Preview to A New Life!

I'm two days old in this quasi new life I've adopted! The weather is a bit nippy but it is a relief from the scorching dry heat of Hyderabad. Virginia has lull that surrounds her , quite comparable to the one back home but her abundance is overwhelming really. Vast expanses of oaks and pines skirt the sides of the eight lane highways, the cupcakes here give watermelons a complex and even the sun greets me everymorning with a fullness about her. The sunshine right now though is rather misleading, it tempts the non resident to take on the great outdoors but hits you with cold burst of reality! Wear a jacket just to be on the safe side.

This postcard perfect neighbourhood is eerily peaceful, eerie not because of gothic like architecture or shadow coated streets but because it seems as though all familiar ambient sounds have been stripped. No beeping horns, no obscene gargling from the neighbour's house, no phones ringing...just the sound of birds that look as sweet as their song! These are things that rejuvenation is made of!
