My Favorite Things To Do in Washington D.C.

I spent a significant amount of time in 2023 living in Washington D.C. While a lot of the year was spent on managing a steep learning curve at work, traveling to conferences and shuttling between Atlanta and DC, I managed to explore DC a little. I had visited DC a few times before, but living here gave me an opportunity to explore it in more depth. I absolutely loved taking the Metro everywhere. It reminded me of living in Mumbai and I felt comfortable and absolutely safe. I took the Metro at all odd hours, even taking the last one at midnight a few times and never felt unsafe. There are several advantages to using the Metro in DC. It connects different neighborhoods in DC very well. The few times that I took an Uber/Lyft, I was stuck in traffic for long enough to regret my decision. On the weekends the charge is a flat $2 each way, no matter how far or close you are traveling.

The SGA took 35 lucky students to Six Flags. Obviously when you take students for an off campus trip, you need chaperons. So, 14 lucky faculty members were requested to accompany the students. An amazing trip......Of course I knew the students were not eager to hang out with faculty, but some of them did manage to surprise me......It was good to spend some time with the students and enjoy rides at Six Flags with zombies, witches, ghosts and skeletons walking all around the park, trying to be scary and at the same time posing for pics with the crowd.....I hope the Halloween Extravaganza next week is successful too......

They want me to tell them what is important for the exam and that's it. Not that I was a great student myself, but I loved to read and I loved some subjects. The others I knew I had to work hard if I had to scrape through. So one way or the other I worked hard. Most of my colleagues happen to think that students today can't read for too long and their attention span is too short, maybe 20 minutes. I strongly believe that today's generation is a twitter generation. More than 140 characters to convey something and you have lost them... completely!!!! With all the tweeting and texting that they do, they have no value for any kind of details.... Get to the point and get through it quickly!!!! Every time I have these conversations with my colleagues I kind of feel lost. I am always somewhere in ...
