Last week was pretty eventful. On Sunday, I invited my friend Stephen Goforth and his son John to visit the Memphis gurudwara. John is majoring in Music at the University of South Alabama. He is already composing and writing music, although he still is a freshman at the University. Check his song Tunnel no light here. We talked a lot about western and Indian music and that how fusion music has revived a lot of lost music of past ages.

On the way back we visited Sun Studio in Memphis. It was here, where Elvis Presley recorded his first record at the age of 18. Artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Johny Cash and B B King have been linked to this studio over the years.

During rest of the week I worked with engineers from Apple to setup a new XSAN in our Lab.

On thursday, we invited John and Roberto, the guys from Apple, for a get-together at a local pub, Blind Pig. The night turned into a nice little office social and our guests seemed to be pretty impressed with the hospitality and the “awesomeness” that Oxford had to offer.:)

Friday was a long day. The engineers left and I worked on rebuilding the workflow, imaging the systems and getting the lab back into business. I missed most of the exercise schedule during this week, except some basketball on Tuesday and some Tennis today.

I recieved Rakhris in the mail from my sister in Texas and Canada. I remembered the days past by, the days in India and felt nostalgic for a little while.

Friday evening, department of student life had arranged an ice-cream social, where a 15 minute documentary - Celebrate What’s Right With The World was shown. A beautiful vision and very nicesly shot documentary.

Next week is going to be busy. But for now, I’m enjoying the weekend and reading a book on typography - Thinking in Type. It has been pretty interesting read so far.
