I got used to it....

Its the nature or the servival that makes us get used to anything. There were times when I have fallen sick when the temprature was just as low as 15 degrees. There were times when I used to wear thick cloths just to keep myslef warm when the temperature was just 18 degrees. Never Ever in my life I imagined I will say I got used to -15 degrees!!!!

I landed in Syracuse Newyork on Jan 5th 2006 10:45pm. My journey from Bangalore to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Philadelphia and then Philadelphia to Syracuse was pretty warm. No doubt every Boeing that I took and all the airports were very well airconditioned. I knew its winter and Syracuse is gonna be cold but had no idea how cold or how its gonna feel. I collected my bags and went out of main entrance to meet my friend who was there to receive me. Thats when I realized what real cold means!!!!... It was -10 degrees that night and I was speachless!!!... yes a new experience, new feel. Next day morning I started my walk towards University dressed up like an Eskimo I was shocked to see the reality of winter. There were not even a single leaf on any of the trees... Entire place was covered with just the white stuff... I cribbed & cribbed a lot... Got really bored and psyched of looking at just only ONE colour for 3 months. But hey it was my choice to come here.

Seriously its my second winter here in Syracuse and the things are not much different. B I don't crib so much I used to do last year. I dont wear even as many layers I used to wear last year. I dont feel any major difference let it be 0 degree of -17 (yep that was last night). I act as if I am used to snow & such winters since I was born.... Whats all this... Hey I got used to it.
