The kind of I was and I am, I always take risks, I am always enamored by the unknown (I guess we all are). When the leaves are on ground, and the sky is blue, I always wondered what it would be like in Cali—in contrast to the Indian subterranean lands where I’ve been raised—sp unexposed to the cultures of the world seven seas apart. As we know, life constitutes of people, no matter how romantic you can get with the nature around you, you are apprehensive, bound to fear the “natures” around you in a foreign land. It is quite different when you know that you aren’t going to be around the place for long—the very fact that I wanted to embrace California and its people always clicked inside my mind when I had decided that if there was only one foreign place I would like to experience completely in this life, then California A.K.A Cali would be the place I would pick.

The people in San Francisco were nice to the extent that made me believe that the people are pretending, and they are what they are because they don’t wanted to discreetly preserve the dark sides that we all are composed of. And now, as I was ready to breathe the first wave of the airs in San Diego shores, I wasn’t sure about which way the winds would blow in the shores.

I wanted to meet people, I wanted to meet guys, and I wanted to see how they laugh, I wanted to penetrate their thoughts. Not much would have been possible, if not for two wonderful blokes on the block—Andrew Merkle and Jordan. They have accepted me in a way a son separated from his mother for 15 years can accept her son. Be it, “Whad up shwady? You want a snap? What’s good? You’re feeling good? You’re sick? —everything has been good beyond what an average guy walking down the road of a foreign country can expect. You are possibly the sole reason I can go back to India and say United States rocks!! It’s important to me in many ways, no matter what people think about it, I wanted to be part of you, I wanted to feel home outside home, you have made me feel the home away from home.

Andrew: We can do, what we do, when we do in back of the Lac, I’m like I’m all up for that

Jordan:

Tic Tac, Tic Tic Tac

Doesn’t really matter cause you aint fat

We are doing that

Are you doing that?

You know what I am talking about right?

Peace….
