This time I’m writing from Austin, Texas. And this is where I will be writing from for most part of the next 2 years as I complete my Master’s in Computer Science from University of Texas at Austin. Hopefully, I’ll do some research too.
At this point I could go into any of the following trajectories:
- Adapting to the academic environment after spending 3 years in the industry
- Cultural shock in the US – no amount of Hollywood diet prepares you for the 6th street
- Home sickness
- 7 wonders of Austin
But any of them will make it an unbearably long post. I must mention my new roomie, Sudipta as he has written extensively about such stuff. He is a second year MS student and a father figure to many first year students.
Here is a video I shot at the Flugtag. AFAIK, it was a calculated stunt and the pilot is still alive.
