I moved here because it was where my boyfriend is going to college, and it is absolutely gorgeous.  It is pretty isolated from most otehr cities in the state, but has everything you really need to get by - a walmart, a selection of really amazing main street stores, and some great restaurants.  It is in one of the most gorgeous sections Colorado Rockies of the , giving me some really amazing opportunities for photography!

The colors of the leaves as they celebrate the completion of another successful summer and the feel of crispness in the changing climate is ideal. Fall is definitely a feast for all the senses. The smell of harvested crops, the sight of the brilliant hued leaves, and the soft chilled wind that signal a change of the season is all that fall has to offer. Crunchy fall varieties of apples and delicious vegetables such as squash are yummy treats of autumn. No other season can compete with this splendor.

Beginning Friday, armed with a suitcase and a full tank of gas, we ventured forth into the mountains. There we found banks of snow, indicating our arrival was well timed. The roads were dry but the lines of snow piled on either side gave the impression this was not the case just a day or two before. There was still ice encasing branches of trees alongside the main roadway, and the tops of hills were dusted with white like sugar. Good food, and excellent scenery provided the ideal getaway for a winter weekend.

Chennai which has a nick name “Singaara Chennai” is the city I live in. Being the capital of the state, the city bears the lots of shopping malls, restaurants, play stations, resorts and IT companies. The most noticeable part of the city is the T. Nagar, where almost everything could be bought at it least and most price from the shops roadside and malls. Also the delicious foods of the restaurants are plus to the place. Spencer plaza, Mayajal, Dizzy world, VGP, MGM is most admirable places. Country’s leading companies reside their branches along the OMR and nearby roads. It is a city where we can see from luxurious apartments, volkswagen cars of actors or politicians to beggars and roadside resides.

I'm not Hindu, but I love the holiday Divali. My neighbors leave small bowls of fragrant oil on all the pathways. Paper lamps in every color, with streamers blowing in the wind. The Festival of Light reminds me of my mother-in-law, who passed away just last year. She was a Quaker and she'd talk about "putting you in the light" and "looking for the light..." So I don't know if it's right, but whenever my neighbors celebrate Divali, I think I will remember Mima. Everything about it reminds me of her. Radiating wisdom. Family. Divali is the spirit of Mima. 

Today, I finally finished my internship. I never thought I'd end up finding an internship only 5 miles from home. There is a branch office right here. The company in the city didn't respond to my resumes, but this local branch just said, "Come on over for an interview." The funny thing is that after I finish my internship, I can move to a paid position in the office in the city. I've already gotten two offers to transfer there. They'll have to pay me now. They could have had me for free if they had just opened my letters.
