Friend in Mumbai

Three friends

Late nights...

Up until 2.30 AM, trying to finish some office stuff. After not sleeping for a while, you enter this sort of zombie-like zone where you seem to be on auto mode. Not the time when you want to do something new or creative, but a great time to finally finish that thing which failed N times for N different reasons and needs yet another try.

Made a month long trip to India a month back, had a hectic but great time. Multiple trips between 3 different cities made the whole vacation pretty interesting. Threw in a visit to Tirupati in that mix as well. Did not get a spiritual experience in Tirupati, my abiding memories will be of a very crowded place, a 2-3 hour wait in a queue and of a multi-second glimpse of the main idol at the end of it. My taste for religious places runs to quiet places where you can look inward and contemplate. Met some close friends from school and college days, felt really good. Put up a few of those snaps. Should upload more of them later.

A friend of mine is moving to Japan, I imagine the culture shock will be greater for an Indian in Japan than in the US. Just my thought, do not have any strong supporting evidence. Language would be an issue, I guess.
