This trip was both enjoyable and filled with few lack luster moments. I had the company of many great friends but missed my wife’s and daughter’s during the entire trip.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">We stayed in a cabin named Twin Lakes resort that is a stone’s throw away from the beautiful and serene lake. Twin lakes is a combination of two lakes that are separated by a small patch of rocks. This beautiful lake is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada’s unmistakable and wonderful mountains on all the sides. During our visit we got to see the snow capped mountains which will slowly turn into a snow blanketed region in a month’s time.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I took time to enjoy the scenic views of this lake by running, walking and meditating in the surroundings. I also spent time to listen to the sounds of the waves that the water in the lake made accompanied by the early morning sun rays that I could bask in both the days.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The experience was marvelous and is something that everybody should personally witness & immerse. This was a perfect Thanksgiving trip as I was able to witness nature’s beauty, introspect and thank everybody in my life that made those moments possible. Though Thanksgiving is a culture from the West, it is sometimes agreeable to adapt such occasions rather than just accepting them as holidays to rest from the grind of work life that an IT professionals has to endure during the week (M-F).</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">There were also a couple of natural hot springs that we visited in the closest proximity of Twin Lakes. One was a hot spring in an area called Buckeye campground followed by another hot spring located in the city of Bodie. Both were completely mesmerizing locations that sparked more curiosity to understand how hot springs work. I enjoyed the conversation with my friends who would each contribute to understanding of how hot springs originate and work. We did some exploration during the hikes and ended up spotting the origins of these hot springs.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Buckeye hot spring was unique by itself as there was a natural cold water spring flow right by the hot spring and it had a clear separation of both hot and cold water springs. It was a “paisa-wasool” moment for all of us as we could get to experience hot and cold water at the same time by switching our feet from one side to another. A picture would do justice to understand this phenomenon. The most interesting of all was a small hot spring located on top of the hill that can be treated as an infinity pool that had the views of snow capped Sierra Nevada mountain ranges.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">On day 1, the evening was <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>filled with fun, dance, songs with a warm campfire that made the day more enjoyable.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">While, the trip to Buckeye hot springs was on day 1, we also visited another hot spring in the city of Bodie, that was unique in its own way. This hot spring had 4 different pools that had a temperature of its own. For someone to enter a hot spring from a temperature of 27F and enjoy several different temperatures in the hot spring was amazing. This hot spring had 4 small pockets of water each with different warmness filled in it. I will leave this to one to experience what I tried to describe here.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">To end the trip, we drove up to Lake Tahoe to witness another beauty of a natural lake that is always bustling with tourists from across the world. A stop at the Emerald Bay vista point and Eagle head waterfalls was splendid as we all got a great view of how the fresh water from the springs ended up joining the Great Lake Tahoe region. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">At all these above listed locations, I took moments to enjoy and immerse myself in the wonders of nature. As a human irrespective of my background, I appreciate and thank the nature for sharing all it’s beauties to everyone. I will cherish this trip for the days to come and will continue to explore nature as always.</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096742477814196023.post-16227919104672408532021-11-14T21:54:00.001-08:002021-11-14T22:06:29.527-08:00The "Point Arena"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been a long time and especially after a great sabbatical from a pleasant experience of taking pictures, I was able to adventure and drive up to the North side of California all the way on 1 North and it was a fantabulous experience. A drive to Point Arena was very relaxing. It was about 3.5 hrs away from the East Bay and was pretty much in the country side of the state. Great part was the plenty of vista points and many places to just chill & relax. Though the entire stretch is meant to be a great place for whale watching, I couldn't get too see any due to the foggy weather when I reached Point Arena. On the way to Point Arena I learnt that this place is very inaccessible to grocery stores and emergency services. So, one needs to be well equipped for any emergencies for their trip to toss part of the state.<br></div><div>Here are few beautiful pictures I got to take on the way to Point Arena,</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There was a museum and a gift store that was open too public.

You know why I call this Ant"elope" canyon? There's absolutely a stunning reason why I believe the name sets well for this place (keep reading until the end to find why). I visited Antelope canyon amidst a weekend that was a trip meant for a grand occasion to celebrate an event with my work colleagues at Las Vegas. One of my colleagues on the project whom I closely work with expressed interest to explore the places close by to Vegas. Though we planned to visit many places we ended up visiting few but the most memorable ones. It was about 7 AM in the morning when we arrived Page,AZ to start out our trip to the Antelope Canyon. Our day began pretty early (as early as 4 AM) as we had to drive from <a href="https://www.grandcanyonlodges.com/lodging/maswik-lodge/" target="_blank">Maswik Lodge </a>(a wonderful lodge maintained by Xanterra group) located on the South Rim of Grand Canyon (two and half hours away from Page, Arizona).<br />
<br />
The beautiful sunrise was the first thing I got to view as we entered Page,<br />

We chose to visit <a href="https://www.upperantelope.com/" target="_blank">Upper Antelope Canyon</a> at 8AM (it was very cold out 40F) when we approached the place. It kept getting colder as we kept progressing inside the beautiful canyon. As we continued getting mesmerized looking at the beauty standing in front of us, my body slowly ignored the chills that were passing through the narrow gorges formed few centuries ago. The beautiful gorges were formed by the wind and water that passed this place. It really is a feast to the eyes to see the colors on the rock and grooves that were formed naturally on the rocks. What surprises one the most is that how nature can be so creative in packing artwork by itself with the natural resources. The tiny openings between the rocks let sunlight enter the canyon to provide a wonderful perspective to the rocky edges in the canyon.<br />
<br />
Here are few pictures I captured during our tour in Antelope Canyon (these pictures would add more story than the words I used to describe),<br />

Well I think the pictures above should at least let you understand my feeling about why I call Ant"elope" Canyon because I was eloped by it's beauty. If you like to get the usual pictures of the sunlight on you, it's recommended to book tours between 11.30 AM and 2.00 PM.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://lik.com/" target="_blank">Peter Lik</a>, a famous photographer known for his most note-worthy pictures in <a href="https://lik.com/collections/limited-edition/products/desire" target="_blank">Antelope Canyon</a> provides a great interest to any amateur photographer to visit this beauty and capture the colors on the rocks. Don't miss exploring this place.<br />

It was straight 10 days away from home away & from my wife, felt really tiring and boring at times as I had no company for such a long time. I had an option either to fly back home or stay at my clients place. Well, after having worked for about two years in Baton Rouge I had visited New Orleans downtown only for couple of hours just to feel the vibe but never experienced it in total. Both the times I’ve been to this city it was only Bourbon street that I explored. This time I had decided it’s no longer going to be Bourbon but everything else. The most special things of all I've done in the trip was to visit many hotels in the area. Surprised??? Yes, I make my trips random and I usually don't have a long list of places that I choose to visit. That's how it's been for sometime now and this is how usually I enhance my trips by visiting random places that are less spoken or less visited by tourists.<br />

<br />
An afternoon in the Esplanade Avenue & Esplanade City Park: This was a tiny stretch of a lake / canal passing through the city and is the closest to the New Orleans Museum of Art. I found few strange birds which I’ve never seen and a turtle which was hiding away from me as I approached it 😊<br />

I was welcomed by a gentlemen who approached me and asked if I’m an Indian. The moment I confirmed my origins, he started appreciating how well he was treated by few Indians when he was in Sweden some time back and started treating me with high respect. He gave me wonderful tour with the history this place has and how it became popular. The courtyard used to be an auctioning place by whites to buy black women in the 1800’s. Today’s lobby was actually a carriageway through which auctioneers would enter and disembark into the restaurant. Today the hotel attracts many tourist for its historic identity and the rich memories one has by eating under a tree which is about 165-185 years old. There’s a Devils well which is known to have been a famous place for a Voodoo lady to have performed sacrifices long time back.<br />

So does SF stand for SanFrancisco or SalesForce?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
It was a beautiful afternoon in the bay area. One of my colleague at work planned an architectural tour of San Francisco. I have been to a similar one in Chicago and wondered how well thought the city was beautifully constructed. These architectural tours usually leave anyone to deeply think about the stories of the day (century or few decades from today) that lead to the construction of the then skyscrapers. We began our tour at the very historic <a href="http://www.jdvhotels.com/hotels/california/san-francisco-hotels/galleria-park-hotel/" target="_blank">Galleria Park Hotel</a> at around 2.15PM when our group begins to fill the lobby. Our guide for the day was the best architectural historian I've met, i.e., <a href="http://www.architecturesf.com/" target="_blank">Rick Evans</a>. So, let me begin with this part and expand into what we've seen during the tour. Most of us walk around the downtown just gazing at the beautiful structures around us but would have never noticed the public spaces. Yes, Rick calls them <a href="http://sf-planning.org/privately-owned-public-open-space-and-public-art-popos" target="_blank">PoPOS (privately owned Public Open Spaces)</a>. There's a very interesting story behind it, use the link to explore them and make sure you visit them when you're are around in the downtown area. I'm short of words to explain the concept behind the <a href="http://tyttscholarship.blogspot.com/2014/11/oddities-of-san-francisco-popos-and-air.html" target="_blank">air rights</a>, so please use the story of a former participant of this walking tour to understand how the old buildings in the downtown area sold the air rights to help their neighbors build high-rises. As we began looking at the old and lovely buildings around us, we walk to the roof top of Galleria Park hotel to get a view of the Hallidie building to understand the surprising story behind it's current tenant and it's actual owner who let Polk design an intriguing style of constructing the building with the glasses as the face and columns behind the glasses. For someone like me I didn't even understand why would it make difference if the glass stood first or the concrete column. But, it seems to be an interesting idea per architectural design. Then we proceed to roof garden from the galleria park mall to get a grand view of the Hobart Building, <a href="http://www.artandarchitecture-sf.com/the-first-national-bank-building.html" target="_blank">Well Fargo Bank</a> (formerly the <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Crocker</span><span style="background-color: white;">-Citizens National </span><span style="background-color: white;">Bank</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold;"> </span>also know as the gateway to the Wall Street of the West). Next stop was the gigantic Sales Force Tower built recently in San Francisco, this is where the blog title comes from. There's an incredible structure next to the tall tower that started tilting due to the recent construction activity and to everyone's surprise the million dollar property started losing it's value due to the hollowness that started to develop due to the drilling activity for the Sales Force tower and beautiful transit tower. Few pictures illustrating the tilt of the tower I'm referring to (you can notice Rick Evans in one of the picture)<br />

<div dir="ltr">
Off-late when I arrive into Chicago I always am undecided if I have to take a taxi or an Uber ride back home. Today I was just so driven towards the taxi stand. There wasn't any one waiting for a taxi when I reached there so I jump into the first one that's available. <u>On</u> a normal day the airport guys would just direct me towards the taxi I need to get into but it was so unoccupied that one opened the trunk and the other was ready with the door open. Couldn't ask for more . So, the moment I get into this taxi, as usual I tell the address and pause for a moment. It was an old guy driving the taxi and he confirmed if the address was in downtown. We start our ride with the usual greetings and lead into a conversation about how his day was and then he reciprocates with how my flights was and the weather in the city I was flying in from. Then driver (Luis) begins to tell me about his family. I was abacked when he began talking about his family without notice but I slowly started to pay attention as it tended to be interesting. I decided I would take it as a challenge to remember things he would talk and act as an active listener. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is the reason that drove me to write this post today after a long time. So, Luis who may be in his late 60's virtually introduces me to his family of 8, him being the youngest kid. He has roots in Puerto Rico and his brothers moved to Chicago when they were in their 20's which I believe would have been around 1950-60's and they were working in the steel industries. Most of his family moved to Chicago in the later part, actually when Luis was 5 and his mother was already separated from his Dad. Luis was so young that he had a nephew of his age. Luis's dad also had an affair with another woman in Puerto Rico and has a step brother from the other family. He painted a good picture of his childhood, of his beautiful countryside <u>life</u> , his childhood days when they had a cow for milk and chickens at home. That reminiscences are very common to all immigrants and we all miss our life back at home where it's simple and close to nature than how actually things change when one moves to the US. He then goes on to describe his life in Chicago and how one of his elder brothers became rich, his businesses in New York (grocery stores, real estate) and his kids who landed in jail because of their involvement with drugs. His brother was so disappointed with his kids that he told the entire family that none of his kids would inherit his earnings, that was a little sad to hear but also helped me imagine how families break apart as one chooses to delve and live the wrong way. We slowly move on his taxi career, he tells me that the taxi licence (medallion) cost him 50,000 USD and cost 400,000 USD at one point. This brings us to the current situation how Uber and other ride sharing services have dramatically changed the landscape of transportation. The figures in New York blew my mind as they were at 1 million at one point. Can't imagine what things technology can do, we were always told technology was meant to simplify lives but when I introspect it appears that we choose to complicate our lives by living for technology than it easing our way of lives. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then, the story why Uber is striving in Chicago, this was interesting as I would always hear this from many taxi drivers that it's the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel" target="_blank">Mayor Emanuel's</a> family that encourages this business, can't comment on it unless we have something solid to verify. It seems that the Mayor is the one backing the ride sharing business and causing trouble to the taxi drivers who dream of earning money from this profession, the benefits they had in borrowing money from banks and what not, they can't avail those today because there isn't any guarantee that the borrower would be able to pay it back. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
This part was interesting as we digress to talk about Mayor Daley who played a key role in Chicago's development. Luis suggested me to read a book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DYX9MJU/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1" target="_blank">Boss</a> to learn more about the contributions that Mayor Daley has made to the city. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When Luis said he was Puerto Rican, it rang a bell in my mind about a talk I heard on the radio last weekend and it was on <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Lords" target="_blank">Young Lords</a>. He was quickly able to associate himself when I took that name and started to recall those days when the gang had an impact on the local community and crime that happened then. He told that he lost many friends of his when the group was active and the Police would crackdown the folks associated with the gang and how people died in the shootings. Luis told me interesting facts about the <a href="http://palante.org/AboutYoungLords.htm" target="_blank">church</a> that was raided and occupied by the gang to run their operations. This landmark site it seems was demolished recently and has a Walgreens store constructed at the same site. He added that Walgreens always does this and they always love to occupy such sites. Then he comments on the Puerto Rican population in Chicago and says that Mexicans currently lead the number of immigrants followed by Puerto Ricans and then come folks from Venezuela. I remember from my walking tours in the city that Polish and Italian were early immigrants that settled in the city and had run great gangs that became to be popular and one important figure one would have heard was <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone" target="_blank">Al Capone</a>. I got to learn that it was also the Irish that were the first settlers in Chicago, way earlier than many other immigrants that had moved here.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
We then moved on to Puerto Rico and he would tell me that he recently read a book on HISTORY OF PUERTO RICO and learnt that the country was discovered by Columbus and was part of the USA after the war between US and the Spain many years ago. Many folks in Puerto Rico had fought against the US government for their rights and wanted to be separate. He told me that many people turned into rebels and killed US senators to express their grief. That's when he mentions about <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_L%C3%B3pez_Rivera" target="_blank">Oscar Lopez Rivera</a><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_L%C3%B3pez_Rivera">.</a> Obama recently commuted the sentence for this popular Puerto Rican nationalist who was given a life sentence for the crimes he had committed in the past. Luis told he was imprisoned sometime in the past and that was when he got access to this book that details of how the country came into existence and how US would recognize it as a state. He told me that the first governor of Puerto Rico did try his best to bring employment to the island by setting up industries but a wrong choice of having plastic and low profit making ones that didn't survive much given the pace of the economy instead should have had steel mills. The current economic situation of the country is dire and is struggling to cope up with the debt.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
To digress the topic I decided to talk about the food and Puerto Rican cuisine and he said his mom was the best cook he had known in his entire life as she made savory rice and beans with pork. An interesting fact he pressed was the native folks don't depend much on sea food though they have access to abundant sea food in their vicinity. They mostly prefer rice and seasoned beans. He quickly compared it with the Mexican cuisine and told me that both taste different and Puerto Ricans cook the beans differently than Mexicans and his dishes taste better.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We did talk about <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/24/politics/donald-trump-chicago-carnage/" target="_blank">President Trump</a> early in the conversation and it was about the federal government deciding to send support to the local Chicago administration if they wouldn't be able to handle the killings and crime in the city. The city reported record number of incidents in 2016 and has become an unsafe place for residents. I too wonder why the Obama administration paid a blind eye to the worsening situation. We also discussed about the <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obamalibrary/ct-obama-library-site-jackson-park-met-20160727-story.html" target="_blank">library</a> that Obama plans to build in Chicago.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
As we were approaching the downtown he made reference to the city's landscape and how the apartments and condominiums had come into existence. He said that the real estate companies had initially built numerous sky scrapers in the city thereby increasing the taxes for the residents early in the day and pushed them out. While the <u><u>city</u></u> expanded they also realised it's time that they constructed apartments and open stores for people to live in the downtown. Here's the part that I didn't know, it happens that every new property needs to set aside 10% of the property for the low income community which is mostly the African american population. So, he told that there are folks that used to live on the south side of the city now get to live in beautiful homes because of this arrangement.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Well that's what I could remember from our short journey from airport to downtown but it was definitely a trip to remember. I felt as if I was talking to my grandad and had <u>learnt</u> a lot of interesting facts of the city I currently live in. With the changing lifestyle and preferences that we make I don't know if I'd be able to meet more people like Luis and know more things. I guess now you'd understand why I used the title "a journey in <u>a</u> taxi".</div>

Bunch of bad a**es on a random road trip for 10 hours each way, that's the best I can shortly describe about out trip. The Blackkeys, Paul McCartney, Joe Rogan, Aziz Ansari and Bill Burr (that's the music and stand up we heard our way). Well, most intriguing part was the instances when we lost our ways and kept adding couple hours to the trip each way was a funny moment when both of us tried to find whom to point the fingers at. We tried so hard that we gave up and continued to drive each time it happened. Jays hard attempt to get the Pokemon Go's on the highways was a little frustrating as he couldn't get what he expected out of the long drive, the game would only show him few tiny and trivial things which he had already gotten. But he wouldn't give up and kept trying though. Our unintended route through Evansville helped us go by Henderson and on our return trip we got to drive by Bowling green (both are places where Jays grandparents lived and where his mom graduated). It sounded similar to the way I or my dad would keep discussing the places we pass each time we go through a town when we travel in India. As his family is from here (the US) he had stories about the states of Kentucky and Tennessee. After our victorian attempt to make it to Nashville, Jay abruptly decides not to knock on the door of our aunt. I was shocked as it would personally be ok for me to knock (Indian culture thing) at any time, but, my bro was American. Couldn't start a war (of words) now (it was 4am and we were both tired anwyays), so I said I'll text her and he agreed with that plan (I was a little relieved that we at least informed them that we arrived). Then my guy decides to sleep in the car and he was so tired that he started roaring (I mean snoring). Oh man, it was such a thing that I couldn't put up with in a short time, tried bearing it, but, gave up and told him I'd drive to the downtown to use the time to take few pictures (time for my crazy adventures). God sent, he agrees (which was a blessing for me). We drove to the downtown, but, well as I said right at the beginning, he got down to playing his game and I was down to finding the spots to get my desired picture of the downtown that's all over the internet when one searches for Nashville.</div>

To get such a wonderful sight early in the morning was surely a pleasant gift in the entire trip I believe. We were debating about walking around the town for some more time but decided to leave after walking for few miles.</div>

So, finally we make it to aunts place (she would surely beat me that I called her aunt, she actually is sister in law to me and aunt to Jay) and crash for a good next five hours. On our way to their place we decided to wake up in three hours (but only realized later that it was a distant dream). But, it was a true test for me to see how long I would be awake and I proved to myself that I can be awake for a straight 24 hours at once.<br />

Our cousin was such a sweet person, she actually made few Indian sweets which I proudly finished by the end of our trip and she prepared lovely pooris and aloo curry to satisfy our famished inner soul (tummy I mean). I happily went back to bed after confirming that we would have another feast that night at P.F.Changs and a movie of the Indian Rocky - Sultan (Jay and I liked the ShitGuy episode). While I was asleep after lunch, Jay and my little cousin got busy playing Pokemon on Nintendo DS (I was just thinking that these gaming companies just know how to keep people engaged but in virtual world and not in the real one).</div>

As, it would have seemed, it surely was another long day that continued to early hours next day. I was active yet again and as I had mentioned I still had good amount of charge left in my batteries (I suddenly felt I was carrying a bunch of Duracell's inside me), else, I'd normally be yawning if it were to be in the past. We decided to drive to the downtown again to see the night life and by the time we reached there, to our surprise the bars already had people leaving, so rather than for us to peep into the bars to see the gorgeous and pretty girls, we actually had all of them waiting for us on the either sides of the street that added more beauty to the Broadway street.</div>

As anyone could imagine, both (of us) lazy night owls ended up waking at around 12pm the next day. Time for a light breakfast followed by a sumptuous lunch again. Our aunt was busy preparing our favorites to make sure we had the best home cooked food. After lunch, we managed to fix a plastic holder for the bird feeder my cousin had at her place and we think we were able to fix the way what they actually thought of having (fingers crossed, I'd only know until it rains this season if it can withstand the water). Both Jay and I tried to apply our rusty engineering skills (electrical and information technology, just for your information) to see if we were able to use them practically.</div>

Our inquisitive minds suddenly decide to visit Cracker Barrel where we happened to realize that both of us were true geniuses. It took us good 1400 miles and a stop in Kentucky to know how smart we were. If you've already been to Cracker Barrel, you must have played the Peg game that's what I'm talking about (we didn't actually trade anything or smartly escape with bourbon). That's my dinner with the peg board showing off my genius skills (of serendipity).</div>

The next few hours which actually or normally were something I supposed would be so normal, until which time we encountered a heavy flash flood during our drive through Indiana. We suddenly were hit by a heavy rain and I was behind the wheel at this time. I never rode a car through a heavy rain, but, what I only remember was it was safe to drive into an exit to avoid any incidents of drowning (a mere exaggeration to what actually was the situation though 😜). But, my partner in crime was actually giving me logical reasoning to not enter the exits guessing that they normally would be low lying areas which are more riskier to enter and rather recommended to continue driving.<br />

What happened next was something we both will remember for days to come and will surely be a story for us to discuss in future (hint: girls and marriage). Don't worry we were having an enlightening conversation to realize what perspective each of us had on a variety of topics.<br />

And, finally a selfie that we took with the lovely family that hosted two crazy bachelors over the weekend.</div>

The journey began from Holstebro on Friday evening. We were four and travelled in the DSB express train that reached Copenhagen in about 4hrs. We had great time enjoying the countryside view of the country and great wifi connectivity on the train ( anyways we got to sit on first class coach) throughout our entire journey made it more pleasant after a busy day's work.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Day1: Started our tour of the city with a <a href="http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/sightseeing/boat-tours">boat tour</a> followed by two wonderful <a href="http://www.copenhagenfreewalkingtours.dk/index.html">free walking tours</a> (<a href="http://www.copenhagenfreewalkingtours.dk/index.html#classical-tour-of-copenhagen">classical</a> and <a href="http://www.copenhagenfreewalkingtours.dk/index.html#tour-of-christianshavn">tour of Christianshavn</a>) that covered the markets of the city and few historic places such as the <a href="http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/round-tower-gdk410741">Round tower</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Copenhagen">University of Copenhagen</a> (I was reminiscing my classes at school reading about the famous physics formulas when we reached the statue of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr">Neils Bohr</a> at this place). The city has history dating back to 16th century and has many places that still restore the happenings. The tour ended at this wonderful eatery market where we had spelendid time eating hotdogs, Mikkeler & Friends, a Cinnamon Roll and a lovely carrot cake.<br />

After our first tour we spent a couple of hours visiting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Jensen">George Jensen</a>. Right in the middle of the market place was this beautiful women in a gorgeous attire, ended up getting few flying kisses.</div>

Then we did the next free walking tour that took us to the parliament, christianshavn church, the tower representing the city of Copenhagen on the Danish currency. The most interesting part was our visit to Christiania / Christianshavn. Things that I remember from our guide was that this place is exclusive in terms of how the residents get an entry and still don't follow the constitution of Denmark. There were signs all around to not take pictures or run (running meant that there's cops around). After a long stroll in the city we decided to have some <a href="http://southindian.dk/">South Indian food</a> for dinner, which turned out to be a wonderful one as the food was delicious and was prepared to satisfy our palate (as one of my friend described, "a deepam dinner", as it accompanied a candle).<br />

On our way back to our hotel we got a taxi, this one seemed to be one of the funny experiences. All the while we took advantage of Uber and suddenly one of my colleague was so tired she just decided to call a taxi. The driver, an afgani, started making fun of bicyclists from the moment we asked him about the cycling culture in Copenhagen. He seemed to be so frustruated with the bicyclists in the city, he compared them with mosquitos and infact was telling us about this fat guy he saw the other day and called him a mammoth who covered the seat of the cycle between his a**. The way he described this was very hilarious and tickled our funny bone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Day 2: We began our day with a short tour to the international food market by Nyhavn, we got to see a variety of stores from France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands and UK. To enhance our treat we had this belgian waffle with nutella spread which was amazing.</div>

After our little trip to the market, we continued to walk towards the palace and to the famous little mermaid. If you're thinking why this post begins with "a fairy tale", it's because of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen">H.C.Andersen</a>.</div>

And, now begins our 1 hour tour to the city on the most preferred transportation in copenhagen. So, my friends and I turned into mosquitoes to explore the rest of the places we wanted to. As our trip was approaching its end, we decided to visit the Rosenburg castle.As I mentioned earlier, the city has history as early as 16th century and these structures were very well restored despite the city undergoing few fire accidents few centuries ago.</div>

Our lunch at Nyhavn was a fabulous treat after having spent a long afternoon and were almost winding up the tour. This was when I took some time to visit the <a href="http://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/lego-store-gdk496953">Lego Store</a> in the town as I wasn't sure if I would get a chance to visit the Legoland (more about this in my post on Billund). </div>

A bunch of old friends with no plan just end up meeting in this musical city. I was in St.Louis at my uncles place for the weekend, and my childhood mate calls me and tells he will be visiting me in a couple of hours to leave to Nashville. We had no clue what we'd be doing there. I heard from someone in one of my conversations that this city has a great history to country music.<br />
<br />
We started driving to this city in the afternoon and reached by dusk. The first thing we did was to visit the <a href="http://www.tnindia.us/hindu-temples.html">hindu temple which has one of the biggest installations of lord ganapathi</a>, the picture below with Indian Graffiti / Rangoli was taken at the entrance of the temple as they were busy working on the 50th anniversary of the temple. We met another friend here and it felt great meeting two old school friends after many years. Now it was time to visit the city and experience all the stories I've heard. We stayed at midtown for the night and after a slight break we all changed our attire as if we were ready for the Hangover experience (I had this song "Right round" going in the background). It's funny at times that I recall my favorite songs to the occasion and just enjoy the flow.<br />

We drove to the Broadway street which to our surprise was a short alley of bars. But, we slowly began to explore the streets and realized that we were wrong from the first sight we had. It such an amazing experience when you listen to music every few feet you pass on Broadway. I lack words to express what music is capable of doing to a human mind (especially me). I almost have a hangover when some tunes strikes a chord with me.<br />

Our excitement was incremental as we kept looking at the crowd in the bars and we weren't perplexed to see the energy and confused in deciding which one to enter. It was a mere chaos and as a happenstance we enter a cowboy style bar - Tequila Cowboy. On our way to this bar we hit few spots for us to pose with Elvis and watch a street side magic performance. Many funny moments on the streets and limitless white girls to add more treat to the eyes.<br />

We were all having fun at Tequila Cowboy for such a long time that we lost track of time and left at around 3 to see a woman a funny spanking streak on the street. As I mentioned earlier there is music all over and few designated spots for<br />
bands to perform their music. I happened to stay at many places just amazed at the impromptu / live music performances. After a long night we decided to return to our hotel to wake up to a lavish breakfast buffet at the hotel were staying (perks of working at a consulting firm - gives you a great rewards).<br />

Then we continue to drive to the downtown again to see the morning view and towards the capitol hill. My aunt recommended us to visit the Opryland resort, which was a beautiful space in this music city. Though it isn't a preferred place for bachelors (unless for a private bachelor party). We saw only married couples (old and young - no barrier to age I believe - simply married ones / may be people who've come there to date). But, we did happen to take advantage of the place and took few photographs (that's my way to enjoy the sight, for people who know me personally, they can quickly associate to what I'm talking about).<br />

<br />
After a long day, we drive to this Indian restaurant called Bawarchi (don't be surprised, it isn't the off shoot of the Bawarchi in your town, this name is common for a restaurant which claims to be a specialty in making Biryani ; Hyderabadi style in many cases). We were so famished that we didn't quite realize the quantity of food we ordered until we saw the dishes arriving to the table. We literally didn't have enough space to accommodate the well cooked and delicious treats at this restaurant.<br />
<br />
After a special lunch and a morning at Opryland, we decide to drive back to St.Louis with a great collection of classic Telugu music that one of my friends had with him.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This journey begins from the Wild Wild Mid-West Wichita. It was a Friday afternoon after an eagerly awaited weekend to meet my cousins at Philadelphia. I had mixed feelings when I made the reservation because it was a five hour journey including the layover at Denver. Wasn't sure how I would pass my time. Made my preparations the night before by downloading a couple of playlists (Best of 2015) on Spotify to accompany while reading "the devil wears prada". It's as usual, reading a book eases me into a comfortable nap. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wake up suddenly when my subconscious mind tells me "Dude you better be reading the book or watch the view from the window seat". So then I begin multitasking to comfort myself and take pride in accomplishing two things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As usual I don't plan things in advance as I enjoy the moments that happen randomly. There is a lot of happiness that comes from randomness because you end up realizing that you have achieved something you haven't dreamt of.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So,finally we start approaching Denver airport and many thoughts in my mind of how to spend the next two hours. So, about ten minutes away from landing at DIA I start observing the beautiful landscape around and I become a kid. My reflexes are pretty quick when I see a beautiful landscape. The book goes into the pouch and the iPhone comes out to capture the moments as we pass through.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now begins the collection of pictures that I started taking after I decided to spend my time differently at the airport. More to come after a couple of pictures.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wondered for a moment if I were looking at the farms or polka dots on the land we were passing by.</div>

<div>
This is just the part until I entered the airport. So, I started thinking what do I do for the next two hours, a. Continue reading the book, b. Look around the airport. Then I google for "Interesting things to do at Denver airport" and the official webpage for the Denver airport </div>
<div>
appears atop the results. That's when I see a couple of things to do. Of all those were listed two things interested me a lot. They were a. A great view of the Colorado valleys from Terminal C and </div>
<div>
a great way to complete a good walking exercise walking through the three terminals. So, with no hesitation I start walking towards the terminal C. First things that attracted me was the statue in the below picture.</div>

Then I follow the signs to terminal C on my quest to make it to the place that was described to be very scenic and I stumble onto the following bird that was at display.

<div>
This was totally unexpected but I ended up spotting a new thing at the airport. That's not the end, you know I'm on an adventure. It was just close to 30 minutes</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">and I take another decision. What if I cover all the terminals within the next one and half hour. It felt amazing. Now I continue towards the gates in C terminal where I could get the view that was described in the website. As I approach towards the gates I see it started to rain heavily. This was a total bummer to me. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">But I settle looking at the view and droplets that settle on the glasses by the gates. It did leave me with a good feeling of looking at the outdoors in a better view.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Rain or shine, I keep walking under the roof, enjoying the stroll. Now, towards the other end of terminal C. There wasn't much to the other corner. It's time for Terminal A. I continue towards the train and exit in Terminal A. First thing that strikes my attention here, raise your head and you'll look at these sculptures placed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">And, it was almost time that I travelled to the other terminal else I would be putting myself in a difficult situation if I arrive when the boarding begins.So, I now decide to go back to terminal B.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Back to terminal B, and I still continue walking but in the opposite direction as I was a little confident back in my mind that I wouldn't miss the flight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">While the lazy long weekend was coming to an end, I was still thinking whether to leave home or not. Finally after deciding to leave I drive for 30 minutes to reach the Dallas Arboretum. As a rookie photographer trying to get few good moments and pictures of the natures gift (flowers) I walk around the park with my new camera and a round neck hat to make sure nothing comes in my way while I chose to look from the viewfinder.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After walking around the garden for quite a while in the scorching sun I got few good pictures. This part of the year wasn't as great as I expected it to be but still managed got a chance to click few good ones.</div>

This was one thing I didn't happen to think of doing during my stay at Dallas Downtown. It was experimental but had good time while I stumbled to know of this show called "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love,_Loss,_and_What_I_Wore">Love Loss & What I Wore</a>". A 90 minute show introduced me to how plays are performed and this was a unique one as I haven't seen such a performance until now. It was great as the ladies spectacularly lived the characters as it slowly involved me with the emotions played on the stage. Before the show began my friend and I strolled across the <a href="http://www.attpac.org/">AT&T Performing Arts Theater</a>.<br />
<br />
There have been a couple of #BIGDallas signs across the downtown for promoting Dallas Downtown. And, it has been an impressive setup and attracted quite a lot of people posing with signs. And, I had a couple of them taken to be part of the fun.<br />

These were few pictures I planned to take the previous evening to capture the reflections of the high-rise towers that make the downtown look pretty. The sight of these buildings in the thinnest layer of water gave my eyes a great satisfaction. Lately, I have realized that it is sometime food to enjoy the view with the natural eye than the artificial ones as not all of the scenes can be captured.<br />
<br />
In the background are the LN Holdings property and the Fountain Place.<br />

I venture out a lot but have this sense of ambiguity whether I'm doing the right thing. Of all that nonsensical stuff that goes in my head, I choose to randomly enter few restaurants for my dinners.<br />
Of those many restaurants I've been to in the past few weeks below are few I'd love visiting again.<br />
<br />
Veg Spring Rolls and Orange Fried Rice at Zenna (has both Thai and Japanese Cuisine)<br />

great view from Chase Towers Sky Lobby - Dallas<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This marked the last day of an intense work in last two months. I finally decided to complete two things that I wanted to do for a long time. Firstly, it was the Chase Sky Lobby I would stare at every evening after my work when I used to go on a walk. Secondly, it was the Free Ride Trolley. Trolley ride was very exciting and had a great time riding on it. These two things finally completed my stay at Dallas Downtown. Looking forward to more such stories in the coming weeks.<br>

It's been three years that I started exploring the beautiful nature and its mysterious beauties. When I first traveled to Kedarnath and Badrinath, I realized that how could some of the most serene places lied in India. And, the entire experience was captured using an iPhone 4 that had at that time (thanks to my lovely sister and parents who presented this). I used it extensively capturing the scenic beauties of the Himalayan mountains that surround the historic places. Then the following year I got to travel to Dharamshala,India to participate in a trekking event. This was also a fun filled journey as I had an extra accessory this time (a macrolens; courtesy - lovely sister). I ended by capturing close to two thousand pictures during this trip. It was just facebook by then that I knew where I could share my work so that friends of mine could have a look to appreciate what the nature holds at its best.<br />
<br />
In late 2013, I finally traveled to the United States for my education and then got a new iPhone5 (courtesy - brotherinlaw). This time it was just amazing. Rolla, Missouri was where I had chosen to pursue my masters. It was by this time that Instagram became popular, I used flickr a couple of times but wasn't interested much. As days progressed, I started exploring the City of Rolla and was amazed by the randomness of the natural beauty within my campus and around the city. One day I was walking towards the Social Security Office in the city and stumbled upon this nursery at the suburbs of the city. I can still remember how excited I was when I spotted this place. I had to plan my visit to the nursery a couple more times to make sure I had taken pictures of the flowers that they had at their place. It was both the place and the equipment (iPhone5) that I had. Started taking pictures and began madly sharing them on facebook, just to realize that I had a bunch of friends who wouldn't appreciate the work that was shared. Found Instagram as an alternative source when I was chided by my sisters that it's so very painful for them to keep seeing just flowers rolling on their newsfeed. I was just struggling to find a medium to share my work where one could experience it.<br />
<br />
It was in 2014 that I got to know that my school has a magazine that publishes pictures in it.I didn't wait until they published the request, I immediately sent my work to them and guess what, a picture that was captured during my trekking happened to be on the cover page. I was puzzled to see this and had just been in the Cloud9 moment for a while. It was during this period that I was in Chicago working as an Intern for a consulting firm. I spent my weekends visiting the Lincoln Conservatory and finding other places that I could just relax. These trips obviously helped me capture few more beautiful pictures. But, no chance that I could share the pictures on facebook for the same reasons that I mentioned earlier. I just kept sharing the work on Instagram. Got a few beautiful clicks during this period, but no better way to share the work than Instagram. Then, I was just browsing the Internet the other day and found a name of a friend on my google+ page and just looked him up on google just with a curiosity on what's he upto. Guess what I found, it was the National Geographic Your Shot page. Then I realized, I found the right place to share my work. This was the moment that I realized how mad I was about sharing my work on the craziest platforms until then where people visit to share other things than artwork.<br />
<br />
I have to thank my friend who indirectly helped find this medium to share the work and I have a strong desire to have atleast one picture of mine to get published in the NatGeo work. That would just bring another Cloud9 moment until it happens. <br />

A short journey of 11months 18 Days ... Almost an year in the United States.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I still remember the long flight trip I've done from Hyderabad - Doha - Houston - Dallas. A wonderful journey accompanied by the beautiful air hostess who me helped get a lavish appetite throughout the trip. "Oblivion" a super english flick , Planes (my favorite animation movie after Minions) and Special 26 (a Hindi flick) were few of the movies I got to watch during the flight journey.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A panoramic view of Doha was a feast to the eyes, especially the man made islands were beautiful to look from close to 40K feet in the sky. Rest of the time was spent dreaming about the future in the United States. I still remember the words of my dad's friend who came to wish adieu ... "USA is the mecca of education" and it's very much true in many ways. I totally agree with you uncle :). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The long awaited moment of immigration arrives finally after we reached the Houston Airport. I remember making my arrangements for the set of papers I'd have to submit at the port of entry. The lines were very long and I felt nostalgic imagining what kind of a conversation would I have with the officer. It actually ended as a simple conversation that began with a Hi and ended with a "Happy Stay in the States". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Carrying two huge bags filled with Indian spices, pickles, and a lot of memories was not an easy task. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was such a wonderful experience looking at the trains that move passengers within the airport from one terminal to another.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then, one of most critical moments in the first week were choosing between multiple admits I had from different schools. One was a school which was an hour away from my sisters place and another a 1000 miles away. I didn't realize that within a span of a week I had to travel to Missouri to begin my Masters program. I had no clue what would it be like, my lovely sister promised me that she is just a phone call away and to everyone's surprise my brother-in-law left all his work behind just to accompany me for my travel to Missouri. What happened next was such a sweet journey which I'd expand in my post that I would write in future. </div>

<p dir="ltr">It would be really great, to take into some other form of life, may it be a bird or an animal.I wish to be a bird,for I have many reasons to support my choice.<br>
I would have the rare opportunity to reach the highest a man could have ever reached naturally , view everything silently and peacefully , eat the best of the natural<br>
products filled with purity,drink the purest of little water available on earth,move into places where any human could have ever been to,fly together with all other birds,adorn<br>
the feathers and wings that make me complete as a bird,can be the most lovely creature by only observing but not be able to try change things around me and disturb the most happiest life a man dreams to lead but cannot.Live happily with all the flora and fauna which are very different and co-operative in the way they all live. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm surprised to this day , whether I were one who has written such a short passage.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They are few memorable lines in my life that I wouldn't forget.</p>

<p dir=ltr>What a film it is!!! I have been taken away by the script of the film.</p>
<p dir=ltr>One can really see most of the emotions being clearly put on the screen, i could experience a great feeling watching the movie, as the protagonist role carries the story into different worlds where one could have never imagined to pass through which is accompanied by the maestro Rahmans' musical journey of soft and mesmerizing music.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Its really great... a life filled of surprises, made to feel the pain though there is lots of happiness, moments to cherish and many things to embrace and carry on with a happy life but cannot be.</p>
<p dir=ltr>But a short story as it ever happens on the screen where we really feel to be one among the cast but realize later that we are just part of the audience.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Movies are just to become more fantastic ever , by the day to share the joy of showing what one has missed in life , to show what could have happened, to show what (really) happened , to share with everyone those moments that you can never get in life than on the screen.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Thanks Imtiaz Ali for such a different movie that could let me look at a different world filled with different thoughts.</p>
<p dir=ltr>Masha Allah!!!</p>
