You and I

I see laughter,
because you hid the sorrow
I see you playing jokes on others,
when the biggest joke was played on you
I see a busy-bee,
when being busy just helps you forget the pain
I see a pessimist,
when you were the one person who had always hoped for the best
I see you in the mirror,
and realize,
you have become someone you never wanted to be.

Does it feel like heaven?

The ground was swept from under our feet,

But still, a few among us,

Have kissed the sky.

To all those who have kissed the sky,

Us mortals ask thee,

Does it feel like heaven?

Shadow of the Day - Linkin Park
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

Not considering severe jet lag issues, definitely possible. Here is the route I took:-
Chicago - Hong Kong- Manila - Chennai - Frankfurt - Chicago

Details will be posted later, once jet lag is overcome

Once in a blue moon...

Well if anything there is anything you should do, try avoiding taking a flight out of Chicago.I agree having come to Chicago airport only three times, I am not in a position to judge. But cannot help but state the fact that all the three times, my flight has been delayed. I guess leaving Chicago airport on time happens only once in a blue moon... but that's not the reason for the title.

Catching up with a good friend is always a good thing. But meeting her at an airport halfway across the world in between flights after almost two years is too good to be true. Well, thats what exactly happened. Seeing Kaddu at the Chicago airport made me think of swimming(I know weird analogy but please let me elaborate!) You know how they say, no matter what you do, once you learn swimming you can never forget it...well its something like that with friends... the comfort level, the slangs(tendi!) and laugh-out-so-loud-that-people-around-you-think-you-are-being-impolite came back instantaneously. It was so good to catch up with her...

Thanks Kaddu for making it the best 25-30 minutes I spent in a long time. And for that one reason, I now temporarily will forgive Chicago Airport and United for making me spend an extra four hours at the airport.

Second time lucky?

It has been an interesting summer so far. The internship has proved to be the ideal summer job. I love the work and the best part is I get to travel. I have traveled quite a bit and I wanted to put down my travel experiences. So I thought to myself, why not blog? Well its my second attempt at blogging(the first one being a part of a graded assignment!). So hopefully I shall stick around longer this time!
