Journey to US

Expecting the Unexpected

Life is all about expecting the unexpected. This blog contains my "Unexpected" (Just Hype.. It contains happines, unforgettable and embrassing moments.. ) things happen in my life. Before I
start this journey to US. Let me tell you, How I got my visa.

I didnt go to say , how I applied my visa form and DD. Still I dont know it clearly :-). My Visa appointment around 9:30am. I reached Embassy at 7am and looking for place to stand in the queue. By the time police men come and asked me, What do you want, I said "H1B visa" (like "one" word dialogue in mani ratnam movie) and Immediately he replied , "Go Sir, You would get your visa for Sure". This was unexpected from police men and I didn't know "How many of you guys experienced". I took it as "Wish" from God.

Next, I was standing in queue, thinking about all those possible interview questions and I looked at the guy, who standing in front of me. He is having book, then I thought Oh Man "He is reading some books for H1B Interview and all, I didnt prepare anything like that".

"Curiosity" What is that book all about. First visible part of that front is like some kind of big long rope with some kind of spur or (kind of thread or leaves). Just moved right side and watched a small mountain hanging. Oh!! Finally I got chance to see the whole front pic that is Lord "Hanuman" Pic and that book all about "Hanuman Slogam". The firs one which i describe was, hanumans tail :-).

Get inside and embassy. Before that lot of person went to H1B visa stamping with same company profile and 90% of them got 221(G) query and got stamped at second time. But I have got my visa at first time

God act through some Person and God wont come directly.

"Kadavaul Manusha Rubena" - I dont know this is from Bhagavat Kita or Some Sanskrit Proverb or Some Where. But this statement is true.

Next Shot is "Chennai Airport" May 1 2006 12:30 am , and My Lufthansa Fligh at 1:45am. I never had flight experience earlier . Airport itself new experience, which i didnt expected. Because When I was growing, I never thought of going abroad or I can say more "Patriotic" , because both of my "Grand Father's" are Freedom Figher and they served in INA(Indian National Army) under "Netaji Subash Chandra Bose" and I felt all my work everything for my country.

Thats whay I am saying "Life is all about expecting the unexpected". Unexpected happend (Journey to US) in my Life.

Boarding call, standing in queue and I saw a girl , Yeah She was neighbour of My Very Close Friend Raghu. Another Best friend "Anand". When we were in college usually we play cricket in Raghu's apartment and Play in Streets. Generally For Myself and Anand , We Knew that she was having different opinion/feeling like that we are "useless guys (oorupadatha pasanga :-) )

So, Anand and Myself decided, we should do "Laughing" Theraphy treatment. I mean "just laugh like anything" when ever she cross both of us in road. Raghu ,Myself and Anand roaming together and we do that "laughing" theraphy, raghu will escape and run or hide somewhere.. And he "kenjifying (requesting us)" me "Machi" Dont do this da.. Hardly we have done that laughing theraphy for 4 or 5 times.

Unexpectedly I saw the same girl in Boarding Queue, ... Hahaha " I was having very proud feel, that our friends are doing well in life and career".

Anand is working in US and he went one year before than me. And Raghu is working as Project Lead in IT Concern Chennai. Hopefully We are doing Good. Thanks to God.

"Laughing" Theraphy is silly happiness and I wanna say "Sorry" now to that girl. if you take me to my past, I would do the same laughing theraphy. We should live for that age and enjoi the moment of life and happiness .Later life will teaches you everything, thats why I asked "Sorry".

I remember what my friend "Pramod says", when we are afraid about our future and career. He ask us

"Are we betrayed any one in our life"
"Are we spoiled anybody's job and take job from them"

We are not, So we dont need to worry, We will have very good life.

And now I got in to flight and found my seat. After sat in my seat, Fighting with my seat belt (dont know how to fasten my seat belt).

The person who sat next to me asked "Are you travelling first time in Flight", I said "Yes" . I wonder "How he figured out that" and If you ask me "Now", I know "How" :-).

I reached Frankfurt International Airport, and I felt my stomach is urging me to go to Rest Room, Because I didnt miss any food in Flight. Even If I am sleeping, My Senese will wake me up", if food crosses me :-) .

Once Shocking for me in Restroom is "Toilet Paper" and there is No Water. What to do "No Other Go"

After Out from Shocking Place, I feel so comfortable and now wonder, how to move from one terminal to another terminal. Like Kambam and Madura Express in TamilNadu. I can see "small trains" :-) inside Airport itself.

When I am thinking about terminal, the same person who sat next to me come there and said "I am going to catch Boston flight, Do you want to join with me". I went with him.

He definetly knows that I am facing my first struggle time in my Travel. He didn't say that "can I help you to take to another terminal". "May be we would have said no or I have some other plans". He asked differently and I just went with him and reached another terminal.

In that big airport, Definetly , we wouldn't have got chance to met again.

But Unexpectedly he met again and offered that help. Yes Life is all about expecting the unexpected.

Boarding From Frankfurt to Logan International Airport (Boston, US) in Lufthansa.

Before Reaching to US, Need to fill I-94 form while travelling and u need to mention u r address in US. In My address, I didn't know which one is state and city.

I thought Air Hostess flying everyday from Frankfurt to US, So let me ask any one of them". I asked almost everybody, they said "I dont know".

As expected, What I wrote in my form is totally not correct :-) .

Landed in Boston Logan International Airport at May 1 2006 12:30pm



Next is Immigration Process and I am standing in immigration queue. One of the fellow in queue talking to his brother about his arrival that he reached Boston Airport and his brother come and pick from airport and take him to Natick City" .

Oh.. now I come to know, "Natick is the City" , I wrote it like "Boston" . Any way I have lot of experience in getting additional paper in exam hall at last minute". I have some additonal paper , sorry additional I-94 form there and changed it now it is perfect I-94 form.

Standing in front of Immigration officer with full of tension. I am revising all the possible question, he would possible to ask (I preprared document, with all possible questions).

Expecting the Unexpected (Officer, didn't ask anything and he said "Good Luck").

Yeah, I just came out of the Airport and Feel the breeze and new Fresh Air.

Yes My Journey in US Starts at May 1, 2006 12:30pm.. Journey Begins...
