Fun @ Vacation !! SFO - Day 2

Ya, it was the 2nd day of our tour full of travel and adventure and another day to enjoy discovering the mysteries that endured in this city !!! Ohh did I talk about mystery ???? Indeed !! Well, what's so very mysterious about SFO ?? Ladies and gentlemen, on our second day we happened to visit a place that got me all puzzled about the "Gravitational Field Theory" and all that "Laws of Physics" had to tell which the great Scientist "Sir Isaac Newton" had discovered once, when, it was believed that he saw the apple falling from a tree. He had proved that the Earth's gravitational force is the same at any part of the world. Now if I said that it could be proven wrong, then what would you answer me back ??? "Oooh Rubbish !! How could that be ever possible ???" Right ???


Well well well !! That's the mystery we happened to discover !! Since the first day was quite a day full of activities with bike ride uphills etc. on our second day we drove from our hotel, hitting a place called "The Mystery Spot" located a little away from Santa Cruz inside the woods of Redwood Forest (picture above). We were quite perplexed as the Laws of Gravity didn't seem to work here and I wanted to reason them out desperately !!

We had a guide who took us around the place to show for himself that every law of gravitational science would go hay-wire. During our tour, at one of the spots our guide asked us to stand opposite to each other before a small house that tilted quite unusually towards the steep of the mountain. There was something very unusual that happened within me physically when I stood there, which, I had never experienced before. I looked down and saw and found something which scientifically is not possible, yet happened !! I wasn't able to stand straight ??? The edge of my elbow had a weird tilt from my body towards the left !! I wondered how on earth could this be ever possible ?? There was an angular lilt of about 45-degrees !! (see the picture below) For a minute I tried to convince myself that it could be because we were heading uphill but my brain debated with me back and I stood wondering the possibility of this fact !! This was strange and it was just not that, at various places we could see the visible difference of heights which, to this day had not been unproven since 1940.
Many researchers had come to unsolve the mystery that lay behind this gravitational pull. Some said it was due to some Meteorite and some said due to the flow of carbon-di-oxide !! Whatever, the mystery still persists and no one is still able to resolve it !! ;-)

So until my head spun about all the mysteries of Santa Cruz we started heading back to San Francisco towards a very scenic drive along the coast of California called the "17-Mile Drive". We halted at few places near the rocky shores (picture below) and took few snaps to take back some nice memories.


The whole drive along that coast itself was called the 17-mile drive. There were quite a many view points where we could stop by and have different view of the majestic ocean which fell on the right hand side of our drive along the coast. One of such view points was the "Lone Cypress Tree" (picture below) where we halted and relaxed our muscles for some time.

Though there were quite a few more places to halt by we found the day falling and getting dark. Towards our way back to our hotel we diverted our route to Sunnyvale to have a grab of home food at the famous "Saravana Bhavan". Oooh ..... how can one forget the authentic taste of home food away from home and we definitely did not want to miss that. Now, we not only had our dinner but also started our 2nd day with a breakfast grab at the "Komalas" at Sunnyvale as well !! Aahh .... so THAT you call being a perfect "desi" even if you are at out of your "DESH" !! ;-)

Fun @ Vacation !! SFO - Day 1

Oooh So was I talking about the SFO trip the last time ??? Well ..... Yes, ask me about the trip and I would be spell bounded !!! The time at SFO just flew and before I could realize it was Sunday and we were heading back home !! The weather forecast said it would be pleasant at SFO for the three days and we were indeed greeted with a beautiful weather when we reached there. We had planned well in advance & there were huge print outs of places to visit, the map directions of places, decisions on scenic drives, the calculations on freeway I-5 or the 101, the activities available to freak out and etcetras and etcetras !!
So, we started from this place called the "Union Square" and had a wonderful tram journey (picture above) to a place called the "Fisherman's Wharf". After reaching "FW", we hired 4 bicycles and rode down the coast till about the famous "Golden Gate" and halted then and there, on our way, at many a place to take couple of pictures to take back home some souvenirs ;-)

Ooohh but, we were quite unfortunate to have not gotten the beautiful view of the famous "Golden Gate Bridge" (picture above) as the day was pretty foggy. Down the shore we visited few places and one of which was the "Pier 39" where we had our grab for our little stomach which starved quite so much after all the bicycle ride we had done !!!One of the things that really attracted me towards the city was its streets that went steep up-and-down (picture above) not allowing the driver to see what came ahead on the other side of the road whether you went up the street or when you drove down the steep !!! It was a real fun I must say ;-) Ooohh you must actually be there to experience a drive of a kind !! Talking about the streets of SFO, then I must absolutely mention here without forgetting that during our Tram Journey, we passed by and had a glance at the famous "Lombard Street", which otherwise is called the most "Crookedest Street" of the world !! So did we drive there ?? Oooh yes, definitely but on our third and the last day at SFO, way back home :-)

A New Day

Ooohh, I'm back again. Couldn't restrain myself from the curiosity to get back to my first blog and find how it looks !! Do I need to change some words ?? Or did I actually misspell in all the emotional exitement ?? Well, whatever you call but I guess ...... naaahhh .... forget it ....

Aaahh, yes it is !! It does is this feeling of missing something when it is all new & fresh and your brain's all wanting to see it again and again until your mind is completely occupied with that new thing !! Strange ain't it ?? May be a feeling of wanting to have a look at that new thing's creation and to reform it and perhaps to modularize it and make it look more organized ???? Hmmmm .....What so ever ......

So, this another new day had been just good for me. There's been talk in the air about Kanna and I and Don and Lorraine going to SFO and I am all hyped about it. Going to be another Long Weekend plan and it had always been fun being around Don and Lorraine. One of the very few very energetic, enthusiastic and adventurous couples I have come accross. It's going to be Thursday tomorrow and we should be leaving by 4:00 PM PST and we've plans about returing back by Sunday night 'cos all have work by Monday. So, this's gotto be another fun-filled weekend ooohh ..... after that "Yosemite's" 5 day trip !!!!

So till I come back again to look at this page of mine ........ All I say is ......

Love

Simplicity should be life !!

Dunno just what to write as this is my first write up in the world where all of you can read what wanders through my mind ......

I just think every time .... wonder how my mind is able to think just all the possible things of the world !!

I was more of a secretive person once, say, long long ago. But as the saying goes "Time and tide wait for no man" and it's that time that changed me to be what I am today. OR should I say it's the people around me that influenced this development in me ?? Well, may be yes !!

So, what do I write now ??

Lemme see ... Well, I donot have anything much to say right now or probably I may want to have that emotional space to express the feelings of me. But, aaahh yes, now I just wanted to lay my hands in writing in the most open public world and probably some other day, some more things will linger around my little head and I will jump down here to scribble that .....

Love
