Friends



I have promised numerous times to put on a blog for sharing our thoughts. Now here it goes.

Before I moved to New Haven, a friend predicted my new life: working like crazy in the gym and knitting one sweater after another so before long I would have bulging biceps and lots of nice sweaters to wear. I wish living in isolation from a bunch of good friends could be as funny as that. But the truth is I am never far from the stress of being a graduate student though I should be the last one to say so.

The above picture was taken on a trip to Monterey. It always has a calming effect on me. When I was weighed down by the dark thoughts common to us, I would let myself go sit on the bench, then, stand up and start wandering by the ocean. Sounds cheesey, but it works:)
