An evening in jersey city

I am in jersey city for almost two months now. when i came here it was bone freezing cold some days even -4*c. but now its April and summers are coming. so i and a friend decided to have a coffee in some coffee shop. i was in a yellow half shirt and lower while a golf cap on my head. sri, my friend, was in a thin jacket and jeans. when we went out of our house it was a really nice whether, around 6:30 o clock.the sun light i felt was never sweet before. out side there were Broad roads, beautiful and broad footpaths,nice curves, in india we hardly find these kind of roads where there is no much traffic, at both sides of road buildings were not big just 1 or 2 stories,trees were shallow, slanted winter sunlight.. so it was very open and plesent enviornment..I dont like very long roads so for me those roads were even more beautiful as after every 100 or 150 meter there was a small signal. few cars were going on and all shops were also looking quite beautiful, as asking u to stand infront of them, dunkin donuts, macD etc.the trees all around were not very big, and having only new leaves and flowers. the breeze was an odd mixture of cold and warmth.as u mix hot n cold water and immediately drink it then u can properly feel difference between layers of hot and cold water. in the same way when we were in shadow the breeze was cold and in sunshine it was very sweet. how it started i don't remember but we found ourself discussing the differences between here and India, how to implement those things in India and raise some money. some part of that discussion.
Sri-> don't wanna work anymore..i want to start something of my own.
I-> even i don't wanna continue this job for more then 4-5 years.
sri->dude, we need to strike the public need, like in Bangalore many hotels, gyms etc don't have good website and that's y they r lagging. we will provide them better.
I-> a nice idea but it needs a lot of effort before u start ur work. what about a dedicated chat engine..where u form a group. every day we will raise some discussions..we will arrange weekend trips.
sri-> cool..i always think that Bangalore don't have place to hang out.
I -> we can book a big party hall once in a month and enjoy out. and we can ask people to write their problems which we will look first and if appropriate release on a forum for everybody's suggestions.
sri-> i am planning to target Tamil literature as well..its merely available on net.
I-> must be under 18.
sri->..over 20...
I-> naah,,she is just pretending she is less then 18.
sri-> must be half Mexican and half Irish. or half Spanish and half Irish..something like that.
.

..
n so on our conversation continues, as i already described that What i was loving about the city is...its roads and footpaths..they are so proper n clean that every body would love to have a walk every evening. the another thing i like about this country is expression of dedicated love. they are committed and they feel it all the time. this is a huge topic so wont write about this as of now..
we were just crossing a pizza store where pizza center owner greeted us..he was the man around mid fifties, small brown hairs, clean shaved, fair , and a heavy voice came out.."hello my friend, how are you". it was good and effective.we greeted him back.. had a look at store, and decided one day we r gonna come back here.
the next point was a shop where we went in to get a Pepsi. it was a small restaurant. and i noticed the lady standing at the food counter, she was a medium height little fat fair lady in her mid 40s. with a very gentle smile she was greeting all and telling about recipes..the best part was when she was describing the dishes..explaining all and in last she described about Solomon fish curry..with a lot of taste as she cud feel the taste and any body would die to eat that dish. but when some body asked about the sea food.. she defended her sea food with a lots of her fondness that food as well, as this is the second best taste in the shop.
we were again out on the street...some trees were amazing,after winter they were growing just flowers. as it is their duty to grow flowers and out of laziness when they grew leave on them, they had to face the cold anger of winter.
we were in coffee shop and i ordered cappuccino..and let me tell u this cappuccino was testier then i ever had. we saw some interesting people in the shop. an old man who was looking like drinking the same coffee for ages. an about 15 year girl who was coming from some kind of sport practice , a desperate couple. and many more.
then we went to a liquor shop. it had a great collections of old wines, and which tempted sri so much that he bought one. the bottles were really tempting but all have alcohol inside and i was just thinking the quote..dont be disguised by outer beauty.
while coming back we went to sit in a park. which has baseball ground and a children match was going on. all kids were tensed and their coaches and mothers were holding bag and water bottles in their hands and cheering up. I thought who said in india we love our children more, may be we restrict more and every family who support their children those children are named as talent and are on finger counting in India.anyways another huge discussion so we will leave it. people were enjoying in the ground and we were continuously discussing our endless future career plannings. so many ideas were coming and going and we were desperately searching for an opening door and pathway. it was almost dark now and we were back in our home... any ways in all senses it was a good pleasant and healthy evening. goodbye
