Sweet Weekend Memories

May 5, 2003 

The Boston image is still fresh in my mind. Commonly known as the “Walking city”, it did test our walking ability. It had its share of highs and lows and excitement and disappointment!

Here are a few snapshots:

Fun moments:
Location : South station

A 20-something gal clad in a white t-shirt had these words “Today is my bday. Give me a hug.” clipped to the back of her shoulder

Tiring moments: The 2 mile walk along the “Freedom Trail” . Covering over 9 historic moments over a span of 3 hours, we were amazed at how much hype is cretaed about so little. Felt like a fool paying $10 to go inside the Old south Meeting house. This is where the Boston tea Party began. All that one can see inside is a couple of benches with torn covers and the history of what happenned when. We wondered at what a rich culture India has and what little is being done to preserve them.

Wild moments: Red Sox fans disembarking at Yawkey Way all geared up to cheer for the Saturday match.

Serene moment:

Location: Harvard Square

Vivek enjoying the street performers play some overwhleming numbers.

Speechless. I sat in silence gazing at him. We knew what we were thinking as memories of the past flashed back. His promise fulfilled of getting me to this place one day! 1 line- “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” and 2 characters (Ollie and Jen) changed our lives 3 years back.

Silent places:

Location: MASSACHVSETTS INSTITVTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Intelligent look. Deserted. Kids skateblading or rollerskating all over. Beautiful trees lining the streets. Nice view of the Charles river along the Memorial drive. Breathtaking medieval architecture with buildings christened “Aristotle”, “Darwin”, “Newton”. Boston and Cambridge - stark opposites.

The “T” moment:

Transportation made easy in Boston with the “T - the subway. I’m a big fan of the “T” now bccos of its frequency.

My favourite : RED line because it goes to the Harvard Square and MIT.

Day’s worrk : Second round of Design review
