INDIAN & PAKISTANI Friends in Houston (Part 1)
So, Ali Is from Lahore, Pakistan & my friend on the back seat, where are you from? I am Waseem, from Mumbai. Biking has Its own fun. We're set to explore today. We're going to see Houston. & there Is a bike trail which runs alongside of It. Oh, gosh! Mud has engulfed my Tyre. Hanging around here & there, we've reached the University. Houston University... This Is the neighborhood. I mean the colony where my host lives. I am all set to explore the day. It's 12 noon right now. It's almost noon. So, I am going out. My host Is at her house. It's her son's birthday & she Is leaving to meet him. Her son, Her son lives with his father. No... Not with his father. I don't know exactly where he lives, but right now he Is with his father. She has a daughter too. & sometimes, they see each other. In this country & also In many other places, people have different ways of living. Well, let's leave them alone. I am on my way to meet two Interesting people. Yesterday, I posted on Twitter that I am In Houston. They said, "Well, then let's meet." then I said, "Of course that would be great fun." Today, I started getting their messages and I am on my way to meet them. Another gentleman also sent me a message. I said, "Okay, let's meet tomorrow." I just know their names. One of them Is Ali. & the other one Is Waseem. They are coming to meet me, right here somewhere. Let's see what they have planned for me for the day. Let's see.
By the way, I'm going to take off my jacket. I couldn't guess quite well. I purposely chose the Southern part of USA. This comprises Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. These places are relatively warm. I couldn't make out that between December to February, It would be so hot. I have to take off my jacket and I prefer to wear just a T-shirt now. I mean, I'll feel better In a T-shirt. In Louisiana, the temperature dropped to -1 or -2 even. But here, the temperature Is 18 degrees or so. So, even In the chilling cold of Jan-Feb, In this part of Texas, In Houston, the weather Is like this. Whereas New-York, Washington DC, Chicago, etc. are just Ice cold during this period. I am reminded of a scene of the movie, 'Rang de Basanti' then In the said scene, Amir Khan & his friends were waiting somewhere. & the rest were waiting at some other place. I'm In the same situation right now. I was waiting there. & these two are waiting for me here. There they are! HI. How are you? -Fine. & you? -I'm good. & you?
I'm good too. -Your name? -Waseem. We didn’t get acquainted yet, I guess. As you wish. So, you're Ali, right? If he Is Waseem, then definitely you got to be Ali. I'm meeting them for the first time. I just knew their names, Ali & Waseem.& I have come to meet both of them. Thanks for coming. Thank you very much. -Thanks for meeting us. -That's fine. So, what's the plan for the day and can we first proceed for lunch from here? It's fine. Are you hungry? Not exactly. What's your plan though? First of all, I have to get rid of this. It's hot here. -The weather keeps fluctuating. -Yeah. Yeah. So, let me put this. Is this your car? -Yeah. -Okay. We are getting In the car. I have to tell you something special. I had to take off my jacket. Let me fasten the seat belt. Well, what's so special around this place? There's a Water wall, a very famous attraction here. Well, you were telling us to get Inside the car & not set & out. Well, there's something about this area. Okay. It's not safe. & so, If you are roaming around this area, It's not that safe. But Is It safe to be Inside the car? Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to be... You don't want to be seen by... Seriously! Is It? Let me tell you on record In this blog. Houston tops the list In entire USA as far as homicide Is concerned. It was so last year. It could be due to premise, but this place Is full of such things. It's so strange! Even my host warned me about such things. She also said, "If you're going there then don't wait too much & ensure to make a call before going...Ok". I said, "Okay". But I felt so strange. & now you are saying the same. It's really strange though. Like, we cannot park the car here & gossip outside. This Is what we usually do. We can do but It's not safe here. It all depends on the area. This area Is quite near downtown, but, It's not so safe. The crime rate Is quite high here. This Is a sensitive area. Well, that's one of the realities of this area. But then, these are area-specific. Not necessary that the whole of Houston Is under such grip. -Isn't It? -Yes. Exactly. Now, you are the pilot. We will gladly go as per your comm&. By the way, let me introduce them. I have already done this part. Ali Is from Lahore, Pakistan. & my friend on the back seat, where are you from? -I'm Waseem, from Mumbai. -He's from Mumbai. I have already disclosed how we met. & now I have introduced them too. -Our Introduction Is also done. -Yeah. A little bit, yeah, about how we met. You want to say that stuffs put on sale are available here? -Yes, bred stuffs -Bred. Okay. It's premise time & so. I must now put on this multi-purpose stuff. It's really very humid here. What If I lift this a little more up to cover my eyes. I have to pay for my shopping right now. But, just a little lift here, & I can get stuffs without paying a dime. I need only one thing. This We were at Wal-Mart & now just wearing about. Before that, we visited another place. Now, we are at Target. Just roaming about. What's this area called? -Galleria. It's on the right side. -Okay. This Is the famous Water wall. Oh! The one right In front? Wow! It's beautiful. It cannot be captured In this. I cannot zoom In much. But anyways, we are heading there. It's a wonderful sight, really. Some crazy stuff Is wearing around my mind. We have our Go Pro which Is waterproof. -I think It deserves a splash! -Don't test It. That's what I'm thinking. Whether or not to do It. Well, what's the date today? 24th, right? I can return this till the 31st. Is parking for a short time free of charge? Well, there's a mall here. -Should I park here? -Yeah. That will be fine. It's free of charge In the mall? There are so many buildings here and It's one of the largest malls In Houston....Click Here and Read More
