It’s important to consider the consequences of occupying (legally and illegally) rivers and nalas without updating the drainage system that was designed in the 1930s. The recent disasters that have affected many areas of Hyderabad are partly a result of our own negligence.

However, I found that Facebook had become quite heavy and commercialized, with advertisements and videos dominating the news feed instead of updates from friends.

As a fan of the New England Patriots, I’ve been following the developments of Mr. Kraft’s case with interest. Before the allegations, he was highly regarded by sportscasters, players, and fans alike. While I can’t say what really happened in that parlor, I’m puzzled by the court order to seal and destroy the videos, as well as the decision by prosecutors to drop the case altogether. As someone who moved to the US to study, I’m not familiar with the American legal system beyond Boston’s sports teams and politics.

When the CTO called up my name, I was like why she is calling me!. She comes near me to hand an envelope, strangely I had no expression and continued with the knowledge transfer session. Back in the apartment, after an hour, I contemplated the amount required for college fee payments, money owed to mates, and repaying a fraction to credit cards. It piled up in the time from graduation till OPT got approved (It would be a good story to share some other time).
