The first two weeks in US for the first time

Yes...nah....its Yep... Yep.. I am in the most dreamt place ...The US... In the first place..feels very nice .. feels like as if I have achieved a goal in life...that I have no other bigger dream to achieve atleast in the near future.
In case you are expecting me to write my experience... well...here I go!
I think my thoughts abt it should pretty much match with any first time Indian visitor. The place is super clean, I found people more disciplined and less bothersome about the others even next to them.
You get smiles if you stumble upon anybody's eyes any time.
You hear lot of 'thank you' and 'you are welcome'.
And the traffic is just amazing! India's traffic is nowhere closer to this one.
I like this place...just like any first time visitor!!
Matter of fact...I actually haven’t seen the US fully .. It’s just been 2 weeks....

There are a few things about myself that I discovered and am surprised about it.
They are:
1) I travelled all alone to US... Not losing any of my belongings during the travel...I managed to find the driver who was to pick me up from the airport and drop me at the hotel...spoke to the front desk in the hotel and got the key and checked in to the room all alone..there wasn’t any house keeping guy helping...nor did I have my colleagues waiting for me...for all who know me, can you imagine that I did all these alone? And FYI ,I lost my gloves during the stay..that’s the usual me.
2) I don't find myself missing my dear ones...of course I call them daily and make sure they are doing good without me.. With that piece of information given to me daily, I am pretty peaceful over here!!

I must mention that I feel obliged to my company for having given me this opportunity though I am still wondering if am worth all these comforts the company is giving to me!!!

Well...If at all there is something I am missing in US...it would be Nats...With him I would have had a different time over here....I have no words to express how It would have been with Nats around!!
Back to earth, I am sure I would not have known that I could also manage a good time here without his presence close to me.
hmm... these 14 days do certainly seem like a dream....the airport..the plane...the pathway to the entrance of the plane..the takeoff..all the jerks in the plane...the clouds..fly above the clouds....the crew..transit..the whole bloody place.. the weather...my office.. my managers who I have so far related them with their voices...I got to see them, the appearances that I have imagined for each voice are not even 1% closer to the real ones...
And yes..the snow fall...I saw that too!!!



hmm...I am feeling grateful to GOD at this very moment... And yes all these contented feeling would have not been possible without the support from Nats.... Without him I am not the person I am today!!I love you natu!!!!

Having said all these, there is still something behind my mind...There is something that keeps reminding me that the ecstasy is incomplete and the cause is that my father is not here to see all this and that I could not see a proud father.
That sometimes makes the bliss disappear.
