US diary : Part I,1st air travel,some amazing experiences and 1st day in office at SC

Left from India on 31st early morning.

A dream came true.

Since childhood whenever I used to see a plane, I used to dream that one day I'll travel by that and and 1st time I do that I'll go to US. After joining Nvidia , I knew opportunities are going to be endless and sooner or later I'll get a chance to go abroad. But in 6 months????? never thought about it. Working hard since I have joined and hardwork got paid off today.

Mumbai airport

Yeah so let me share some of my expriences with you guys.

Left from home at around 8 30 p.m on 30th and reached Chhtrapati Shivaji Bombay International Airport at around 12 30 a.m. Started all the usual formalities . It was all new to me.

After getting the boarding pass I headed towards the immigration check counter. and Guess whom I saw?????------ Kajol,,,,,,,, she was looking gorgeous, standing just 4 ft away from me. She was wearing a nice black top and blue denim. She was with some foreigner Taklu :D Don't know who he was. I wanted to get an autograph but my immigration check took some time and by then, She had already left. Bad luck.
But my bad luck continued when my fellowmates saw SRK at the airport and I missed it :( Wish I could meet him personally someday....I think both SRK and Kajol were leaving for some promotion of MNIK.
Anyways, Bombay airport is nice. One outstanding thing at the airport is iifa Buzz Cafe. Its juss too good, with stills from Sholay, Janjeer and many more + different achievements of bollywood listed out there ,its one hell of an attraction. It just has everything what a cafe should have and a typical bollywood ambience.

First flight took me till dubai. Dubai Airport is unending and lavish too. To get to the next flight we had to walk almost for 3 to 4 kms. It had some awesome cars on exhibition like BMW , BUGATI ,etc.

Then Boarded the next flight for SFO. Unending 16 hours of journey. But when flight was half an hour away from SFO I suddenly experienced an adrenaline and my fatigue disappered . You won't believe but SFO airport's runway is along the sea shore (Pacific ocean). Moreover EMIRATES have a front and down camera attached to each plane so that you can get pilot's view from your seat. It was just amazing. One more thing is when you are about to land and there is sudden decrease in plane's altitude, You experience immense pressure on your ears. I felt like a deaf for 15 mins.

One more important thing , You got to drive in US, no matter what.

If you are a true rider, you just can't resist US roads. They are simply amazing.

Today was my first day in office. Met all my colleagues, with whom I used to communicate only over phone. Work has already started.

Nvidia SC campus is hugeeeeeee.. You can't get its view in single sight.Now I'm back from the office. Looking forward to have great time as well as great work experience here . Only time will tell. Lets see.
