Well where to start...
It all began from the Mumbai Airport... A 4 am international flight(22 hrs duration!) is usually a pain in ass... but surprisingly I loved it..May be it was because of "OVER" Excitement.. of my first foreign trip or because I wanted myself to be mentally prepared for the so called "JET LAG", which sadly I didn't experience.... Friends from Pilani wont be surprised.. as i have a record of not sleeping for 3 days straight... so I guess handling the 12 hr delay was no big deal... About the Journey--- It was AWESOME!!!... I doubt if I'll ever forget the magnificent DUBAI Airport. As soon as I set my foot on the American soil,it was something different. You can feel it in the air..! A fabulous CAR was awaiting us at the Airport and took us to our Hotel.
There are so many things to write-- its a bit difficult for me to arrange them....
For starters, I absolutely love this place...!This is like a home away from home... This city so reminds me of Udaipur... a small city,lots of things to do and very friendly and helpful people.
The climate outta here is super. The most vivid memory I have till now is of standing outside my office (which is on the banks of a large lake!) at around 8 PM..on 1 side the sun was shining so bright that I could not lift my eyes to see it, and on the other side moon was in its full glory--I can tell you tht was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, but unfortunately wasn't carrying my camera with me then...I could not help but hum the song--- this is the end of western Civilization...CAliForniCatioN!!!
The Office is great too---Sometimes I feel I'm living the dream I had never ever Dreamt! This company has provided me more than one could possibly ask. If you get to work in a place like this... I doubt you would ever think of leaving office! Many times I stay in office till 6.30-7.30 PM.. just because I don't feel like leaving my cubicle!
Everyone out here will be surprised that I haven't gone to any place yet (45 days in USA)... The only place i have been yet is STANFORD---Amazing place !!! I spent a day there, roamed the entire campus, thanks to a BITS senior, could enter the elite CS departmnt Building (U need a key to enter!!!)... Saw the place where Google and YouTube were developed! even saw the chamber of "Ullmann'(author of our DBSA books!) couldn't meet ne1 bcoz it was a sunday...
Well I guess tht's pretty much... I'm about to doze off! I can't write much about this place becoz I know I have to go back to Pilani for 6 months.. and dont want to get my ass kicked for all the fun I'm havin here!
PS: I plan to go SanFranscisco, Berkeley etc soon...
