"Life is all about choices. It's a maze you have to walk through. The path we choose will decide our fate, our destiny, our very identity. Once you choose a path, you have to walk it. There is no turning back. I find myself now at the darkest part of the maze. Everyday is just another day for me."

the month in review

Today, I logged into blogger after a gap of over a month. I really can't help but feel guilty over the way I've been neglecting blogging after reaching here. I console myself by saying that I don't have the time, which is true, sort of... to an extent. Well, maybe it's not all that true.

Ok, you got me. The truth is that I am a very evil (non) blogger. Once a month, when the moon is full, this evil blogger updates his blog. *cackles evilly* (Is there any other way to cackle anyway?)

Actually, it's been a fun month. Loads of travelling all over the East Coast, road trips left, right and center. Every weekend this month was pre-booked for yet another journey. Starting right from Florida the first week, where we visited the Disney world theme parks and Universal Studios. Next up was a trip to Chicago, the land of Al Capone. Coming in third was a trip to Indianapolis, where we caught the F1 Grand Prix. Amazing pictures were taken, which will be shared soon. Finally, last weekend was a trip to Atlanta, which at 7 hours of travel one way, was by far the shortest! Our motto for the last month, in short, was that a journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single turn of the ignition.

Yes, I just put in a month of travel into one paragraph, when I could've written at least 5 posts on it. But it's just the evil blogger in me. Maybe I will write an entire post or two about the highlights, but for now, that's it. People who know me well will not hold their breath for that post, though.

The highlight for the last trip to Atlanta was that we bumped into none another than A R Rahman and Hariharan. We were just hanging out at the mall on a lazy Saturday afternoon, getting bored out of our skulls, nursing a cup of tea, when we saw Rahman stepping off the escalator! He was in Atlanta on tour, and had come to visit the promotions office. Unfortunately, before we could recover from the shock, he'd already gone in, and all I managed were a few grainy pics with my mobile. We'd no cameras with us, since we were just in the mall. As we went down the escalator, we see Hariharan going up the other escalator. We must have set a record for running down the escalator and running up the other. We finally caught up with him, and managed to get one quick pic. And luckily for us, Rahman was about to leave at the time, and we managed to get another pic with him. One which I can cherish for some time to come. Check these out.

If you've got it, flaunt it, I always say. Until the next full moon then.
