Ride like you own it..!
Hello guys, recently had a great trip to India, met my family and friends after 3+ years.
At the time of house warming ceremony, my dad and mom holding god's pictures, entering the new house for the first time, officially
It was 4.00 am, and it was freaking hot already, everyone is sweating.
Along with my dad and mom, whose heart is filled with sadness on the day I'm coming back to the states.
I missed my bike, right from after 4 days into my vacation. I've seen the second summer for 2015, that was darn hot in India.
For 3 weeks before my trip started, it was raining heavily in Charlotte and personally prayed god, not to have any rain while the 3 weeks I stay in India, as the roads will get dirty and if I go on my bike, everything will be messed up with dirt, and God took it too literally and I saw, the next minute, I boarded my return flight, it rained for heard it rained for a good 2 weeks straight.
I didn't join a gym for the 3 weeks I was there, but, I have go to beach road every morning (when I got a chance), for a jog.
There are lots of people who come from jogging on that coastal road and the city traffic police closed the road of any wheels (except emergency and police vehicles) for the sake of jogger's safety.
Free Vitamin D every day, topped off with a pleasant jog, looking at the sunrise over the horizon.

I get the fresh coconut water quenching my thirst and getting some good nutrients in the morning. The vendor usually gives us the fresh coconut from the inside.
I see a dad teaching his kid on how to walk his first steps and making sure he won't get hurt.

On an auspicious festival day, there are literally 1000s of people at the electronic stores to get new appliances for their homes.

This is 30% of what I saw before I went into the store.
I've visited all the restaurants in my home town and enjoyed a lot. Too bad, I'm not one of those Instagrammers, so, not much pictures of the food. I didn't want to look bad, who takes his phones all the time at the food table..!
I've enjoyed most of the delicacies and beverages I could enjoy, which includes my two most favorite:
https://creativeland.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/fizz1.jpg now I can drink similar in Starbucks, by paying extra for fizz in my green tea (I was happy to see that once I came back to the USA).

Much stronger version of Coca-Cola.
Got my Wisdom tooth pulled + Cleaning + 3 fillings costed me 33USD only (without the help of any kind of insurance). You do the math in USA with and without insurance.
Air France and Delta screwed my inbound and outbound journey without hurting me physically (thank god for that)..!
Delaying my luggage on my outbound to India, and delaying my flights everywhere.
I did take on-arrival transit visa for my 24-hour layover in Dubai while returning..!
Hotel stay was fine, 3-star Panorama Bur Dubai.
It was a nice experience to visit The Palm. Took the big bus tours and spent around 8 hours on the road. Now public WiFi connectivity everywhere like in USA, not even in Starbucks. If at all you get lucky and find one, it won't allow VoIP calls, restricting calls to friends and family abroad.
No toilets available everywhere like in the U.S.
The expenses are similar to that of USA for most of the items, some similar to Indian Prices.
