Pune-Bouveret-Zurich-Montreux-Louisville!!

I'm back and in the US (surprisingly). The journey was ok, had one of my schoolmate with me so was not boring at all. Once in US, was so lucky to have all sorts of delays at the Newark and Chicago airport, bad weather being the first. Everything was so mismanaged, no proper notifications that the flights were running late. The transition here was OK, slowly getting used to the American way of life(blaahhh), Europe was and is way better. The only thing is that US is cheaper than CH. I will say that I am lucky to get something over here, most of mes amis don't have anything on their hands as yet. I hope they all get here soon, it will be one hell of a party. All the best to all of them, they will surely find something soon.

I'm in Louisville, KY. Its a cool place, not too hectic. Plenty of stuff to do around here apart from work. I have to look for some kind of a sports club or just a gym. Good food, friendly and helpful locals, alcohol (Bourbon Country baby!!!). I'm content. On the downside, many homeless people here; always asking one for some money, food or a ciggy. One of them even asked me n my friend while we were walking around whether we were willing to share a beer with him in a pub he was standing outside!!! Dodgy!!! The picture over here is the view of the downtown skyline as seen from my hotel room.

Well I am staying in the hotel itself, all expenses paid till I move into an apartment after I get my SSN. Its cool, staff are very very casual; so casual that the waiters even ask each other whether one of them wants to step out for a smoke. And all this right in front of the guests! Well food in the hotel is great, huge portions. Not much to do in the room apart from watching TV. And there is an Indian girl working here, starting at the same time as me. To be frank, she is a bit annoying, doesn't get plain english that much, asks too many questions, has a funny lisp and has no idea of how even the simplest things work in this world. (Murkha ahe!!) Well the only Indian in the hotel apart from moi so no more complaints.

More later as will figure out things here. Plus tôt...

Pune-Bouveret-Zurich-Bouveret-Montreux-Pune-?

I am back! Well not as said but the point is I am back after nearly 6 months. Writing this from Doha en-route Bombay. After a not so comfortable flight from Zurich(which I will miss dearly along with all my First Family/Dudes n Dudettes), I have to wait 17h 30 mins till my next 4 hr flight home. Well this is the first time in a middle-eastern airport, and I came to the conclusion: Welcome to little India!! Well the whole bloody airport is ran by Indians. From help desks, cafes, lounges, the maintainance staff even including a few in security. Well the official language is Tamil and all her sisters from the South! Its so funny,even though pretty far away from mainland India, I feel as if I am home, but I am thinking why am I not home? The announcers have a heavy Indian accent, its funny to be in an Arabic country and hear Indian languages.

The airline has not provided anything for the 17 hr stopover. Opinions were divided if i am entitled to eat food by just showing my boarding pass. Well in the lounge right now, pretty good, comfortable and quiet. Food is ok, soft drinks are unlimited, so if coffee and a limited choice of deserts(no proper meal though), internet is ok as well. All at a price of 40 USD or 140 QaR!! I dont really give a damn! Going home after leaving Switzerland, really sad(will be for a long time,missing ya all since I decided to fly back!!), then on the move again. C'est la vie et c'est vrai!

Well have one more hour here in the lounge, then will go around and have a look. Dunno what I am going to do? Shop? was not able to shop for anything, for anyone! lets see.

More later!!!

Another year (actually two)

Another year, so far some things are going great. Are they?

What the problem is, even I am unable to guess. Its about a person or say several ones. When help is needed I selflessly helped, went out of the way fucked myself up and didn’t ask anything in return. Well if I did it selflessly, then why am I writing about that is the question? I don’t have a problem in helping others, but I just want one thing in return....it is said that a person have friends, I believe that. But off late my belief is in question. I like a girl (whenever) something always has to go wrong. Then someone else gets the advantage of being with or comforting her.......

It has always been like this. Still lets see what happens :)

I will be back....

I can't change the past, so I'm going to change the future. Well I can't see what's in store for me in future, but that doesn't mean it's not there!!!!

Missing you all back home, love you all!
Take care.
