Tutakhamund - The king Tut exhibit

Then inbetween the busy schedule soon after exam got a chance to visit the Dallas museum. Speciality included the king Tut exhibit. You may be wondering who King Tut is . You would not have the least idea if you are unaware of the great Egyptian Pyramids. Yes, Tutakhamund ... King Tut for short, is one of the most famous mummies as he was a boy king at 9 years of age. The exhibit depicted the life style of kings that time , the treasures they had with them, the lifestyle . how they were treated. King Tut was treated as the "Living God" . He had a mysterious death at the age of 19. His pyramid was the richest of all pyramids. His Pyramid lay unexplored for almost around 3200 years before they were discovered.

First Month of Excitement

New place, new faces, new culture, new food, new air, new friends, new home, new lifestyle everything filled in lot of curiosity in me. Exploring all these kept myself pretty busy for the first month. More time goes in comparing things.. how they differ back in India. Everything i saw filled me with excitement. I was surprised to find more than half the student population were desis. So far everything fell in place. Deadlines , exams , quizzes, projects, funtime, everything has been good. Hope to have it continued before life becomes monotonous...
