Welcome to my travel blog! Isn't it great to have technology to keep track of your thoughts? It will be strange being away from East Lansing and Ann Arbor for a good portion of the year, but I'm hopping I can keep track of everything through this blog. I hope it will be fun and informative as I embark on my travels in 2012. A few notes:
-Disclaimer: I'm not a blogger. I don't like spending too much time looking at the computer screen (good thing I'm best friends with a computer science major! Yay Emily!). I don't even have a smart phone. I'm an engineer - everyone knows we can't write (very untrue by the way...shout out to the technical communications department at U of M). However, I'm up for a challenge. Plus, this will force me to get my thoughts down on paper (screen?). If there are typos, grammar mistakes, or sentences that just don't make sense, I apologize in advance. I also apologize if I'm trying too hard to be funny - I just read Tina Fey's book Bossypants, so I'm feeling inspired to write like her. Hopefully that will die down soon.
-Kudos to one of my best friends, Carrie, for coming up with the name for this blog! My family and I were coming up with some interesting names that were just not making the cut...Thanks to Carrie for saving me with her eloquence and grace. I actually do love Chai (my mom and dad drink chai everyday instead of coffee...we are so Indian), so it works out perfectly.

-Actually, there is a funny story about naming my blog. I was going to name my blog Traveling Karma, but I could not decide whether to blog on the the Google blogger or Wordpress. I decided to make a Wordpress blog just to see if I liked it....unfortunately the URL travelingkarma.wordpress.org was not available. I decided to end it with my initials "sms." To my dismay, this is what it came out to be:
travelingkarmasms.wordpress.org
You can see why I changed the name immediately. Hope you like the new version.
I leave for India on the 7th of January...more later.
Happy New Year!
