Cats And Dogs

Jeane has just hit the coast of state of Florida. Hey, this isn't Billie Jeane which MJ sang while performing his break-dance; this is something else. This being the fourth hurricane samshing the coast of US in just a matter of few weeks. Wonder why only Florida? Well, according to the meterological department its the disturbances in the Pacific ocean which is causing these destructive breeze flow. But there is another theory which is creeping up in me and my friend's mind, though totally baseless or abstruse. It was this state which helped George Bush to win the election last time here, so is it some kind of coincidence or just another event of the mysterious weather.

Anyway, the Jeane effect was here today at this place and the whole place was donned by the grey clouds. Clouds remind me that there is a great song "Cloud number Nine" by Bryan Adams. Its one of my favourite song and Bryan Adams - he's terrific. So today, when I woke up, I looked out of the window after pulling up the curtains. Woh!, it was amazing, with drizzling going on it was a perfect day for a hot tea and pakoras. I chucked the ideas of pakoras due to genuine constraints, but made a cup of garamma - garam tea. After getting prepared for myself, I left for the office. Its was an awesome view of the downtown. All the skyscrappers were enshrouded by the clouds. The river water waves, being high tide, were hitting the sides of the river side-walkway in its full strength making roaring voice. By the evening, the drizzle had begotten to decent pour. The roads wore deserted look and paths were empty with the people inside their workplace, or under the shelter gulping the tea and coffee or having puff of smoke-stick, the cigarrette.

It was late in the evening when I started for my home, sweet home. The pour hadn't stopped till then. It was at the same pace or perhaps more. There was Company's shuttle which took me from office to the nearest subway, thus helping me in not getting drenched, though I had an umbrella. I caught the train and within 10 minutes I was walking down or perhaps like horse cantering to get fast to my house. I had umbrella but the breeze was so fast that it was hard to manage the umbrella. twice it happened, my umbrella became inverted mushroom and I had to put it back. The pour was never stopping and breeze was making my movement and the control of the umbrella difficult. Finally after great effort, I reached the home and took a sigh of relief.

Its still raining cats and dogs.

A Good Day

Though the day started bit late at around noon when I woke up from the dreams. Had plans of going to New York City yesterday but somehow didn't get executed properly. So, we decided to persue the plan today and got ready after brief breakfast of frosted cornflakes and milk. Meanwhile, I put my clothes for washing for the following week (See how well I manage my stuff).

Within an hour or so we (me and my friend) were out to take a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge, one of the most favorite spot for the tourists. Just like a traveller, we had put on the bag at the back with some stuff in and my Canon SLR to capture some picturesque landscape. We reached there in about 30 min from my place. Before that we visited one Chappel (I don't remeber its name,now).

Though I used to see the bridge from our office but nothing like seeing it from close and walking on it. It gives me remembrance of SRK taking a stroll on it and singing (KHNH syndrome!!) "Har Pal Yahaa Ji Bhar Giyo". It gives an awesome view of the Manhattan and Statue Of Liberty. Wonder what would have been the view when the twin towers were there. Getting those three in One view: The Brooklyn Bridge, Statue Of Liberty and the Twin Towers, the pride of New York skyline.

Some history: The bridge was the first to bridge Brooklyn and Manhattan, then the most advanced land on earth. Built in 1875, its engineer had a fatal accident while the bridge was under construction, the thick mettalic wire hit the engineer.

We also went to "Oyster Festival" in Brooklyn just down of the Bridge. It was amazing with alcohol and band playing there and all college crowd. The day was filled with enthusiasm and frivolity.

Totally, a good Sunday afternoon.

Arz Kiya Hain....

Humne socha hum hi chahte hain unko par unko chahne waalon ka to kaafila nikla,
Dil ne kaha shikayat kar khuda se par wo khuda bhi unko chahne waala nikla.

Well, these are just few lines in praise of her. She's fantastic, awesome and simply amazing. To tell the truth, she has been with me for quite some time and I relish her presence. She's gorgeous when donned in the the traditional wear. Tomboy character is what is reflected from when she's all clad with jeans and top. Her panache gets more elegant by her coiffure.

She's none but ....

Ek ada apki dil churane ki,
ek ada ake dil mein bas jane ki,
Ek chehra aap ka chand sa,
Ek zid hamari chand pane ki.

Oh God!

Generally surfing the net, I stopped by the site which I used to visit frequently long time before. Having gone through all the masala news, I thought to read something on Astrology. So checked my bhavishya for the day, then for the week and then for the month. Awesome is all I can say. Ofcourse, true for personality like me.

Then I tried to find the compatibilty between me and my girlfriend. It asked my zodiac sign and that of my partner's. After choosing for both if us, I clicked on "Get Lucky", keeping my finger crossed. It took a second to display the result. It said: "Error. Unexpected error occured during transaction. If problem persists, please contact Administrator".

Oh God! help me.
