so there we were sitting in California Kitchen Pizza along with my team here at Stamford and both Offshore and Onsite delivery managers asking questions from us regarding how to get this project from client for Managed services or rather asking how to save the projects from going into the hands of another vendor.
Well dinner was good a 'Veg Pizza' and a pepsi along. After finishing the dinner as we stepped out something was in the air...it was just today that I felt so much cold while coming to the office that i wished to go back home halfway onwards. When we leaving the office for dinner I checked the local temperature and it was -2 degrees but due to wind chill it felt like -7. Seeing this i asked my colleague why it doesnt snows here to which he said below 0 doesnt means that it should snow so i agreed feeling his experience of stay at onsite.
Add to that anu had sent a couple of snaps of snow covered roads and cars outside her house which made me even more intuitive about the snowfall.
But God had some other plans and he showered us with his small pieces of love in the form of snow. Again the cold was unbearable on the way back home but it was something to be cherished.
It was very less as compared to what we have seen in pictures or on tv.
Yes I had witnessed the first snow of the season here in stamford :)

On the way...
hmmm so am finally on my way to NJ all alone for the first time...
somehow got away from the office where it was like there was no end...
i dont know why people say that an onsite everyone leaves at arnd 4 or so.
its gng to be three months and there has not been a single day that i have been able to go
at 5:30 leave aside the 4 o'clock notion...and on top of that the great colleague that we have
got adds salt to the wounds and if that wasnt enough the great Indian lead is too much to
ask for who again rubs salt into the wounds...
anyways somehow left the office in time to catch the 7:30 train to NY
and boy where and all it didnt stop and no one was getting in our going out from the train at all
anyways still the 1 hour passed in the train watching old snaps of friends and near one.. ;)
when u get out of the Grand Central every time it feels the same and the same feeling of
landing onto the US shores...itz amazing how come there is such a city which just doesnt stops
it keeps on running like it is on fuel..it doesnt matter wat happens anywhere the city is
like that only...it never sleeps and never it will
in my rush to reach the penn station where i would need to catch the next train to Dover
i couldnt find a single cab. my difference was very less to reach there and catch the next train
at 8:47 but had i got a cab it sure would have been possible am thinking now...
on the way i forgot where to go and whom to ask for penn station...so who better to ask
than the cops...it is quite close to the times square or rather times square comes in
the way to the penn station sitting nicely below the Madison Square Garden...
also while going for 34th street and 7th avenue you cross the NY Broadway which cuts across
the NY like a knife witout stopping and in a diagonal manner, sounds and looks unique in
the city which is based like a Grid...
so i boarded the train at 9:40 scheduled to reach dover at arnd 11:04...which is ok i guess
anyways things are ok and not that bad as it seems
there is this beautiful lady sitting in fron of me who has the luggage along with her...
she has got a cell phone from verizon and if that wasn't not enuff she has also got with
her a blackberry with her using which she would be surfing the net...
i ask aint it too much what all people have on their disposal here...
hard to find a poor person here compared to the numerous ones we have back home...
really and truly it has dawned on me that this is a real prosperous country
they are never short of anything and it amazes me a lot
if you see there is no dust or anything,i ask how and why...?
but some of these questions will always be unanswered like the girl sitting in front of
thats why i wonder what she is doing with her blackberry.....
