Reached US of the A

I used to take the same road to office every day. But in the wee hours of 21st april, the same road looked different, the air pleasant and the memory unforgettable. It was a short 20 mins journey from home to airport that I for once liked very much and didnt want to end.

Anyways, the flight was at 5.25AM, the flight took off at 5.30 something and 10 hours and a big headache later we (mom and me) were in Heathrow airport. And I spent my first dollars there, 10 $ for two cofee, phew!

And at Heathrow is were we faced one of the most gruelling security checks, everything from shoes to belt to wallets were checked. No liquids, only one bag per person, no this and no that. No matter what these people do the T guys (short for Terrorists) would find a way to outwit them, atleast some times.

Around 9 hours later, we reached Newark at 5.35 PM. Sister and bro in law came to pick us up. 20 mins later we were at their home. Visiting a new place for the first time is really an experience I like very much. Trying to observe as much as possible, the roads, the cars, the buildings, the shops, the people and the smell of a new place. Everything had changed in a span of one day, India to New Jersey.

New Jersy has a sort of old world charm. It is not too overwhelming, it is just about right. The houses all reminiscent of the past, ample greenary everywhere and above all the free flowing traffic were the stuff that stuck me the most.

No signs of jet lag till now. Had a good nights sleep yesterday. Was up fresh in the morning today, next one week is probably going to be very hectic. Settling in office, getting used to the place and above all finding a house will be the key challenges next week.

Hope floats!
