I left to India on a month’s trip and I am back to US. It started with 3 days in Singapore, 4 days in Tirupati, 3 days in Chennai, 2 day back in Tirupati, 1 day in Chennai again, 1 day in Delhi and Agra, 3 days in Tirupati again and 4 days in Dubai. I do not have the count for the rest of the days, maybe I lost them in travel or I don’t remember what I did.

It started a little shaky with the 30 minutes special security check I was selected for before I left to Singapore, I lost my phone in Singapore before checking in to the hotel, I got my room on the 13^th floor which was a number in its own and not the top most floor for the price I paid (and no balcony). Nonetheless it was a good place to see and I had some very good time out there. Can’t divulge much out here. So I left to India met my family after a year and half, spent some time with everyone and surprisingly with my brother as well. Later I got my H1B stamping done in Chennai and spent some time with school friends.

I always wanted to see Taj Mahal, it was a dream and I thought this was the best time to see it. I left to Delhi in the night and returned the next night after seeing one of the world’s wonders. The first sight of Taj Mahal thru the fort entrance is something you will recollect as the most memorable moments of your life. Spectacular, Marvelous, and more adjectives if possible. I literally didn’t breath for a while and no words can describe what I felt and what it meant to me. I was very sad to see the way the fort was maintained, I saw movie posters on forts wall, stalls, people screwing the foreigners and the dirt. The most celebrated place in India, a face, a pride, a wonder of the world is so poorly maintained that I have no hesitation to spit on the govt. We weren’t allowed in till 2 in the afternoon as the French PM was visiting Taj the same day. I am sure all the VIP’s can only see the inner beauty of Taj as they will be escorted in without showing them how sadly it is maintained outside. Hundreds of factories closed in and around Agra to protect Taj from pollution and at the same time Mathura refinery alone would be enough to do the damage and I don’t see a near solution as it cannot be shutdown and brought up in another place. Sad!!!  My next trip to Taj will be on a full moon night I wonder how beautiful that would be.

I landed in Dubai in the middle of a Sand Strom. Scary but it’s an experience.  Dubai Shopping Festival was closed due to the sand storm the day I landed. DSF was fun, all I enjoyed over there was the food from different countries. I loved Shorma and I had it every afternoon and night. I went to a beach resort with dolly the last day before I left to US and all I saw out there was people who were fat, above 60 years in age in their bikinis. She couldn’t find a better place lift my spirits. It was a beautiful sight at the beach and it just needed some beautiful young people around. I was the only one out there (attitude!).

I am here in US and my biological cycle is all screwed up. I don’t know day to a night and I am up at this time and don’t know what to do.
