Hi,
After many days I got this internet cafe. Went to NASA's musuem on planes and spcae today. For the past two days was getting adjusted to my new room - a big empty house looks like a hut but is air conditioned with AC, dishwasher, washing machine , fridge etc and a 600 yard plot with a area for dog kennel. Hopefully I will contatc my seniors for job search tomorrow.
People here are very tense after London bombing and look at any Brownskinned person 9esp males) as potential terrorists - bags are checked twice, ploiceman looks you over - so another reason why I have decided to take it easy while contacting people for jobs -- may get unconciously biased against me - due to the recent attacks in London.
Went to Capitol Building today , right upto the steps inside the building -- the only brown young male there -- the two polcemen's eyes nearly bore right through me - though they were far above on the second/third floor. Had a machine gun with them it seems. Only later when I stopped staring at the building and started looking around at the families , school kids and girls around me - the police guys relaxed - perhaps imagining that the guy who can have feelings for families , kids and girls will not be about to shooting or bombing as a suicide bomber. as per TV - NY police have been telling people inside the buses that suicde bombers would look like zombies - perhaps meaning very aloof and stressed up guys (brown, male, young guys).
Nowadays I hardly see any brown people roaming around whereas before bombing all were enjoying life - seems they all are being stared at - whether they are from Asia or Latin America or Africa.
They should all get a thick skin - and roam around with their work -- like fools going where angels fear to tread.
I should imagine that these terrorists have got enough sense not to use brown skinned young males now. Even LTTE used a fat female as a suicide bomber to evade this stereo typing while killing Rajiv Gandhi.
