Interpreter of Maladies

updating about meI know I havent written in a long time. Wont say I havent had time but i ran out of creative juices for a while. I have been in the US for almost a month now and what a month it has been. I am at the tail end of my summer internship at NY these days and "the work" is the best part abt my US stay until now.
Work- Something I have really fallen in love with. Having been in the work grind before, I know how sick working life can be so it is good to feel refreshingly happy with a work that I enjoy. This, by far, is the most I have enjoyed working. Even if I dont end up working with this firm, I would still like to work in finance. It excited me to make money and deal with it.
US - mixed thoughts. Last time I was here, I hated it. Dallas was not the best places to be on earth but it was the aridity of the life that struck me the most. NY by far, is the most happening city on the planet and there is never a moment when I get bored of it. There are people milling all around, whenever I walk on the street and more than that there is life breathing everywhere. The weather is a sore point but then Cal is million times worst than this and beggars ain't any good choosers.
People- at the company, GREAT. Most people are as intelligent as they seem to be. They are great at their work and they are great to talk to. They mill a lot of money but have their heads still on their shoulders. I would love to be like some of them some day, as intelligent and as precise. So, all in all..great learning. Would have missed so much by not coming (if I would have decided to)
At home, well its my IIMC crowd. Don't want to cross political lines by saying a lot so comments reserved to a later date.
Nothing new to update more than this. Would be home by 11th. After a short stay at Hyderabad, would be at Cal again. Hoping to write something intermittently.
