nashville. hope something interesting there. meanwhile had an orange
chivda n chocs!

atlanta to nashville

as suspected missed my connection to st louis. now on abus to
nashville where i am to catch an evening connection to st louis.

other people in the same boat as well.

back to charlotte

bus finally started...
thought i was on my way to atlanta finally ... got on the bus n dozed
off... woke up back in charlotte. apparently something wrong with the
bus... driver decided to swap buses. so after a further delay at
charlotte i was away.

got to atlanta finally at 6 30... maybe missed my connection to st louis?

already late

my first greyhound trip n the bus is late... waiting round for the
atlanta bus to show up....

funny thing is there is no wrtten communication at any greyhound station.

Leaving towards Unreasonable

Am boarding a Greyhound tonight on a long journey to Denver, Colorado, where I shall join the team at Unreasonable Institute. Excited! 

Also, apparently, I am making history: I am the first fellow ever in UR's history to arrive by bus :P 

Also, in another first, this is my first initiation into Riding the Hound. 

I have been warned: But hey, I've been a regular long distance bus traveler in India -  can't get a better education than that! 

Can handle uncertainty - check

Can handle random schedule changes - check

Can keep an eye on luggage at all time - check

(not that I have much to keep an eye on!)

Can sit for hours in tight cramped spaces - check

Can rough it when needed - check

All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go. No jet plane, but a hound...

ANOTHER change of tone

Well, turns out there's not much funny about the IIM FPM! :P ...
Also, I am traveling about at present, so have decided to convert this
into a travel log of sorts.

Will be posting periodically from various places in the US (some
random, others not. All posts, however, will be random).
Most of the time, will be using my kindle to post. So brevity shall be
the soul of wit from here on...
:)

Change of Tone

I'm back.
I've decided to bring this blog back. Except that there is going to be a change in tone. From now on, it's going to be more "observational humour" - if not my own, then contributed by folks at IIM still in the program.
