wel, in my short visit to the us, two places i fel in love wer lake tahoe, california n newyork.
LAKE tahoe
it was a wondeful place with the thickest of trees i hav ever seen and water so brilliantly clear dat u cud c up to 67 feet deep too. amazing and ice cold, man! u cant stay very long, n the lake edged into small beaches with the softest of sand u cud imagine wid mountains all round it, snow capped thou its summer. it was a huge lake, n believe me wen i say it was huge, more like asea wid beaches n all. ya, n in a bay called emrald bay due to the lovely green colour of the water is a smaal island on which is a 16 foot by 16 foot lil buildin built by a lady who threw parties ther fr her frnds...wow! outta nowhere. thou its more water games in south lake tahoe, the beaches in north lake tahoe wer so soft... but the part i liked most wer the towering pines . its divinely beautiful to sit on the soft beach wid the cool breeze blowing against ur face, the pines rustling softly overhead as u look on the clear blue lake wid mountians far away markin its boundaries wid traces of winter snow faintly left behind.
n New york the other i fell in love wid. wat i liked first wer ppl n cars nt waiting for the traffic lights n d extremely dirty streets which reminded me of india cos i am boringly amazed by the clean streets of virginia wer i stayed. new york was altoether a different world wid huge skyscrapers as far as d eye cud c n crowded streets n busy ppl is a sight in itself.entering newyork thru a shuttle frm new jersey, v pass thru a loooong tunnel, i think the same one in the movie-padamati sandyaragam, lovely movie, aint it? neway, v tuk a double decker open toped bus ride thru downtown wid air ot so cool against ur face but the huge buildings stand guard against the sun. my neck ached as i was craning to c the tops o the buildings but wat i liked abt hem wer the tiny fire escape stairs , all in diff colours n designs. the 1 hr n odd wait to go to the 86th floor observatory on empire state bldg was worth it. u r literally on top wid bldgs all round u n a sight i liked wer the tiny yellow cabs all cluttered on the streets. then the 2-hr night tour was amzing, the bldgs transform into bright lights in various patterns against a dark sky n mark my words, not a single star cos its too polluted to see them.i enjoyed d ride over the brooklyn bridge and the view from beside it, like the bridge beside u, the river in front n below it n the otherside all colourfuly bright n u cud c the statue of liberty if u crank ur neck. but the empire state bldg towers over the rest n is lighted in white red and blue from top. wow! u knw its sposed to be pink on valentines day. i wud love getting married near its very top wid all pink lights round me n a city full of lights to behold.
thoughts abt the us....
wel, its an amazingly matriculate country wen u cum 2 the neat houses i hav seen in virginia's sub-urbs. simple ways to do everything n u get the freedom u dont enjoy in india rite from the clothes u wear to the way u live widout ppl pokin in. but it also means u live nearly alone , i mean, the care n affection n love of family n neighbours. me being sumone who need cumpany n from my loved ones, i wonder if i can live in the US of A. my grandmom scoldin me n huggin me, my dad to go out wid, my mom to quarell wid.... :-) but felt a lil nostalgic wen my 5 weeks ther wer up, not as much on leavin america n as leaving my aunts n uncles n cousins whom i hav grown so close to in these 5 weeks. it pains me slighty dat v wont b seein each other so soon thou thnx to the net, v ll b in touch but its nt the same as being wid them, aint?
i close my eyes n see america one last time, san francisco's golden gate bridge far away wid the chilly wind of the pacific blowing me away, i take a deep breath of the fresh air over lake tahoe wer i stand wid the lake in front, its water lapping gently at my bare feet n hear the air rustling thru the pines n then i feel a rush of adrelaine on the biggest roller coaster ride i hav been to, kraken ( remember the legendary sea monster in pirates-2) in seaworld, orlando, florida wid bugs flying n slight rain drizzling over me n then the view from brooklyn bridge of the city called the apple in brilliant light all round me as it gives a picture postcard still n then las vegas, the bellajio's fountain show, wow! water splashing lightly relieving one of the summer n desert heat of nevada n the magnificient sculptures i was awed of in caesar's palace n then the huge dinosaur ( its bones all set rite n standing) bidding me goodbye from the natural histoary museum, wahington dc n finally my ppl waving, huggin n kissing n tears strain my eyes to bid them goodbye. alas! the trips cum to an end n america stands behind me as i bid it adieu, adios n i truly loved it, or Mcdonald's way- I'm loving it :-D
