Ideas solicited
Periyorgale Thaimargale,
The last few weeks have been ratha kalari at work. That explains my absence from blogosphere.
A quick update from my end, due to force of circumstances stylishly referred to as ‘kaalathin kattayam’ by RMV, I might land up in the west coast of US of A by this month end. I can hear some folks say ‘Enna kodumai saravanan idhu’, Even i could not resist that either 
Coming to the fact of the matter, those of you living in and around bay area, if you happen to watch a shabby looking unpolished, unkempt tamilian on the roads in the next few weeks, just stop by and say hi
Other seasoned NRI folks, who are past masters at what to bring (for a hardcore south indian vegetarian) and what not to bring for a business trip, please send your ideas, tips and tricks to my mail ID.
US blogosphere makkals who would not mind vetti mokkai with an idiot in the next few months, please send your phone numbers to my mail (prabukarthik at google dot com).
Stay tuned…

PK,
Oddly enough, I posted an article about this on my blog just a couple of days back. Although it is targeted at students, you might be able to adapt it to your own needs.
The link is http://www.nirenjan.com/2007/09/travel-to-usa/.
Regarding foodstuffs, I’d suggest you try asking somebody in the Bay area. But I suspect you will find some Indian stores there.
Good luck with your on-site assignment.

Welcome to the Bay Area !.
This is one great place to be in. You will find everything here.
Probably one thing you require is filter coffee if you are finicky about that.
There are numerous Indian restaurants, groceries etc. There are also frequent cultural events, katcheries etc.
I live in Fremont . Feel free to contact me . I’m a long time reader of your blog !.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Ideas solicited, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
