Good thing

I would say about myself is I am BIG CARELESS fellow. I think I can attribute my ill Luck to this habit.... reasoning might lead to this....

Lets hope "somebody" helps me to improve as no incentive or result could help me improve this.

I "love" you mate

Hopping planes and cities

Abey you coming here again? Thrice in a week!!! -- Ankur & Kanti

Yeah that's been my story over the fortnight. I flew from Dubai to Jaipur, took a bus to Gurgaon and then flew to Bangkok returned back to Gurgaon, then by bus to Jaipur and flew back to Dubai to process my china visa. again flew to Jaipur, took bus to Gurgaon and flew to Shanghai via Hong Kong. and then came to Dubai direct today.

Shanghai airport: Looks wise it is good otherwise it is the pathetic airport. No ATM's work, you cannot exchange INR/THB/AED wtf. minimum feed is 50RMB as if all the flying Chinese are millionaires and people who come to china are also millionaires. you don't get much to eat. Burger King takes only cash no credit card. I had to run around all the airport to get 20RMB but I couldnt get from any proper source. I exchanged INR with RMB from an Indian traveler from Kolkata. The other worst part is it is 55Km from the main city. so for a 0715 flight I started at 0400 and reached by 0520. This is when there was no traffic. In terms of architecture etc it is amazing much better than Dubai and other airports.

Delhi Airport: Cute airport. I love Indian airports usually you could be through will all the process of checking in, Immigration etc in 15-20min**. I did it twice in delhi :). since it is small so very compact therefore walking time is less. But the usual practice of highlighting the presence is there. I think we could be much better and improve our airports on security checks. May be installing the better X ray machines.
Also the other thing which needs attention is the taxi service. you should use dedicated airport taxi and run it on meter I think many more will use it, if the fare becomes "legal". Prepaid is not good.
Other good thing which we could do is the "chaffeur" service as in you handover you luggage to be checked in at the flight gate and you will get it back as soon as you get off the plane. No waiting nothing. Easy beasy yupp and easy!!!

** Mumbai was good I use to start from home 2 hs before flight and everything was on JIT basis. I miss those days here and everywhere.

rest airports are ok or not worth the special comments. May be I dont remember now.

Hanover was amazing. Thanks to Nitesh I enjoyed the place. VERY BEAUTIFUL, cool, calm. and has two Indian restaurants. It is inexpensive as well. Picturesque now i could say that the windows desktop photographs are real. actual color changing of the leaves. Though it had just started but still I could see. I visited school, did some house work for Nitesh & gang. I did my best to screw up the school visit thanks to Nitesh I could improvise and do something better. Cameroon was hot. attended a panel discussion on the financial crisis, was surprised to see how they were commenting on Paulson and Bernanke the ease with which they were taking their name.

Met Sandeep Sharma aka Saand in MIT just by sheer luck. I was waiting outside Stata Building for Varun and then I see somebody rushing down the stairs and looking at me (Since I was the onely giy dressed in suit so I didnt took much notice) after sometime I made out from the voice that it is Sandeep. Good to see him but both had to rush so it was hi & bye only. I was at my careless best at MIT or may be I was having NBD to catch the flight to Dubai. I dont know forgot my camera, left the door unlocked, left the session without taking lunch.

Also I ran into Harshad Kasture, my hostel junior, at a supermarket. Then we had a party together, myself, Karthik (host) Varun and Harshad. I made the tadka for Daal and rice & vegetable were cooked by Karthik. Varun got the red wine for just $3.00.

Actually many a things to write on my travelogue. I think I will write tomorrow.

I said NO, but they said something about getting along. What I say is a phone call doesnt take much time howsoever busy you are orany strange things happen to you? We are talking something serious, its not a joke or something proposed by others. But the good thing is chapter closed and I love this. another deja vu. another parallel with him.

I am tired, just finished two applications thinking of next two will start on them by tomorrow.

Mango

I'm Mango
You are luscious, exotic and sweet. You inspire passon and lust in everyone you meet. A mango lover is a personality to be reckoned with; quite often you are a person who has unique ideas, and influencer. You tend to be an extremist with strong likes and dislikes; and at times even like to control a situation.

I have to write, but I am busy with some other GOD stuff.

- US trip
- Boston, Hanover, Chicago
- Airports
- Flights
- Random People (Sandeep, Harshad...)

Ofiice
Deal

LIFE

and the most important NO today!!!

Love you Mate

My stay in USof A

I can only say India is Best and India is Great!!!!
My stay here is going good except for the fact that it is a truly Ulti States:
- You cannot use the International Credit card to do...... a lot of stuff. Only you can pay the hotel bill
- You dont get cell phone chargers at airports
- You dont get the prepaid cards easily....actually the concept is not known here!!! go to my lovely India even you could do this from paanwale ki thadi!!!

I am not complaining but somehow I am forced to..... otherwise it is a good place

I am writing this post from Rochester airport where the flight to Chicago is delayed by an hour :( I hope this doesn't happen to the Boston--> NYC flight I only have 1hour 30 min difference :(

I am doomed..... shifted one of the applications to second round....

Mother of all

after some time

Been busy or may be pretending to be busy. Taking GMAT on 2nd. Haven't done anything on first application and neither on the preparation and on Saturday I have my final driving test. For sure this time it will be either way. I dont think I am doing justice.

The exercise schedule is long gone. Aalas is supreme commander.

Few days back was remember the old days in Jaipur when every Sunday at 3:30 pm I use to listen Diamond comics show, in which they relayed some part of the new comics...... this show had interesting tune as it is starting jingle.

Who cares!!!

met Fukka Dada and Shweta Bhabhi, she is good cook. I liked the way she maintained the house, lovely. Inspired me to return to khobar soon and more often :P

the last drag

always leaves me wanting for more. The last sip from the mango juice glass or the last bite of the Black Forest Pastry leaves a big empty space. Same feeling after you get a decent bargain, I could have done better. Its a nice feeling the more you indulge the more you savor it.

I am not serious (may be the same feeling of wanting more), I am sure I should do better and concentrate on things I need to do and the list is long. There is a difference in enjoying the ambiguity and foolishness. The news is my boss is joining executive MBA at SP jain center here.

Had a trip to Egypt for 6 days. Egyptian girls are beautiful. May be the way they dress or their figure but they are HOT. Now I can walk around in Cairo. Found some nice Cafe's with the SHEESHA. It is the best. Gyaani or mentoring trip but finally I gave in after 3 sessions. Lets see if I could get a better result. People on both the ends do not understand or may be they dont want to.

Desperation. How could a literate person do this? you have the situation in front of you and you want to enjoy but be sensible. Whatever....

Sharmaji ka phone is number not in use. He is another useless fellow in the world more than I am. Lots of catching up happening these days. Vahi, RPT, Reddy, Ramakant, Andy, Uttam, bharat and it is building up :).

Nothing much but have to figure out a lot of things. Nbdu.

After 710

lies a whole sequence of numbers from 720 to 800, each member differing the previous one by 10. in three and half weeks time from now I WILL have one of those numbers against my name and I hope to get into the top half of the sequence.

small small steps lead you to a higher position. So work on small small things :)

My luck with these tests websites is not improving either.

ubuntu

ubuntu, in the African Bantu language, stresses collective success over individual achievements.

That's what I am looking for :)

though achievements are good but the collective success delivered is watched!!

Go for It.

I get knocked down but I get up again!!!

25 days

of hard work required to finish the second book of the year. The Da Vinci Code. modest 489 pages not very difficult English, though this time again I didn't refer to dictionary much but the flow couldn't be disrupted. Nice , fast moving step by step typical thriller setting. I thought I could finish it yesterday night but couldnt so finished of 40 odd pages first thing in the morning.

Cricket, South Africa is doing very well and Flintoff has comeback good. Sehwag is unpredictable. Anyways what I want to highlight here is as soon as log on to cricket commentary on cricinfo wihtin no time atleast a wicket falls. This I have observed over past one month, the Eng Vs SA and India Vs Srilanka. today I just logged on and Kumble went down to Murali. though Kumble is susceptible to get out quickly but still. So I will check only once a day. :) But still i can follow Eng Vs SA :P

Lots of work to do today.

Cheers
Tyson
