My Trip to USA

I created this blog like a million years ago, but never found anything to write about...but here I am, waiting with a hundred billion things in my head to write about - all about my trip to USA...

So if you asked me two years ago, I would probably say "USA...me?? haha...no way"...well, but ya I am here in USA...for a one month vacation...away from work, away from life, away from everything...do I miss it, hell ya I do...I miss it all a LOT...but it is good for everyone to take a break from life and from themselves. It really helps in gaining back all the interest in life and the zeal to move on...

So, Sept 06th 2009 was when I got on to my second International journey in my 25 years of life...I know I just gave you my age...and I forbid you, and everyone else to spread the word around...so anyways, coming back to my flight...my parents came to see me off at the airport...did I cry? NO...what are you saying...pshhh...I'm going to be away for only a month...come on...but my mom did cry...cos she would miss me...I miss her so much too...cos on a routine day one would see me following my mom all thru the house after work telling her about my whole day / what I ate / did / saw etc etc... :( awww...I miss you mom...

Anyways...so when we got to the airport, there was this machine kind of thing where I have to put my suitcase and it wraps it all up in plastic and also insures each box for Rs 200...cool huh...well it was super cool, cos everybody at the airport kept looking at my suitcases and wondering how cool the idea was :-D So the time was like 3.45 AM and I was so darn sleepy, cos it was in the middle of the night...so I finally said bye to my folks and walked thru the immigration counter...I kept walking around in the airport like a Zombie 'cos my flight was at 6.30 and I dint want to fall asleep...so I walked around and saw that they have some interesting stuff to sell. The stores in the city dont have the collection they have in the airport...apparently they have some special stuff cos there are foreigners and ppl traveling abroad who can buy the stuff...pshh...whatever...so after seeing all that, I found the gate I had to board my flight at and then I just walked around...and I found an interesting counter named "Khao Gali" - the ONLY Indian Restaurant around there...with "affordable" prices. SO I had the nice hot Filter coffee...which was awesome :D and then I sat waiting for the Boarding call...I was so bored that I just kept looking at everyone around...and there were quite a few families with kids...AND THAT SCARED ME...cos I hate it when poor little kids keep crying all thru the flight cos they get annoyed of just sitting and doing nothing...atleast the older guys could see some movies and stuff. So ya, and FINALLY, they called for boarding...and my heart skipped a beat (that was soo melodramatic :-p...I know...am just trying to learn the art of writing you know, maybe someday you will see my book on the Best Seller's list...hmmm...I wonder...)

So anyways, I was on the flight to London and there was no looking back...

Little did I know that the "no looking back" was going to be forever :D
