A truly “grilling” week!

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

It started off on Friday evening, the previous weekend, when the idea of having a barbecue by the lakes came creeping into our minds, while idling away to glory at the cafe nearby. And it did not take us long before we bought the grill, the food and a sack full of charcoal in preparation [...]

Gone are the days!

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

Back in 1994, the French Open finals between Sergi Bruguera and Jim Courier, I remember frantically trying to tune into Doordarshan Metro, to watch the finals.

Motorcycle Diaries and a rain-filled weekend

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

Yet another bus journey over the weekend and I finally managed to complete book – Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto “Che” Guevara. It really took a long time, with 2 weeks being quite long for a small book such as this. It was partly due to the fact that beginning of the book seemed shallow to [...]

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

Flew to Pittsburgh, had dinner and came back while waiting for my flight to Syracuse!

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

One of my friends in Bangalore joked once, “Why not fly to Delhi, have a coffee and fly back”! Back then, it was more of insanity than reality and I never expected that such a thing would come true even “unintentionally”. It happened yesterday, while I was waiting for my flight back to Syracuse from [...]

In search of a home in Philadelphia!

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

The last one week, was completely dedicated to finding a house in Philadelphia to where I plan to move, in the end of June. With buying a car being almost next to impossible in the beginning two months due to my license status and the change in states, I consoled myself by thinking about the [...]

Breakfast with Regis and Kelly

Posted by GhostRider  Published in Uncategorized

I have often talked about history repeating itself in this blog. And it happened again today! I was sitting at the breakfast table in the hotel where I’m put up now, in Philadelphia watching “Live with Regis and Kelly” and I realized that 3 years back, I did the same thing at the same chain [...]
