It’s been two years since I have landed in US. I was sent to US on a short 6-month assignment which lasted only for 3-months, but was immediately relocated on a long term assignment within the US. During this period met some wonderful people and boy oh boy I have tons of memories to cherish for rest of my life. Made some new friendships which are going strong and hopefully they will last forever.
Some memorable events in past 2 years are:
- My first cup of coffee in Starbucks at Philadelphia airport (First thing that I did as soon as I landed in US)
- Watching US open Men’s single finals at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
- The ELTP-242 reunion (sort of) in Vegas (Myself, Sumit and Ravi though Kiran missed out)
- Visiting Google Campus in Mountain View
- Skiing in Lake Tahoe
- Road trip from Atlanta to Washington DC (Drove some 800 miles only a week after I started to learn driving)
And finally I wish to express my gratitude to few people who made my life in US a lot easier:
Amit Baid - Learnt a lot from you dude (What to eat in a restaurant, How much to tip, which cocktail are good, car driving, car insurance, vageera vageera…………. I guess I can write a book of it :) )
Amit and Sunita: For all the wonderful weekend getaway and weekend games.
Muthu Pandian: Dude thanks for talking to me on all available topics in the world.
All my Roomies and Ex-roomies for tolerating me!! (Iranna, Ranadheer, Venkat, Prashanth, Deba, Gopi, Guru, Hari, Sateesh, Prabhakar and Kunal)
Sunil Shivanand and Sumit kumar: For all the trips we did……. And I know Euro trip is still pending.
Siva and Vasu: For being great colleagues and supporting me at work.
Sheetal: For always remembering me to Visit India (Well I promise that this year I will plan to visit India :) )
