This is video from the engagement puja. If you’re interested in seeing what a hindu engagement party looks like, then I’m sure you’ll find this interesting. The priest is speaking in Sanskrit the entire time, which is now considered a written language only.

If anyone is interested in a full HD copy of this video on a DVD, just let me know.

Engagement Puja

Thanks to everyone who went out of their way to attend our engagement party and puja this past weekend. It was a blast! I can’t think of any way it could have been better.

Here’s a link to the entire album of 150 photos on Flickr:

Finally fixed Wordpress!

January 24th, 2009

I apologize for not posting anything new in over a year. Wordpress decided to start being dumb and wouldn’t accept new entries, and I was too lazy to figure out what the problem was.

Since April 8, 2008, a lot has happened:
- I took the USMLE Step 1 exam in June. One headache finally over!
- Moved from Galveston to Austin in June to start my 3rd and 4th year rotations.
- Put up the first iPhone medical calculator on the App Store: Mediquations

- Proposed to Maria on September 19, 2008! Wedding date is set for January 2, 2010.

- Upgraded to a Nikon D90 after sadly parting ways with my D50. The D90 is a great camera, btw. Highly recommended!
- Obama is our new president! I have high expectations for him, but I am sure he will deliver. He is a very smart, highly educated, pro-science, pro-technology, anti-unnecessary war man. That should make for a winning combination!

NASA… Next stop: Mars.

April 6th, 2008

I think by now, it has become apparent that 60 Minutes is one of my favorite shows on television. I try to watch every week, since there is usually at least one story that fascinates me. This week, it’s about NASA.

If you didn’t know by now, NASA is working on sending a man to the moon again by 2020 and to Mars by 2030, and they’re working at full speed. Personally, I’m excited that the US is finally working again on ‘deep space’ exploration. First of all, this will motivate children to study science and engineering, which might fix the engineer drought that American companies are facing. Secondly, this may reignite hope into the heart of humanity, so that we start thinking about the future again just like how we did in the 60s. Finally, it will once again show that if humanity sets its mind on a goal, it can and will be achieved.

The video is 11 minutes, so if you have time, give it a watch. Oh, and I’d like to hear your thoughts about sending a man to Mars.
