FIRST's in USA

This is my 2nd trip to USA. The first one being 2 yrs back for the Convocation Ceremony of my elder bro Vineet. I had seen,done & experienced many new things on my first trip to USA. The lifestyle, roadways, travel, subways, food, the greenery, the cleanliness, MALL Culture- all of this had surpised & excited me the first time. This year being my 2nd trip, I thought I wouldn't have much to explore. But I was wrong, I have experienced "FIRST in my LIFETIME" moments this time too, all thanks to my lovely brothers n sister in law.
1. Cirque du Soleil:an entertainment company. Each show is a synthesis of circus styles from around the world, with its own central theme and storyline. They draw the audience into the performance through continuous live music, with performers rather than stagehands changing the props, and by having no curtains.
2. Falguni Pathak Dandiya Night: An amazing night of Garba & dandiya played by me after almost 10 yrs of not playing. I wouldnt say I am good at it, but i definately enjoyed my time.
3. US OPEN 2008 Finale: My admiration and constant praise for Roger Federer led my brother to buy the expensive tickets for the Finale of the US OPEN 2008. I enjoyed the game though it was not as exciting as the Wimbledon cup. The reason I enjoyed the game more was because my brother Vineet who was in favour of NADAL(initially)and later Andy Murray couldnt look me in the eye after his loss. I still enjoy a TOM & JERRY Camaraderie with Vineet.
4. Played LAWN TENNIS - My Eldest bro Satishannaya taught me Lawn Tennis. Though my bhabhi & me were playing it like Badminton, it was a new experience & I liked the game.
5.Broadway Experience- THE LION KING : The Best show in Broadway, The LION KING- & now I know the reason why...It's simply amazing, the costumes, the stage set up, the props, the music.......everything was magical.
6. FALL SEASON: Last time I came to USA for a month in MAY, so this is the first time I witnessed the FALL season. And I am already in Love with it........FALL IS THE BEST SEASON..........the climate is pleasant & the trees have such beautiful colors. It feels like Heaven :).
7. First time I celebrated my Birthday without my parents. Surprisingly I didnt miss them very much(Telephone's are such a boon). And also the credit goes to my brothers, who tried their best to make it one of my most memorable Bday's.
8. Halloween: Trick or Treat.......I saw cute kid's and children dressed up for the Halloween in the Mall. That night since we went out for dinner, I missed the kid's coming home for Treats [:(]. Also since we were in NY city, we saw many adult's dressed up for the halloween as well. The favourite costume of adults was Catwoman & Batman........As for children i loved the one's dressed as fairies & princess's
9. Being from Mumbai and not having travelled to the North of India during the Winter's, I have'nt yet seen snowfall. Yesterday my brother woke me up and showed me the first snowfall of the season. It was a mild snowfall, and since i had just got up from sleep and also have'nt seen one before, I felt as if they were small pieces of cotton being thrown from the terrace........I was confirming with my bro if that actually was snowfall for a couple of times :)........So now next on the list of to do thing's is to feel the snowfall as I have just got the visual experience of Snowfall.
