09:00AM Settling hotel bill, everything packed just waiting for the cab
10:00AM Cab arrives, leaving hotel, sleeping on the way, it was raining.. cool
11:10AM Reached airport, checked in luggage
11:30AM Picked club grilled chicken burger and waiting in the gate
02:40PM Boarding announcement comes for 3:05 flight, they were boarding elders and passengers with kids. So couple of old women were taken inside in wheel chairs
02:45PM The two old women is came back and the announcement came, "due to weather we will leave by 4:30", every one murmurs and back to their seat
04:30PM No signs of boarding announcement, but the old women are taken again...only to come back in couple of minutes
04:35PM comes the announcement that we will leave only by 7:00PM... now passengers with connecting flights are asked to rebook their tickets for tomorrow as they will not be able   to make it to the connecting flights.
05:00PM Got my tickets booked for 26th, but was wondering, if due to weather condition if this flight is delayed the other flight to bombay should also be delayed??
07:00PM Announcement comes that the flight will leave only by 8:00PM.
07:30PM Another club grilled chicken...
08:00PM We are leaving by 10:15PM
09:45PM Magaaa flight is cancelled.......

Wondering what to do now.. the airport will get closed in couple of hours and the airlines doesn't provide any accommodation. Imm started calling the hotels one by one, every where I hear, we are sold out...after 45 minutes of try... decided that I'm not going to get any hotel... Then called some friend in Greensburg thats about 1 hour drive. He said ok come down. then picked a taxi to Greensburg. One the way the cab driver told me that some football match is going on so all the hotels are expected to full.. I was wondering how come even the low grade motels are full.... My calculation was if I have to go to greensburg, I would have to spend about 150$ and returning 150$, instead I will stay in a good hotel here. But nothing nothing was available.

Well spent the money on the taxi was good, I could get good sleep... else would have stranded outside the airport...

US youth accused of killing Indian techie gets life

Don't protest when they ask for anything at gun point, often they are not in their sense/on drugs, after all they will just get a life term, the victim would have lost their life right there. There is no point fighting them to lose our life. Often they aren't civilized to expect a civilized behavior, they just coexist with us. Ripping of the earlobe, what kind of pain that guy would have gone through, before fighting for his life? Never ever our Gods will come to rescue us..........

This came in a email forward!

"A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a
human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very
small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human;
it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.
The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'
The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they
were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's
work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what
the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied,
'They will in a minute.'

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes
at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several
strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your
hairs white,"

On a rainy lazy Saturday evening, called the Dominoz pizza and ordered for couple of veg special pizzas. The order taking guy asked me where I'm living. When I said I'm living in Warje, he said that there is no time guarantee. Fine take my order. After an hour the pizza didnt reach me, got annoyed and called them again, a lady picked and said sir the delivery guy should be reaching you any moment. Its hardly 15 minutes from Kothrud to Warje, still these guys take their time! Well after 1 hour 15 minutes the delivery guy came and when I gave him the sodexho passes, he said we dont take these anymore! What the heck? Whats wrong with these? Then I paid cash. So Dominoz doesnt take sodexho!

In general my experience with Dominoz was never good. They were always shrewd, the treated the customers with I'm the boss attitude. Not because they didnt take the passes, I had been to five different outlets of Dominoz, four in Bangalore and one in Baner, Pune. The attitude of the crew was invariant. May be there are trained to be so?

Warje, Pune area is served only by Dominoz and Smoking Joes. I called the Joes couple of times and tried different chicken toppings couple of times. The chicken is yuck, they are not the tender ones to chew. Then they dont have chicken wings in their menu! Until pizza hut or us pizza serves this area...........

BBC NEWS | Technology | Apple announces cheaper 3G iPhone

I get tempted to buy this, even though its not readily available in India. Get it from a friend some one who is returning back.... probably there are not much service providers to fully use the potential of a iPhone in India. The 3G services is something yet to be started.  The iPhone would be just as good as a stone in my pocket!
