I am back to blogs after quite a gap, last some weeks have been busy. Well its the month of July and I am back to the "synthetic" or "mechanized" United States of America again..its for the 4th consecutive year that I am not feeling the pinch of the monsoons in India, the pleasant earth smell when the mother earth is drenced with rain water.
Well this time, it is not mid-west US, I am in the capital city of the State of Utah. Salt Lake City is a beautiful city, surrounded by the canyons..being close to nature has always been my love, the scenic beauties around keeps me glued. However it seems to be a laid back city, there seems to be no sense urgency in the people...the people of this state follow a different religion "Mormonism" , a religion which is said to have an uneasy calm with the traditional Christians (Roman Cathloics & Protestants) because of its departure from the central tenets and doctrines of traditional, historical Christianity.
I am said to be here for a period of 6 - 7 weeks, not very happy about it, US has never been exciting neither interesting to me, all the cities seem to be the same to me, the same retail chains, the same busy people who do smile and say a "big hello" without actually meaning it, nothing seems to be from the heart here, esp. being an Indian, I do miss the genuineness of a simple "NAMASTE" on the road side, but yeah we too are loosing it, becoming more artificial and too involved in our world! The focus is soon changing all over the world from "OUR WORLD" to "MY WORLD".
I donot expect much momentum in the work front..have to somehow get these days over and hit back home, if possible within two weeks!?!?
