I feel the best time to visit USA is the December , there is something magical about the holiday times here and i am not stealing this line or thoughts from a Disney commercial.
By the way I went to India for a wedding and stayed in Poona and Hyderabad.This time I found out that I am a happy traveler all i need is couple of drinks some good music and an aisle seat and i can do the 14 hour flight easily, We had a stopover at Hong Kong for a coup
I took a taxi from Mumbai to Poona , with the Nov attacks in Mumbai and the yearly Dec 6th tension in the air ,i arrived at the CSI airport at 2 in morning ,things were pretty normal as compared to what i had anticipated.
The ride was uneventful with a single stop for chai and cigarette before we entered the Mountains Western Ghats,I was on the famous Bombay Poona expressway speeding away at the break of the day.I always get emotional when i go to India its something in the air which gets me in that mood.I guess you need to be away from the country for couple of years to get that feeling ,its a strange feeling and probably an indescribable one its like now after living almost a decade we want best of both the worlds, when i am in bay area i miss hyderabadi byrani and the irani caafe and when i am in hyderabad i miss the quietness , cleanliness, of bay area. In short i believe that we have to make a way in between these two non intersecting paths and make peace with life.
So with all these thoughts i finally reached Poona and started my so called vacation.
