Boston

MIT, cambridge was one of the places I was planning to go from a long time. On the third day of my touring I went there and met Hemanth and Anitha. I had lots of fun. Hemanth showed me around MIT. One of the things which you would not want to miss seeing at MIT is the recently build weird building which is there in one of my snaps. It looks as if it is going to fall. After that we took the T ( the name of subway in boston) to Harvard. It was a cool place. There were many old buildings with splendid architecture. We then went back to MIT and played tennis. Hemanth beats shashank 6-3, 6-3 and escapes a defeat when the score was 1-3, and I got a phone call reminder that I had to pack and be ready for the next destination, Newyork city.

getting started

hey, as I wrote in the previous post I am just getting started with this. I know I can get you all interested soon. But for now you have to bear with my hackneyed remarks.
I had missed my second checked in bag on my return journey from newyork to austin. I was tensed, as I had very valuable things in it...I was thinking of the camera my sis gave me, the mps player, the wireless mouse......and new shoes my sis gave me.......they cost $50 . I would have never bought those by myself.
In the evening I got a call, and heard a old man's voice. He said he was bringing my bag home.....I was so happy.......but i did not know then what I would be finding in the bag. No, nothing missing ..............
It was something else I was not looking for or thinking of .....it was my passport,Visa and SSN. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the pouch containing them. ooooooooooh....I am so dumb.
Anyways that was the end of it, now everthing is secure and fine

Back from Newyork

This being my first post in my blog I want to keep it short and sweet. I am back from a vacation today. Its has been a great week.
I have been to the magnificient Niagara falls situated right in between U.S and Canada. The bridge connecting U.S and Canada across the Niagara river is called the Rainbow Bridge. I am lucky to be back at U.T as we lost way and crossed the bridge by mistake. We had to go through rigorous customs check both by Canandian and American officers before coming back to U.S. We were warned to take passports even when going to a grocery store in U.S. Isn't it ridiculous!!!!!!!!
Anyways we enjoyed a lot in the maid of the mist ride (boat ride which takes people close to the falls) and then the fireworks of Canadian independence on July 1st. The next day we went to the cave of the winds walk where we walked to the falls and were hit hard on our faces by the water from the falls.
I then went to MIT in cambridge. It was great to be there and the view of boston downtown form there was awesome with the river in between. I then took the subway (its called the T locally) to Harvard, the land of the eilte. It was great to be there.
Then I travelled to NYC (Newyork city). I lost my breath for a second when I saw the skyline. I first went to the Times Square, the worlds top most, to be place and was mesmerised at the huge T.V screens and the glowing lights. I then took the NYC tour by the bus. It took us close to the empire state building and over the Manhattan bridge. The view of Newyork skyline on the one side and the statue of liberty on the other was beautiful. The bus tour was a disaster for me as I missed the 4th of july fireworks.
The next day I agian went to Time Square and visited the United Nations building.
