Natural born killer … er … shooter

This weekend was very satisfying, I got to do (only for the second time) something that I loved to do – Shoot. Perry is a small town an hour from where I live. There lives the Owens family who were gracious enough to take me to their shooting range.

The weather was a little too hot but I can’t complain after the fun I had. I tried shooting my hands at shooting three targets with deadly accuracy. Mr. Owens pumped up my ego by giving me his stamp of approval as a natural shooter. I even had something called “snakeeye”, which in shooter’s jargon means hitting the same spot with two or more bullets. I also had a chance to try out a “1911” / Colt 45 . That gun can kick up a big recoil. I did get tired with the shotgun, its heavy and can hurt your shoulder. Well One of these days I am going to get myself a few of those guns. What am I going to do with it? I have no clue, but who cares I am in America and I can have them.

You can have a look at the pictuers and a short video soon at my website.

Till Laters

Graduated …

Well I have officially finished all my Master’s requirements after successfully defending my project yesterday. Ready to be baptized with fire and enter the big bad real world. 20 years of education … That’s a lot I should say. 

The first two years was spent in New Delhi India, at a school called Cornel Central Academy where my mom was a teacher.  Probably the only time in my life when I was on top of the class in academics :D. This was followed by a year of home schooling by my mom who is a certified English teacher.  Then spent a year at Holy Angels Madras.  The primary schooling was done at Loyola Matriculation school. Moved to Don Bosco, Egmore for the rest of my schooling. When I graduated form High School I was so frustrated with studies I didn’t want to continue further. But continue I did,  with my Bachelor of Engineering degree from Thangavelu engineering College. Those were some of the best years of my life.

Followed that up by flying half way across the world to pursue my Master of Science degree from Florida State University. And now I am out of it… Ready to go on to the next level . 

Till later
