’t quit. Took a lot of pics and will post some of them online once I get access to Vinit’s camera to download the pics to my system.<br />
<br />
After spending the day sleeping we (Vinit, Surabhi, Akhil, Reema, Sandeep and me) went to this Club in NYC called Deep. It was an amazing place and we all had a great time. We left the club at around 4:00 am, drove to Newark airport to drop Akhil off for his 6 am flight to California and finally made it back home around 5 am. Which was when I passed out and spent all day sleeping. <br />
<br />
Overall it was a fun weekend and I think we should do something like this more often. <br />
<br />
Well this is all for now. I am going back to sleep.<br />

I was sitting in my room reading a book when Surabhi came and told me that an accident had happened in front of the house. At first I thought that she was joking or had a bad dream (She was sleeping before this) but then I realized that it was real so I went outside to see if they needed help.

It turned out that these three drunk guys lost control of their car and hit the front of the building next to ours, spun out of control and crashed into a pole less than 3 feet from our living room window. Thankfully no one was hurt. Vinit called the cops to report the accident and 4 cop cars + an ambulance were there within 5 mins. The funny part was that the guys in the car disappeared before the cops arrived. I guess that they didn’t want to face the cops.

Vinit took pics of the accident and will prob be posting them on his Blog, so check it out at http://www.logic2go.com

Now its time I went to bed. So g’night.

We celebrated Pranav’s birthday yesterday at our place. It was a lot of fun, Vinit, Surabhi, Paula, Heidi, Sandeep and Dev showed up to celebrate the birthday along with myself and Pranav. We ate the cake, enjoyed the drinks and watched a Russel Peters standup comedy. It was hillarious. (Everything is hillarious when you are drunk but that a different story…). Took a couple of photos which I will be posting sometime in the near future.

Well this is all for now. Stayed up pretty late yesterday so I think I will go back to sleep now…
