After a lot of efforts of US officials to keep me out of their country, I am finally able to sneak in (ofcourse legally!!). But now I understand that they wanted to keep me away only for my good, so ultimately I am here.. in Waukesha County.. "enjoying" in temperature aroud 0'... Hey!! don't get it wrong.. am talking here in Fahrenhites and not in Celsius.
No ppl on road, impossible to take even a 100 meter walk in this weather, No car to ride, living with 3 guys in a 1BHK, life in US would have been still good if I didnt find her 5 years back or I should say Life in US could have been great if she was with me...
But just like the song goes "Ain't no sunshine when she is gone", I am waiting some miracle to happen when my sunshine could be here on our terms..
Our Sad and Boring story apart, good or bad, am finally in US.. the United States of America!!!! Three weeks are about to be over.... and due to the lack of commutation means, I could only visit some Super Markets (on weekends when my roommate takes his car out for weekly grocery shopping), the Harley Davidson Museum (when my other roommate and I took a Car rental and some how managed to reach the museum) and the Only Casino in Milwaukee (when on the last weekend one of the colleague showed some pity and took us there)..
Nothing special about the weekend outing to the super markets.. but renting a car was really interesting... I got the International Driving Permit from India and just after 2 days in US when the weekend arrived we took a car on rent. Needless to mention the opposite driving conditions and dependability on GPS in US. Both my friend and I being new in US, he was managing the GPS and I was managing the Steering. We went on the freeway and were more often missing the exits then taking the right ones.
Nervousness was increasing and confusion was building when the GPS said "Take......" and the battery was gone.. and that was the moment when I understood the term "Cold Sweat" in the freezing temperature of Milwaukee. Fortunately, the charger was there in the cover.
Roaming here and there, losing our way most of the times, in the night when our trip was about to be over... I heard a cop siren and in the rear view mirror there were blinking lights of the Cop Van. Oh God!! Now what mistake did I Do!! I stopped the car aside and put my hands on the steering (thanks to all the american movies I have seen). The cop came in few minutes, asked for my ID and asked the reason for driving in high beam. God!! that could be the last reason of being caught!! I gave my IDP which he looked with a lot of suspicion and took that back in his VAN. After 5 minutes of waiting there, he came back, warned again and gave my ID back..
So finally, the announcement was done that Ayush Garg has arrived in US. Even the cops have my IDP number listed in their records :)
