I'm my driver

After four months of life in carrollton, GA, I finally fell for a car. I used to rent vehicles and used to look for one, couple of week-ends. On Jan 5th visited a dealer Honda Carland in Roswell, GA. It was 70+ miles away from my place. I heard their name from my cousin Joshi and visited their web inventory and found so many good vehicles of my expectation. So visited them, found a good car. Negotiated and bought the car on the same day. All I did alone. Its a good experience.

Its a Honda Accord Ex-L 2004 model. One feature I make use so much is the 6 disc changer Music System. I loaded 6 CDs of my favorites and listening to them whatever I like while driving without manual loads / unloads. Till now I haven't taken any photo of the car. Here are some pictures of the car from the dealer's web inventory.

The car doesn't completely wipe off my bad 07-08 transition. I just became my driver.

07 - 08 transition

One thing i wish never happen again is the transition of 2007 to 2008. Whenever I took leave from my friends / relatives, I never felt like leaving them forever. Reason - I used to think I can anytime contact them by mail or phone. So I usually keep lot of things with me, thinking of sharing them in future.

But life is not simply that I can guess, expect or believe. I was proved wrong, when my uncle passed away in Dec 07. I knew him from my child hood, from the day he came as a bridegroom to see my aunt. He was a kind man. I loved him and respected him. He used to talk to me & advise me on several things. But most of the time, when I wished to share something with him, I kept that for later time. Now he is no more.

On the day he passed away, I heard 2 bad news one by one. One is about my uncle and the other about a friend of mine who faced some critical problems in life.

Apart from these the difficulties I faced in getting the driver's license in US, the two weeks fight with my cold, fever & cough and a speeding ticket every thing made sure that I had a worse transition I ever faced in my life before. One good thing is that all these bitter experiences teach me the new bounds of humbleness.
