Dear Sirs and Madams,
This is to alert you that two individuals, named Rajiv and Vineetha Thomas, may disrupt the graduation ceremony at UCLA on Monday, 6/13.
They followed me to the UCLA campus yesterday afternoon, as they have been for the past year all over Los Angeles, including buses and Ubers, over what I am told (by an employee of a company I interned at last quarter) is a public emergency communication technology. (Since then, I've heard the stalkers access it outside LA, most recently an Indian call center location that is mailing me a new multi currency travel card). Their style is to engage the general public in conversation, usually to disparage Indians or me directly, or provide non-stop commentary on the live action on the ground or to mess with my energy by making up a story about the live action that they believe will affect me since I am "open, not closed" and delivering it with the supreme confidence one acquires after obtaining a citizenship/spouse/house/car/kids/job in a foreign land. I am not associated with them (or with any others who follow them, relatives of my dead father, ostensibly to get them to leave). I want to graduate with my colleagues on Monday, June 13, 2022, as is tradition. Since Rajiv Thomas did not respect the Academy Museum on 05/22 to keep quiet during a film screening, and the group did speak at UCLA Store yesterday, I do believe they are looking to disrupt the graduation ceremony as a matter of inexplicable and self manufactured ill-will towards me for letting them know about the Delta wave in India last May that killed my father. They will not respect UCLA enough to not make a public nuisance of themselves. I am writing to you because I do not want the ceremony to be ruined for anyone and I do not want to be blamed for their disruptions, as I was yesterday morning at a nail salon, with microaggressions by disgruntled people in geographic proximity to me.
Thank you very much.
Have a good day.
Best...
Read moreI went to see Tigran Hamasyan play here at Royce Hall and I must say that my experience was rather unfortunate.
I want to point out that while I had a great time at the concert, the staffers at Royce Hall did a relatively terrible job managing the show because while a show is going on, it seems that the ushers let people in as the concert in progress. I understand that this is to let people, who paid for their tickets, in but when it gets to the point that so many people are being let in at 20-30 minute intervals and to the point that the performer himself actually has to stop the concert just to let people take their seats, that just completely ruins the experience for everyone. I truly hope that the staff at Royce Hall is made aware of this because if this is a common practice at the performing center, they should know that letting huge groups of people in during the concert just spoils the performance. It is just rude and inconsiderate to the performer and the audience and it would perhaps be ideal to at least let the tardy people come in at the proper timing instead of...
Read moreI had recently found out Zakir Hussain was going to be performing since I live in Big Bear and the roads can be treacherous, I decided to go I was there a little after 8:30 yes the performance had started but in no way was it sold out people were sitting in the box office with the curtain pulled and said that they couldn't help me get a ticket the people at the door didn't want to do anything, a lot of staff milling about not caring somebody spent two and a half hours to get there and they wouldn't take my money or let me in except the parking structure I paid $12 to park in I'm surprised that parking structure does not have a walkie-talkie with the box office so they could check to see if I could go in just kind of appalling behavior for a performance art place I guess why universities and colleges are getting bad names now this...
