June 6th, 2009 -- The Journey Begins... (Srin)

This journey started with me already half-baked from the Hockey North America (HNA) finals in Toronto (3rd place, not too shabby for a rag tag bunch of guys). It didn't quite hit me that I was headed to India until I stepped onto the plane headed for Bombay.... the attitude and intense aroma (curry and BO mixture) of the passengers (mostly Patels, I'm sure :) were purely Indian. If that didn't do it, the heat/humdity and utter chaos outside the Bombay (sorry I should call it Mumbai now) airport drives the point home quickly.

In the chaos, I somehow found Ramesh and Po and we headed back to Ramu's place on the IIT campus. He lives in a fairly small 1 bedroom with his younger bro Satyendra (aka Bhollu). The night ended well b/c I was able to get some of Ramesh's famous chole.

Let the adventure begin (chalo chaloooo!)
