Well, I believe that finishing off what I have started is the right thing, however, it’s definitely not an easy task, especially when there is lot of time gap.

My trip to Calgary, CA – Part 01

It’s been a long time since I blogged. I guess sometime during may 2003, while leaving to my cousin’ house in California, I keyed my last one.

On 05th october 2004, 13.00 hr I was waiting at the B22 gate in Toronto, Canada air port to get onto my scheduled flight for Calgary, Canada. The jetsgo flight is all set except for the oxygen containers. At first it sounded scary. Why would oxygen cylinders / containers needs to be refilled? Does this flight uses the oxygen containers that often (because of low pressure and emergencies)? However, after realizing that they are precautions enough, I felt a bit eaze. I already sat there for an hour reading intersting article about the Quake III game over LAN competition in pc gamer magazine. Since it’s been awhile reading some material for more than hour, I was thinking about doing something that makes me feel more comfortable. Continue reading

Indian Independence Day Parade at Edison

Hope you all saw wonderful Independence Day either live or on T.V. On Sunday (08/14/2005), even I was at Independence parade in Edison, N.J. For a moment, I thought it should be on 15th, however, realized that no one will show up on 15th as its Monday. The acting governor and some other white and black chicks have shown up as honor of guests. The weather being 94% humid and ‘Feel like Temp’ 106F (sorry don’t know in C.) even black chicks turned red.

There were some trucks pulling the display sets, over which some school girls are dancing, and old nannies are waving their hands for no reason. Most importantly, ABCD – DJ’s, with French beard, spiked up hair yells – “All the lady’s put your hands up in the air.” as if he were in Dance club, of course, playing desi song – Doom title song rather than ’50 cent’

We went there to eat south Indian thali and came across the Parade. Overall it was okay not bad. But, I am afraid that over years it may turn up good or as worse as a night club party.

Hope you enjoyed the update about the celebration of the Indian Independence Day at Edison. Next year I will be at NYC parade.

ICICI Bank sucks!

You got everything to loose, if you use any of the service offered by ICICI bank. ICICI bank claim’s themselves as second largest bank in India and people knows it. But most of you don’t know that they are second to none in cheating the customers who use their services

What you have to do when the bank that initiated the money transfer cheats? Well the only way as I see is to let your lawyer handle the situation and propagate to everyone that ICICI bank does suck. The latter part is what I would be doing right now. By doing so, at least we could save people like me being cheated by their services. Continue reading
