Silicon Valley with my friend
On the eve of new year, i went to SFO. I went to meet my friend gunjan to San Jose. It is less around one hor drive from SFO to San Jose. Though SFO has sky rocket buildings, i was surprised to see the uncleanness of the city. It was just like Kolkata, dirty, crowded and lots of option for transportation. But it is a hub for IT companies. You tend to see large group of Asian people , most of them are from India and China. We went to see the Golden bridge, though i loved it but i do not think it is the biggest. I think the Howrah bridge of Kolkata is larger and more crowded. But the natural beauty surrounding it was enjoyable. We ate in a Indian resturant which food was worse. Went to a bar to enjoy the music and girls. But as on the eve of Christmas no babes were there. We returned disappointed. San Jose is a great city, home of network giant Cisco. Yahoo, Google, Macafe etc are few giants to have base there. More than 70% population of that city is Indian. You have great Indian restaurants. We went to fisherman's base in SFO. It was really great sight. We did some shopping and watched dance of a group of young people, which was great. We could not make it ti the tour of Alcatraz, which we are disappointed. I enjoyed the trip as i was with Gunjan, my college friend. We talked a lot about our old days of college. We troubled our married friend Subhaish, whom we call Manikchand, the master Debaditya etc. We recalled our tuition days. Discussed about our family and our selves but last not the least some girls. I had some great snaps thanks to the Cameraman quality of gunju. I came to know about Pawan, Gunjan's roommate. I enjoyed watching his activities. I still rember the slope driving he tried to take but failed. We had to call people to take our car to down the slope. Well literally that gave us a sharp jolt and well i think we are going to crash. But we came emerged from that position and boy we love life more than previously. On the whole the trip was good. I loved the infrastructure of Gunjan's room. That was a new building with all facility and add to that Gunajn's music instruments. But i missed the aloo paratha of Gunjan and famous sambar of Bidyasagar, gunjan's roommate. May be given a chance, i will try to go to San Jose. Only one thing is that SFO needs to be cleaned regularly like other cities. Well they have built that city on the barren land, which is a great task. It is full of up and downs. Just like the body of Arnold. Well i will remember that city for Gunjan and his friends. It was like back in India.
