Another first time experience that blew my mind.






Yup, it has been a long time since i have updated my blog. The harsh winter and the academic course load played a huge role i guess. I like to blog only when there are no strings attached.

Let me start of by putting the day into context. I slept at 1:00 AM and woke up at 4:00 AM. My traveling habit is such that i pack a great part of my luggage in the morning. Left home at 5:30 AM to North Station in Boston. I was going to my pal Arjun's graduation ceremony.

I boarded a greyhound bus bound to Syracuse, New york. This is the first time i am traveling to Syracuse. Also this is the first time i am traveling in a Greyhound bus. Moreover the weather was great. So i had all the reason to be excited about my trip.

I had more surprises awaiting. The bus driver announced that there is electric charging points and also wireless internet on the bus. I had not expected this. I was really surprised. Back when i was in India, doing my bachelor's degree, i was thinking about how it would be if somebody implemented such technologies. I come here a see that they are already in use. I would like to take my hats off to whoever made it practically possible.

Communication has come a long way since the invention of telegraph. I had never thought in my life that i will be able to take pictures, blog about my travel and let the whole world know about it while i am traveling.
