One can lead life without anything but internet and car in US; especially in states like Mississippi, if you don’t have car, week end life will be house-arrested. Going to grocery shopping, commutation to work, bank related work - you need to have a car for all these happen. Luckily we have a grocery store close by 5 minutes walk and managing commutation to work by car-pool. Once I got bored, checked for public library close by, found one within 3.5 miles. I just decided to walk thinking 3.5 miles is just 3.5 km. No pedestrian path way, winter session - all took toll on my body which led to Flu twice in two week.
To overcome this humdrum life, we rented a car a month back thanks to Enterprise policy of car rentals with Indian driving license. Since other don’t have original driving license, we took rental in my name. One of my colleagues with whom we go car-pool, came with us to Enterprise, took us to a nearby park and stayed with us till I get confirmable with US roads and driving system which is just opposite to what I used to in India. We booked for compact car at weekend offer rate and enterprise gave us free upgrade to intermediate car. The car, Pontiac by GM, which we got was new and had 10k mileage. Nice car and US roads ensured our driving experience pleasant. We went for shopping, roamed around a bit in Ridgeland and Jackson to get used to US roads.
Took few snaps during this time; few photos are over exposed and few others are under exposed coz we tried to become pro with manual option by controlling shutter speed and aperture size in my camera.
