blogging everyday...

I've been blogging everyday this month, one blog every single day of the month. 31 blogs in this month, in 31 days. People used to tell me I should be more regular, there should be something new to read everytime someone visits. Really?? Didn't seem to work that well. I am still getting almost same number of readers and No comments at all actually!! Probably quality of my writing has detoriated because of too much writing?? Over working i snot good afterall..... But I wrote some god stuff as always. Anyways.... Thanks for coming & reading and please keep doing that. Bring on more raeders too... & keep commenting. Thanks!!!!

Driving in Snow/Ice

It's been snowing all day today, all day!! When I woke up in morning I saw everything around the house covered with snow, including my car. And it was still snowing with chilly cold out there. I didn't have the snow-scrapper for car so I borrowed it form my housemate & cleaned the car. Took me 10-15 mins because there was so much snow!! I was frezing out there. And then driving in snow, or ice which is worst.. hmmmm!! Few things to take care while driving in snow/ice:
  • Drive Slow. Be 10-15 miles below the speed limit and probably drive on the side lane or where you see road with less snow/ice. Don't worry if there's traffic beind you, just go as slow as you feel comfortable.
  • Keep distance. Keep enough distance from the car ahead of you, curbs, signs, sidewalks & ofcourse people. If you see people, just slow down or stop & let them pass by.
  • Do not apply sudden brakes, apply them slowly. Good to have TCS & ABS at such times.
  • Pay attention on the road. No phone calls, distarcting music or anything. You need to know what's happening around you!!.

Being careful while driving in snow/ice is very-very important. I learned that from experience. I bought a snow-scrapper from CVS yesterday for $8 but I might return it as I am not sure if I need to use it. Anyways, Enjoy Snow & Drive Safe... to everyone else, PEACE!!

Charlie Chiang's & Breakers Sky Lounge

I went to Charlie Chiang's at Worldgate for lunch & to Breakers Sky Lounge at Herndon Clock Tower (yeah, same place where the racial profiling stuff happened, read here for details) for dinner. I like Charlie Chaing, they have some Asian-Fusion food includinf some nice Korean, Mangolian, Chinese, Thai etc kind afood. There lunch buffet is like $12 which is fine. The food options are good but they have no decent desserts. Just the lame jelly which I don't like. Breakers is not known for great food, it's a sports bar/lounge afterall. I tried quesadilla (pronounced as 'kussediaa' or /ˌkeɪsəˈdiː.ə/), it was okay. I saw that bartender again & he apologised for that day (the card thing!!). I said it's okay as long as it was not for the wrong reasons!! He said too many young guys come here & he has to be over careful sometimes. I accept his apologies and wul djust take it is a compliment that I look really young (legal age to drink in a bar in US is 21). So that was my day, fooding & fun outside.... Bye!!!

Racial Profiling/Discrimination in US, Again!!

I wrote a blog about Racial Profiling 2 days back & here comes another incident today itself. I went to this sports bar called BREAKERS here in Herndon, with my four new friends from my college. I go to the bar & the bartender (a bald young guy, ofcourse white!!) asks me for my ID. I show him my driving license which I got in Kansas. He checks it & denies accepting it saying it doesn’t looks real. What???? Really?????? WTF??????????? A valid driver's license issued by legal US Authorities, the DMV Kansas looks fake to that dumb stupid guy. I mean, really?????? I have had that card for more than 1.5 years and no one, no one ever has questioned it ever. At any damn place!! This is a card issued by US Authorities and any person with even a minute level of intelligence or little brain would and should understand that. But not for a real jerk standing at the bar as a bartender!!!! The douchebag, even denied my friends license from DMV Alabama. What's happening here?? He sees four brown people entering a bar and he doesn’t likes it, right?? Well... I went to the manager and he knew me already as I go there often, he accepted the mistake and said he'll fix it. I don't think he apologized actually, but he was cool. He kinda knows me and was okay. But the reason I am writing this blog is, what is this?? It never even happened in Boston, which I say is the most racist city I have seen. I will go to Breakers again and have fun as usual. But this incident was surprising, annoying and disturbing as well. Didn't expect this in Virginia… That guy, the bartender there tonight, was really @%$#! (I can't think of a bad word which I can write openly) Afterall, This is not our Country!!

Racial Profiling/Discrimination in US... First Time!!

Just thinking here about being of a different race in US, not a white or black or.... I had my first incident of mild Racial Profiling for the first time in USA when I was coming to Virginia from Boston in Amtrak. What happened? I was sitting in train watching movie when a Police Officer suddenly came & asked me, "Can I talk to you for a min, Sir". Yeah, he called me Sir. I said sure & went with him towards the train doors. He asked for my ID & started asking questions about me, where I am form, what I do where am going & why. Tells me that there are lots of police on the train and he's doing a random security check (really?? all the randomness makes you pick just a brown south East Asian guy!!). I answered all his questions and he was noting all that information in a notebook. I said I understand that he's just doing his job for our security and it's okay. He didn't bother me much though & asked how was my first Amtrak ride & I said it was okay (till then!!). Anyways, it wasn’t too bad & mostly it's okay. Boston sucked big time though, seemed like most racist city in world I have seen. These things are part of being a so called Alien. After all, it's not our country!!!! Read more here...

Tyson's Corner... Shopping Malls

I went to Tyson's Corner in Mclean today. It's one of the biggest shopping mall in the area. Tons of shops are squeezed in this huge mall and it seems all full. Tons of maps at every corner so that you don't get lost, they know you can get lost. These super huge malls are really overwhelming. And ususally things are so damn expensive in malls. Specially in India... You can find similar stuff for way less in retail outlets etc. I remmeber the days when there were no malls and we used to go to our town markets (bazaar) and buy stuff at usual stores. The regular bargains and stories of being a regular customer. There was only one mall inDelhi, Ansals Plaza. All the bollywood movies shooting for shopping mall in India, used to go to Ansals. We used to go there sometimes just to hang out. We could not even think of buying stuff there. Just get an ice cream at Mcdonalds usually, or stuff like that. Now there are malls just everywhere.  Malls, Malls & Malls!!!

Resume vs Curriculum Vitae

I didn't know that Resume and Curriculum Vitae (CV) are different. I thought my beautiful 5 page document was a nice resume. Turns out I was wrong!! A resume has to be 1 or 2 pages at max. I found this at my college class, so they are actually teaching us something... Resume is just a short document which summarises your career & experience. CV are more detailed and elaborate. I checked it online and this information is correct. No one ever told me that till now.... Well, I am updating my 5 page CV to 2 page resume now. Also creating a cover letter which I always thought was lame. But I am in job market searching for job now, so I need to all the right things. So this was about my 3rd lecture at college. I went in my car like last week, driving at almost 70 miles/hour (110+ km/hr) on the freeway. Reached there in less than 30 mins cool. Fun of the car, it's nice!! Everything else is nice as well.... Take Care!!

Geico vs Allstate

Just like having a car is fun, so much comes with it. I mean the not-so-fun part. Like the regular money for gas (petrol, you should remember that by now!!); maintenance, decoration, cleaning & everything else. I have been spending money like crazy since I got my car. Decorating it in & out and doing all that. And yes, the Insurance!! When I applied for insurance from ALLSTATE, they said that I do not have any insurance history in US so 1st time it's going to be $1000 for 1st six months which they may reduce later. I bought it knowing nothing. But then I called GEICO. They said they can do he same, or actually better insurance for less than $600. See... Allstate was ripping me off, or whatever. So I bought that & canceled the insurance with Allstate. Hopefully, now I am in good hands (without Allstate). But yeah, its so damn expensive to have a car. I need a job ASAP. Money in my account is going down like anything (what goes down very fast?? our politician's character & moral values maybe)... Everything else is okay. It was raining today & yesterday a lil. Weather is fine & so am I. Take Care!!

Tae-Kwon-Do

I joined martial arts classes today, for Tae-Kwon-Do. I have been looking forward to do some high level cardio for perfect fitness and wanted to go for either Kick-Boxing or Martial Arts. I picked this because it is close to my house for now and I have always had interest in Martial arts (baiscally, become & being called a black-belt). Hopefully it will be nice. One nice thing though.... when I was leaving, the master asked, "Are you driving home?". I said :yes (ofcourse in my new awesome car". He asked me "how old are you?". I said "** (I am not revealing it here)". he said "Ohh, I thought you maybe 16 or something (so not legal to drive)". So.... either the guy (the master/trainer) is too bad of a judge of age, or I look too young. I'll pick the second and just be happy. So, bye for now.... HAAA!!

Rajdhani Temple & Dollar Tree


Today is Tuesday and I keep fast on Tuesdays. For part religious & part health reasons. Religious as in its a day of Lord Hanuman and people fast for that (you'll get a nice husband they say, considering the fact that Hanuman Jee was baal-brhamachaari how exactly does that happenes??). I understand that fasting once a week is good for health. it cleanses body and makes us stronger. I just eat fruits & milk today. No grains specifically and no sugar, salt, spices or any oil/fat as well. I've been doing it for more than an year now and I am quite fit as you know (Really??). I also went to Rajdhani Temple today (3rd time in 4 days, I didn't go even once when I stayed here earlier.. wow!!) and particicpated in Arti/Puja, it was nice. I remember Hanuman Chalisa completely so sung it aloud and other bhajans-keertans as well. Took the prasadam laddu which I can't eat yet as I am on fast (was almost tempted to eat that besan ka laddu, yum!!).
Then went to Dollar Tree. OMG, Dollar Stores suck... why? They have a board at entry that 'pick a cart, because you will need one'. And yeah, the cart was so full by the time I was half done. Everything there is for one dollar, grocery, food, utensils, home stuff, bathroom stuff, decoratives, medicines.. I mean everything!! And I just keep picking stuff seeing it's so cheap so I can definitely find some use for it somewhere. Atleast ends up spending 40-50 dollars. Well, they are not bad as they have some nice stuff for so cheap. Just too bad for someone like me who has addictive shopping, specially at cheap deals or great bargains. Yesterday I did nothing actually. Just cooked my famous Pachranga/Gamda Daal, it was actually nice. Nothing special I think so I'll close for now. Thanks & Take Care... JAI HANUMAN!!

I bought a CAR... Awesome!!

Well, if you read my blogs you would know this already that I bought a Car, my first car in US (if not then click here & read and check out features/pics here). One of the most awesome cars actually. Everybody who has seen it or driven it has just loved it. Some say its like Mercedes, some say Bentley or Jaguar. It is actually a KIA AMANATI. Really an awesome car. As first thing, I took the car to Rajdhani Temple yesterday. My first visit to any temple in Virginia (it was not like the priests and others were just waiting for my visit, no flower shower on me or jai-jaikaar yaar), I never went when I was here earlier for such a long time. Then went to college in my car (not like our bollywood movies though, where I get out of awesome car & just start singing/dancing with 100s of other students joining me in chorus like thats all we have been studying/practising forever), awesome!! And also went to a club later in night in my car (No wonders here as well, I was no star of the night at the club like our heroes who sing/dance better than those poor paid performers of that place). Well, all accomplished, lol.... I am so happy to have a car and that too such an awesomely (is that even a word?) great one, really just Awesome!!

Thanks!!

Happy Makar Sankranti!!!


Makar Sankranti is celbrated all over India with many different names. In Uttar Pradesh it's called "Khichdi", in Punjab its "Lohri", in Andhra it's "Bhogi", in Assam it's Bihu, in Tamil Nadu it's "Pongal", in Gujrat it "Uttarayan" and many such different names in diferent states of India (if you didn't know, there are 28 states in India). It's basicaly a harvesting festival where people come together and celbrate the harvest or just celebrate (cuz not many farners these days but we all love to celebrate). Every place has there own rituals & ways actually. But I remember it as the day of eating lots of nice stuff like ghazak, gudpatti, chikki, moongfali with revari and what not, mmmmmm (I am getting water in my mouth while writing this). Ofourse missed all that being here in USA but I did my first cooking here this year and enjoyed myself. However just had one meal s didn't get time to cook whole day because my car search being on. But eveing food of awesome egg-curry was finally great. Well everyone, HAPPY SANKRANTI!!

Happy Lohri!!

Lohri reminds me of the nice lohri campfire and great music playing really loud, dancing around, throwing groundnut & popcorn into it and just having fun. Specially in Delhi or in Punjab where this is a major festival. Traditionally, by the end of the first week of January, small groups of boys go ringing doorbells and chanting some kind of doggerel with each line ending in “HOYE” (in chorus). Lohri songs are rhymed nonsense, at times very funny. For example:
Saalee paireen juttee
Jeevey Sahib dee kuttee
Kuttee no nikalya phoraa
Jeevey sahib da ghora
Ghorey uttay kaathee
Jeevey sahib da haathee
Haathee maarya padd
Dey maaee daanya da chajj
(My sister-in-law has slippers on her feet/ Long may live the Sahib’s bitch./ The bitch developed a sore/ Long live the Sahib’s horse./ The horse has a saddle/ Long live the Sahib’s elephant/ The elephant let out a loud fart/ It gave the old woman a start.) Happy Lohri to all my Readers. Have fun!!

I lost my map...


Yeah, I mean the visitor map... where it used to show millions and billions of my visitors (I can say any number I want now). Turns out yesterday they archived it because I had completed an year with them. Ummmm.. I can understand that I guess. Just keep on adding red dots to that map & all what will be left soon is just red dots and no map (maybe not with the nuber of visits I used to get). Why is it important?? To see who all are visting you and from where, to cater to taste of your audience, to brag about your number of visits on the blog (if it's good, or just lie if you can)... but honestly just because it's cool to have it. Well as anything else, or manythings else... a new vistor map has started and hope it does even better than the last one. Until then, Thanks a lot all my dear visitors & readers!!

First lecture/class of College in US

I had my first lecture/class for my MS course today (Saturday, 01/09 actually. So it is technically yesterday but I am still up tonight!!). How was it?? Ummmm.. let's see. Turns out there is no public conveyence on weekends in the area where I live in Herndon. Only one bus runs i.e. Fairfax connector 950, and I am not on there route. What do they expect? That no one dares to go anywhere on the weekends in my area? Or we can work on weekdays but just sit at home in wekeends, unless I have a car or enough money to take a cab/taxi? I don't know... Again, my friends came to my rescure and my dear friend Harish picked/dropped me for today. So... I need a car or need to change the place. Considering the fact that I found this place after so much trouble & pain (everything I do is a lot of pain & effort ofcourse!!), I'll try to stick to the place for now and look for a Car. That's the dilemna of living in US, you NEED a CAR. You can only survive without a car in Big Cities, like New York or Boston or Chicago or maybe DC. That too only if you have to travel or commute inside the city. As soon as you step out side the city you are lost...


Well.. the first class was fine actually. No ragging for sure, that's an Indian thing it seems.Bad thing is I won't get to rag my juniors as well. The classrooms were usual and our first class was actually in the library. The young professor introduced us to hismelf and the course. He just took 1 hour out of 4 hours allocated to him so we got free early. There was only half attendance which was surprising but cool. He said that he'll usually take 2 hour classes only & I am happy about that too. Nothing special again though. Just a cool day... Take Care!!

Falana Dhimkana: Veer

Isn't it just easy to sit & write such motivational () poems but not do anything yourself, lol. Anyways, poem is nice so click here & read it on my other blog Falana-Dhimkana.

Found a place & moved

After my huge efforts (everything I do is considered a HUGE effort afterall) for searching a place to live in VA, I finally found a place here in Herndon and moved. Rent is $410 with all utilities (water, electricity etc are considered as utilities). Found this place on Craigslist, whcih is a townhouse (basically an individual house, not an apartment) with 3 bedrooms & I'll have one of the bedrooms. Bathroom, Kitchen, Dining room, Living Room etc is shared between the three housemates. Just moved tonight, lets see how it goes....

Searching for a place to live in Virginia/DC

Its my 5th day in VA now & last day of the first week of year 2010. The next struggle is to find a place to live. Craigslist & sulekha.com is the place to do it, not like old days when we need to wander looking for "To-Let" signs (which we used to think of as Toilet, lol). I did it recently in Boston & managed to find a place somehow where I survived for a month.... I mean lived for a month. It was actually fair enough. had nice roommates, decent place, a bed of my own in a room of my own (living room actually, but designated to me. how cool is that!!). The days of corporate living are gone, where I had 1 or even 2 bedroom fully furnished apartments (I mean really furnished, with everything from bed, linens, drawers, sofas, TV, everything in kitchen... i mean just everything for a luxury housing) just for me. With latest corporate cars from corporate rental with gas (in US, petrol is called gas. As we kow that they like to do things different from rest of the world) paid as well. So those days are gone & the new days are on, Full-On!!

Falana-Dhimakana: Taste of Iron

How do words evolve into a poem,
Look, try to identify...
Man himself, tangled in the web of letters.
Did you hear...
Is it the sound of iron Or blood spilled on the soil?
Don’t ask the blacksmith about the taste of iron...
Ask the horse, who has it in his mouth.
Transalation of a Hindi poem (kavita) by "Dhoomil", read my other blog FAlANA-DHIMAKANA for more...

First Day of College in US....

I thought this would be a long & special blog, but..... Yesterday was first day of college actually, in US.... first day of college again after almost 10 years (you think I must be sooooooo OLD)... wow!! can you imagine how it was?? ummmmm... lame!! lol!!! i mean nothing special really.... All day wasted in orientation & registration, picking courses, paying fee & all that..... long day actually!! Why do they have so much paper work & form filling on first days. In school, in colege, in job, in anywhere... why?? (What do you expect, just take people in without any paper work & proof etc, just because they want it??) I have opted for weekend classes, so next/first class is on this Saturday. That's it, nothing else to tell.... it was just a fair day!! The First Day of College in US....

Boston to DC.... my first Amtrak Tour!!

So I moved to Virginia... Why I say DC? Arrey yaar, to go to VA (where I live, now) I need to go to Union Station at Washington DC and I am 30 mins away from there. So I took my first Amtrak ride from South Station in Boston. I had 5 bags: 3 large bags, one carry on bag each 50+ lbs & one laptop bag which was 20+ lbs (My backpack laptop bag's awesome & I use it like anything for my travels). Amtrak allows two 50 lbs 21" bags as carry on & three 50 lbs 36" bags for check in (larger bags but still same weight as carry on even for check in, huh!! But I managed to squeeze 50+ in all bags. & It's awesome thing considering the fact how much I suck at packing :). You need to check in your bags 30 mins before departure & as usual I was late by few mins (when was the last time I was on time?? I guess I was born on time as expected.. or not!!!). So, they didn't let me check-in my bags, all requests were useless on those american Amtrak ears. However, they allowed me to take all those bags as carry on... so nice of them naa!! But... imagine carrying 5 heavy bags alone in a train as carry ons, UGH!!! But the amazing me managed to do that, I got all the bags in the coach by myself & placed them (they have really huge compartments to place bags there, i guess they make everyone carry check ins as carry ons), got a seat close by to my luggae, doors & toilet too (you can sit anywhere you want, no assigned seats). Amtrak ride is okay, fine seats & all that. They even have power ports so I plugged my laptop & watched two movies, Blue (it was just okay, 5/10. they spent hell lot of money on under water scenes, special effects maybe & start cast but forgot to put in the story properly I guess. Ohh, it turns out they had American writers for this, lol!!) and Moon (was fine, 7/10. they had american writers heer too probably but it was interesting concept about deranged clones working on moon). The train reached DC at time in morning and I got my luggage out of coach by myself. On the platform I got a Red-Cap (they are like porters/bellboy & help to carry your luggage on a big trolley and they wear red caps). He kept my luggage on trolley & took me to the gate (I tipped him $5, yeah I did that) where I waited for my friend to pick me up. I don't understand one thing though, why the hell they don't have trolleys on train stations. They allow so many heavy bags as luggage but don't think people would need a trolley to carry those bags, WTF?? Well... My friend Harish came up to pick me 7 o'clock in morning in the damn cold of DC, thanks!! Like my friends Emon & Anand came to drop me at Station in Boston; that's what real friends are for, thanks guys!!
Also I had my first incident of mild Racial Profiling for the first time in USA. What happened? I was sitting in train watching movie when a Police Officer suddenly came & asked me, "Can I talk to you for a min Sir". I said sure & went with him towards the train doors. He asked for my ID & started asking questions about me, where I am form, what I do where am going & why. Tells me that there are lots of police on the train and he's doing a random security check (really?? all the randomness makes you pick just a brown south east asian guy!!). I answered all his questions and he was noting all that information in a notebook. I said I understand that he's just doing his job for our security and it's okay. He didn't bother me much though & asked how was my first Amtrak ride & I said it was okay (till then!!). Anyways, overall it was a decent ride & decent experience on Amtrak. I finally moved to VA & lets see what happens next, lets just keep our fingers crossed & hope for the best!!! Well, the question is why do we cross our fingers & what does it do??? lol.... bye friends & thanks for stopping by!!!

NYE celebrtion in Boston & leaving MA to VA for MS in IT... Cool Naa!!

So, what's this (actually, the previous blog)?? Just webdings fonts saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!!!!!!!!!", cool naa!! However the direct link takes you to my new awesome blog "Falana-Dhimkana" about poetry & prose by me or liked by me, started this new year..... So, what did I do for new year? I went to Boston's First Night Celebration. Wasn't bad, it was nice actually. Thay had lots of shows (like bhangra dance, bands, music, improv comedy etc) at Hynes Convention Center. All you needed was the Button ticket for the Event which was $18. I got it for $5 only by buying it from another person, cool naa!! Then they had some band performing at Boston Commons as well, which was kinda lame but okay (means I like lame, huh!!). But they had lots of Ice Sculptures all over the city which was really cool (now what the hell do you expect, ice sculptures to be hot?? huh!!). I like ice sculptures & sand sculptures too, cool naa!! Then went to a Nightclub after midnight. And as expected, the club was full but lame as always (& I didn't like it which means I dint like lame, huh!!). Boston Nightclubs are lame & I hate them & Boston too. But the NYE in MA (Massachusetts, such a tough word that I can never get it right without spell check. Even now, huh!!) was good, cool naa!!
So... many of you might be thinking. What next? What am I doing? (if not then please do think yaar,
read this). I am moving to Virginia (VA). I'll be doing MS there in IT. Why Virginia? Because I like Virginia, i love it. I spent long time there in 2007-08. Sweet memories, lots of friends, goood place. Why MS in IT? Because that seemed most suitable thing to do right now for me, that's it. I am moving tomorrow so details will follow soon. Till then wish me luck & Thanks... cool naa!!
