Life in Dallas: Getting Over the Jetlag

Life here in Dallas though not completely different from that what we are used to India. It's definitely not a culture shock for me as stated by my neighbour on my flight to Amsterdam. There are considerable difference in the way the city looks. The city definitely considerably more cleaner and in away beautiful in a way than what we are used to India. Beauty on the Indian road can only be enjoyed on the outskirts and not within the city.

One thing that is amazing is seeing the types of cars on the road. There are so many SUVs on the road (as remarked by Ganesh) and I've seen a Hummer so often more than I've ever seen in Mumbai (never seen it in Pune though). The room where we work overlooks the parking lot of the office and boy what a sight it is!!! It is a joy to see the different makes, the Pontiacs, the Porsche, the Fords, the Mercs, the Hondas, the Hyundias, the Volkwagons, and the list goes on and on.

The weather here is pretty windy and cold, but hey lived in Pune for the past year so almost used to the chill :) The only thing that kind of getting to me the lack of sleep. Both Ganesh and I end up getting only around three to four hours of sleep. Both of us get up around four in the morning and then we are constantly on the phone talking to parents and loves. I should be thanking to strong coffee that's been keeping me up at work.

Some of the pleasures are seem the current episodes of shows I enjoy (or the one my sis loves) and shows that I've heard about but haven't seen. Another pleasure is having a bathtub in our suite, it was quite experience. Yup made a waffle for the first time for breakfast today :)

I do miss my family and love a lot, living here quite and experience, though I am looking forward to getting back to the life I'm used to. the trip is a nice way of shaking life up from it's mundane routine and putting a new spin on it. So far just a couple of days down let see what the future holds now :)
