After precisely 60 days, i return to blog. Think its my biggest sabbatical since i started to blog. Thanks to work and a little bit of touring, haven't had a chance to write. Wouldn't have had much to write though.
Its been raining here non stop since last friday, welcome in a largely rain-free and sweltered Texas. But its flip side - no sunshine, kinda leaves your day dull and lifeless. Its been close to a week now, it needs to stop,
so much so that someone would start dancing (and sing "Rain rain go away, come again another day")
to make it go away. Dancing to stop a rain, ironic ?
Visited Niagara falls over last weekend. Quite a sight. A couple of fun activities in and around Niagara falls made the trip eventful. Buffalo, NY (where niagara falls is) is a beautiful place in itself and had a pleasant weather over the weekend. The boat ride - called 'Maid of the mist', which takes you close to the Horse shoe falls to feel the mist and the force of the water blasted on your face is one of a kind. The walk on the wooden stairs of "Cave of the winds" into the Bridal veil falls is like getting drenched under our own Koutraalam falls but only this has 10 times more volume and height. We also went on a speed boat tour on the river niagara,
called Whirlpool Jet tour. It wasn't out of the world, but worth trying for the white fresh water splashing on you when the boat rides into rough waters. Since the Niagara river acts as an international border between the US and Canada, it was kinda weird driving along the banks of river niagara and couldn't help feel how close you were to entering canada (punishable offense though, when you dont have a canadian visa).
