~~catching up with friends~~

I was met two of college mates and one of my school friend over this weekend, returning back home after spending a wonderful time!

~~pass time activities~~

This is how I spend few evenings

~~Adventures at Mini golf~~

Sivaram took us to mini golf today evening ,a game which is very easy to play in computer.But playing with a golf stick in hand was different experience altogether.For a person who finds hard to kick a football directly into the goalpost trying to put a small ball into a smaller hole is something too much to ask for. It took sometime to hit the ball straight and there were bumps and slopes in the course making it more difficult to hit the ball into the hole which was difficult to see.




( That ball had its last day,never know where I hit it)

When I started the first shot I hit the ball with such a force it hit the wall and came back to the same position. In sixth course inorder to avoid a bump I hit the ball hard and never saw it again, then Siva had to pay for a new ball,next I hit the ball directly into the water. It reminded me of the tom and jerry cartoon where tom tries hard to hit the ball into the hole.In the mean time Siva was playing like a professional,Suji trying to match his level,even Riya was managing to hit few stuffs into the hole while I was still hitting the flies and mosquitoes around.



(Though it went inside the water I went on to finish the game with this one)

It took 90 minutes to finish the game and when we calculated the score I got the highest :)

~~My Hair cut experience~~

Due to my busy schedule I forgot that I had to cut my hair, the last time I did that was way back when I was in India. So when KG asked me what I m going to do in Chicago the first thing came to my mind was to have a hair cut.

Newyork is a city where I can be on my own, each and every shop is just few meters from my apartment but here I have to depend on Suji or Sivaram to take me to the shop. But the problem here was these people have never ventured into a hair cut shop in the locality.Last Monday Suji said lets explore and drove me to a shop, yea it was salon and there was a customer having her hair cut with a 'chatti' like thing on her head.By the look of it I didnt want to try there and since it was little expensive we decided to try something else.

Then Sivaram took me to another shop yesterday, which more resembled as a normal salon. This was the first time I m having a hair cut from a lady and as usual she was amazed to see how thick my hair was and asked how did I manage to grow like that.She asked me how do I want her to cut my hair, I replied its in your hand and you can do whatever you want.She pointed to a picture and told she will cut like that ,I said I m fine with and she started her job. After ten minutes when it was fully done she said go and check your weight you would have lost 10 pounds :).

Edit: Pic added for fans :)

~~Building Blocks~~

Apart from watching cartoons these are other important things I do.

Chicago is famous for its architecture ,so why not I give a try!

~~Saw mouse in Manhattan~~

After coming to Chicago I have watched the episode of Mouse in Manhattan more than three times with my niece, don't know how many more times I have to watch the same. Though taken in 1945 we can still compare how people coming from other parts of the world get amazed by seeing the city as Jerry does. There are parts like empire state building,rockfeller center and grand central station still looking the same as it was in 1945.



There are people who run away like Jerry getting too much from the city.
