First look at Cincinnati

It all happened suddenly. It was only a week before that I was enjoying the time at going through the same routine of traveling on Hosur Road, morning and evening, in that traffic and thought it was the way of life now, for some time to come. Then there was always my parents and home food to look forward to when I was at home. I soon had to leave all that back for a new experience of my life.
I had to travel to Cincinnati over some project assignment and hence left the shores of India for the first time. I was very nervous, apprehensive about living alone and about the immigration process really. I hadn't any time to be completely mentally prepared for this.
Even at the airport, i was having that odd feeling. Nervousness overshadowed the expectancy and the excitement. For a not so frequent traveler in planes, the visiting of 3 airports in a day was way too unusual.
Most of the things looked new and I was visiting the Bangalore International Airport for the first time, and was happy to see that it did not deserve all the bashing people were giving it till now.
I fell in love with the Paris airport. I wondered the beauty of Paris City by just looking at the airport.
I landed in the Cincinnati airport, all left alone and no one to turn to for guidance. My manager did not sound too responsive when I spoke to him from India. I took a taxi and went to the accommodation. Snow covered all over the place and roads that were too empty.
Either the roads were big and wide or there were no people around at all. I mean imagine me traveling on Hosur road the day before with buses almost abutted to each other and here one vehicle might pass yours in every 2 minutes.
It has been a week now here at Cincinnati. Work has not got into the 4th gear yet. I could not eat Pizzas daily at office. That was the only Veg option available there. I started cooking my lunch as well. Me and my roomie have had some amazing food though.
The manager who was so unresponsive when spoken from India was more than helpful when we met and spoke here. The first day I went to the office, they took me to a nice Indian restaurant named 'Ammas Kitchen'. The food is just awesome there. Ive already gone there twice till now.
Ive cooked some amazing food here myself. Cooked Vegitable sabji a few times. First time the amount of salt was less but then on it has come out good. I cooked Pulav,Sambar and Dal for the first time. Pulav was just awesome, Dal and Sambar was good. Well all I can say is that ill surely become a good cook here. Im just loving the experience.
The weather is too unpredictable and fluctuating here. It is cold tough. I never thought I would say 0 degree Celsius is manageable and not cold some day in my life. I had probably experienced 0 C a couple of time earlier and that was too cold for me. my hands all paining and the face turning all numb. But now 0 C is really manageable when compared to -12, -8 C. The worst part is people say here that Officially the winter in US starts today, the 21st Dec. What can i say, Ill have to get though -20 C is what they told. no way out. When i look out of my window now as i write and see sunlight. With what ive seen this last couple of weeks, sunlight surely means another snowfall later in the day.
Well will share all the other experiences of my travel and stay later. It would continue probably till the excitement dies down.
Well you can have a look at the snaps here
