Today’s blog post is a shout out to my friend Sneha. We used to work together at Sun Microsystems when I was at the Colorado campus and she was at the Silicon Valley campus. Anyways, we hung onto each other’s e-mail addresses after our internships at Sun were over and met up when I first moved to DC in August and she had just finished her Masters at George Mason U in Virginia. Shortly thereafter she moved to NYC to work on some computer-related thing. So that was kind of a bummer to me, with her being my only friend when I moved to DC. Fast forward several months to this past May. I found a screaming deal on plane tickets to Paraguay from NYC, so I took the bus up from DC, and stayed with my best buddy, Krishna. I met up with Sneha for lunch one day at Columbia University where she works. Turns out she is actually a GIS analyst that works in poverty mapping in the developing world at the famous Earth Institute at Columbia University! Wow! So that just goes to show how rewarding it is when you meet someone neat, even briefly, and keep in touch down the line.
Yummy Cuban lunch near Columbia U!
