And that's as much Latin as I needed for the title... As Journey once sang,
“The mist is slowly lifting
The sound of life misplaced your mind
You're sitting, spellbound through out time
I hope that you remember what you find
Singin' more of a lifetime”
And both Nandita and I continue to enjoy the experiential blow-away more than a 100 days later.
In the interval, we’ve managed to squeeze in quite a few things: terrace parties in Chennai (a new high for an acrophobic me) - meeting old friends in Bangalore at the 13th Floor (Standing on Higher Ground, a'la Alan Parsons?) - consular office visits - visa blues - British Air - losing our bags at JFK - jet lagging - her first deep freeze experience in Rochester's sub zero climes - retrieving our bags in Rochester - spending New Years Eve in NYC with our other brethren (met up with Deepak and Lavanya as well as the one and only irrepressible Gudur) - exploring the dives in the Greenwich area - mall ratting and shopping like there’s no tomorrow - watching movies the old-fashioned way (holding hands, lots of popcorn and Coke) - playing the occasional game of scrabble - went Greek (in case you were getting any ideas, we decided to stick just with their cuisine) - skiing at Swain Mountain (I actually discovered and sprained a few muscles below my coccygeal area that I earlier never knew existed) - wine tasting at some 7-8 vineyards in the Cayuga Lake area (a ferpect way to shpend a Shunday, hic!!!) - driving up to an almost deserted Niagara Falls and back (its quite peaceful without the touristy crowd, moi excepted of course) - amongst others.
Anyways I've suddenly got writer's block now and there's a hot breakfast waiting for me... so methinks, I gosta go... You should have seen some of the pics by now... my better half is more diligent than I am in mailing them out...
Here's wishing we both keeping singin' more through our lifetime... and remembering to be digging it while it's happening because it just might be a one shot deal each of those occasions!!!
Peace
