London Stay
May 3, 2008
I was lucky enough to take a break of 10 days at London after three months of slogging at work in US. Half my stay at UK was at Cambridge and the remaining half at London. 4 days can barely do justice to visit London. What I did in these 4 days was just hopping [...]

Grad time friends. They happen to stay here in UK for their masters. We were hanging out in the most [...]
Guided walk tour of Cambridge
April 26, 2008
I am still hovering around in Cambridge and yet to visit London. It was a day of Guided walk tour y’day. After spending sometime at Cambridge University Press book shop, I decided to take the guided walk tour to get to know Cambridge from inside. For 10 Pounds, it is still a value for money. [...]

Since the Weather forecast for London was Heavy rain, I dropped the idea of visiting London.Instead, took the opportunity to visit our office in Cambridge Research Park. Best way to get around in Cambridge is to buy Day rider Ticket for [...]

April 23, 2008
This morning I had this confusion. To start with London or Cambridge ? Then I found out on the web that there is a Guided walk tour starting at Visitor information centre. I knew it’s going to be difficult to get there in the first hit in an unknown place.I took bicycle and went roaming [...]
Dilbert Business Anthology
April 21, 2008
I consider this a special buy. Other day when we were waiting for our Bosses to show up at the dinner, we spent few minutes in the nearby Borders bookstore. There is always something you can pickup at the bargain section. It was a steal for $9.99. Scott adams’, slapped together. Three of his best [...]

Made it to almost 6-7 classes in spite of the hectic office.- The best Boston view from Memorial Drive. [...]

Hiking near Alton
March 31, 2008
8 of us; 2 Indians, 2 Bulgarians, 1 Canadian, 1 American , 1 Polish, 1 Kazhak (truly cosmo ?) were hiking somewhere Near Alton in New Hampshire. Uphill was daunting and I almost gave up several times. But after that view from the summit, I felt it was worth it. Stayed up for 15 minutes [...]
Packed Sunday
March 27, 2008
Visited these historically important places in the history of American Independence. Lexington and Concord. I still havent learnt reading parking signals in US. After failing to find the parking on the roadside, I got inside the parking space of a church on a Sunday morning. Looking at all those who were flocking inside the church [...]

Four Time Zones For One Nation
March 7, 2008
Geography of US is spread out so horizontally…. that it needs four different time zones within the nation. Am I right… there’s a time difference of 5 hours between the coasts ? 15 deg of latitude difference corresponds to 1 hour. But it’s bit political, technically India could have had two time zones but Govt [...]
Art and Visual Perception by Rudolf Arnheim
March 2, 2008
I was browsing the art section at Borders bookstore in Nashua. I picked this green paperback and browsed through few pages. I had an instant liking. It’s expensive at 24$, but could not lay it back. To rationalise my purchase, I searched this book on the web. It turns out to be a pioneering work [...]
Vantage Point

Watched this movie today at Showcase Cinemas. Editing is the hero. Storytelling reminds you of Mani Ratnam’s Yuva . May be you want to check out what is Rashomon style of movie making. Like it?
It’s working. Net-working.
February 17, 2008
It was a very very very hectic week at office. I was to implement a network using two Cisco catalyst switches with virtual redundancy routing protocol (VRRP) enabled. This too over bridged MRV switches. Sounds geeky ?! It isss…..It took me two full weeks right from working it on the paper, to all the way [...]

U2 3D
February 10, 2008
This is my first ever 3D movie. I should say concert movie. U2. I missed watching India’s first ever 3D movie, chhota chetan, when I was small. We went to this Imax theatre at Jordan’s furniture mall in Redding. Clever thing is you can enter the theatre entrance only after passing through their thousands of [...]
Superbowl 2008
February 4, 2008
The entire nation was gripped by the superbowl mania here. We also watched this three hour showdown on the TV between the favorites, New England Patriots and NewYork Giants. It was difficult to make any sense of the game in the initially… but as game progressed we had some sketchy clue. Am still not sure [...]
