Monday Morning News


 Posted by Hello

End of a travel does not necessitate the beginning of another. But then, when I came back to work today, I had news waiting for me. I was born and brought up in Chennai and that’s where I have spent most of my 27 years of existence. Tirunelveli being my native place, I have been there couple of times.

Since I started working I managed to visit Delhi and Mumbai. And there you have, my travelogue. And that’s as elaborate as I can get. Today, for a frog in the well, news about an overseas travel came as a very very pleasant surprise. That meant my Visa which had been shelved for the last 6 months finds itself in limelight all of a sudden.

Sure am excited. I am going for a Cisco conference, and that means some ground work. I need to cover a Casino and the Grand Canyon in the 5 days I have. I need to make a shopping list for myself. My friends have already given me their’s and Vodka tops the list.

I have seen Sleepless in Seattle,
I have seen Philadelphia,
Now it’s time for Destination LAS VEGAS.
Only this time, it ain’t gonna be some Hollywood movie.

Phew ! Does leaving the country energize everyone like this?

  6. @Smyta,

    Luckily for me the trip is not long enough for me to start missing home... Unfortunately it is too short that I cannot go around places... Well, good and bad go hand in hand right ?

    I do accept that it could get difficult when longing for home creeps in. That's why we have lotsa people coming back. Anyways, I had nothing to complain coz it is just for a week.

  7. @Aarthy,
    True aarthy, In fact I was just discussing with a friend on the places that we havent been to within the country... and so, we have planned for a week's trip to someplace. Just have to come back and plan it out for the 2nd week of July. Maybe I would do that regularly to get a sneak preview of India's tourist destinations :o)

    Maybe the fact that it's overseas and a trip cannot be planned at the drop of a hat is what makes these geographically dispersed places exotic... What say ?

    And yeah... Lotsa posts hopefully. I am planning to pen down everything in a journal so that I do not forget them. This is in case I find it difficult to gain internet access to make a daily post :o)

    @J
    Wherever I go,
    Whatever I do,
    I would live by the promise I made to you,

    Ashish, just in case you are reading the above lines, that's for you too !!!
