This past weekend would have turned out to be a total bummer if not for the day trip into Adirondacks… It was supposed to be a muggy and rainy weekend, clearing up later on Sunday. So, our expectations to take the trip to Adirondacks for fall colors fizzled out on saturday… Later in the day,…

Farm Market today…
This ‘Duncan’s Farm Market’ is about a mile from our apartment and we haven’t got a chance to go over there all this summer until today when we are almost in the middle of autumn! It is a cute little space by a local farmer.. While talking to him, he mentioned that this is his…
ஜெயமோகனின் (காந்தியும் இந்தியும்)
ஜெயமோகன் அவர்களின் ‘காந்தியும் இந்தியும்’ கட்டுரைக்கு எனது தத்து பித்து பின்னூட்டும் அதற்கு அவருடைய மதிப்பார்ந்த பதில்களும் (பொருமையாக, எனது பின்னூட்டத்திற்கு பதிலளித்ததற்கு அவருக்கு மிக்க நன்றி) http://jeyamohan.in/?p=4087 எனது மின்னஞ்சல்- தாங்கள் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளது போல் காந்தி அடைந்த நடைமுறை விவேகத்தால் தான் இந்தியை முன்மொழிந்தார் என்றே வைத்துக்கொள்வோம். எனது சொந்த ஊர் பழனியின் அருகே உள்ள பாலசமுத்திரத்தில் வாழும் ஒரு சாதாரண குடிமகனுக்கு இந்தியைக் கற்றுக்கொள்வதற்கும் ஆங்கிலத்தை கற்றுக்கொள்வதற்கும் என்ன வித்தியாசம் தெரியப்போகிறது? காந்தியின் நடைமுறை…
Dentist Visit
Today, I went to the Dentist office for a routing cleaning and also to get couple of very small fillings. After the cleaning, the Doctor came in for the fillings. Initially, I was told that I can get both the fillings on the same day. Now the Doctor said, that I have to come again…
MET Museum
Sept 5th, 2009 Trip to MET – We wanted to visit museums and spend some unplanned time in NYC for sometime. Came across this Museums on Us by Bank of America, which included free admission to some museums on the first weekend of every month. It worked out well for this labor day weekend and…
Mighty Yellowstone!
Aug 7-9, 2009 This was a vacation that we have been wanting to go for a long while and it worked out so fast this time that we didn’t prepare anything except to pick up some maps from AAA (that was a big mistake, coming to know after the trip)!! We set out to visit…
Compaq Presario V6120US
I’ve had this laptop for less than 3 years and the motherboard is cooked, already! Researched HP website and found that there was a recall on my model, but would only provide a limited enhance warranty! I don’t understand this – they admit they have a defective product, but wouldn’t replace it unless it is…
Jaswant Singh and his book
I am appalled to see the reaction to his book. I will state this – I HAVEN’T READ THE BOOK, YET. Why did BJP expel him? What is BJP scared off? Jaswant wasn’t trying to appease any religion or sect. Why shouldn’t he have a freedom to interpret the facts the way he wanted? If…
Medical Costs….
Today morning, I was listening to a piece on NPR about how a hospital has dealt with an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who met with an accident and rendered brain dead… Hospital claims that it has spent more than a million USD and eventually rented a charter plane and deported him to his home country…
Next – by Michael Crichton and……
So much for ‘categorizing’ this under ‘Fiction’!! To me, it didn’t sound too far away from reality, looking at all the happenings around, these days…. Crichton attempts to extrapolate the gene patents and research in the medical field into a horror story (infact, it is a horror ‘happening’ and not a ‘story’!). The author stuck…
