facinated...THings are just tooo good to right
abt..i mean the its just to good..a must have
experience..
Yeah..i have come a long way..Nashik 9th std..to MS
in LA
never thought..but..Its all you ppls blessing and my
funda of Mango dilse milega jarur.

Well the flight was really boring..may be because it
wasn't comfortable and the food was bad.but thats
ok..its a very few times i will be flying be economy
class..after some time Raffel class only ;)

The ppl here are really good and cooperative. The
batchmates and ppl at USC are really cooperative. I
opened an account with USC credit union.. And
realised what do they mean by service.. I had tough
time getting a/c with SBI.. but here its very good.

FOOD ... well for vegi outside foods
sucks..especially Burgers etc..and its costly..i
mean...right now i feeling it costly cause
multiplying it by 47.. but will get used to spending
in $ ;)

Tried kanda pohe yesterday night..it was a joint
effort..so it failed...:) no team work in cooking..i
guess..it was pathetic..fakt smoke alarm wajala nahi
hey nashib.. The ppl i am staying with had 6
cookers..they have blown all of them but one in few
few months alone..they have kept a last one in the
memories of the privious 5..now they don't cook at
home.

Well this is a second day in LA. and my First
weeekend
went to play cricket..I played with Regular cricket
ball, with pads gloves etc..the last thing i had
expected..its very good..never enjoyed cricket so
much in india also.
Then we went to Test of india , an indian restraunt.
I had egg plant bharta ( i thought its egg bhurji,,
he he ) its apana vangyacha bharit. and chole..and i
had 2 nan.

You know what..all the things we always heard of
like disney land, Barns and nobel, Shrine ( where
oscars and ammy awards take place) u can get to see
here..
Shrine is just opposite to USC.

The santa monica beach is really good one..i will be
going there soon..may be today.

WEll u must be thinking..yeah banda gaya padhai ke
liye aur maja kar raha hai..the things is that..my
passport verification can only be done on 1st aug at
the univ..there is nothing i can do abt it. I
already have my student id and Bank a/c. and for
weeekends...the funda is U eat and sleep. in short u
have FUN.

my classes will be starting from 20th aug.
well..have i missed on anything..yes..The traffic
rules..i am really proud to be a pedistrian..u get a
lot of respect..all the cars wait for pedistrian to
cross..nobody has to stop for a coming car if he/she
is walking.

I am fine here and Enjoying..Well as u rightly
said..Finally i am where i always wanted to be..I
had been to irvine (safest place on earth.) the
houses are so nice...i mean..everything is just tooo
good to compare with india..but...Yeah big but is
there..that even though
per capita income is less but there are Very RICH
ppl ..
I am gonna be one of them ;)

the thing i hate the most here is answering m/c and
the long phone nos ..and Yeah CAMODE...and toilet
papers..
No water at all..sagale ghanerade ahet.

The best thing is that even a smallest house has a
tubbath..apalyakade pan loka chukichya goshti
lavakar uchalatat..instead of camode indians should
have had pick up TubBath.

well everything is fine here...

Keep in touch ..i will be online on weekdays from 9
to 11 pm IST for you..so lets meet someting on yahoo
messanger.


Bye for now..

YO !!! ( thats what they call it ...english version
of desi ZHAKAS)
