World is Small

Boxing Day, popular term applied to December 26 in England, Wales, parts of Canada, and in some other countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. Traditionally, on that day the gentry would give presents, generally of money, to servants, tradespeople, and others of humble life. These presents came to be known as Christmas boxes. Boxing Day is a legal bank holiday. I found some good explaination on Boxing Day on this link. Facts of Boxing Day

Lots of shopping and shopping to do during Christmas, lots of gifts exchanges that happens,and the shopping mall in front of my appt, was always full, from last 2 days till 11pm. Unbeliveable !! Today, although, everything closed by 5pm, and will re-open before 8 am for Boxing Day celebration !!!!! I too did a little bit of shopping and got tired today, didn't shopped around much, just went at 2pm and came back by 5pm until, the mall closed. After had a nice snacks of Bread and Omlette at my friends place. Came back home, and was just taking rest, that i got an offer to watch some movie in the hall. Nice, watched the movie " Fun with Dick and Jane". Nice comedy and fun filled movie, somewhere u may wish to compare it with our Hindi movie " Bunty Aur Bubli" but still this one got its own story, and theme. After that had a nice "Bisibelle Bath" at my friends house, with Banana milkshake to wind up my before Cristmas eve dinner :) Anyway day was good, but...

Just a little photos from my trip to Chicago, may be I will upload sometime later.. More will follow. I am just getting busier nowadays. Lots of work, and not much time to blog and write.. Still i will try to update as far as possible.

 

Nice view, from the balcony of my home, one morning when i got up and was ready for office. I can't resist taking a click. 

I finally am a proud owner of Inspiron 9300 , and happy to have it (I should now give it a name :) ). Lots of discoveries yet to be made on this new treasure, but still i loved it. Its the feeling of a laptop of my own now. My trip to Chicago was satisfactorily, except that i went in Dec Winters, when it was windy and cold, and also, that i just had a weekend to spend in Chicago and no more days to explore the place. I went to "Devon Street" near Loyalla, which was just a place out of the place in US. On both sides of roads, were Indian and Pakistani shops, with all those thick, and glass covered stickers on the shops, that may confuse one which one is actual gate. Then me and my brother had good Dosa and some snacks ( samosa, kutlet, chilli bhajji, alloo chup, bara) and it was good. But we end up spending more than expected. Stayed in the Downtown, just nearby the Art Institute and Museum. And walked a lot on the Michigan Ave, also known as " Magnificient Mile". Tr...

I guess, today is the day for me to remember. To add a new immemorable entry. First of all, morning snow is very nice to see. Temperature, hasn't dropped as much (-6degree Celcius), but the snow deposit is already about 5inches and theres going to be more today approx 25cm snow cap, i.e 10inches or so, by end of today. Hopefully i will get some photos and upload soon. Next important thing, thats gonna happen is my first visit to US. Esp to the "Wind City" Chicago in this cold Winter. I don't know, whats the kinda experience i will get, but i know, i will remember this trip. So rest all after my return from US, may be on Monday.

Hey, how will one feel, when one gets so much of work all of a sudden!! Although not out of the blue.. But still its difficult to prepare mentally with the load of the work coming ahead, without being alert about it, and that too with the final dates, which may be so near. Anyway I think i can still do it.. it will take just few hours to prepare oneself, for the work scheduled ahead.. Well i am very much awaiting my weekend in Chicago, US. :-)

I was very much eager to read the latest novel by "Dan Brown" the "Deception Point" and i was expecting to read something abt paris again and about some heritage and architecture.. But never expected the novel to be based on global warming and also to link to NASA and politics.. The novel was good, but just not as exciting as the earlier ones. May be i was expecting more. Before that i finished " State of fear" by Michael Chrichton. That was also on "Global Warming" and a serious novel. Liked the content of the book. Not sure, which book is going to be the next!!! No more global warming at least for a week or two.. A few reviews : review-deception-point State of Fear Review

The very next day when i landed up in Ottawa, it was snowing,and since there was a TV in my room, i was very much closely watching the weather news and weather report. I will generally get up early in the morning and watch the news channel.. getting up early coz of jetlag, i guess. Then it has snowed almost all the weeks, for a day or two. Second week, it snowed so heavy that all the snow was deposited (3-4 inches) for 3-4days. And again, it snowed today, since the morning, never stopping. I walked in the snow today, and enjoyedc my walk. It was dark alreaddy when i started from my house. It wasnt that cold.. just -3 degrees celcius.Me and a friend walked approx 1-1.5km. It was amazing. soft snow flakes, gt depositied on my cap and on my shoes and on my jacket. Sometimes it will come to my eyes, and it was gun. Specially the snow touching my face, the shadow of snow on the snow.. everything looked very amazing. Some people dont like, cols and snow at all.. But i really do like it. Beca...

I just wonder, how I went alone that day to that new restaurant to try out a new cuisine? I was staying in the motel, for the first week, after arriving to ottawa, and then there was a sunday, a vry cold and snowy sunday. My friends were staying a little far from where i stay and they were preoccupied, so i had to go alone for lunch that day. And mind it it was very cold day, coz of the snowfall before .. So i thought i will go to the Indian restaturant nearby the motel, but found it closed, and i didnt have any patience to go and have coffee and muffins, or bagels in TIM Horton's. So i enquired and came to know, of a Lebanese restaurant nearby, Shwarma Shack. I went there, a few families with children have also arrived. and i made myself a mess of everything. I got absent minded. I just took the plate without the tray. And i forgot to take the juice, that i intend to take, and the cashier lady had to tell me, where it was kept. Then while sitting, i dropped my fork and had to go a...

I was just messed up with something that i dont know, and just couldnt show up timely. Still I feel, its never late to write few lines. After the Flood-like situation in Bangalore, i went for a week vacation to my native place, Bhubaneswar, and got ill too. :-) Affect of not staying in my home from very long. Well, Diwali went good and happening, lots of shopping too. After coming back, just a short break of a week and 2days. My parents and sister arrived on MOnday and then i need to leave on Tuesday for Ottawa, Canada again. This time the trip/journey from Blr to Ottawa was a memorable one. First thing, i almost missed my flight from Blr to Mumbai. Reason, initially flight was delayed, and it was showing up some time, 9:45, and i have accepted that time. Did check-in and everything in time. But then since there was almost more than 2hrs left, me and my sister thought of going to Siva temple nearby to the airport. OK, we came out of the temple at correct time. Then, we thought ok, we ...

BANGALORE: Saturday night's rainfall of 121 mm was a strange leveller — the pavement dweller and the Ford commuter battled it out. Walls crashed on swish apartments and in low-lying areas, important arterial roads were inundated with four-feet water, citizens in as many as 40 areas stayed home, mopping the watery mess, simply because they could not possibly step out. The most important roads in the city have been blocked — Mysore Road, Hosur Road, Magadi Road. Hosur Road, a national highway connecting important cities, the lifeline from East coast to west coast, buzzing with techies, is in limbo. The 121 mm of rain has battered any signs of technology from the area. To start with, 7,500 phone lines with numbers starting 2573, have snapped. BSNL officials reckon it would take at least four days to restore order. As for Bommanahalli, Begur Road, Sarjapur Road, Whitefield were all flooded. There was one confirmed death: the body of Sohail, a five-year-old boy, was found in a dug-up tr...

Life, cant be just as silent as this blog and i believe that lots have happened since i last blogged. I just can't remember why and for what reason, i just stopped blogging, but i have always wanted to write something, but cudnt have that feeling of actually doing it. So i returned from Canada, and landed up in Bangalore on exact the same date after a month, when i started for canada. Canada trip was very good. No regrets so far, from there. Then again started my office going, that hectic Hosur Rd, traffic and the very very dull days, of difficult travel. Office has been quite ok, not much as work as otherwise this time. So enjoying at office too. On Dusshera, 13th Oct, i went to Mysore for the first time and the trip was good. Myself and 3 other friends. We went to Shivasamudram, which was a quite pleasing place with such a good waterfall. I never have imgained I had such a good waterfall near my place. I enjoyed being over that place. Then we went to Chamundi temple (saw the view...

CN tower, Toronto, by Car.. 

My last weekend, in Canada, consists of a trip to Montreal, which was not as successful, includes waking up late morning on Sunday, having nice khichdi for lunch and some shopping. Yep, Montreal was really a memorable one, one which i will never forget. It was something unusual. We had to make wise use of my last weekend. So we booked the car. After lots of discussion, we decided to go to Montreal, other plan wud have been the Algonquin Park, which was also 2 hrs drive, but exhaustive. Anyway we searched on the internet for the places to visit in Montreal. All was well set. Except for the driving routes, we although had the driving directions. And then it was raining on Saturday. Raining throught the day and we started early morning to Airport, picked up our car and all set thru. After that almost half of the day we were in the car, searching for the correct road, as all the roads were written in French.. Anyway we ended up having a nice home lunch and just roaming arnd in Montreal in ...

That weekend, was not as exciting as others. My collegues went to Office on Saturday, and so it was a bore long day at home, i got up late on Sat, had a nice tub bath and had a supple brunch. Went to Govind's house, since his wife too was alone, and then it was a bore day. Later in the evening after everyone came back, we decided to go to Dow's lake, in Carlington, in Ottawa. After reaching there, it was already dark, and we took the local train for the first time, in Canada. The lake looked very good, and we went for padding boat in 2 boats. And i peddled a lot, after so long. It was nice excercise after very long. We didnt have much time, so we went for just 40min of boating and came back. They made us wear, those life jackets which were too heavy to wear, but i wore for the sake of safety as i dont know swimming :-) Well we came back, couldnt have patience to cook, so went to an Indian restaurant and had a nice vegetable biriyani after long with paneer curry and mixed veg. O...

My second weekend in Canada, started from Friday evening approx 4:00pm, when we rented the car, went to recieve Govind's wife(who was coming from India alone) in Greyhound bus stop.. and got disappointed when Govind and wife didnt arrive in time. Came back to home without them , waited at home. And finally when they arrived at around 9:00pm, had a supple dinner, and went to sleep late. Got up early in morning, 4:30am, got ready for the travel. Of course, Govind's wife joined too.. and thanks to them. Didnt get diverted frm the main route, passed Torronto, went straight to Niagara, checked into the hotel, and then started again after some time for Marineland. Lunch was in Marineland only. There was good "Dolphin and Seal" show to steal ur heart. But i liked Seal show much. Then was the "Free Fall and the Roller Coaster rides" which I took with pleasure. And a lot roaming aroung the park etc. After that started back to Hotel, took some rest and again started ...

I have visited 1000 islands in Kingston, Ontario, Canada during my first weekend in Canada. We were a group of 8batchelors and 1 family. And the trip was nice. We started early in the morning from 15, Woodridge Cresent, taking out 2 cars, one drove by Lakshmi,( now plannning to get residence of Canada) and another by Pratik, our collegue. We reached near the island cruise at 10:30 taking 2 short breaks, got freshed up, took some photos, had a nice lunch in a Thai restaurant - rice and some vegetable curry .. And then started off with our 3 hour cruise. Start was very good, but later got bored after 1 hr and 30 min. Came down from the deck, listened to the musical show, which went very good.. Started back to home at around 7:30 .. Returned the car, got down in the downtown, and watched the Parliament night show. It was amazing, and it was so simple the technology and lots of information they have put on the slides. Really a good event. Canadian govt put these light and sound shows on th...

So Life, is more enjoyable now.. And an example of it is the Niagara Falls that I am going to visit tomorrow.. Canadian view. Well last week has been fun too.. Having lots of time after office and till the daylight, and helping me and my roommate are the shops that opens till 9:00pm. Enough time to go arnd places and visit the shops and tell others abt the best sale option :-) And no weekend is without fun. Last week on Saturday, took a ship cruise to the 1000 Islands from Kingston. A 3hrs cruise to bore us, but then there was nice orchestra on the ship that kept us engaged. First time by car in Canada, driven by a collegue who doesnt yet have a canadian driving license.. But it was fun.. driving at a speed of say 100-140km/h. And it wont even feel like 60km/hr. Nice highways with green fields both side.. Good management of the lane decipline and exit from highway system.. Well in a way I am liking the place.. Just waiting someone to ask me to stay here forever. The temperature present...

I feel great and wonderful to find out the contacts of old friends and talk to them and chat with them. Finally my tryst with making a group of Vidyapeethians of 1997 batch, Pilani is successful.. and I am happy that my friends also bring in more ppl to join. I really feel like passing by those corridors thru the school, enjoying the dayscholar tiffins and boarder's canteen snacks.. those rushing for water during small breaks between classes and get stuck in the queues.. and coming back late and get some or other punishments.. Then walking thru those jamun trees.. and trying very hard to bunk the classes which we want to do eagerly but that time, due to so many factors couldnt do.. Those going to hostles, even when dayscholars are not allowed and always try to hide from the hostel wardens.. Those bringing in maggie to the hostel and enjoying their home made food , pickels, biscuites etc. The days were of fun and frolic and fear.. those days when we were so happy for the no-test da...

So I have landed up in Canada finally after, such a hurrying time in getting tickets finalised and all those horrible hurrying moments.. I it was an excitement in itself.. I left Bangalore by 7:50 flight to Delhi.. But I got all my tickets confirmed by 4:30 the same day, and it was only at 5pm that i decided that i will go the same day.. and so i have to rush to my home, pack up my luggage and then rush to Koramangala office to take the tickets and then go to the airport.. I started from EC at arnd 5:10 and i was from then on wishing that i should not miss this flight else, i will have to go alone all the way to canda. And well I am not that unlucky too.. So i made it upto the flight in time.. And yes, thanks to my friend and my sister to help me out in the last min hurrying packing, thanks to the taxi driver to take me to the airport from the way of lesser traffic.. and thanks to that Minister who was travelling with the same plane to Delhi, coz of which the plane was delayed for som...

I am happy that my major assgined task is over.. And i m enjoying my sort of lax days.. Wow what a relief.. i did spend a night at office.. but was delighted when all the effort spent came out well.. Already lots of shopping is over.. still have something left and i know it will remain till the end. Next is going to be house cleaning and packing.. And ironing clothes.. This will eat my hell lot of time too.. and then lots of things to note down.. But at least i have now time to spend time for myself.. otherwise, it would be very difficult to do packing and things like that.. I am still waiting for my visa and passport to come.. and then i will be in another country in another continent and its going to be definately another world too..

Time is just running out of hands.. Some things are going so slow and some very very fast.. Today filed for my visa, hopefully i will be able to travel next weekend.. and work at office is getting more pressurised with the target date approaching very fast.. Just wish i could finish up things in time and wash off my hands ... In this busy schedule i thought better to take some time off, and enjoy another movie "DUS" . It wasn't after very long but still after a good time.. it was enjoyable and not just as bore.. lots of gun shots and what else..

Its bad that i have started working on the weekends too.. not very fond of working off-office hours.. But have to meet some target till next week Friday, hope that I finish off my work by this week only. Next weekend is a 3day vacation, coz of Independence day coming on Monday.. Well i finished my book Dan Brown Angels and Demons, and have started "five point someone" by Chetan Baghat.. I had heard a lot abt the book..Lets see whats inside..

Its sad to say, but i started working late again.. Again some important dates to be met and important target to achieve. Well i enjoy working late sometimes, but when it becomes kind of compelling and mandatory, its difficult to survive the pressure. But I know, i cannot leave the work.. Well during those late hours, my dinner as usual has been reduced to a Sandwitch and some juice.. hope i m not putting on much weight ;-)

Am back with my novels and with my other hobbies like sketching. At least I am starting doing it. Bought some good books from Shopper's Stop on Saturday and already finished novel by Sydney Sheldon and already went half through Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Dan Brown has made my interests come alive for reading, which i have forgotten already. Good and Nice activity. Then got some sketch books, so that i can start my sketching again and keep myself busy with something other than TV and other un-useful things. Inspired myself to study ahead and prepare for management entrance. But not sure, how steady and how determined i will be in long run.. But yes, good things is happening to me and i m happy abt it..

Just yesterday I realised that its already August, and i haven't blogged anything. So strange.. If i look back.. its difficult to make out what i was busy with, if at all i was busy. No more new movies, except for few on TV. Not much of chatting on yahoo.. Yes done a bit of shopping and cleaning on weekends.. and the weekdays has passed by like air.. with no exciting movement. Well anyway July is gone.. And in the new month, August, i am happy to say, found contacts of 2 more school friends, Gunjan Sharma and R. Lavanya.. I am so amazed, what more is in store for me this year.. So many friends and within so small time. "Good keep up the spirit." - I always say myself..

Watched a good movie yesterday - PARINEETA which i like very much. A good romantic moview from the good old days. Just after getting out of the cinema hall, my sister asked me to see it again.. It is a good movie indeed. I am very much happy today, coz i have my dream fulfilled today.. I have cut my hair short, shoulder length, steps... hope it suits me.. i liked it.. and hope ppl who see me with plaits will like it too... just wish no scoldings from anyone...

Sneaked out some time after office on Wednesday and went to watch the movie "SARKAR" by big B and his son. A good movie potraying todays world and ppl.. Shan't say much about the movie.. but its sometimes, too voilent and at times, good jokes included. All over the movie was good and catching. Well !! Well !!! Will not prefer to watch it again for the voilence in the movie..

My vacation was over on 2nd.. Quite a long leave from office, but very short for all the places and the people i visited. I was very very happy to meet all those ppl from my childhood again after a long gap of about 8yrs. All are the same, with the exception of me who has put on lots of weight. Met Shiva after long time who was a little late after arrival of my train at New Delhi Railway Station. We went to Pilani. Stayed overnight and then started for Jaipur for Jyoti's marriage early morning. Jyoti's marriage went on great.. Attended for the first time a marriage from START to END except "vidayi". So many rituals and functions which are enjoying albeit a lot exhausting .. Stayed in Jaipur more time then have scheduled. Did some shopping for Bandhani Saree and salwar and a few amazing combination of different colours of bangles. Really those shopkeeper match any kind of dress with surprising and good combination of bangles.For a decent look different pair, for a part...

I wish the novel byDan Brown should contain much more volumes, its really a novel, of its own kind. After so long, i couldn't resist finishing of a novel before even reading 50pages of it. Its good novel, and reminded me very much of my visit to the Louvre meuseum, Sacré Coeur , Eiffel Tower etc. It reminded me of everything that i have seen in Paris. Hope i will find more of such kind of good novels to get me engaged in some kinda reading. I completed it in very much lesser time than i thought i will complete.

Today has been a good day for me. Talked to one more friend, Arpita, after so long, and cannot believe that she hasn't changed a bit. Good that friends don't change much else, will be difficult to recognise them. Then today i had dinner at my friend's place, Leepsa, as her mother has come. Had nice "pithas" since today is a festival day for Oriya ppl, "Raja". Had a good and ample dinner. Then when i checked my mails.. got mail from a missed friend, Brahma, afterall not that difficult to find old friends.. Got contact of another school friend Pooja Dhand. Really i m liking internet more and more with each passing day.

After so long, i watched another comedy movie in PVR, bangalore. It was a nice movie, although i reached half an hour late after it started and missed a lot of fun, still i liked the movie. Not that bad. Good humor and love filling life of two ppl who ran away from their home to find their own way, and get involved in theft and making others "bewakoof". Well its good to see such movies at times, when nothing else can keep you engaged.

I at last was able to finish one novel. I used to read earlier, a single novel talking less than 4-8hrs. But nowadays, not even been able to start it and go with it. But finally, i finished " Prodigal Daughter" by Jeffery Archer. It was interesting and was binding till the end. It was really an interesting novel. To complete this novel itself took approx. a week for me with all the preoccupations and demand with the job. Now i m starting with "Da Vinci Code", the controversial novel by "Dan Brown" . Lets see how far can i go and how long will it take for me to finish this novel.

It was another day of traffic for whole Bangalore city. Reason: Rain at approx. 5:30-6:30pm. From Electronic city, whoever left after 6pm, they have to wait for 3hrs in the traffic. That was the highest waiting that i have experienced till now. People whose house, is just 25-30min away from Electronic city, it took 3hrs to reach home that day!!!!!!!

People who drive in Bangalore, what an ordeal it is for them. Same for me. I am not new to driving, I have been driving two wheeler earlier also in my city, and thus, I bought my new scooty pep, thinking, it won't be difficult to drive here too. But after buying it, i have kept it like that for over a month, driving only for places very near to my house. Not even dared to take it to the main road. At last, my fear vanished, when last Saturday, i took my sister to sit at the pillion, and drove through all those difficult lanes, and places, where i never dared to go. Now i m confident, that i can drive in bangalore too. Now friends will not make fun of me, that i m driving too slow, or i m not driving at all. Then i went to buy a helmet of my choice, looks nice.. :-) Great!!!!!!!!! Will put up my photo driving on my scooty pep with my helmet, sometime later....

I do not know, how many people have experienced re-union with old friends, the childhood friends, and ya, the true friends. I have planned a week for such a good cause, to meet my school friends after about 8years. I cannot wait any longer for that day to come. Friends have grown up so much, I cannot imagine one of them is getting married. The plan also includes attending her marriage, spending some time in the pink city of India, Jaipur, Rajasthan, which is another reason to celebrate. I will be back in same place, where i spent my childhood, all those, roads and those places, where i used to go, i have plans to go this time too. And no chances to take, surely will collect all my memories back and store in my camera. Yes, sure, those days will never come back, but yet, to feel that air, itself means too much. I will visit my previous school, that eating place in BITS, etc. Just wish, i will get an entry in the school. I have so much to talk about, and so many people to talk to. God wh...

Nowadays, Bangalore has become so hot, that it started raining with hailstones here. Each evening since 4-5days its very windy and stormy, it do not give a hint that one is in Bangalore. Very unlikely of Bangalore. Anyway on an evening of the first day when it started, i.e. Saturday, me and my sister, were travelling by bus. We were just abt a Km from home that rain started. And the bus has to stop about 25-30steps from home. When we got down from the bus, it was so rainy that to go to the nearby shed.. almost 5steps, itself has soaked both of us. So we decided that since we already are wet, we will move on, hardly have crossed a few steps, we couldnt move ahead, for the fear of hail stones coming down. Not very big, but at least 1/2 a inch size. Thus was forced to take shelter in the nearby house. And when the hail finally stopped, (but rain didn't ) we continued our way to home. And then another problemo, power cut.. and for 3 continous days, there was no power during evening...

I sometimes wonder, what has gone wrong with today's working population in IT industry. Why so many shift of companies in their profile and whats more important for them - money or job satisfaction. Yes, i won't deny that i am among one of them,fighting to get more perks. For me, i think the job satisfaction and the kind of work comes first and then goes the money factor. I find so many people, trying to change their company within a year of their joining or just after a year is over. And this scenario is there not only for a single company, but at present all the companies in this field. Mostly MNCs plays a major role, and all other IT companies who know how to attract new candidates, but knows very less of how to retrain them. And thus, everyone is running after money, even though they may have to work for long hours through the night, making their personal life coming to end. Such people have instances of getting married more than once, and also cannot take the pressure ...

Last two days i spent browsing through so many webpages, all were really informative. All for the cause of making my blog look good and enhancing its features. But really still confused and require lots of more reading on how to change my page and how does this blog template takes it data from.. Ready Get Set GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I visited Chennai April end, and to my surprise, was amazed to see rain there. It was rainy, but still it was so sultry. Sweating as always, a little change in weather but no affect on the humidity. Overall the trip was ok, except for a bad news. Bhaskar's father, who used to live near my appartment in Kodambakkam, has passed away, suddenly of the heart-attack. He was so lively and jolly and mixes up with everyone, that its hard to digest that he is not anymore around. He was survived by his wife and his only son. Stayed in Thiruvanmyur area, went to see the beach, bought some novels and had lots of mangoes. While returning by train, it was raining at least half way to bangalore.

I am a bit excited today, when i was sitting among the interview panelist for the candidate selection. This is a new start in my career, and i wish that i will also make a good entry in this field too. Not so easy to decide on the questions to be asked, to decide his confidence and bla, bla, bla..... Tomorrow, will be interviewing more freshers, and a lots experience, a whole day event to tire off.

Today found one more school friend, Meera Sood, after 7years. She replied to my mail. What next, looking forward to hear more. And found contact with another senior from our Engg College. Now I really want to beleive and thanks internet and google and all those sites that help old friends get in touch.

Myself during my brussels trip. 

It was really amazing to find a friend, Tulika Agrawal, on net, after a long long gap of several years. And thru her, i have now entered into another world where i can keep my friends updated of everything what i want to convey. I heartly want to thank God, and this internet world that made this happen possible.
