Get 2 Gather with my VBIT American Friends

Hey There..!

From last two, three days I am thinking what should I write in next post? I got few suggestions from few of my friends, everyone of them suggesting me something. Some times I end up with no thought. I ask few questions to myself, what was my intention while creating the blog. Am I on right track? Or did I lose my tempo. All these things disturbed me a lot. But at last I’ve decided to write whatever comes in my mind weather it is good or bad, don’t worry about it. From then I got few ideas.

Actually I should have been written this post little earlier. But because of my laziness and may be because of my disorder I am late. So are u people ready to read the post?

As I told you about my American VBIT friends in previous post...I am sticking to the same concept for now.

Once we 6 friends left VBIT, just 4 of us together at same place. But we never really got an opportunity to see Pradeep and Arun for 2 years. From the day one in America, I had a desire of get 2 gather. But it took almost 2 years to complete my desire. Though Venu, Sandeep, Aravind and I are together for one year, Venu and I left Sandeep and Aravind. So it has been very long time we didn’t meet with any one. But for this Christmas we got an opportunity for get 2 gather. Every one of us is free and every one of us is ready for it. As I am in exact centre of America, Everyone came to Chicago, IL. We gathered for almost 10 golden days. At last we couldn’t even know how these 10 memorable days passed.

We spent most our time in traveling. We covered almost 6 states. Our first trip was to IOWA, Venu stays there. On the day of Christmas, We know nothing is opened across America. Hence our plan is just to go to some theatre and watch some movie. We watch YES MAN movie in some theatre near to venu’s home. It was big entertainer for all of us. Most of us are big fans to the Hero Jim Carey. But I don’t know much about him that was the first time I saw him. Movie was very good, full length comedy entertainer hence we enjoyed a lot there. Right after that movie we people went to Temple. And we planned to go to Pioneer Village next day in Nebraska. It is just about 5 hrs away from Iowa. We expected much enjoyment at Pioneer Village. But unfortunately it is a big flop. Pioneer Village failed to reach our expectation. It was simply like a museum where we can know many things about the past. Though it was little disappointment for us, the journey was very interesting. For the first time in America I saw 75MPH speed limit in Nebraska. Up to then I just saw 70MPH speed limit in inter states and I thought that was maximum. But I got surprised with 75MPH speed limit. The Interstate was very great to travel. Road side is fully filled with agricultural fields which made us feel like we are in India. The Interstate is also not that curvy it’s almost a straight road along. But early in the morning road was completely filled with lot of fog which made driving very difficult. To be honest I couldn’t see any thing in front of me while driving. I blindly followed Venu’s car ahead of me. Hence the journey was thrilling but the destination was little disappointment for all of us. Mean while I’ve completed my wish to visit University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I got rejected my admission here for Masters. Hence I had a desire to see this university. It was O.K...One more interesting thing I found in I-35 was Cops. I found a cop for every 2 miles. Thank god for the first time I was in speed limit so got escaped from violation ticket.

As this trip is disaster and left lot of unsatisfaction in every one of us, we planned some thing real interesting that day. We planned to go to bowling on that night. Yeah, we got some thing real entertainment there. We played for almost 2 and half hours there and we were fully loaded with beer. Very hardly came to home from there and had some more beer. No one was in conscious; we don’t exactly know what we were speaking about. Next day every one had some hang over so we changed our plan from skewing to Casino.
Because we can go to Casino in night time, we can have some rest in day time. Though we have Casino’s near to Des Moines, Iowa, we are interested to go some good Casino far away from IOWA so that we can travel. We people are actually like to travel new places hence we planned to go to Kansas City; Missouri which is about 3 hours journey from Des Moines, Iowa. It was entertaining at Casino. Aravind, Venu and I played roulette, we didn’t get any money instead we loose a lot there. Sandeep, Pradeep and Arun played some other games but no one got a penny. We are not intended to get some thing from Casino, but we wanted some entertainment. Therefore we never worried about loosing money. The trip to Kansas City was little risky because the trip was in night and mean while there was heavy snow. Once again we couldn’t see any thing on road. But I managed to drive safely to home.

The next day we returned from Iowa, because I got to go to office for 2 days. My friends except Venu accompanied me to Chicago. When I went to office, Aravind, Sandeep, Pradeep, and Arun had few small trip to Indiana. Arun graduated from Purdue University, Indiana. Hence they went there. They also had few small trips across Chicago, IL. After 2 days as I got leave from office, we planned some thing real interesting on 31st December. We went to Wisconsin Dulles, Wisconsin which is about 3hrs from Chicago. We had real fun at water and theme parks at Wisconsin Dulles. But the journey was very horrible because of the Interstate construction. We spent till evening at Wisconsin and planning some thing for 31st Night. Arun, Aravind and Me wanted to go to some dance club or some club to welcome the New Year. But Pradeep and Sandeep were not really interested to go to these clubs. Pradeep suggested us to welcome the New Year from our home by playing cards. I said well, its ok but lets do some thing real interesting. Suddenly we wanted to give shock to Venu. I directed the car towards Iowa instead of Chicago. When we reach Iowa exactly at 00.00 Am, we were unable to give shock to Venu, because he gave us some surprise with fully loaded Red Label. We welcome New Year and greeted every possible friend on that night; we also had some cocktail in that night.

Next day everyone got ready and went to some Indian Restaurant in Des Moines. I don’t want to mention this restaurant but it was that horrible for which I can’t stop my self mentioning it here. To our surprise Venu said that All Indian Restaurants in Des Moines are much more disasters. After having Lunch we started our journey back to Chicago. We all know that trip is the last trip in our gather. So we did every possible kind of thing on that day. I also want to mention one more thing here, while coming back to Chicago from Iowa; we took exit some where nearer to Chicago for Pizza Hut. I left my heart there for 2 days to a girl who works in that pizza Hut. She was so beautiful and her I can’t even forget her smile now. I also want to mention one more thing here, while going to Iowa from Wisconsin Our GPS showed some new weird way. It was very horrible. To my fear, my friends started a topic on “BHOOT”. They started discussed about spirits and souls. I was very frightened as these guys notice that thing in my speech.

There comes our end of trip. One by one left me with sweet memories. During our trip, Pradeep, Arun, and Venu were very comic. But overall it was a great trip. We never forget these memories and our sweet friendship. Everyone back to their work now. But we still memorize those moments when we talk on phone. From this trip we got an opportunity to know about every one of us little closely. Thanks all of you my friends for making this trip successful and memorable. If possible we’ll plan many more get 2 gathers in future. Till then friends I’ll miss u.


Cheers
