Life at Houston - 2

Yeah...10 mins...and then getting ourselves ready in 10mins of time and believing (literally praying) for the bus to be late ....and rushing towards the stop...it makes a gawky look with these Americans sensing something wrong with us and keep looking at us in an odd fashion...I dont understand...even after these many Indians staying here, they still dint completely get to know about us...lol.... yeah...rushing and catching the bus at last.... and panting ofcourse we enter and and driver gives a gawky expression yet another time...then we enter and find some of our folks already in there and start a loud conversation usually compelled with an even louder laughter and of course(two words! and SHIT!) commenting on the fellow "Kallu" ( No offense) travellers and having laughter.... then we enter our school after a tiresome yet refreshing 30minute travel....and again rushing (We, Indians do rush a lot! ) to catch up with the part-time work at the campus and realizing its again late and working out a theory to explain in case if the boss needs some clarification on we being late all the times to work! ....Quite Desi! Then catching up with work....and yeah....I did not skip about the break-fast thing....but the thing is that we skip the break-fast (Reason: You know it! ) , then feeling hungry...we wait for the boss to go out on a scheduled meeting and quickly slip to a near by Satellite or the University Center where the health conscious people rely on Subway food, and the usual food-lovers latching on to the Taco or the more tasty (Calorie) Pizza Hut! I dont know how it starts, but we people do get aware of the word calorie... and start babbling about it...Comon, what have you been eating for the past 20 years and how many calories does it weigh ? ( lol...I dont want to blasphemize too much on those for me being one of those calorie conscious guy :P, it gets into you with people talking so much about that) ....then...quickly having the break-fast cum brunch cum lunch at the same time and quickly getting back to work!

And the usual work starts and believe me, more than 70% of the people working literally have no work to do or too little to do....yeah! its true! and the rest 30%... poor guyz...have to get their heads out to solve the issues....and in this sense am lucky! :D .... Then getting done with work....we wait for the bunch of people to gather up and it usually means 30 minutes of wait....I hate to wait! gather and set off home in a bus, of course and indeed with the usual LOUD factor ringing in constantly....finally getting back to home and getting back to our respective homes and making some instant food and getting ourselves satiated of having filled in the belly and not needed to eat anything for the next 4 hours (pretty soon we are found feeding ourselves with some or the other instant stuff :P).... then...rings our phone! someone of our friends calling up...and asking the usual rhetoric question, "Wats up to night ?" aaah...No...yet again!! We are soon seen collected and heading towards Valero, a near by gas station where we buy the liquids! Then we quickly roll out and seen sipping yet another time....Sometimes it gets overdose...but in the usual week days everyone almost keep themselves controlled! .... (Well....All the talk I have been doing so far is only about the weekdays, there is lots of action to be jotted down for the weekend stuff and thrills!) ... But it is a different sense, different feel to be sipping in with so many people (the regular count is at least 8 and expected to rise to 15 during the weekends)....After having the regular share....we slip past back to the respective homes again.....and start cooking something to get ourselves feeded and then the usual night-midnight-early morning melo drama starts.... and then its a repeat from what I have posted earlier!!

Continued!! I think its going to be a huge post!! To describe an experience of 9 months does take lots of time !!

Well, its already 6:02 now and I guess its time to sleep....got to study lots of stuff tomorrow.....need some good nights err... morning's sleep....

FYI: In Dino so far played 5 times and the current track is "Ahista by Pankaj Udhas", super one! Listen to it if you havent yet! I dont exactly get the lyrics but do get the FEEL :) .....

This post will be continued.......ciao!
