Travelling home...

I travelled home… and that too when I went to the U.S. – funny eh?... It was a totally amazing time. From brush with celebrities on the streets who didn’t allow pictures, to some talented friends (potential stars) and millionaires with cash flow problems who I crashed with.

Starting it all off with gorgeous sunny days in rainy Seattle, flying over the city twice - once with my Bro and then with his flying instructor, which was 20 minutes of mind blowing aerobatics… I was warned not to throw up and funnily enough when we went into the 1st maneuver, I felt the most comfortable I have in a while - time to get the good ol’ brain checked maybe.

Saw Senor Santana at a Nike Store (yes he does wear Nikes) and the store staff asked me not to take a picture of him, he too declined, but signed autographs for us, before he got molested by some Latina on the street.

Great meals and super chill out times in Seattle, followed by the grandness, the noise and the compelling vibe of New York!! Have to confess, it was something different. From the Brownstones of Brooklyn to the madness of Manhattan. The place is something else.

10 things that I will remember from the trip:
1. Beggar holding sign “Parents killed by Ninjas, need money to learn Karate”
2. Shaking hands with Senor Carlos Santana
3. Seeing Heather Graham in NYC (I am pretty sure it was her) – if you’re a guy and don’t know who she is – get a life.
4. Bro doing some scary maneuvers in the air and 2 perfect landings + letting me control the aircraft for 30 minutes!!
5. Great meals in Seattle
6. BOBs and the industrial proportions of alcohol consumed on Fri night
7. Beer – err I mean water.. uhmm no it was actually beer. Finally I saw Stella again.. phewwww..
8. Chee Malabar’s discussions on the social set up in the U.S.
9. Being asked - “Logistics?? Is that something like Statistics??” – When I said I work in the logistics business.
10. Actually felt that I went home, even though I traveled further westward!
