My Firsts..

And Finally..I have also decided to enter the blog space..I thought it would be apt to post my first blog after having made my first visit outside India- to Toronto to pursue my career goals.

After waiting for almost 2 hours to collect our baggages at the Pearson international Airport, me along with my friends headed to the main city of Toronto in a car.While the car cruised at 140Kmph, my friend (who had already been in Toronto) started explaining me about the city areas. Thanks to Sid, we settled in the city very easily. So nice of him, he had arranged accommodations for us in his friend's place. We reached the place at 11PM in the night. The next day morning we had to go the College at 8:30AM for the Intro session!!

My first impression about the city is that it has High rise buildings everywhere..Everywhere you could see!! It is also very very clean and organised. Subways are the main life lines for commutation of this city..Unlike Indian trains, here, the trains here are neat and clean..and their freqency is very good..so good that u can travel a distance of 4-5kms in 5mins. Toronto is a "Multi-Cultural" city and you could find people from all round the world!! There are also lots of Indians..especially Tamils and Punjabis..While I am told that most Tamils are of Srilankan Origin, the Punjabis come from Amristar..Oops..I could feel that when I came in the flight from India..When I boarded the Delhi-Toronto flight that flies via Amristar at Delhi the flight was half filled..When the flight stopped at Amristar, the rest of the seats were also filled with the Punjabis..so much filled was that a Sardar began asking the Air Steward "Are..U r travelling in a Punjabi (???) flight..aur Punjabi nahin aathi tumhe??".

One of the friend joked that " Every year 3 Punjabis from each family travel from India to US/Canada and only 2 of them return back to India..the other one who will be illegally staying in US/ Canada..Harpreet singh will become Harry !!!"...

I don't know how true this statement is??
