Go Vandals!...

















Go Vandals!

I found these beautiful pics of UI campus, so felt like displaying it here. Moscow,ID was a beautiful place!.. wonder if ever I will ever get back to that place.
Yesterday, my landlady from moscow called me up in the morning and we had a bit of tete'a'tete. It has been a while since I have felt these nostalgic emotions... but the breathtaking views are still firmy implanted in my mind. Hope to go back may be just for once and relive the memory. .. I will look up some more pics to post soon.
This was the first place where I experienced, as if sky was just within reach!.. :-) The stars and the moon appear so near and the sky is so clear in the night!.. Its a star gazer's dream come true. Star gazing with an unexperienced eye, on one of my walks from library to home at 2 am in the night... I almost hit a lamp post, and on another occasion.. nearly fell off the cliff .. but could never take my eyes of the sky.. may be its the latitude effect.. but this place is up in the hills, the pollution free air and clear skies. A must see!
In those times I often used to wonder on the way home in my lonely walks..." I don't know how I finished my studies home, but here there has not been a single day where I did not have somthing trying to keep me awake beyond the wee hours of the night!"... there were even days without a wink!.. thankfully I have only 5 to mention so far... sometimes in those days I used to say "only if i had studied so much while I was home" I would have become a topper or somthing.. haha..
well this attempt at self glorification is not worth its mention...cuz I am not the only one... there are still those poor souls who work even harder than me and have to make do with only 3 hrs of sleep daily...
Ps.. this was just on a contemplative thought..
