Life in America : Week #3

Life is becoming too tough. Several unexpected things happened in a very short time. Over the weekend, I stayed back in the house. Sunday thought of exploring DC. But due to rain the entire plan got scrapped. Almost after 7 years once again I started to cook.
Last wednesday, I attended Blackberry DC Developer day. Both the technology what they discussed and the food what they serverd were "Greek" and "Latin" to me. For the first time, I had a American lunch :) . Got a blackberry bold 9700. My first Non-Nokia cell phone in my life.

Work is getting pretty hectic. Expecting tough days ahead..

Life in America - Week #2

2nd week in USA.
Work load is pretty high.. Expect the same to continue for the next few months. In the last 2 weeks the main problem that I face/faced/facing is using rest room :(. Using tissue paper is very horrible.
Telephone charges are too high here. We are even charged for incoming calls too.. May be tata docomo should come here.. I got a prepaid phone connection without any documents.

Life in America - week #1

7 days ago I landed in Dulles International Airport. My first overseas trip. With lot of excitement and anxiety I came down to DC. This trip can change my life. I know the ground reality before starting this journey. Things are not going to easy. Trying hard to make things work fine.

When I was in India, I had feeling that I'm obese. Now, I don't have that feeling. I can see too many xxl sized people around me. DC is a very costly place to live. Every day I have to spend around 20$ for my transportation and for my lunch. When I convert this into Indian Rupees, it comes to 900Rs. 4$ to use the washing machine and dryer (Enna kodumai saravanan ithu :( ). Hope after another 51 weeks I will return to India.
