Gowri Vilapamu

కదలలేక మెదలలేక
కలుగు బాధ తెలుపలేక
మండుటెండ మాడ్చగానే
మౌనముగా కనుమూసెను
ఏమిటవి? ఏమిటవి?
నా మొక్కలు .

SBD in America

We got here yesterday.

From the memory lane...

I was going through the process of converting old videos on mini-dv tapes to digital versions. I will post them few at a time for your viewing pleasure.

Aditya winning the JHU CTY Award

Sorry for my absence. Since Aditya started in the swim league, days and evenings have become unbelievably  hectic. While he is having fun at swim practice 4 days a week, my time is disappearing in feeding him, taking him to practice and getting his swim uniform ready every day. On top, end of school year means book reports and parent-teacher meetings.

In the middle of this madness, we had a bit of a good news. I made Aditya participate in the Johns Hopkins University Talent Search program. Students take an above their grade level computerized test (at the same place where I took my GMAT, incidentally) in Math and Language skills. He ended up in the "Advanced" level in both Math and Verbal, although he did exceedingly well in the verbal section (98th percentile -6th grade level, Math was 90 at 4th grade level)

He also received an award for being in the top 20% of the test takers in the country. http://cty.jhu.edu/talent/testing/after.html#ceremonies

Here are some pictures from the ceremony this Saturday.

Happy birthday Swathi!

Belated birthday wishes from all of us here.
