Old postcard from Philadelphia

As i was rummaging my email archives for my frequent flyer number, i came across an email i had sent about my first international trip. Spawned recollection of a few memories. and made for interesting reading. Don't mind the wordiness though - i was just out of college.

Hello junta!

A googol thanks for your best wishes.

Reached here on Sunday at 4.30 p.m. local time i.e. 2 am (Monday) IST. The route was Delhi-Amsterdam-Detroit-Philadelphia.

The highlights:

Surprised (pleasantly) by the smooth going at the New Delhi airport.

A breath-taking birds-eye view of the Amsterdam football ground under lights(or was it the Rotterdam).

Mesmerised by Dutch beauty at Amsterdam airport.

And then blown to smithereens by Dutch hostesses.

Stunned by the casualness of Detroit.

And finally soothed by the serenity of Philadelphia.

Overall, a long, grueling but educating journey that inspired a plethora of emotions.

I am put up at:

325-C, South Morris Avenue,

CrumLynne, Philadelphia,

Pennslyvania - 19022

Phone: 610-833-2830
