Hey, check out the earth-shattering speed that I am getting from my ISP for the last 12 days..
I have a package for Rs. 500 p.m. from 24Online, and I am supposed to get 256kbps with a 10GB limit.
However, for the last 12 days, the speed is blazing like anything, while the limit remains at 10 GB.
Ain't it awesome ??
Please try to watch this beautiful 3D video, in spite of your pathetic Indian ISPs...
Projection on Buildings from NuFormer Digital Media on Vimeo.
Here's the phone that started it all..
Check out the yuck-ness with which Steve Jobs introduces the ROKR..
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”
– Robert A. Heinlein

My name (alright alright.. my half name.. or atleast the popular half of my name) has its own entry on Wikipedia. Yaay !! I am so bowled over..
Now I am waiting for 'Hrishikesh Choudhari' to figure out on Wikipedia..
Here are photos around 33 MB that I have accumulated over 2 years from various sources. I might have downloaded copyrighted images too, but this is Steve's fandom.. and that rule is distorted in my reality.
I was at the Social Security Office the other day to make a application. I need the SSN for tax purposes. While I was at the officer's desk, he needed my signature on the form. For that he offered me one of many pens from the pen stand. After I signed, I observed the white ball-point pen. On the side was embossed - INDIA. I looked around and saw that all other pens in every pen stand on every desk in that office was the same white pen. Funny, huh??
On 8th of Jan 09, I had the privilege to go to three world-famous places. The first one was the UN Building in NYC. Brodie and I left the house at noon and reached in time for 2.55 pm UN Guided Tour. More about the UN tour can be found here.
After the tour was over, we rushed back to Grand Central Station to catch the sunset on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. We had to go through a lot of security checks in the Empire (more than in the UN). But it was damn windy on the 86th floor. I couldnt hold myself in place and the air was freakingly cold. Then Brodie whispered into my ear - "This is the weather we have in Burlington". That statement made me more scared of Burlington than anything else.
But I was at the right time at the right place. It was around 4.30 pm and the sun was setting on the city skyline. I was having second thoughts whether I should remove my gloves to use the camera (the cold and wind atop was biting!) Thinking that the next time I am on the 86th floor will be atleast 5 years more. So I daringly took off my gloves and started clicking pictures of the horizon. Within a couple of minutes I lost all my sensation in my fingers. I thought that even if I dropped the camera I wouldnt feel anything. Thats why the pictures turned out all blurry. Brodie clicked a couple of pictures too.
After we left the Empire State Building, we had dinner of authentic Italian pizzas at 5.30 pm. (Yeah.. people in America has dinner by 6 in the evening.. weird..).. Then we went back to Grand Central Station to meet Brodie's mom, his brother and sister. From there, we walked down to Broadway - Minskoff Theatre. We were going to see Lion King. Brodie's dad joined us just before the play began.
So now.. let me pause a minute. Because the play put up by the actors was spellbinding. I had never seen anything like that in my life. (I hadnt seen any other play in my life, hehe..) The sound effects, the lighting effects, the stage backdrops were of the quality that only world class entertainers can put up. But more exciting and fun were the costumes.
If anyone has watched the Lion King film, then they know that the animals in the movie are lions, giraffes, hyenas, dodo birds, elephants and antelopes and what not. Believe me, the producers DID make all the costumes look the way it should. It was all very surreal. Entertainment of a lifetime. Not only for me.. even Brodie's family was trying to get tickets to the Lion King show since the past seven years.. This play was certainly a world class experience in itself.
So 8th January, 2009 was certainly high-activity day. World-class politics ( UN ) - world-class building ( Empire State Building ) - world-class entertainment ( Broadway ). What else can a mortal ask for in one day ??
I remember David (Brodie's dad) asking me on my second day here what are the places I would like to visit when I am with them. I said I have no such list. I just managed to say Apple Store. And that was the only place I thought I would like to visit. But being the magnanimous family that it is, the Henrys took me to places I would have never imagined.

We landed at La Guardia at 6.15 pm on 31st Dec. It took us another hour-fifteen minutes to reach home in Fairfield. The winds were very very strong. The small plane in which we landed was shaking very hard.. and I had the window seat.. so I could see the wings trembling against the wind.
Brodie took me along to his old school friend Emma's home around 20 minutes away. There was also Loren who was also Brodie's old school friend, and her boyfriend too.
We went to her basement and Brodie immediately took over the banana recliner. We played some intense foosball among other things. ;)
Of course I would have if it were not for my team-matey..!!
Tom was trying to saddle one of the horses to ride it.. but the horse was in no mood to let him do it..
All the photos that I have taken are here below..
Enjoy all of them..
