I got a lot of emails and calls about the Craigslist ad and flyers that I posted about the lost rat that I found. Over two weeks eighteen people wrote to me; if anyone is interested in seeing what kind of attention this kind of story gets in Seattle, then read their letters here. More […]

I was at Greenlake last Sunday, June 21, as I often go there to jog and see people and pets. Northeast of the lake there is a park and a community center, then outside the park there is this hang-out neighborhood with coffeeshops, restaurants, fitness stores, and other social places. I was leaving the park […]

I was in DC from Tuesday August fifth through Sunday the tenth. On the sixth and seventh I was in training for my job; NIDA is in DC so they do their Clinical Trials Network (CTN) training there. The training was boring and hardly anything that could not have done by webcast, but I was […]

I really like pudus, which are a type of miniature deer from South America. The exhibit has been off exhibit for about six months due to the installation of a flamingo exhibit, and Lee and I went to see both pudus and the flamingos when it opened. We were surprised to find out that the […]

I did great on my GRE. I made 740 on the comprehension section (top 1%), 720 on the math (top 23%), and 5.5 on the writing (top 12%). I am still anxious about applying for and getting in school. My grades in college were lackluster. I do not have any regrets about my coursework, because […]

Pocket was the smartest hampster I ever had. He communicated with squeaks every day and was loud enough to be heard from other rooms in the house. He squeaked usually when he was angry, which was often, but he also squeaked when he was playing or when he wanted attention. Pocket would chirp from his […]

I arrived at Heathrow on the night of the second. As soon as I was in the airport I felt like I had come home. I was very sick. It was my plan to take the tube to the train and the train to Chia and Kieran’s place in Essex, so to prepare myself I […]

I came left Benares the night of the 28th and arrived in Delhi Friday morning. It is too hot for touts this time of year. I walked all the way through the train station and no one spoke to me. Nandan told me that I could walk to Connaught Place from the station and I […]

At Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle there is this type of minature deer called a pudu. I watched a pudu baby grow up there and I like the animal a lot. I read in the paper about the baby having been born and that is when I went to the zoo for the first time […]

Nandan and I went to Ayodhya, the birthplace and royal home of Lord Ram. He was actually going to a funeral for a friend’s grandfather, but Ayodhya was nearby. I wanted to join him for both events. Ram is one of the most popular Hindu deities. He was an avatar of Lord Vishnu and the […]
