Travel

Let's a go to the edge of the world and never return.

California '19

First time in the States. Visiting my brother who used to stay at Sunnyvale. Immediate impression was that everything is so big! From the shampoo bottle to fruits to paper rolls, everything is at least twice the size one would find in India. The thing that sticks to me from the US is how much everyone immerses themselves in their beautiful surroundings. You can find tons of Californians heading to Muir Woods or Yosemite or Lake Tahoe with their camping gear on the weekends. Also the services are so professional. I trailed my brother when he had to get his tennis racquet fixed and the guy at the store told us all that's there out there about racquet nets! Starting from tensions to weight balances, literally everything. The skies are just so clear on the Californian Coast, you could almost swim in them. And before I forget, treks! If you ever go to Cal, try the Pedro Point hike. You can see Khal Drogo's rocks and Golden Gate and the SF coast. Nothing like driving in a open convertible on California One at 100+ mph listening to Chris Brown!

Switzerland '19

Always been advising this-go take the bird's eye view of a place. True appreciation of a place always rests with the birds. You can tell that you're in Swiss-land when you see watches everywhere. It was my dream from when I came to know about Swiss watches, to walk into a boutique and buy an automatic. Finally grabbed my Swatch time-piece atop Mount Titlis! I got to try snowboard, sledge and ice-tubing at Junfraujoch. Couldn't try skiing cause I was short on time. Love the Swiss public transport system. Just one pass suffices to take any train, bus, tram and even river-cruises! The beauty of the place is you feel like getting down at every stop and take in the breathtaking view from there. Can easily spend up to a week in Switzerland.

Germany '19

Attended the CMMRS 2019 at Max Planck Institute of Software Systems at SaarbrĂĽcken, Germany. It was a very enthralling experience, meeting some of most talented young researchers in Computer Science from
