Chicago

Hi Everyone,

Last time I promised that I will take you through the journey of my life. But it has been a long time that I even opened my blog.
Anyways, I will not continue from where I left, rather I will keep on writing in bits n pieces here n there.

So, guys, I am in Chicago in "THE US" as they call it. This is my first weekend in Chicago and it seems that I have been captured in this place since ages.

The day I landed in Chicago, I realized that this place is so differnt. People travel in miles and measure the temperature in fahreinheit. You bring home gallon of milk and you weigh in pounds. You do not get curd but you get yogurt. People do not eat chapatis/roti but they like tortillas. Initially it was so difficult for me to figure out Quarter, Dime, Nickel from each other. I am still confused between Nickel and Dime as in which one is 5 cents and which one is 10 cents.
It is just the onset of winter and there is snow all around. God knows what will happen around the new year. People say that Chicago is called the windy city, is normally colder than the other cities. If you are walking out and you don't have proper clothes on, it seems that the body portion revealed will freeze. We cannot see even a single person on road, when we are walking on road, we will be the the only two persons on road, braving the cold and walking to catch the bus to office/home.

I am eagerly waiting to return back to my homeland where I will travel in kilometers, eat curd and roti/chapati and bring milk in litres.

So thats what Chicago is to me for the first week I have stayed here. Will write about some thing else in my next post. Till then, keep waiting.

Luv
