Bostonians

So once you land in any foreign country the most difficult part is to find accomodation. So this is what happened a couple of years ago.

As soon as the excitement of onsite died down I was faced with a daunting task of managing my accomodation and it was a litmus test. Getting the right house mates is quite important as they are the ones who will be your family out here and as far as my case goes, this is what happened:

1. I Got Lucky

2. I Got really Lucky

Yes sounds odd..aint it ?

There were four of us looking out for a house at the same time and thankfully landed up taking a house together. Once we selected our respective rooms and got the things we need, we were ready to ROCK ON!!!

It's sometimes so difficult for even people who know each other for ages to click..but we...we just clicked..the bonding was perfect and we took off from day one..no hassles..no problems..it was one hell of a time...We were called Bostonians and our house is known for its hospitality and delicious dishes :-) except me all three were expert chefs...

So here go the Bostonians:

1. Pooja

2. Sowmya

3. Rakesh

4. Me

Then came Suresh after Rakesh had to move to a different place...

Half a year later, Suresh and Sowmya had to move back to India so Lohith and Sangeetha joined in...

I shall write about them in detail but as of now...here is a brief summary...

Pooja is that rare breed of people you come across..very soft and well mannered..not the kind who speaks ill about others, etc etc all the good qualities you see. At the beginning I did not know her at all, but the past couple of years we have grown up to be trusted friends...And ya her favourite food is yogurt :-) and she claims that she can make around 10 dishes in it...

Rakesh..He was like a big brother to all of us. Amazing cook, I am yet to taste such north Indian dishes again..The kachoris..cutlets...my mouth waters even now...Again was lucky to befriend him...

Suresh..I have probably never come across a more hardworking and dedicated person and probably the only guy who actually went to the gym regularly..An amazing cook and I am happy to see him grow the way he has...Absolute pleasure to be with..

Lohith..I knew him before he came to our house and have known him to be a great sport...sports and dancing are his passion and is pretty good at it...great guy to be at home..full entertainment and no hassles...

Sangeetha..I have seen her career grow right in front of me..an amazingly talented individual who knows how to handle things professionally and more so personally too ;-) Again an awesome cook and shes good at chess...and mighty good at it..I still remember she beat me in 9 to 10 steps the first time we played and I am still recovering...

Sowmya...My very dear fren..who shall be etched in memory for a long long time...She was my constant company when I first came and we just bonded...yes there were small fights...silly arguments..but most of the it ..for the fun of it all..has been an influence in me kind of "letting go" of things ...I think itz best to say..I was lucky again
