Garden State that is what they call New Jersey .... it is really green...am always wondering how will all this look in the winter....
Heard that it is pouring back home..... Here climate or rather weather is classified as 'Summer' and 'Winter' i guess :)
And it rains either with water or with snow either ways in both these weather.....
Atleast i shud thank english sitcoms and i think it should be 'U have got mail' ya ' when harry met sally' sum meg ryan movie where the sidewalks are like new brunswick.....really want to capture all that in camera(god knws capturing or taking photo is allowed or not )
Camera nahi hain yaar :).... tab tak all of u will hav to make do with my verbal rather written communication.

Walking across my office figuring out how to cross..(crosswalk pe hii cross karna padta hai) across a lane with trees on both sides it is gud u knw..
am also near the rutgers university :) so ekdum movie set hii lagta hain

"Sorry the system is having sum problem ..please cud u cum tmrw......"... thats when i looked up...a security officer was telling me that ..i had gone to get my access card...that tooo after waiting for abt 20 mins.... gr8 i thought wapas idhar tak kal chalo
it is another building just ahead and uske aandar toh u get lost...yesterday took a while to figure that out ..phir pata chala kii basement mein kahiii toh hai ..."Ok sure " I said and went to walk down(4 mins) down the heavenly path i.e cobbled street ...

Moved to my new place today..sharing an apartment with aquaintance...aaj savere got up like at 6.45 as she goes early as she wrks in new york. since i will be catching the Train to my office thought of going with her ...Just got up sumhow aadhe neend mein and we were out by 7.20 to catch the shuttle which wud drop us to train station to catch the 7.52 :)
ekdum mumbaiyyya jaise bol rahee huun naah ...local fast slow etc etc :)
abhi aur practise karnee hain...(while cuming it was ok as public thee) ab jaate waqt jaara R&D maarna padga as i will be gng frm here alone.(till i get sum public)....

New Brunswick where i wrk is three station away frm MetroPark station..(so that leaves with no time for cutting vegetables,etc as in mumbai local train;) )

Then as soon as i got down (as suggested by my roomie) went to get a train pass...most of it is vending machine se.. i was not sure whether i hav that much money ...so went hunting for ticket pass frm the teller....yehan pe train station uppar hai... i mean apne yeha pe station niche hai and ek platform se doosre platform u go by overhead bridge
yehan ek hii set of platform hai like 1 and 2 and it is at apna overbridge ke height
so u hav escalator going on top or steps and then there are counters also.

Train toh is not like India...(not exactly like Dilwale Dulhaniya also..that was costlier version or long distance type i guess) Aluminum types with automatic doors will be closed when train is running toh jumping out of train ka saawal hii nahi ...once inside it is pretty spacious..with a two ppl sitting capacity seat...and uske baju mein three ppl can sit(4 if ur thin i guess) and the conductor cums to chk ur tkt...the drive is gud ...fast....par today i was jsut thinking abt where to get down toh did not look out of window much except if there was a station there..

"It is pretty easy and effortless" but i will tell that tmrw after my today ka exp :)

then again went to security office to get the badge....uska camera wrk nahi kar raha tha...toh then he got a digicam...(itna mann kiya poochne ko kiii kitne mein khareeda :) my normal question back in india) fortunately badge ka photu toh aa gayaa par he said kii woh afternoon tak hhii hoga ..i was like phirse aao ohh noo... toh usne bola will be delivered to ur office front desk....sahii hain i thought :)

hey guys aisa mat socho ki mereko kaam nahi hain...just yeh hain kii mein updates dene ke liye time nikal rahee huun ;) mail ya forward karne mein jyada time nahi lagta hai ...toh if ur getttng sum mail or fwd frm me does not mean kii i am not wrking just that i am multi tasking :))

college ke baad dabbaaa leke jaane ka prayog meine idhar start kar diya...shyam ko make the food and then tak it the next day ke liye as savere utkey bana nahi saktein bahut late hoga...maybe thode time ke baad can try that...cafeteria ke khane se toh theek hai kuuch bhi
pehde do diinnn toh eggplant try kiya, phir kuuch rice noodles type try kiya...aur ek dinn bahar khaya..waise eggplant is brinjal :)) okra is lady's finger :)
veg hii safe lagta hai...agar katcha hai toh bhi theek hai :) non veg ke alag varieties se mein abhi getting used to hii ho rahee huun.

Finally dopahar ko gayee to get the badge toh pata chala kii aaya hii nahi hai...phir socha thoda grace period de de...went to bank to get a form toh bank mein woh banda mila...dekhtein hii bola i hav just given to front desk.. i was like cool
atleast one gud thing abt the badge is that nahi toh everyday hav to get a temp access card...roj pasasport dikhao abhiyan....

chalo aaj ke dinn ke liye itna hii hee
tak care
