NY and DC trip day 1

It's long that anyone posted some topics here. :(
So I thought I'll take the initiative to write something, cause my semester practically got over today. Last week I , together with a few friends went to visit New York and Washington. We rented a car on Sunday April 20th and headed to New York at around noon. In between we stopped to some place in Connecticut to have a small break and then we continued our journey to New York. We reached New Jersey at around 4 in the evening and checked in our Hotel. After an hour's rest we headed to New York. We were at Times Square at around 7pm. Times square was full of people even though it was a Sunday evening. The place near times square rocks. We park our car in the 7th avenue and amazingly we got free parking. :)
We walked around in times square watching the most colorful American city. Then we headed towards the Rockefeller centre . We had to walk 2 blocks to get there from times square. There is a beautiful garden in front of Rockefeller center and behind there are flags of all the countries which are decorated in white lights. Then it was the time to go to the top of the rock, on the roof of Rockefeller center. We had to stand in a huge queue before we entered the building. We went thorough a minor security check before we got in. There again we had to wait in a long queue before we could step in the high speed elevator to finally reach the top of the rock (well... at least to the 63rd floor. The elevator doesn't go to the top). We walked around there for a while before we finally took the escalator to reach the top. The view from there was fantastic. I would suggest whoever gets a chance to come to New York must go there during night for the view. It is worth your money and effort :)
At around 11 in the night, we were out in the streets of New York and surprisingly we found out that even New York sleeps as most of the shops were closed, but luckily the Burger King near our car was open. Then we drove to ground zero, to see the remnants of the world trade center. They are still trying to clear the area and it looks so sad. But they are planning to build a new world trade center in the same place by 2012.
Then we headed for the battery park to get a view of the Statue of Liberty at night. But it's actually too far from there to get a good picture. So we headed back to our hotel with the plan to visit Statue of Liberty and other places in New York on the next day.

3 incentives to visit Chicago!

Hey Guys I give you three reasons to visit my place.
1) Food cooked by me.
2) Awesome tandoori dishes at Gareeb Nawaz starting from $3 a plate.
3) Cricket in a Basketball court.

The last point is reason enough to come here. We actually played this week and it's soooo fun. Occasionally there were some deranged people asking us when we would be over so they can play "Basketball". But it's fun to show them that for once their court is being used for a better reason! Huh.

Somebody teach me some Statistics

My apartment building is densely filled up with beautiful girls. But, alas! The only way to impress them seems to be able to help them with their statistics assignments. If only I had paid more attention to it during B.Math days.

Bitter Cold

Temperature is plunging through the night and tomorrow it's going to be -17 deg C in Chicago with 35mph wind. I am planning to stay in bed the whole day.
Here are some pics of snow.

I a m glad that I don't own a car.

This is a lake to be precise

A must see movie

Inspired by Lithium I am posting my first blog (achievement eh!) .

I saw this shocking movie called "Zeitgeist". It's rather a documentary which discusses religion, the American government and central bank. Apparently unrelated topics(or uncorrelated, as you like it) . I highly recommend it to all of you.

Here's a link, do spare some time to watch. It'll be worth.

Thanksgiving and Winter

So guys, next week we'll be getting Thanksgiving holidays and the sem is also gonna end in a month or so.
What are your plans for these vacations?

Myself, I am going to my brother's place for Thanksgiving and flying to San Fransisco for winter to my sister's place.
Sister has already planned a lots of things.
They've booked a car for rental and we'll be going to Lake Tahoe for skiing and also to Los Angeles, from where we'll going to Hollywood.
So will upload loads of pictures after that trip.

Enjoy!

Life in US

Hey, finally got time to take some pictures of my house and post them over here.
Weekly assignments sap my energy and time and I am left with nothing more than enthu to watch One Piece.
So enjoy the pics!

My First Days in US

Hi,
it's nice to get in touch with you guys. I am now in the US. Got over my jet lag and am doing some exploring work today. Americans are nice people, very polite (actually too polite for my liking, ask me, sometimes politeness becomes a bit of a pain in the ass).
My flat-mate is a Korean fellow very nice fellow indeed. He is here for Journalism. What else..... shall let you know of the life here once I have settled down somewhat, now it's too early.

First post...I am excite!

I finally got a way to post my stuff. I am sending the first two pics of mine in US.
Those are not so good as I am still the 'desi' out-fit.
it'll take some time to get settled and get dressed well.
Till then I think you people will have to see me like this!
But how to upload pics? Let me try this also.
