picturesque nature from taxotere bridge

Sometimes u just click in right group.. and this time I did ..this weekend I really had no plans but surprisingly it went great. I had gone for an official meet this saturday morning in west haven, damn I had to wake at 6 on saturday since I had to travel a distance of an hour. There I met few TCS guys .. after the meeting we came back to stamford and assembled at sachin's place for an coffee (Intro - Sachin from TCS , guy whom I have just met a few hours back). It was 10 am, weather was great and we all decided to go to new jersy to eat desi food.. It was really descided in an split second and we were on roads .. nobody knew the route .. nobody knew the exits well.. but we were just heading blindly. In between we halted for few minutes at taxotere bridge.. its illegal to halt on interstate, but as desi's we couldnt resist halting and enjoying the view..man what a feel that was, viewing picturesque nature from taxotere bridge and listening to John Denver - Annie's,.. man it was ecstatic.. it was actually tranquilizing and I was just spellbound.. beauty can not be put in words and this view actually substantiated this. We reached bridgewater at around 1 in the afternoon, ate amazing food and were planning to go to edison. But somehow everyone wanted to go back early hence we came back to stamford. All in all it was a great day... initially I was getting bored in here but now i think i am beginning to settle down .. summer has just started and soon lots activities will begin to flow.. people say stamford is really very beautiful in spring.. and hence I am eagerly waiting for spring... Also since its GE's quater closing hence lots of my office friends are coming here from mumbai for 15-20 days and I would be totally busy with them.. so its actually going fine these days..One more update is I think when I will be back to INDIA i would be able to speak mallu .. man my room mate (Sabri) no matter how much i stop him, he goes on playing mallu songs on his labtop... he has actually destroyed my taste for music..:) ...but anywayss hes a very nice guy and a very good cook too.. and hence I am learning allot from him w.r.t cooking.. from dals..to sabzi'ss and now to pasta,,, I think I am doing well ...

Very well said Nitn,
I too said to him. Let some time go and u will settle down and will beigin to enjoy the freedom u have here. This was yours first time out of your house. Everyone feels the pinch, some feel it hard and some don't. However you are lucky that you are at place where you are surrounded friends or by people who are ready to be friends. Each day is a new adventure. It is your coming out of the shell. Your arising. Trust me at the end of six months you will say I do not want to go back. What I will do there???? It is one of the amazing properties of life "To Adjust". This and time will cure any problems you will have eventually. However eventuality itself is undefined ....

Hey Rupreet !
I know this got to be a real SHOCKER for u buddy..... seeing my comments on ur blog for the first time, huh?
Anyways, first and formost i am so sorry i couldnt post any comments on ur blogs due to my busy busy work schedule.
and boy, i must say u do write well, huh !
Its nice to know that u r getting 'adjusted' (like Navin said..... Navin bhai pehchana kya? apun RAIT mein tere saath tha man.)to ur life in pardes. Life is good man........and one can make it better by making more friends. Friendship is a very good thing my friend, probably one of the best things ever !
Sometimes I thank God to have a friend like u..........jyada ho gaya kya? hehe ! and pls dont forget ur old pals while making new ones buddy.
I miss the long calls we used to have here over phone.
Thats it for now, i guess. Take Care. and i will make it a point to go thru ur blog regularly whenever i get spare time.
Chow ;-)
