A two months old scribbling

Found this one on my iphone's notes application, something that I scribbled 2 months back, found it nice so here it is

Atlanta international airport ,Georgia 6 am

My eyes are red, the free coffee from Airtran did not help big time into waking me up ,, may be couple of cappuccino s from the next door Starbucks might do the job but I doubt ..

It's been 3 &1/2 days of the trans-American trip now drawing to a close . . What starting off as a late night plan on my early nights at Pittsburgh has now materialized and is over .. Adding 3 more states to this great American pilgrimage spanning 10 or 11 ( I m still confused ) states over 89 days

5$ gambled at vegas . . Onam. Special lunch @ LA , homage to Micheal Jackson at his Beverly hills residence,, the super scenic drive along the pacific coast . . Crossing over to the it hub of silicon valley . Then sneaking on through the golden gate into the crooked streets of San Francisco . . The city that does not need a Disneyland to give the roller coaster experience & sadly flying off from SF back to Pittsburgh . . I never thought I would ever be sad boarding a flight to Pittsburgh . . Been days of rewinding memories back to the good old Bhavans days (thanks to RV) & a run down the alleys of the ever green NITC days ( Thomas n Matt guiding the tour ). The all awaited west coast trip is over and I am back 3 hours towards india

The sky is beginning to wake up to a lazy day after the Labour day weekend . It's time to get back to work and leave the west coast tales all treasured only to make sure that I do all that I can to get back to Hotel of California.


P S : I am yet to edit the pile of images from the US .. guess they should begin their journey through copper cables some time early december

Times Square NYC

704, Hotel Affinia, 7th Avenue,31st St. that is where this post is being keyed in. 400m off the picturesque TIMES SQUARE. The party here never ends, we were there till 2 am and it was just picking up. What has been the significant difference that this city had from the other cities that i visited here is the energy that you get to see here. Life is 'hip n happening' with everyone having the feeling that they are on the 7th heaven, everyone happy and lost in their own world.

I did manage to capture a few of these moments on my 350D but not really happy with the shots i got, some of them are nice though. Was all set to take a panorama of the times square when a cop came in and asked - "Sir, do you have a permit to use this, the tripod, If not, please fold it up and get going, you can take hand-held shots though.". After being scared already on the "TOP OF THE ROCK" for opening up the tripod, I did not attempt it again.

This city really personifies PASSION,AMBITION,ENTHUSIASM and so on. One thing I would have loved to have in NYC is air-conditioning of the subway stations, they literally burn. Another detailed post on NYC, its attractions, how to do a quick and tiring tour of NYC :)

This is Srikanth signing off @ TIMES SQ. NEW YORK CITY

Blackwater falls - in the lap of mother nature - how much longer

I am reading "Hot, Flat & Crowded" .. the fact that the world is through a critical climate era is slowly sinking in. We are in great need of the single big quality - COMMITMENT, know that it is a lot to ask for but the ask is at a time where we can do something to alter it. Any time later, we can only brood.

We drove down to this super serene landscape at West Virginia ( the states coined - WILD n WONDERFUL .. it truly was ). Had some great time with the camera, doing decently well on the 30 sec shots ,, got one lovely shot of Elekala falls .. bottom line had oodles of FUN. Here is another entry to my list of MUST VISIT AGAIN

PS : will finish the book and write on it soon and going to NYC tmrw :)
