Kids here in US got no difficulty in drawing state’s sketch in geography classes. Look at them. More or less most of them have a regualr geometrical shape. Squares and rectangles. Was there some rational in keeping their shapes simple ?

Two movies since I came here. Three similarities. - Watched both of them on the day of the release.- Both are sequels # 3- Both were disappointing SpiderMan-3 and Shrek-3

This is my first experience with travelling in commuter train in US. Took a commuter train from Billerica to Boston. I was expecting [...]

Visited Market Basket this evening. It is like wal-mart to the locals. Eaters. More Eaters. Big Eaters are these Americans. Of the 100 odd shoppers I saw this evening, 90 of them are obese. That’s 90%. From chote chote Kids to aged. I never cared about the obesity stats of america when I read in [...]

I always thought it was just a fiction or…. am not sure if this one is inspired by the Forrest Gump movie ? I took this picture at the heart of TimesSquare in New York. Am no good at camera. But I pick this one as the best from my travel pics so far. I [...]

Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, WTC site, Central ParkThis is what I could see in the short stay. Had the best [...]

If you are travelling to US and fear that you’ll have to eat lots of non-indian food…then you are completely wrong. This afternoon lunch was at this Indian restaurant at Lowell. Udupi Bhavan. We ate Dosa and Idli while others took Indian Thali. This is also a place where you will get to meet fellow [...]
