Back to blog and Usa..

Ah, everytime the title of any thing i write starts with back to something ,,,,, why i keep on going back to whatever ?? Anyways that can be discussed later.

I am back in USA ( don't ask for how many days) after about month and half in India... Visited my family for about 10 days ,,, met all my folks ,, had a ripper of a time except for the overwhelming 'Shaadi' talk,,,, somehow i managed to run off ,, all of you who dont know about the concept of arranged marriages in india, I can explain it later using the (in)famous 'Slot machine' theory.

Was in chennai for about a month and ahhh what a month it was ,,, slogging in office for hours and hours and still the project was scrapped ,,,, all that 24/7 work and working Xmass and New year eve went waste ,,,

So again back in USA doing " who knows what " ,,,, let me find out and i will get back to blogging then ,,,,

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 ...
