American Winter

Hiiii ... just being a while since I blogged a lot...just frustrated a bit these days.. ah but lets move on.
Just thought of sharing my American experience... :) .. wow!!!!!!
When I was studying I never thought I would be going to States anytime because I used to think only extraordinary people could make it to the dream country... because it was a kind of fancy going to America..kind of milestone achieved..these was the picture when I was studying...:)
Then after landing in the IT industry , came to know that it was not all that great thing.. anyone in this industry have to go abroad be it America or Afghanistan some time or later..
As I thought the day came when I would be travelling...wow!!!! .. :) I would be lying if I say I was not excited... I was excited not only because going to Chicago but because going through Paris!!!!!
Started from Bangalore , first destination was romantic city of Paris....it was a nice flight...from food to Air hostess everything was good..:):)
It was a nice journey ,arrived in Paris and just by the glimpse of Paris airport made be so good...It was so beautiful..outside temperature was 7 degrees..chill haan.... there was some very gud and sweet fragrance in the air, the breeze was calm and cool and ofcourse very romantic...Its Paris after all... :) , I was just missing my sweet heart(Note: I dont know who....or may be I know..:)... just kidding)
At one point of time I could not believe I was in the country of greats like Zidane and Anelka and Ribbery and many more Famous soccer players!!!! All was so good... but unfortunately Paris was not my destiantion.. :( ... but so what...... Chicago is not bad.. :)
Again It was a nice journey from Paris to Chicago....at last arrived in the dream country after 8 long hours in flight from Paris..It was tiresome one but good one......
The winter was starting in Chicago and I was there.. :(:) it was kind of both good and to some extent bad in a way...hmmmm not bad really.... The good thing is I could see all the festivals from Thanks giving to St.Patricks day...wow!!! I just could not hold to see all those ...what a lovely opportunity to understand people ,their culture , their way of celebrations and much more........
Lucky me.....

I dont want to talk about work ..just boring lets explore Chicago..:)

The first of the festives was Thanks giving day .. jsut a brief history of this day...its beleived that the native Americans , red indians had helped the migrant europeans settling in America to cultivate land and agriculture and just as a gesture of reciprocation to the Native americans , the Americans celebrate this day... how nice.... :)....
People celebrate Thanks giving day by having a huge Turkey with close family memebers and relatives.. just partying and enjoying... it was nice....
Then came Chirstmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow Since being a first timer I really enjoyed this so much.. enjoying Christmas in America is really a great thing...whole of Chicago was like a newly wed bride ,with all beautiful lights with all designs decorated thorughout the city, Al lthe trees jsut glowing in light , beautiful lake side view ...oh my god...it was so good.... then there were huge Christmas trees well decorated.. and of course Santas...what a Christmas without Santas??? Santa was just hugging and kissing kids and kids loving it ..getting sweets and gifts ..all these I have heard in stories..but seeing It happening ......wow it was so good....
Then ofcourse New year follows Xmas and New Year in America..what else can I ask for???
We went to Navy pier in Chicago where Fire works show was going to happen on New Year eve...
And It was just wonderful .. I really dont know how to explain this... there were all sought of fire works happening and it was just beautiful...It was 2 a.m....outside temperature of -20 degrees and we were partying... :):):)..chill.....

So it was all so nice..then ofcourse it was my birthday in Feb... :)... it not a festival but then you see..celebrating Birthday outside home country..it was something a mixed feeling..missed my beloved ones but at the same time enjoyed in Chicago...

haa so much.. and there is much more...probably in next post...:):):) will continue my Chicago trip soon...jsut dont get tired..there is lots more to come.. :):):)

Cheers!!!!!!!
