My Trip to Idaho & Bear Lake





This is my first trip in US. The itenary of the trip was planned by Ali. The night b4 the trip went on chit chatting all 5 of us(Niru, Gautam, Deepak, Ali and Me) till 12:30. Ali got a wierd idea of going to Smith's at night 12:30 to get groceries. We told Deepak and Gautam to get ready by 8 which ultimately worked out and they came at 9. IST hain naa...so ek ghanta hi late. Finally our trip started at 10 am coz we got late making sandwiches which turned out to be a big flop. Our healthy sandwiches weren't touched by gautam at all. Niru forced ali ,deepak & me to eat some. The journey to lake walcott was good with nice sceneries of utah and idaho passing. Here comes the famous niru point. We all climbed one tree and took some pictures. Niru is so enthu that she is the first person who wanted to climb up the tree...and while coming down, man she was so scared and thez ppl made so much of fun out of this huss-buss. Ali captured the moments in a video which is the best i have seen ever. We named that tree as "Niru Point". We then proceeded to Thousand Springs. The hiking up the stones to go to the lemon falls and drenching under cold water was very good. We started back home and lost our way somewhere near pocatello. That made us drive for some 2 hrs extra. Ali made us see the beautiful stars in the dark which was a good sight to see. Finally we r back. The next day we started to Bear Lake. It was a wonderful sight to see the bright blue color water. Hey...have to mention some of my stunts in the bear lake now. Our car got stuck in the beach and i was asked to sit in the car and reverse it. When the care got out of sand, i was supposed to apply brakes which for GOD's sake i dont know where they were. That was my driving skill. Thanks to Mr. Reddy who taught me driving charing me Rs.2500. He never gave me control of the car. He himself applied brakes and accelerator whenever i needed to do. So finally my brain worked and applied brakes. When i got out, everyone were screaming. It's then i realized how near i took the car into the lake. Good that we were safe. How stupid do i do sometimes. Forgot to mention about Gautam's 360 degree profile pics and my drill session photos in the water which were part of our wonderful moments. The much needed break we all deserved. Had a very nice time spending close to the nature. Utah is really the most beautiful place with good greenery. I hope we make some more nice trips like this.

The rushing dayz in US

It's been 2 months that my examz r over. The summer course which i took is almost ending. Have to give the final exam next week. Ghosh days r just flying like anything. Weekends r just passing swiftly. I can't imagine myself that it's been 6 months i left India. Well...lemme tell u about my Prof. Dave today. On the first look u can think he is a typical person wearing spects and a beard. The man who cracks non-sense jokes which am sure he only can understand. He uses a uni-cycle which is very difficult to balance. A typical guy fundoo in modelling things. The first day at class was so horrible sitting in the class for 2:30 mins. Can you imagine our situation in the class. After much thought, i decided to continue with the class thinking that it will end in a month. Before i got adjusted to his teaching, the course ended. The way he came up wid examples and theory to pass 2 1/2 hrs. was good. Much better than other proffs. There is one other person who comes to my mind when i think of this class. Josh....who constantly laughs for every joke of dave. His laugh is like a huge siren in a silent class. He suddenly starts laughing which makes me come into class atmosphere out of my dreams. Then only we can realize that dave cracked a joke. We had absolute grading for this course. Dave's constant efforts to make us pass were quite funny too. He made us give a test for 150 and he then reduced it to 125. That made some of my friends score 130 out of 125. Quite amusing naa.....Well...i took this course thinking i could increase my GPA with a single course to study. But am struggling hard to get atleast B now. Let's see how things go in the next week. Hoping for a good score. Bye for now.
