Times Square: New York City make sure to set up Time Square a place where you will find some or the other things each and every day, I guess this to make sure that tourist are flooding up each and every day…



Today on my way to office I happen to see, some Navy Troupers practicing a routine maneuver, it was amazing to see how skillfully they were handling the rifles as if they were weather weight.


And this monster, who would not love to tame them and climb all know structures

4 days back while we were returning from office this newly married couple were making sure they have a great picture added in their ‘New Life Album’

Love is in the Air: Time Square happens to be one of the most visited place, and they make sure it happen to pull crowd every day...This is one the latest structure that has found place....

Cops and harley's: Summer is the time when Cops to display their driving skill, any one would love to a COP in New York if they have they have their own Harley's to show off... Most of the time this cops share picture with tourist... (NY Cops would be most photographed unknown celebrity  

Salt and Pepper to spic-en up: We were walking across downtown, and i happen to see this pushcart fellow selling Salt-Pepper sprinkler bottle, Its nice to see one require proper mix to Salt and Pepper to spic-en up food and life also...

Coney island... On a Sunny Weekend

2 People commented...
This was one of the nice and easy weekend we has this summer, if I consider some of our past weekend...


Saturday we all have been to Coney Island... Its located down south of Brooklyn, it takes an hour long Subway(local train of New York) ride to reach.

Weather was good, but it was a bit sunny... However we plan and how early we decide to leave, we are on time lol (common we all do not belong to military regime where we lay down time table in 24:00 hour pattern) for me when all have a small smile and are able to reach the location then that's the right time....

As it was sunny we decided to visit Aquarium, last visit that I remember of visiting a aquarium as during my school at I probably would be in 4th or 6th grade that's the time when we used to visit zoo's or park
Okay back on track, as we entered we had a 4:00pm Sea-lion show, and most of the time one would be amazed to see what this animals are capable, how caring and loving they can be at times with their trainer...
So 'Diego' made his entry in to the pool and with the first minute itself he had made sure how to attract attention of all the people irrespective of the age group.. He did some tango with his trainer 'Melissa' he showed to the audience how flexible be can be and how gracefully he can swim...

The best was when he was enacting who his predator is as its would be a easy guess the mighty 'Shark' at that time background music from 'Jaws' was played that’s when 'Diego' swim with his flap mimicking as sharks fins... Looking at that skill all the people had a loud laugh...
Later in the evening as we were walking on the beach, we had this nicely cut Mango, they were irresistible...

Visit to a beach is always fun, so we had another sunny weekend spent... Already looking forward for the next weekend..

Lincoln Tunnel: Good and bad traffic days

0 People commented...
Lincoln tunnel, that leads to New York city... It is common to see 3-4km long traffic jam during peak hours every weekday
They have separate route for Public Transit bus and other commercial or personnel vehicle which is a 3 lanes route, while for buses it has its own dedicated lane, most of the time it a bless as we are able to cover the 4km stretch in 20-30mins and on certain days all commuter have to pay a price for the liberty…

Today is one of such days...

I took the usual 8:15 bus to office as we entered bus lane after couple of minutes the smooth flow of bus fleet came to a grinding halt that when the driver announces ‘It is time for all of you to call up your offices and tell that we are stuck as a bus is broken down', and to spice it up he adds 'It is one of those genuine days when you are actually going to be late' and he laugh out loud...

People who commute via bus to office would have witness this long wait couple of times...

Almost every day when we go I see patiently car moving inches by inches and with that speed it would take close to an hour to cross the tunnel while today people who were driving by bus line are laughing as its one of those odd days when they will drive by and give bus commuters a pity look'

And the Lincoln tunnel saga continues... Finally after 35 min stop we are moving, moving and here we go...

Pictures: On the Go....

2 People commented...
I have taken thousands of pictures with my Phone, but never got a chance to share them, and I always wanted to share it, as some picture speaks themselves

Long way to go: This was taken in jersey Garden Mall, I did not see anyone walking down and did not dare to see where it leads to

Share the Road: This is in Pune City, drove well ahead and by the time I was ready (had to get rid of driving accessories before I could take a snap), the cart had crossed me that’s when I took the first shot, I had to chase him back to taken the second one.


Time to book a Trade: It fascinating to see how electronic trades has changed trading world, if you see it only took 11 seconds to book 5.7million trades, long gone those days when we saw picture of traders screaming their vocal chords


Do End meets: I love to see this view this is on 49th Street between 6th – 7th avenue, the ends definitely meets well above clouds.


The picture I capture are not something special, but the moment it is capture tell a lot about it, so I will keep posting in this space




Before I Die.... Fictional time it is...

0 People commented...
This is the first fictional novel I am reading after a long time...

And in the past whenever I have read i had read only mystery and suspense written by Dan Brown / Robin cook

Lately I have been reading Non-Fictional as I have a notion it is better to face reality and not let you live in a fictional and fancy land created by the author as I should say many of them are really amazing and gifted, because the way they create and get the character to life is just brilliant and most of the time one would be imagine as they progress they to are a bystanders an re witnessing as things are unfolding in front of them... Few would even feel they could have changed the flow or let certain thing happen in the way they want but alas author take control and drifts and takes the story in his own path...
Is it better to live in fancy little world as it gives a small get away.

Coming back to Tessa, she is teenager who fighting against Leukemia, in her own way, she do not want to die in a lonely hospital room when no one is around her, she is the girl who want to leave her life, enjoy everything for remaining days she has her own list of things that she want to do, and most things on the list as illegal that for sure is to give her a sense of achievement.
On and on it’s a nicely written by Author ‘Jenny Downham’ enjoy your reading, review of 'Before i Die'

Meanwhile let me know,
