Unforgettable trip, Unforgettable people

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

I am back to Chennai after a fabulous 3 months in San Jose.

To me personally the most amazing thing about this trip was the set of people i met and interacted in these 3 months. I could never find answers to questions like “What have i done to them for being so incredibly nice and helpful? How will i ever repay them back?”

Special thanks to bloggers Sundar Narayanan, Adengappa, Dinesh, Subhashini, Kutti priya for tolerating me in person and over phone. Do call me whenever you come to chennai, i owe you guys a big treat!

Narayanan sir and his family were beyond words.

People who i have never met nor worked in my workplace were more than willing to accommodate and help me out on my shortcomings.

Will i ever invite a person who i have not known nor seen before, and is from a different culture to my place for an overnight stay along with his friend? My senior in workplace did precisely that during my yosemite trip!

I am leaving out my close buddies without whom this trip would not have been possible. I am sure they are reading this blog but hey they are my close friends and in some cases i know everyone in their family and i don’t need to say more.

If anything this trip was a lesson for me in trust, broadmindedness, friendliness, and willingness to help from some of the folks who are definitely a few notches above me in all aspects of life.
