San Diego trip

6 people, all from NSIT - will they be able to bring back the NSIT josh?
What was the best part about the San Diego trip?


Was it seeing killer whale jumping up and down in Seaworld?
Well not exactly my kind of fun, infact i realize that i do not like zoos and sea worlds, i think asking animals to entertain us and that too 4 times a day is not entertaining to me atleast. May be i need some fresh perspective.

Or Playing Literature (card game) / Dumb charades sitting at the back seat of the mini van while driving at night? Guessing those cards in darkness or understanding those hand gestures without being able to see them clearly? Well, playing literature was surely THE thing that reminded me of NSIT days.

Was it going to the Seaport village and talking to the man who know how to balance rocks. Yes! balancing rocks one on another with his bare hands. You can see the seaport videos here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM7XVAsbTLk and here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEEuthN4VI&feature=channel I believe he is the same guy as in this site - http://www.rock-on-rock-on.com/ . Talking to him, he told us about the magnetic attraction between rocks, 3 years of his life spent in understanding this energy. Gurshi was also able to balance after seeing him. Pretty cool stuff. [The youtube videos are not mine, i have just taken the liberty to post them here without asking the video owners] . At seaport village we also went to this super-cool kite shop - http://www.kiteflitesd.com/ . They have amazing kite crafts and more - wind mills, magic sticks etc and the shop owner was so friendly, he even showed his tricks. I would have bought something if it was cheaper but super-cool crafts come with a price too. But the shop was amazing - do check their website.

Or was it eating at the Indian places - the gujrati food with its theplas and mouth-watering chaats?
Well it was ok, and any place in US (yes any place here) can not compare to what i have had in India. And when it comes to sub-optimal, algo a is as good (or bad) as algo b. Bad joke! Got it!

Or was it going to Point Loma - the highest point in San Diego and watching sun rays come behind a veil of clouds.
Yes, for me this was the highest point of the trip as well. It was a beautiful scenery. We were standing on a mountain with sea in front of us. It was evening, almost the time for sunset but not quite yet. The sun was there sitting behind black clouds but we couldn't see it. What we could see were the sun rays, piercing the clouds as if they were bullets. You could see the clouds in between the rays and rays in between the clouds. A cold wind is blowing but it is not freezing. No matter how much i describe, you will not get it. There are some pics as well, i will pose once i get them.
