26/7…..Havoc in Mumbai…..Floods, offices closed, people stuck in various places!! I was on a week leave that week & my love Sonu was in office! Even she was stuck up in our TKP office from Monday!! In all this chaos, none of us ever thought that same weekend, 3 of us in NA Accounting Team, I, Chirag & Pracheer will be flying off to Delaware for managing the business contingency situation. That Friday I was returning home after watching “Sarkar” starring Amitanh Bacchan. On my way back in auto, I got a call from Pracheer & Chirag saying that they have my forex as well as air tickets which they will hand over to me at the airport. I was stunned at the speed at which all these things took place!! On phone, my friends also ... read more

Yes...Konkan aaplach asa, but it took me 27 long years to visit this beautiful place!But better late than never & whats better than going there with your better half!Weeks long planning of both of us was materialised in 3rd week of June this year in 2007, as we got our leaves & travel tickets confirmed. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Sonu to take a leave for lack of cross cover especially after she returned back from US with new migrations.But at last she worked out somethings & we were on our way.Saturday morning 7.10 am Konkan Kanya Train to borad from Dadar.We have reached home very late on Friday night almost by 1.30 am.Which means that we will have only couple of hours of rest before we leave our home.Thanx to our packing which was ... read more

picnics are arranged best when u r least expecting them!!iam sure u will share my opinion here.This weekend when we have planned nothing at all except to take rest,had some really nice time going to Niagara of Pensylvania-The Bushkill Falls. No one anticipated that we r going to have a one day tour to one of the most famous scanic attraction of area,in as less as usd 34.Thsi is nothing especially when i tell u how much i have spent on each of my last weekends..not less than 200 bucks every time.This 34 bucks includes our car rentals,food,gas and park admission cost.Unbelievable,isnt it?It was to me when Profet(real name Prarhit)send us a mail giving details of cost. It was decided suddenly at the party that we had by the poolside in our apts the previous nitei.e ... read more

A pleasen ride, a relaxing hotel, a maginificient site seeing !!!what else do you need on your vacation with your spouse?This is exactly what we enjoyed during our 2 days vacation to the wonderful Mahabaleshwar in the 2nd week of November 2005..a week after Diwali. This all began in 1st week of November,when I thought of taking a break and go on vacation.This was indeed very well needed to get away from our routine & get refreshed.This was facilitated by our holoday planning in Office. We finalised our leaves on Monday for rest of 2005 and then I communicated this to Sonu. Sonu also quickly set her dates and there we are...earning a full week of vacation.It was first time since Sonu joined JP Morgan that we both were going on leave together.This is something which ... read more

New Jersey-Newyork-Boston-Syracaus-Buffelo-Niagara Falls and Times Square...Doesnt it sound like a perfect weekend full of fun and Excitement? It surely does! And that’s what I had this weekend. The last Weekend of the tour could not have been better than this! Especially when we had our plans revised several times in last two days? But ultimately it Worked out and worked the the best! It was not long back that I was thinking of not going to Niagara as there was hardly anybody willing to Join me, especially b'use it’s going to cost us dear and second it’s around 600 Miles away from our place. It takes 10 hours to reach there! I was running Short on cash so even I was skeptical for a moment. But yehan Jana hi tha!! I wud thank Profet immensely for ... read more

awasome...historic..beautiful..clean..wonderful...monumental...structured..am i running short of adjectives??yes,iam running short of it to describe how amazing Washington DC is!!DC as it is called here is the destination where i spent my last weekend.ie 4th in July,2004.And it was worth all the cost and efforts that we put in to be there. Washington DC i.e district of columbia is the capital city of usa.and fortunately just 2 hours drive from our apts.However it took us little longer to reach there as we took Grey Hound Bus service from Wilmington to DC.It has a stopover at Baltimore.And though it was long journey i feel it was good b'use we were able toget a outside view of Baltimore,a major port on eastern coast of USA.The start was rather in a hurry as we get up half asleep from a previous day ... read more

As first step, before we start we will be given training on Investment banking at exclusive classroom training in Trinity Towers office of that MNC in central London. We have been put up in the luxurious Thistle Towers Hotel in Central London for a period of week.

I will see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Lords Cricket Ground, Harrods, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul Cathedral and the famous Wimbledon!!
