My New Treasure - Inspiron 9300

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". Travelled on Red, and Blue lines over there.
Overall it was a good trip, and also, the flight out from Ottawa, was 2.5hrs late :-)

List of ToDos

Why isn't it easy when u sit at home and become lazy that you even forget to make a to-do lists. And keep forgetting that you need to be more organized!! Huh!! Well i am out of it now. .  I have so much to do and I need to figure out what needs to be done first and with priority. I just wish I can go to my pre-marriage life. So that I do things at my own pace.  Well thats just an advantage of being a single. Now I need to be more responsible which I am not becoming. :)  Nowadays running after the kid, thinking of what to feed him and feeding him is the most time i spend in. I  know that these responsibilities are new and will always be there, but now I want some break. It isn't that I want to leave all the responsibilities, but I want to become more organized so that I get time for myself, for my kid and be happy in the game.

Report from Times of India, 24 Oct 2005

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...

1000 Islands Kingston, Canada

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...
