After few busy weeks

Back to my blog after few hectic weeks ,,,, All the work and no play is makin' me a dull boy ,,,

So finally got time to call my folks back home,,, people were jus' slamming me for being too elusive these days ..

Now our 'family' here has finally begin to scatter,, it had reached the threshold level of 8-9 months and as the migration season sets in, ppl have started to move back to india ,,, Deep went to India last week ,,,, Had a formal dinner as he was going back ,,, I wore a jacket after few years i think :-) last wore it at some marraige party :-). Went to a revolving resturant in Radisson ,,, it was a good view overlooking Ohio river ,,, Near out favorite haunt , New port in 'Sin'Sinnatti .. The food was pathetic tho ... but clicked few pictures ,,, including the one for kandi ,,, shaadi.com profile .. I will post some pics sometime ...

And the niagara falls .. RIP

First a short story about how Niagara Falls got its current name. As recored in history the Niagara falls were known as nonamme falls till 1979. It seems to be a very uninspired name, but that was how it was .. Then on 23rd June 1979 two persons came to see the falls from country side of India, the wheat bowl of india, punjab. One of them was Dr. Manjit Singh Nagra, a professor in Guru Nanak Dev Univesity, a majestic looking sardar. The second one was his friend, in need in deed, Mr. Payara Singh Bhogal. Both of them enjoyed the maid of mist trip ,, looking around and finally came to the edge of falls. Dr. Nagra was amazed to see the flow of water,, he started jumping around in joy at the marvel of nature(For all the non beleivers he was just jumping, not doin' any hip hop moves as Dr. Zeus had not started mixing his music at that time). But see the twist of nature here, the same all powerful nature, his foot slipped while jumping (Ok i agree he was doing the 1 step 2 step move that Ciara copied in her video later) and phew ... he fell headlong in the water .. and just then his friend Mr. Bhogal started shouting Nagra Falls .... Nagra Falls ... Nagra Falls .. and Eureka the marketing smart promotors of the falls found the hip new name ...Niagara Falls .. Never mind the additional few characters as americans never do the same thing as rest of the world.

Dr. Manjit Singh Nagra gave a huge sacrifice but his name will live in this world forever . Lets salute this brave son of Punjab.

Back..

Returning to my blog after a long time. The trip to Florida did not materialize, vijaysree is cribbing till now .... Anyways spend one day in Kings Island , it was good timepass with some scary rides,, enjoyed like hell. The drop zone was amazing, the free drop from 450 feet was kool, just left me wondering how much fun it will be to do a jump from a plane,, man gotta go for it. The second day just went around roaming in newport, cincinatti,, ate a crappy place called Cafe Istanbul , some pathetic kebabs, even the ones you get in streets of NY are better.... Missing those Haryali and reshmi Kebabs from the mysore days .... Nostalgia ...

This week is winding to its end . And it seems like it was the last week of my 'virtual' vacation in office . The work in my project gonna start from the coming week and its gonna be one hell of a job to pull off. Some exiciting times are coming .. yipee

Anyways the Florida vacation plan seems to be in bit of limbo.. Looks like I will cool my heels in our sweet village Dayton for the may 30 long weekend. And this is a real village, not like 'The Village' in New York :-) . If staying in dayton means again spending the nights in Pearl, it gonna be :-( sad. Oh the mention of Pearl, reminds me of the beautiful gal in there, we have been eying each other for some time, anyone gotta some tips on how to approach a gal, holler me back,, dunno when i will get comfortable flirtin' with strangers :-)

The acheivement of this week was the awesome definition of SPM, ( Senior Project manager):: PM with a (as)S in front.. I can imagine where the definition is coming from jassi :-)

Another day goes by

Another day, another week goes by... All of day I have been surfing net as usual, but today with a specific pupose, to gather some information about Florida to plan a trip for may end.

Last weekend was kool, roamed around in mamoth caves national park for 2 days. Living in a jungle cabin was a great experiance, thought the cabin had all the facilites from AC to microwave, what jungle man!!!! But the caving experiance was good and the greenary around Bowling green , awesome as Joel likes to say it, good break from the routine in beavercreek.

So where is our search for Florida headed to ..... Creatures of night look determined to be headed to the south beach to enjoy the natural and natural pleasures of Florida.... But after the last weekend experiancing the cabin life, might be we will be renting out out cabin this time also ....

:-( look like most of cabins are already booked ...

let me concentrate on search :-)
