The Beginning ??

“I am gonna update my FB status as ‘Longest day of my life Jan 23rd 2012= 34.5 hrs”!!! These words stormed out of my mouth as I was travelling to my destination NJ after a long and tiring journey from my home country. The travelling part felt like a never ending movie that I was unwillingly subjected to watch. I was well prepared to face the cold weather; feeling all cozy in my Jacket. However, the sheering pain in my nose definitely felt like I was gonna get a nose bleed.
I was rating NJ on a comparative scale with the B city. Things seemed a lot different, but nothing different than what I had already seen on the television before. The warm water in the tub helped me relieve all my stress. After a chaotic day, with all the tension of food, calling cards, room allocation and the core chilling cold, the bath tub felt like home.
Shopping cheered me and my friends PK, SS and Naf the next day. We took a bus to Jersey Garden, a mall in the nearby county. We had decided not to convert the $ amounts in INR, and guess that helped us enjoy every single minute of the shopping. By the end of the day, we were exhausted, but still smiling. My friend SS had a small encounter with a cop, who just wanted to have “a small talk” with her. Once he had her documents verified, we got on to the bus back to the hotel.
The next 2 days was not really eventful, we spent the entire day at the office. We were subjected to rigorous training which drained the left over energy out of us. Lack of proper food and sleep added to the misery. The first eve, we visited Walmart to check if the rumours about Walmart being the biggest retail outlet held true. The answer was, ‘it definitely did!!!!’ There was a time when I even got lost and then ended up looking around to find my friends.
It felt relieving to get out of NJ the next day and step into out apartments in NY. Phew!!! Guess this is just the beginning.
