Build Up to BOSTON

// November 9th, 2006 // Uncategorized

this weekend i went down to boston…. i know thats against the entire pigs(poor indian graduate student) – school of thought(or action; if ever) but i had ycombinator paying for it …..so i think it wasnt that bad an idea…….the bucolic simplicity of st.louis shouts out loud against Boston’s fast charm…… the colossal airport is a good rude shock …… the flight to Boston was eventful enough ….to get a comment here

the countdown to the Boston trip was excruciating….. trying to extract 56 hours out of a weekend is mathematically impossible…..now imagine trying to synchronize this extraction across 2 distinct pigs (bala & me) twas tough….. since procastination is only known tool we left the “supposed” menial thoughtless task of packing stuff to the last minute(BIG MISTAKE!!)…..and slept; against the plan…since the cheap flight that we could afford was at 7:30(an unearthly hour) in the morning… we had to get up real early i mean so early it was closer to the time we usually crash ( non avionically) ……. i finally got up with my 4th alarm (yes i have 4 alarms; no its not a hobby; yes i know what snooze is!!) …..grabbed coupla t-shirts ….got my self into the first pair of jeans i could find…..and started banging on bala’s door. both are in foul mood …. my stomach wants me to back to bed…..somehow we mange to push ourselves out the friday dawn tis chilly…..we drugde to the nearby metro rail station……there was stuff that we had forgotten ….. that we’d realize once we shake ourselves out of this somnambulism….reach lambert(airport) with the most serene sunrise i’ve seen in the US ( my only sunrise witnessed long enough to register)

its only when i sit in the plane ( we made it ; yeah!!) that i realize that i have forgotten my charger for my cell….& bala has forgotten the charger of his laptop….. i am off to a city where i havent been before….dont know anyone…..all i have is a phone number and my cell with its battery fading out….. i am off to give a presentation saved on the laptop but no charger….its battery is fadin out too……
A-ha Boston here we come!!!!
