Trip to my first home

It was three months since I came from Logan. I still remember the farewell in the airport. I missed that place badly as it was my first home in US of A. It taught me all kinds of things to live for. It gave me friends who could do anything for me at any point of time in life. It gave me the strength to handle life. It showed me different diversified people with different characteristics, likes, dislikes, mannerisms etc. Oh my god, I still remember those days when I could not stand on my own legs, having been secured always by family for every other small thing. I still remember the scary night I had the first day in Logan, all by myself wondering whether I made the right choice to leave my family away thousands of miles away. The scary thought of leaving all my friends behind and coming to a state which no one ever knew existed. I always knew I could make friends, but haven't made any staying all by myself in a new country. But look at what I am today, with so many people loving me, caring for me. So yes I am going back to Logan to see those people. I had a bonus too. Had my friend Margi getting married..and wow this was my first gujju wedding and I was all ready to wear the beautiful red saree amma had got for me. I was so much excited for this weekend for all most more than a month and its finally here. I had finished my work early since I was leaving from work directly to airport.

It was a 5 hr flight journey with a 1.5 hr stop over.I traveled thro 3 time zones already. I reached at 11:30 and it was already 12:30 my time back home..I was dead tired and sleepy but I knew I had my bestest friend coming to pick me up which made me awake and anticipate his arrival. I had to wait 1 more hour coz the highway construction as going on and he was late to airport. I literally crashed on the chairs there. But they came and i was back up again all energized and jumping cing friends after 3 wholeeeeee months...

We drove back to Logan and I reached there around 2 am which was my time 3 am but believe it or not I was all fresh :-) Had long conversation with friends and finally hit the bed coz there was a wedding to attend in 4 more hours...Got up at 7:30 and headed towards my friend tanu's place to get the gorgeous red saree over me...yeh yeh..i am bad in wearing a saree..so in a hr got dressed and went to the wedding hall..it was right in the university's alumni center...wow was so beautifully decorated..i just luved the place and arrangements. there was a big mantap and it was all white and red since margi's dress was white and red too..wow was good fun seeing every ritual, stealing groom's chappals from bride-side people and meeting friends who had come for wedding..even got new friends made .[.groom's friends from jersey.]...the evening went by ali forcing me to drive to bear lake all by myself for 40 miles...worst part here was that I had to drive a jeep..it was so huge and I was driving 40 miles in the canyons with cars zooming in the hair pin bends and hey I successfully reached the lake keeping my passengers safe and secure. We stood in the lake for an hour or so since we were just a bt late to rent the jet ski's we originally panned for..After yapping for an hour or so we headed for the famous raspberry shakes outlet but the truth is none of us have ever tried it..coz we all have our own favorites and i in particular am very choosy and I always go for strawberry-banana. I insisted I wasn't going to drive back thro bad curves in dark..so made ali drive back..hes pretty good driver and I have always felt safe with him..Yet another day was done..tht night I could not just sit any longer than reaching home..I just could not c nething else than my bed and went to sleep right away...

Next day was the plan to Lagoon, but i flopped it coz I just could not get up on time coz my whole body ached..but convinced my friends though I felt guilty I flopped the whole plan...but then if I had taken it I could not have come back and worked the next day..so had to make a decision considering how very weak I could get sometimes with low-sugar...but we caught up with good talks..had a wonderful lunch in Olive garden...had my favorite Torta di Chocolate...


We then headed right away to the airport for coming back...since the flight was delayed I not stop yapping and clicking pictures...before finally taking off..was a wonderful trip/..I think could I deserved it after 3 months of being alone...had good fun and there I was 2 am in the morning heading back home to go to office in 5 more hours...waiting for the next big weekend to meet my cuzins.
