Maiden Attempt at blogging

Perisu (myself) with mami have come to US to visit our daughter for the first time and would like to share the new experience on an unknown land.

இதோ அதோன்னு சொல்லேண்டே அஞ்சு வருஷம் கழிச்சு
ஒரு வழியா பெரிய பொண்ணு ஆத்துக்கு வந்தாச்சு.
18 மணி நேரம் flightla---too much--
next time chance ketachalam neraiya yosikanam-
namma oru AC volva bus seat much better than
flight seating. என்னோ தானோ சாப்பாடு.
nanga vandha flightla (jet airways) full madras kumbal. mama, mami (like us), thatha, patti,
pudhu kalyana jodis only. எங்கு நோக்கினாலும் தமிழ் மக்கள்தான். emotionless (robot like) flight stewards.
porathathiku toilet pakathula seat---கம கம் வாசனை.

US போற ஆசை இருந்தா இதை எல்லாம் சகிசிக்கணும்.  
Well, landed in newark airport, passhed (American slang started) through immigration (some fast questioning)..then no customs check-thank god vathall, vadam, podis, urugais, murkku thatai, tirupathi laddu,
kalyana vridha pakshnam cleared. All baggages safetly landed (unlike baggage missing a common phenomena to US visitors). On seeing our face, பொண்ணு  முகம் ஒரே பிரகாசம் - மாப்பிள்ளை also. (but for how long he will hold patience with mamanar and mamiyar---he has to---illa பொண்ணு கண்ங்கள்  கவி  பாடும்.

Day 1 (5th June) at US ended quitely at my daughters place - flat overlooking New York city
on the banks of Hudson river. Appears no strange a place coz of the presence of
too many indian residents around.

Day 2. (6th June) started adjusting to sleeping time. without a bit of exaggerations
one has to accept the cleanness and pollution less atmosphere seen around. அம்மா தளிகை--பொண்ணு, மாப்பிளை enjoyed the spicey food--its lengthy day time here from 5 a.m to 8.30 p.m.
Went around to couple of malls nearby, then took strolling in the banks of hudson.
A nice pathway with ample resting chairs and benches--pleasent weather--
sat and enjoyed milagu vadai, butter murugu, fresh juices etc carried from home.
took as many snaps as possible. after dinner retired for the day
