On his dazzling coat, was the glint of sunshine,
His hooves sturdy as iron, his head held high,
He flicked his mane full of hair oh so fine,
With looks that’ll kill and an attitude that’ll never die.

A ‘Great’ Invention.
Most of us are addicted to it. Most have a specific slot in our time-tables for it. We come back tired from school or work, but still religiously flip through it’s channels. However, has anyone stopped and thought, “Do we actually need it?”

The breeze.
The breeze is the only source of sound around me. The scent of the grass, the softness of the mud and the gentle playing of the breeze upon my face are the only things I sense other than the silent thuds of the busy hooves in front of me.
A Trip To Remember : Day 1.
Day 1 :
24th October, 2011.
Pune, India.
The excitement that is felt due to the prospect of flying to a new, large and a well heard about country is immense. And if we are flying into the United States Of America in a few hours, be ready to experience sudden bursts of hyper activity and a regular, wild urge to scream with joy.

Pune / Frankfurt / Houston.
Nice sleep in the bus. One hour before we reach the airport. Really humid. All of us are sweating but are still trying to make the most of the moment by sitting in a huddle in a corner of the bus and talking about life, about school, about Pune and about how would the US look like. Typical way of whiling away the time when we have nothing else to do.

Houston.
Got up at about 7 AM. Well I could only get up because I slept at about 7 the previous night. So that is one nice sleep. When I got up Alan had aldready gone and Abel was ready to go. ( Scara Uncle’ sons ). After having pancakes for breakfast, and saying goodbye to Linksy Aunty, we left the place. On the way, we went to Academy Sports Store to pick up some biking equipment for me to take back to India. Uncle left me at Walmart where all the other students were.

Houston.
We woke up at about 7 AM. Today, the itinerary looked really interesting. Quick breakfast at the hotel of various cereals, cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk, juices and some more items. Then we left the hotel pronto to go to the Challenger Learning Center to complete a mock mission.

Houston.
We woke up pretty early today. It was freezing cold outside, so we were served breakfast in one of the rooms. Cereals, juices, etc. Almost the same routine. We left early for the Space Center and reached there a little earlier than we expected. So we had a little bit of freetime. We bought some stuff from the shop that sold souvenirs of NASA. We also spent quite a lot of time in the gaming zone, playing a simulated game of aviation. The effects were amazing and objectives of the game were pretty hard.

Houston, Orlando.
Frantic packing in the morning. We were going to Orlando! The place is second only to heaven. All the stuff stuffed into the back and we are ready to go. We have two more things left to do in Houston. One was go for scuba diving with a few NASA divers and then make it in time for the Tram Tour of Johnson Space Center.

Orlando.
Got up really early in the morning. Changed quickly and went outside the hotel where the bus was already waiting for us. Till all the others came out, we had a quick game of football which did warm ourselves a bit in the chilly morning weather.
