BOSTON!!!

So,
Today I am going to write about Boston, the city that has become my second home. It is a place in which i have grown (only in 1 and a half years), a place where i learned so many valuable lessons of life and a place that will always stay in my heart.....
It is strange that when i was thinking about doing a Masters from the States about 2.5 years back, i didn`t even know that there was a city named Boston :S. And here i am after less than 3 years in Boston and am ready to return, leave boston :(.
I have made so many friends here, laughed and cried,felt powerful and helpless............

I was caught up in a snow storm last December. I was standing in the winter cold for three hours waiting for a bus, just to find out the bus wasn`t coming .....
I have taken the famous "freedom trail" on thanksgiving ....
I have stood infront of MIT and Harvard... i always feel the goosebumps when the voice in 1 number bus announces the MIT station (77 Massachusetts avenue, MIT)
I have taken cruises on Charles river ......... have seen it frozen
I have played in the snow and walked in the sun
I have spent a lot of time in the Boston public librar, the second biggest library i have been to in my life
I have shopped and shopped till i could go no more
I have discovered the best ice cream ever (ben and jerry`s strawberry cheese cake)
Every time i fly back to boston, i look for Prudential Centre and after finding it say to myself... this is where i live
It was not before this year that i came across this song which will always remind me of all my time spend in Boston
here`s the link
