<p>Thats because you live in Gurgaon. Sorry for being so blunt.</p>
<p>ok. I need to go sleep, or even BWGEN will not be able to make me working efficiently tomorrow. Good night!</p>
<p>Caffeine should be better. G'night.</p>
<p>my being in gurgaon is hardly pertinent</p>
<p>Let's talk about happier things :)</p>
<p>Oh good, can we get back to talk about things normal people can understand?
Like...did someone say caffine?!
I need coffee ahhh</p>
<p>Yeah, my thoughts too, zant....Ahhhh, the Internationals have taken over the thread!</p>
<p>jk, guys. It was actually sort of amusing to try to sift through that and make sense of it. I don't think I succeeded.</p>
<p>try going to an international school, it's even more confusing ;)</p>
<p>OK,now would it sound unbelievable that I had a premonition about 9/11 a day before it?</p>
<p>sounds more sketchy than unbelieveable</p>
<p>akash-explain?!?</p>
<p>Well I dreamt that OBL would strike at America the night of 8/11</p>
<p>That's beyond creepy
::shudder::</p>
<p>You mean 9/10 or 8/11 ? And if I remember correctly, it was around 9 o'clock in the night time in india when that happened... I saw it live on BBC (with the rest of the world).</p>
<p>There's a lot of conspiracy about that..wasn't there a book, on page 911 it predicted something? I don't remember...</p>
<p>What was it like to just watch it? I remember it was awful and scary but also kind of thrilling at the same time, to be living this historic moment.</p>
<p>ok,my mistake ,9/10.I really get confused with the differnt system of dates sometimes</p>
<p>My friend and classmate was in nyc when that happened... he'd never been out of india before. So one fine morning he gets ready to go to school and steps out to see smoke emanating from the twin towers (he lives in queens).</p>
<p>That night I had a fever and my sister came running, "bhaiya, the twin towers are on fire!" (bhaiya = big bro). So everyone got glued to tv and we watched all night - even the BBC correspondent broke down when she reported the tower collapsing.</p>
<p>Few days later when I asked my friend, how things were there, and was it really as bad as they showed on TV; he said - "For the first two days, it was worse than what they were showing!"</p>
<p>I can imagine the horror.</p>
<p>I don't know if you can.
I was at school...it was the second day of school of freshman year at a new high school and I didn't know anybody. Someone came into my bio class and said "holy sh it! a plane hit a twin tower" and we all went downstairs to this assembly and watched them collapse on tv. And everyone was going crazy trying to call home, but the phones didn't work. And people were leaving and parents came to pick kids up. It was a big mess. My dad walked like 60 blocks to pick me up and we walked more to get home. A friend of mine's dad worked in the towers and after a couple of days, she gave up trying to find him.</p>
<p>My mom woke me up and told me. I felt bad because I was like, "Those are in New York, right?"</p>
<p>I had just stayed in the Millenium hotel a few months before 9/11, so it was stunning to see the diffrence when I went back last August for the first time. It just looked....so empty, for lack of a better word.</p>
<p>It's ok Legendofmax, I didn't know oregon existed.</p>
<p>I refused to go back to ground zero...they made it into some exhibit, like a novelty, a show, it was sick..they were selling sounveniors. I've never purposely gone back, but I've been near there a couple of times now....it's so cold and barren. The new tower, the freedom tower or whatever that they're building, is so impractical.</p>
