yea, I got to go to pittsburgh !
I literally felt home during this trip...thanks to Bal, Val and my old memories.
The weekend started on Friday with the Pittsburgh Symphony performance. Joshua Bell just crossed us on the sidewalk and Bal told me - that's Joshua... I asked Bal skeptically - really? (You never know when Bal's pulling one on you). Later, we crossed Honneck too!
On Saturday, I went to the Carnegie Museum of Art and just roamed around the Oakland area and in CMU campus to catch up with friends and my cousin Sarang as I didn't want to disturb Bal and Val's routine. They made a great dinner for Sat night. Home food - at last !
On my way from OH to Pittsburgh, I saw this funny bumper sticker... check out the picture.
"MY KID AND MY MONEY
GO TO
CARNEGIE MELLON"
Finally, prior to getting out of Pittsburgh, I got to check out the Nationality Rooms at the Cathedral of Learning (I missed out on those while exploring Pittsburgh...one of those too close to be important things...). Finally, caught up with a friend over at Starbucks and flew back to work.
Pittsburgh reminds me of the days and the proverbial feeling - "The world is my oyster" . The weather was just right.... I could capture the fall season's beginning. I wish I could visit Pittsburgh once more this fall.
These days, my work takes me anywhere. Fortunately, this time it took me to Pittsburgh airport. However, the work was at Village of Tiltonsville, OH.
