While volunteering at the sweat check station at the Brazen Lake Chabot 5k, 10k, Half-marathon event, a runner came over to collect her bag. She completed her half marathon, and as with any other runner, I just striked a conversation with her as well.We were talking about the running, and trail runs, muddy trails, injuries, and stretching exercises.The women kept staring at my beard while I was

Started the day with a bad stomach!! lolz!! yes the aftermath of spicy Indian dinner on christmas.. Given that I woke up late, I was contemplating on the thought of running to PaloAlto or to run to Fremont, which is a 6 hr run from San Jose... Settled down for University Ave, Palo Alto. Mapped the route on iphone, and started off well. And as I said before, the spice in the food was spicing up my

Drive to Kings & Sequoia National park, could have been exciting had we not plucked those peaches illegally from the peach orchid.Sunil was on the drivers seat, and I was quite excited to see the peach orchard on our way to the National park.I was asking him to stop by the orchiard and let me steal some peaches. The fear was from the dogs or those electrical fencing.However, the anxiety of

Everyone was excited to see the snowfall, snowy mountains, to experience the extreme winter. We headed towards Manali, higher in altitude to Shimla. It was a mountainous bus ride from Shimla to Manali. Chilling cold, sitting in the bus, the feets went numb. We arrived in Manali early morning around 7 am, and were lucky that the hotelier allowed us to take the rooms before the check-in time.Man!!

The boy had an amazing charm in his face. I cannot guess the age of the boy, however looked to be just 10years old, or probably a little older. I was sitting on the streets of the Mall Road, Manali, with my family enjoying my vacation. Daddy started some friendly chit-chat with this boy, oops I even forgot his name now. His smartness, and the sweetness in his way of talking bewildered me. I just

The flight from SFO to Mumbai was cancelled on 23rd of Dec’08 which resulted in me travelling on the next day, 24th Dec. This had made my arrival in Delhi on the 26th of Dec, which is my birthday. Dad and Gunjan were at the airport to receive me with a bouquet of flowers, the first surprise. Now come at home, and I was received by mom and a birthday ready to be cut. The ‘happy birthday to you’

Had heard a lot about YUBA city..... vasda punjab in US. It gives a great feeling of love, pride and honour when you hear that punjabis own agricultural lands in US. "Es paraye mulk vich v Sardariya nibhaa raye ne!!".So it just happened to be on the occasion of 300th 'GurGaddi Divas' (the sacred tercentenary of the Guru Granth Sahib), that I visited Yuba City, Nagar Kirtan (Parade).

From being an onsite lead for couple of projects, bug-triager [self coined word], helping any project from any domain during critical times in rescoping, capacity analysis, requirement understanding, and even production bug fixing. Not only this, sometimes, I was even approached by the eBay domain teams for help in their projects. I have even ended up working late hours and on weekends for

Driving back from Mount Shasta to San Jose, pulled off for a break at an exit [exit 603 on I-5S], and surprisingly striked a nice conversation with an elderly couple in the Startbucks Coffee Shop. It happened that I just bought a glass of cold coffee and sat on a chair to relax. And then a man of around 55-60 years sat on the couch beside me. I was bewildered when he asked me about my Turban.

Well, well, well!!It is so tough to manage the accounts when the air is not cleared initially, when you are moving into a shared accomodation.Now, some Tom, Dick and Harry come and stay together.

There are people in this world who give their 100% to be successful in their work. They labour hard for the success. But I have come across a person who gives 200% even to help others. He goes beyond the 'call of the help' to help you out. Tries out all means to ensure that you are out of danger. He assumes your problems to be his, and tries all the best he can do to avoid your troubles. He has

Eclipse is gone!It was a sad to return the car to Avis. My fondness for it was so much, that even though only two people can sit in that car, I still preferred to keep it. I was yelled at, so many times by my colleagues and friends to change to a bigger car, but still eclipse would be with me.You can say this, because you never get to drive such a sporty car back in India. you may infact never

12 USD for 2 hours, is what we knew of the bowling game charges at the Homestead Bowling Lanes. Worth a deal, infact tooooo.. worth a deal.When N, S, K and me entered the bowling lanes, I just thought of checking for the prices, rather than going with the heard rates.Flat rate of $4.75 per game per person, and $4.25 for the shoe rental, and there is no second option - as not to rent the shoes.

The cool car is pretty hot to get in.... he he he!!!But the car gives quite a comfy drive. The engine however makes a zooooo.. noise, but then that gives the adrenaline rush.Never suited for the Indian roads. There is ample amount of back space for dumping things, though it doesn't look like.Anyways, as long as its not Indian roads, and its Eclipse, let meZoooommmmm!!!!!

The road is tough and too curvy. Lot of speed breakers and barriers. Many a times it is quite irritating to get the things straight, but the fun lies in over there.The making of AKHAR-SOH website has been a complete different experience for me. I would invite my blog readers to come and join the AKHAR community on Orkut.

Last weekend, my first trip for AKHAR, my organisation. Went with Ravinder Veerji to Manipal University (Karnatka). Invited by a bunch of students who are studying in the Manipal University. We were asked to deliver a presentation (in formal terms) to the girls and boys over there. Try and motivate them to bring them into the work we are carrying on.We stayed comfortably at the Guru ghar, the

clipped from www.economist.comMany things restrain India's economy, from a government that depends on Communist support to the caste system, power cuts and rigid labour laws. But an enduring constraint is even more awkward: a state that makes a big claim on a poor country's resources but then uses them badly.
