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

Delaware's capitol was a bit strange. For one thing, they called it Legislative Hall, and it seemed a lot smaller than many we've seen.

The building also has unusual architecture, which makes it look distinct from the typical American capitol design. Instead of a large dome and all marble construction, Delaware has basically no marble, and a smallish cupola atop their ... read more

so i packed 99.9% of my pack, the only things left out are the essentials - passport, ticket to zambia (which i won't need until sept 5, how many bets on me losing it before then?), camera and a few toiletries so i don't look too special coming off the plane in dublin. and the best part - my pack weighs in at 23.5 lbs. so i am cheating a bit - i don't have full water bottles yet and of course no food (i've heard that it's not too hard to come by in europe) but i'm pysched that even with my tent and sleeping bag, it's still less than 25 lbs. hard to imagine that i'll be living out of that for the next 8 months or so. good thing i don't have super-high ... read more
