Back from the Longggg weekend..

Its time to get back to the desk .. after 3 days ofnot working, its sorta hard to get back to work.. But somehow we all have to get back to do the "normal" every day thing..how easy it is to go on a brief vacation during the weekends (especially, the yummy longgg weeekends)..and why is it such a drag to return to work when its all over? Is it one of the middle-class blues that haunts every office worker in the world right now?

Anyway, enough of my whining..Lets see what happened during the past weekend..The July 4th weekend.. a weekend that celebrates American independence..a true Independence of sorts from everyday office work..People celebrate life and its wonderful choices by indulging in those outdoor BBQs, inviting friends over to share some food and time - chatting about all the godly/ungodly things under the sky, holding beers and swatting the flies that buzz around you in the back yard, children screaming and yelling as they play around, the boats that hit the waterways in the local areas, etc..And did I tell you that I came across a wonderful T-shirt (of course worn by a lovely lass) that said -- Beauty is in the eyes of BeerHolder -- on my way to witness the fireworks at the Mall in Washington, DC..

Washington, DC -- the city in deed lives up to its billing as the City of Government and celebrates the day with its spectacular, one of a kind fireworks..Well known for its dazzling display of firewworks, the event brings out the washingtonians in droves every year.. Blocks and blocks of the city filled with innumerable people as the afternoon crawls into the evening and then to the night..the crowds swell and gather around the mall and as the night falls.. Bang!!!.. starts the first explosion in the sky unveiling a flurry of colors and glittering sparkles that announces the start of the extravaganza..the next 20 minutes are worth waiting for another 365 days to see this again..And don't forget to thank the "Almighty" for creating the humans with a pair of eyes to witness this grandiose..Wow..Pictures don't cut it..Words don't capture this visual treat..It has to be experienced, simple!

And did I tell you the weekend includes a visit to NYC..Yep! It is a one-day trip to NYC and some of its hot spots - Battery Park, WTC Memorial, Time Square, etc..The city never ceases to amaze me.. Its lively, in every walk and move of the city and at every corner and street of the city its filled with life.. this city never sleeps..At 10:00 PM in the night, the city's ubway resembles/rivals those of teh busy commute hours in anyother city.. that too on a Longggg weekend! The NYC subways are a museum of sorts.. Its specimens on display are those variety of people who ride them..Men, women, children, young, old, etc..Wow..Not to mention, the per capita clothing on women you see in NYC is, on an average, is lesser than on any other women in teh continental US..Geez..Yet another due mention of "Thanks to Almighty" for putting me in NYC and for cladding those women in such attires..
