I have always found the roads (and any open area as such) in the USA to be claustrophobic. Soon I realised that I miss the fields with horizon lying ahead. But then I thought why do I miss the horizon so much as I really love greenery and dense forests. Trust me, the roads of this country is overly flourished with those. Missing the horizon shouldn't really make me feel so claustrophobic. But today, while walking through the corrider towards my seventh floor lab, I understood why I feel this way.

I just want to stand in front of a limitless field, with the horizon ahead of me and saying me, "Run towards me. Just behind me, lies your beloved (and sometime hated) country with all your people in there."

So I miss the horizon giving me the reassurance that I haven't lost everything yet. They are just round the corner.

Swept off my feet


Long time back, I was swept off my feet when I was standing alone in a bus stop. A car drove towards the stop, the guy inside it waved at me. Oh Man.....what a man was he......just took my breath away !!! But moments later I found that he was waving at a girl next to me. I sighed ......... and thought.......wish I was that girl !!!!! I moved on !!!!
And today it happened once more........I was again swept off my feet .........literally...... in spite of knowing the consequences.........!!!! And this time what a pleasant experience it was.
Yesterday night, while coming back along wid a friend, he said me to call up my family and friends back home 2 tell them about the experience I had. I said I'll write a blog. But at that moment, I felt like singing, dancing, shouting, laughing and what not. I was witnessing a snow storm. It felt like all the snow flakes were rushing towards the window of the car as if they were arrays of bullets fired from an automatic machine. Then today morning, I witnessed the whole landscape covered with snow......my first ever.......and the excitement was as great as the first love !!!!
I came to the university......tried hard not to slip.......after the class went to watch the inauguration of Obama........played with lots of snowballs on my way......fell over and over again....friends asked me to make a snowman.......my snowballs broke while rolling them over.....they gifted me my first ever snowman .......dropped snowballs towards the ground from the 9th floor roof !!!!!!!! n yes......my palms were aching like anything......i 4got my gloves at home.....n while making the snowman they were so numb.....every moment i was scared of having frost bite.......but at the end.....it was worth it !!!!
What an awesome day man !!!!! Wish it snowed a bit longer ...... mayb to make a foot thick layer.....but yaa....tat's my desire for the next year.....
btw....this is the pic of the snowman we made....isn't it cute ???
