******************************************
Up around 5am. with intermittent waking up thinking about the documentation needed for the drivers licence.
Got to see if I can get a licence with out giving up my Canadian Licence.
took the 7:30 shuttle to work.
Stopped by the canteen and brought a Carrot Muffin and my first coffee at work in the morning. That is a record for coffee. Eyes are burning for lack of proper sleep.
Good to see Eva safely back from her trip (atleast from her FB status). God only knows what kind of hard ships she had to endure. Hopefully nothing very bad that would change her outlook on life for ever has happened. Atleast at first look seems like she has matured a bit more in terms of appreciating her friends.
So to me that means that she is slowly learning to the value of team.
So far a cry from the Eva, i got to know during the trip to US in Sep. That was a Eva, who in the frist 24hrs made it clear that she does not care if I was suffering from sever cough, heaviness of breathing, high fever, head aech, had the responsibility of driving us safely around and trying to stay awake or what ever and was just focused on going for hike down the hill.
Did not even bother to tell me that she rather prefers to go down and eat. She just threw the food down to me and walked away. When in fact I decided to have the food to give her company. I was not even feeling hungry as I was having a running fever and had no appetite or taste to eat anything. Just because she suggested that we eat, I agreed and wanted to sit in the shade than the sun where she wanted to sit...... ahhh so many torturing memories.
If I had sat in the sun, it would have only aggravated my fever.
And after returning again she just went away to enjoy her next hike. So sweet and caring.
No wonder the lady at Grand Canyon commented to me scarcasticly with a sympathizing look. "she sure is very attentive".
And if I remember rightly, she was with a group of about 5 people who was continously looking at us. At first I thought that they were looking at us because of the odd color couple. But they were easily reading her body language and that of mine.
Atleast I got to know the extend to which I was willing to sacrifice for the other.
And she did not even have a clue. Even thou she claimed repeatedly before the trip, that she does not care about hiking and was more interested in spending time with me...... And at the first instance ,,, she just showed to me her pattern of behaving.
What people say and what they really do when faced with the reality. It was not anything extreme, just the basic day to day normal living.
Well Atleast she is safely back from Delhi and Agra. Only wish i was there to protect her.
sometimes I think that Eva is naieve and who she is because she did not get to experience the things I got to. She lived a very protective life in that little village she calls town.
Well everyone has their own way and life of growing.
Not sure how I would have handle the situation if I am thrown into the trip again.
Was supposed to go to DMV around the afternoon, ended up not going as Bashu had a meeting at 1pm. So might go around 2pm.
Got to know that Suvendu was heading off to India. Nice guy, very sincere and commited to his work and his daily way of living. Except that he is hooked on to smoking. And got to know that he is diabetic. poor guy.
Bashu comes around 2pm and we head out to Norristown. DMV. It was kind of crowded. Asked at the counter for beginners if I could exchange canadian Drivers licence. and was told that I could and get a PA license in exchange.
So went thru the process of waiting and when my number came up went with my documents to the counter. Where the guy looked and talked like he wanted to beat up anyone who talks.
Gave him my visa docs and he did a search and said that my information is not coming up on the INS . So he took a copy of the passport and the other documents and said that I will get a letter with in 3 weeks with information to come to DMV.
Ahhh after all the waiting. Bashu gets his temp card from DMV. Atleast one person got it.
Latter back at work got to know that many people ended up having the same issue as me. Just concerned about the difference in name on the SSN.
