“It was 10-15 mins drive from airport to Big Tree Way, that is where we live. The road sides are filled with big trees, and in the dark (12AM), they looked really dense. The roads were all empty and we reached our apartment complex by 12:10. Its the kind of place where I love to live in, with slanted wooden roofs, wooden flooring and wooden staircases. Inside, it was all new for me, except his face , and we ate the Biriyani he had prepared, and settled down.”
I wrote this as an email to my close friends one year back. The email was a travelogue on my journey to US. Its been an year since I landed in this alien country and started a new life.
The first few months were spent on an expectation of hitting home back at the earliest. Slowly, I settled down to the realization that I will have to be here for some time. That really put me into the track, and I started learning things.
The learning curve was slow, yet interesting :-). There are a lot of incidents, which when looked back, evokes a smile in us.
Diary needs to be the journal written daily. But I don’t have a day-to-day journal maintained in the past one year. Still, there are a few things I learned, which I wish to share. I hope that will reduce the learning curve of others :-)
So, here starts the USA diary…..
