Pittsburgh Notes: (7):
Pittburgh, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh. Just when I think that I've seen all that's good in you-that's when I realise 'hey, but there's still more of you to experience!' Will I ever tire of you?! Perhaps never!
And was'nt I worrying just the other day that my son was not doing anything non-nerdy anymore?Well guess what? We went out for dinner to the home of very lovely people, The Rao's,who we had to meet as they were friends of very dear friends of ours from Chennai. At their home we chanced to meet some really interesting families & best of all, Prahlad actually got to playing their electric guitar after ever do long! (he never ever finds time to play his own!) He was his psychedelic best, though I understood little; only recognised Led Zeppelin & later Clapton's 'Stairway to Heaven'!! Was mighty pleased that everyone enjoyed his music. Rohit, Malini's younger son joined him and they sounded good together!
The next morning we went driving around the Schenley Park, a daily destination for university students; we drove past the Phipps Conservatory and walked down the pathways breathing in fresh air. The leaves on the trees here, were slowly turning into shades of breathtaking rust, orange and red. A truly exhilarating experience.
The following evening, on our coffee round, we went to the Carnegie Mellon Campus to see fall in full bloom , an experience which never ceases to amaze me! Some undergraduate students were playing Americal Football. It was an interesting game. A little like Rugby, yet perhaps even more aggressive! Okay, I admit this would not come anywhere near the actual experience of witnessing a real game at the Football stadium, but it was an experience nevertheless! Driving back a few days earlier we chanced to see some school girls playing a game of hockey in their school grounds, & we stopped by to get a feel of the fun & fervor. I do hope you enjoy the pictures I took with my not very specialised sony digital camera!

So long till next time...keep chill until then. Love & good cheer from Pittsburgh comin' your way! 10th Oct.'11
