American Luncheon

When you are in a new country and someone from back home is talking to you for the first time afer you have been here,the things whihc they gonna ask about are about the living,climate n food.the experience of food in the IIT hostels in delhi is kinda sickening bcos of very obvious reasons which most of you know......when i was about to leave to US my parenst were like....."Nayi desh mein ja raha hai...patha nahi kya khayega n stuff"....my dad was wlayws at the back of me asking me to learn how to cook n stuff...but i was not atall worried...bcos i always felt ki agar thodi si common sense ho tho its not that hard to cook.......Now when i landed here.......the first thing i ate was dal rice n it was great....all credit goes to Mr.Shyam Matravadi my senior and now one of my roomies here.........(will come back to him later)....our lunches here in US used to be mostly Slice(which is a 1/8th of a large plane cheese pizza).......everyone of my friends used to get bored eating these stuff.........by the way its great athat all of us friends do take lunch together........we have a great time during the lunch........yeah coming back....being bored of eating the same slice day after day.......we started to get home cooked food.......having alot of girls in the grp is advantageous in that way,ki woh log roz achcha khana bana ke laathe hain..........thou' they r not that cooks(ooops jaldi mien sach bol diya.....ab agle 2-3 din ke liye muje lunch nahi milega)..........i too get home made food some time...........
now lets get to in person....lemme start with Shyam.....who0m i think is the best cook i know here in all my friends grp......what ever he maks i amazing....the tamatar ka achar....any damn sabzi......and being a telugu guy he cooks alot of telulgu foods which u might not be knowing.......next comes Rajesh my other roommates.....he cooks really well too....then comes the girls......Poonam,Devika,Amee,Gauravi.........allof them are roomies and cook together...i dont know who does what but.....they too cook great........then its my other roommates Kiran.....he is Non-VEg specialist........the onlything he can cook is anythign non-veg and the stuff he cooks is incredible...........next is Ashwini(again my senior and like an elder sis to me) gets these sabzi n parantha for lunch which are really great......then its hardik's mom(hardik is my senior too).......he gets the lunch cooked by his mom........cool that he lives with his mom here......akhir maa ka haath ke khane ka kya jawaab hai..........apart from these......the stuff which we cook at home.....i cant even imagine if anyone comnig to US for MS has ever cooked them.......we make all kinds of sweets,achars,powders,masalas etc etc at home......man if we show what all stuff we eat here to our parents.....they will stop worrying once and for all time..........
Apart from these.......we go out and have dinner's at times on Lexington Avenue which has alot of Desi Restaurants all along........

The NewYork Subway

NewYork "the Business capital of the World"......."the city that never sleeps" has some amzing things about itself.....one of it being the Subway system which is the most reliable commutation means for almost all classes of NYC people........daily around a million people travel by the subways........The Subways were first introduced in 1904..........100 years have passed and now its the biggest subway system in the whole world.

Lemme tell ya how a typical NewYork Subway Bougie looks like.......(the stuff need not necessarly be in the very same bougie)........The Subway train enters the station(most of which r underground)....the doors open and people get in,everyone eager to find a seat for themselves......but alas all of them are occupied.....so i find a place for my self to stand at one of the corners......then the Train driver or the conductor annouces.."******** is the next station and stand clear we r closing door"....then the train starts moving.....now starts the whole funny story......u will find al kinda people in the subway.....most of them involved in reading a novel or a newspaper or a magazine.......then comes an old chinese guy with a bag full of DVD's saying "DhiVDhi-DhiVDhi" in his own chinese accent.......then at some other corner there is this kid crying for something and his mom becoming restless and giving him a tight slap.........inbetween enter a grp of three dancers calling for everyone's attention and making some decent enuf space for themselves......and then they start dancing like knuts believe me they dance really very very well........while they r perfoming here gets up a European traveller with her camera and starts taking pics of them....(if you find someone taking such kinda pictures the u can be sure for 90% that he /she is a European traveller).......after they r done with their performance.......they start collecting money from the gracefull doner who feel that their performance was good........and then there is this old man shouting at another corner,holding a bible in his hand, saying that...Jesus is the only hope for u to live...Believe in Jesus and stuff like that........now the interestnig stuff to most of u guys n gals.........sitting beside each other or say almost in each others laps a pair licking each other........"publicly"....no one bothers.....initially i used to feel alot uncomfortable when i used to see such kinda stuff live....but now i got used to it.......its most common here.......while all this stuff is goin on i have to get down bcos my destination arrives.......
The next time i get on a subway......if not everthing which i mentioned but some of the stuff i mentioned will surely repeat.........
Anyways please leave your comments guys.....i feel it dint turn out as good as i wishes bcos i was in a hurry while writing the blog......
Take Care..
