Some little irrelevant things..

As I ended my vacation, where I only worked 50 hours/week [yes, thats what it was, it sucks], I headed back to my little rat-hole....back to my state, my workplace.

It is so different to go on a vacation at one place and use it to work at another place! guess thats what the pain of being an immigrant is all about! ;) But anyways, coming back to the main point, I was really looking forward to driving back from this little hibernation, not for the work, not for the people back there, but for the thrill of driving....it wasn't a long drive, about 4 hours, but I had been planning a lot for it. Got a new set of songs on my mp3 player, got some new air freshners in my car, a nice steering cover and a pair of sunglasses......To top it all, my little baby (car) had been troubling me past couple of weeks, so much so that till a few hours before the start of the drive, I wasnt sure if I was going to be able to drive it! But guess, everything turned out well. After spending a bit of fortune on it, I finally managed to get it on the road..relaxing...

The whole drive was serene, not much traffic, not many stupid drivers....I did almost come close to meeting with an accident. A person entering the highway did not slow down enough to let me pass and turned his car to my lane without indicating. It was a good thing I was alert, I immediately pulled over to the next lane and honked. As luck would have had it, there was a car in the very next lane, who had to further go to the other lane! My heart sank in my stomach, that was a close call, had he not changed his lane. I looked at him and he gave me a thumbs up. I never wish that a cop be around when I am driving, but this time I sure wished he was....He would have booked this idiot.

Anyways, I came back safe and sound without any further incidents. The drive was worth every minute. Its been a few days since I got back, but still at work, I keep thinking about the beautiful countryside I went past a few days ago.....

The world is truly beautiful.
