Almost 19th months living in US, from days where spending one dollar felt like a heart burn to days where I can spend $80 just on a whim to buy new shoes. Things have changed, and there is no denial to that, but apart from this new exterior, and possible skills I have learned from the courses taken so far, I do not think I have anything substantial I can attribute to this culture, I mean I still prefer home cooked food over sandwich/burrito/burger/pasta, I still hang out with the same friends I had before I left India, I mean the means of communications have of course changed.
I have become an addict of TV, well I was an addict of TV, but now choice of content has changed, now I enjoy shows like, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Late Show. etc. I have almost stopped reading, I still read/contribute to wikipedia regularly but its not the same.
I am going to get hold of my life again, no more aimless hours of surfing.
