Yes, me back. for what it is worth (nothing), me back at AA and at the current moment concentrating a protein sample. Boston was amazing.. T and J were the best hosts possible.. they are people who have been great friends from the Institute days, and it is wunnerful to be able to go meet them and see that the ole magic dosti is still there, and stronger still.
I spent some time with JD and DP in NY and NJ.. we stayed at this place called Union City just across the Hudson river(there was that strange business at the Hoboken Terminal of the NJ Path Line.. but no time spent on that).. amazing view of the NY skyline at night. We explored NY by day and got hilariously trashed at night. Ok, here is something that people should know.. there are plenty of small businesses in and around NYC where people accept plastic, but their credit card machines print all 16 digits of the card no. which they are not supposed to do. Never happens in AA, Chicago, etc.
We got to see the South Sea Port, took a long walk along the Brooklyn Bridge.. what was that movie now where Shahrukh Khan ran down the bridge.. thus giving it an immortal place in the mind of the Indian cinema-going public? Then we ended up at this kabab place in the Village.. very nice! I could get to love this city.
Finally, we rode the Chinatown bus to Boston, and then to Dover, New Hampshire. We met up with our friends who are the University of New Hampshire.. they drove us to Durham, their pretty little town. The place is wonderfully quiet... in fact, so much so that I would get cabin fever in a week or two. A fun night of music and adda followed.. and then it was back to Boston the next day. I caught HP&OOTP there. More later.
