Tomorrow marks something...

Yes, I almost forgot - tomorrow marks the 7th year anniversary of my arrival in the United States. That was 1998 when I landed at LAX, wearing a heavy brown shirt, brown jeans and an awesome belt, with reebok shoes (brown as well). I sure must have looked like an idiot at that time (not to mention now)....hoping to find this guy who said he'll pick me up. All I know that he is a student under the same advisor as mine and he is the son of my undergrad prof as well. Well, on a side note, he has turned out to be one of my closest friends and even like a mentor at times.



Somebody was holding a name card, looking for me and I naturally assumed that he is "the guy", but turns out that he just accompanied "the guy". I was glad to be in LA - I didn't like to think that's where my university is based or that's the cultural/entertainment capital - I was rather thinking of it more on the lines of a place where they shoot baywatch. Well, the two guys must have had good entertainment having me in the car when I asked them to take me first to the beach, hoping to find some good looking orange-clad life guards :) None of the three can forget that car ride, on ofcourse the now-infamous 405N.
