Blogging from Manhattan through a MacBook !

Its been almost five months since I posted anything on my blog. I have been through a wide range of experiences in this period, from extremely bitter to really wonderful and pleasant. I hope to be able to put in articles more consistently now, as things seem to be settling down now.

Its been 23 days since I set my foot on the American soil. I am writing this post currently from my apartment in Manhattan, New York and my happiness is doubled by the fact that I am using a MacBook ! ... I have long awaited to understand the loyalty of Mac fans and though I am very new to the fraternity (just a week), I am beginning to see why is it so. I have been to quite a few places in New York now and I have walked a lot here, which is a big change from Bangalore. This place is a sort of jungle of skyscrapers :) ... with so many people moving both above and below the roads. New York certainly deserves to be called one of the greatest cities of the world if not the greatest, which it perhaps is at present. There is so much energy moving around in this city, a place where people are living to get something done. Manhattan is a very safe place too, you can see girls walking around in streets at midnight. There are "thelaas" like we have in Indian cities, just more sophisticated. And you can see a lot of rickshaws at Times Square and in Central Park, just more sophisticated :) designer rickshaws infact ! ... a bicycle here is something which sets you apart from the crowd, just the reverse of what we have in India.

There are so many observations which I want to put down, but it will take many posts so I will keep them for later posts.

I intend to put some interesting stuff regarding Linux memory management, compilers and some ideas I have. The thing is that I want to put stuff that's my own hack (as I would like to call it) rather than something which you can find on technology sites or Wikipedia. I can't do it today but I hope I can start with something soon.

Its been a very happy feeling to return back to my blog and I hope to do better this time :)
