Am Back!!!

Well, its not really a slumber. I have been travelling and getting used to a different culture. Getting over my jet lag etc etc. This was my first travel overseas, it was pretty ok. The airline (Lufthansa ) was good, the immigration officer at Chicago was polite and courteous.

Over all, the journey has been good. Phoenix, Arizona is a nice place.

Of the first few things that struck me was that the roads here are so damn wide and good. Then another interesting aspect, is that people in the streets acknowledge you, smile back at you. You do that back in India, ppl think who the heck is this wierdo!!!

So far not much site seeing done.

But yeah, been to the snowbowl@Flagstaff, AZ. Now I dunno why its called snowbowl, presumably because of the snow I guess. Never seen so much snow..well being from Mumbai (Bombay) I have never seen snow like this except in movies. So it was fun for a while.

But in due time, the cold really caught on to me...started feeling really numb.

But then got a little acclimatized and finally helped put a head on the snowman couple of my colleagues were building.

An interesting thing is that, one colleague wanted to make a snowwoman, and the other one a snowman. Imagine what happens when both channel their efforts at the same snow....err.. thing ...

Well the effort was hillarious none the less. The upper part was that of a snowwoman, and the lower part that of a snow man. To avoid being kicked by the locals on account of whatever, we quickly made it a snowman... This was it... Then the ritual to demolish the snowman..well all said and done, we finally made it back to the Hotel after almost 4 hours of driving.
