From USA......

Its long time since I updated my blog. And this is my first post from USA.

It’s over a week and a half after I left my Motherland, India to USA. I've come here for my project assignment.

When I stepped into this new beautiful country lots of questions were running in my mind (my work, environment, food, challenges, etc.) It was not only excitement but also some kind of tension.


21-Jul-2005, 0430 pm I landed in Newark Airport from where I took a taxi to my house. Fortunately I had the route map from yahoo to aid me reach my (going to be) house easily. Sathya (my roomie) welcomed me when I got down. He works as a consultant in Medco Health care. Later in the day I also met Santhosh from HCL Gurgaon. It was through Santhosh who works with same client I got the accommodation. They were so friendly that I didn't feel I was in a diff country or with diff people.

22-Jul-2005 had to join office. Reached office early at 0830 with Santhosh. Sridhar, my lead introduced me to all the people at office. People around me were so friendly and this eased the tension from my mind.

New Jersey, the state where I live is called the Garden state and it’s really worth this name. I couldn’t see a bare piece of land with soil/sand anywhere. It’s all lawn and trees everywhere. A very peaceful and silent place to live; away from the city, pollution, crowd and all stuff. I really feel great to be in such a beautiful place.


Will keep you updated on the places that I visit and my experiences here.
