A 7 hr drive to San Francisco and back...396 miles... but very fruitful i guess it was worth it...seeing my friend and their folks so happy...
Life is now about to change...a drastic change am guessing.. no more late night karaoke's, no more sutta's in balcony or on the couch, no more smokanalia in the shack... but i guess everything happens for a reason and this time its KRANTI....
for those who dunno what it means it means revolution ;)
Life's lot more easier when you dont have to do chores trust me... I miss being hella lazy... Leave the glasses on the table, not washing plates, not doing the dishes, not mopping the kitchen...
I hate it when people say "Mama, full on you're enjoying in the USA"... dude in the great country of US of A, You gotta work hard man....
Work at gas stations, taking orders, answering to your boss/owner, filling beer in the cooler, greeting people over and over again the same lines "Hi how r u doin today?", "how can i help you?", "anything else i can help you with", "Thank you have a nice day".....
Fill propane bare hands, the propane burns... they suck dude....
and again go fill up the cooler, then sweep and mop the whole store clean...
and other than that the cash register, a little here and there and the owner is all over you...
who says USA is fun man, am living the dream ain't I....
and all of this for 7 dollars an hour... its not fun man.....
Was living like a king in India, My family bike, car, pet, friends, lots of food, fast food, band and what not....
But then at the end of the day it was my decision to come here, to do Masters in Computer Science.... And here i am, in a small town in the middle of the central valley, travelling 320 miles (roundtrip) to school, working at a gas station, eating one dish with rice for two or three meals... living off top-ramen for days....
But ya i learnt a lotta stuff... Like the essence of Independence and freedom, I realized what responsibilities are.. I learnt the value of money and time... I realized how much people loved me and how much we meant to one and other.... I realized what trust is and who true friends are.... i learnt not to trust people so easily.... not even if you thought they were YOUR people.... anyway

Is the juice worth the squeeze... I guess only time will tell....

Like a great man once said " I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else."
I DONT WANNA BE IN THAT SITUATION......
