If given a choice
If given a choice to become a Superman or a Software Architect,
I would choose to be a s/w architect.
If no choice given, I will still become a s/w architect.

Way to go
Sky, wide and high
Trees, lined up like soldiers
Road, a solid river
Nature inspires me to move on.

Evil dead
My friend Bindu forced me to watch Evil dead with him tonight. I tried to ignore but he was so adamant to see this horror movie. He is not much strong but still he wants to try once. I agreed at last and we were in theatre at 7.30. I started to hate the bgm and movie right from the beginning. After a while I couldn’t sustain so I bugged my friend to go out, while he begged me not to leave him alone as he is scared as hell too. I ran out to the rest room and took a break. When I’m done, I pinged Bindu that I can’t come in.
Finally, I behaved like a man and decide d to go back for my friend. I was ok and felt quite confident until the next horror scene showed up. I felt insecure again so dropped a message to my other group of friends.
I wished that all the characters in the movie die soon. When it’s over, we had dinner and he dropped me. I’m home now, on my bed, blogging from my phone with the tv and lights turned on.
I wish I had a girlfriend to spend sometime now. Huh, let me call my mom and get some positive vibes.
Ohio Caverns
The trip to Ohio Caverns was nice and simple. The place is not much crowded so I enjoyed my time inside the cave with the crystal stones hanging around me.
I don’t know what this exactly is…May be a Gemstone maker ? 
Entrance to the cave. The treasure is hidden behind the door.
Hanging crystals.
This crystal in the picture below has a history. It’s name was Goodluck Crystal and people were allowed to touch for good luck. In a year the stone turned in to brown due to stain, so they prohibited to touch and renamed it as the Dirty Stone.
Goodluck crystal then, Dirty crystal now.
I couldn’t open my eyes for a while after coming out of the cave.
PS: The crystals doesn’t look crystal clear because it was shot using my phone camera in low light.
The missing hour
Sundays are great. I feel awesome and pressure less on every weekend morning but today was different. I got up, saw the clock and felt so satisfied that I slept till 9.
I checked mails, pending notifications on Facebook and when I noticed the time on iPad and phone, I was shocked :s. It is an hour ahead of my wall clock.
I lost my precious time. Where did an hour go? When I asked my pal google, this is what she said…
Huh! Daylight Savings!
Why do people play with the Time ? Why did they choose a Sunday morning though ?
I would recommend a Daylight Savings shift on a boring monday afternoon. 
King Charlie
My friend Bindu wanted to adopt a dog. He decided to buy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel from a breeder 25 miles away from his home. A couple of fat white kittens and loud barking of dogs heard from backyard welcomed us. The breeder showed two sibling puppies to my friend. I was staring at little turtles swimming inside the aquarium and did not show any interest on dogs, I just love them when they are far from me 
. We came home with a puppy and named it as Charlie but I call it as King Charlie.
It’s so playful. Our weekend was busy and nice with Charlie but on weekdays at office, it was so hard for my friend to leave the little Charlie at home. We visited home during lunch to spend some time. Bindu was so occupied and couldn’t concentrate on work so he decided to return it back to the breeder.
Yeah, that was sad but he had no choice. We returned and it’s good that Charlie’s brother was still at the breeder’s house. King Charlie showed a sad face 
A guy drove for long and bought a cute puppy
He named it as Charlie and treated so lovely
Took money from his pouch and bought toys, crate and couch.
-
With the little pup’s play, his blues flew away
The sun went down and they slept on their own
The dog came closer when the night became darker
When it heard a loud thunder, it curled on his shoulder.
-
He went to office so had to leave the dog unnoticed
He felt hard at work and missed him so much
He couldn’t take care, so return it back to the breeder.

I have created a video of Charlie with my friend Bindu.

Happy New Year. 2012 was great with ups and downs. I have also found few wonderful blogs and bloggers last year. Thanks and new year wishes to you all.
Hi
Ok, its resolution time now…
I haven’t taken or followed any resolution so far. Still let me list down my plans.
1. Save money:
I had spent a lot last year for electronics and stuffs so It’s time to save some money. I have to start from zero .
2. Travel:
This is about spending the money whatever I have saved . Does resolution 1 and 2 contradicts each other?
I just want to explore the US by traveling as much as possible before my visa expires.
I hope to save and travel a lot this year.
Wish me good luck!
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,900 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that many views.
Snowfall
It was showering white flakes all over the place. In my previous post, I wrote that I haven’t witnessed snowfall yet, but it happened the very next day. I have seen this only on movies where kids play with the snow during christmas.
Hmm, When it snows and you feel awesome, it is called snowesome
I have heard that it’s just a mild one and I can expect a heavy snow next month
Hello World,
