Summer @ Chennai, Winter @ Kashmir !!!

Doesn't this title sound horrible? This horrible story is happening to me. I suffered at Jackson, Mississippi all thru the summer. Now I've moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota into winter session. St. Cloud is one-stop drivable distance from Canada, so max effect of snow can be felt here.

Somehow countering my friends like 'Who am I? We are the type of people who meet the lion in it's cave? - I met the sun @ Jackson in summer and going to meet winter @ St. Cloud in December”. Let's count like Vadivelu how much suffer this body can take?

Minneapolis – St. Cloud jet which I took had only six passengers. The guy who got the first class ticket was made to sit on the last seat to balance the wait during travel; he was given a consolatory word of 'we are giving you a seat with more leg space' :)

St. Cloud is a small town 70 miles north of Minneapolis – St. Paul twin city; incidentally this city is a highly populated area in central region. Farming and Fishing are the major activities around this city – no wonder in the land of 10k lakes.

Unlike my stay in Jackson, I am staying close to the office with decent bus facility and close to another big city, Minneapolis. One more good thing is lot of my colleagues are working in this office and staying the apartment complex. Few east-west coast friends were telling that we could meet while they travel to Minneapolis.

'I heard a gun shot recently' from my one of the clients welcomed me in Jackson, 'Guns are banned in office' board welcomed in St. Cloud.

Will keep you posted on COUNTS!!!!
