Trip to Boston

This Weekend I managed to make a brisk visit to Boston with Bhanu and Nilanjan accompanying me from NJ, to meet Viral Bhuta. All four of us had worked together at NSDL Project (Mumbai).
Reaching there we parked our car at Viral’s place at his guidance and that resulted in a Ticket to our dear Daddu (Nilanjan) for Parking violation :-D
And then we started on our hunt for a parking space. Unluckily it was also the day of final match between the Yankees and the Red Sox and so there was too much traffic in the Boston downtown. The narrow streets of Boston were all jammed with cars parked on either side of the roads (because of the match) and I ended up in hitting my car’s side view mirror on the window of a Mustang. She (the owner of the car) came all furious shouting and abused Viral (why viral, When I was driving? that I don’t know :-D ), but viral did’nt mind that as she was damn good looking and he just looked at her all blank and dumb.
Well then I jumped out of the driver’s seat and Daddu took the control of the gears do drive us out of that jam packed street. He drove nicely but then we lost the way and managed to find a 24hr pay park at some distance from Viral’s house, but it was almost 9 p.m by that time. So we headed straight for the pub from there to dance to the music and find some good American babe :-D
We spent the night talking of our days in NSDL and recollecting those faded memories. We slept till noon the day, then we got up and headed back for NJ. Though we could not see much in Boston as we fell sort of time, it was a fun trip and it was really nice meeting those old chaps and being together for the weekend.
