P for...

Pleasant - The weekend stay up in Charlotte, North Carolina at Ritu Masi's. I was there hardly for a Saturday. The other two days - Friday and Saturday - were spent traveling. The journey is only 4 hours one way, but let's just say...

Public Transportation - sucks! I took Greyhound both ways. And I was nothing less than...

Pissed - My bus was supposed to leave at 8 AM on Friday. I arrived on time at the station, had my ticket in hand, was waiting patiently. 7:50, 7:55, 8:00, 8:10, 8:20 - no word about the bus. I finally go up to the counter to find out what's happening, only to discover the bus left! WTF... I had to wait another 3.5 hours to catch the next bus. A new issue while returning. The bus I was to board was overbooked! Had to wait another 1 hour.

Pathetic - Greyhound toilets. I had to...

Pee - but I couldn't. While going to Charlotte, I only had to hold it for about 2-3 hours. But I set a new record on my way back - six long hours of bladder control.

Let's talk about happy things now....
Phenomenal - Ritu Masi's new house. Huge kitchen, spacious rooms, a mandir that can hold 30-40 people easily, nice neighborhood, beautiful lake view from every angle of the house, HDTVs (yes, multiple HD TVs), nice furniture, what not! Oh, and 900+ TV channels. Hmm...

Back to my own reality now...
Psyched - that's too strong a word, but still I'll use it (for the heck of 'P for...') to describe my emotions about an NYC trip, coming up in 2 days. Leaving Tuesday evening, returning Sunday. Driving.

  2. Pssst,,glad ur driving this time!! Talk of public transportation, they dont have one in my area, the reason being they dont want "all sort" of people living in as their neighbours!! while they live in the city which is comprised of those "all sort" of people!! I wish people would grow up some time,, Good luck for your NY trip!!
