I've moved

Thank you for visiting, I welcome you to my new home.

Tim Russert

I'm shattered today to know that Tim Russert, of "Meet the Press" has passed away. I'm just shocked.

Tim : You taught me American Politics! You were the shine of political journalism.

Every Sunday, it was a ritual for me to watch 'Meet the Press'. I'd get up on time, to make sure that I watch from the beginning to the end. I have rearranged my schedules, to not miss your program.

Your superb professional attitude to handle your guest ( Prime Ministers, Presidents, Politicians alike ) was and will always remain, 'unique', grilling them through the toughest of toughest topics.

It reflected your hard work, sincere study of the subject, thorough analysis and impartial approach to get the information behind all the fog.

Except for the time, I was physically away on Sundays, I've watched you every single Sunday. If I did miss, it has always been one of those lingering thought for me, to get the podcast asap and get to watch it or listen to it. It was because of you and your work.

While I'm not at all surprised that this evening, every single radio and tv channel featuring politicians and every single individual he touched - are stunned at you leaving us, it just has raised so much uncertainty in the media at the lack of direction to 'information' and mainly the 'lack of truth' that your loss has forced upon us.

Personally, I'm just stunned at the inevitability and fragile nature of 'life'. I really wished to follow your programs through out this political year and much beyond.

I'm deeply saddened at your loss and for sure Sunday mornings are 'never' going to be the same for me, as others.

As you'd finish your program 'if its Sunday, its Meet the Press', I'll miss you for sure, every Sunday Tim.

May god bless you Tim, rest in piece.

Marching on...

Didn't get much time to spend on this, but in the little I had - changed the plan quiet a bit and here I'm...

Back again, with 1000 tiles !

Long time, no see... Took a while to write, but well have been thinking about it all the time. Finally pushed myself to write this.

Inspired by a friend, bought a Jigsaw puzzle - Thomas Kinkade's "Christmas Cottage", a 1000 piece puzzle!

Day #1
Took time today, to place them on board(s). Have some ideas to get the image, lets see...

Plan to document this effort also, a naive to get back to blogging :)

May the force be with me!

Its been very busy lately. But break between jobs is always good. With a new job about to push me and my time lines, it was really good to have a break from the daily grind.

What better place, there could've been than Niagara Falls !!!!!

While the flight travel ( with layover's ) and the time-change between PST and EST was tuff, the mere thought of having spent 2 full days erases all that little suffering.

Niagara Falls is a marvel of mother nature and it was one of the best places I've ever been.

The stay in Buffalo, NY and the frequent commute to the falls was great. Living in the Bay area, Buffalo, NY to me, was a small and lonely city. Much smaller was the city of Niagara Falls, NY.

'Maid of the mist', 'Cave of the winds' and the view of the abundant water in Niagara River, even now makes me feel fresh.

I wished I had more time and immigration approvals to travel to Canada and view the falls from that side as well, but I'll wait :) If you've not been to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend it. Its a must see.

We came with beautiful and unforgettable memories. Even the very few captured turned out to be 515 photos in number.

It was truly a dream come true, having amazed reading about it, seeing glimpses of it. Being there with my wife and parents was a god bless.

Now that my batteries are charged I'm excited to face the new job, environment, people et al.,

May the force be with me, god!
