What my friend Umair (the poet cum enterprenure, and MIT alum) had to say about coming to Harvard

Congratulations on being selected to join the dark side :).

I always thought you were waaay too cool to be an MIT grad. Fate, it seems has reversed its earlier twist. It is now you in Harvard Square in all black attire, sipping non-fat capuccino, and discussing east asian art with an eclectic but strangely chic group of graduate students and alums, and casting glances of amused disapproval (with a hint of nostalgia) at the densely pimpled, sweaty rotundity of OLC geeks standing nearby, debating the Asimov influence in Speedracer.

Cheers,

Umair
