This morning I was checking my facebook and suddenly opened my blog and started scribbling...
My mind started penning down the life past 1 year and more...
The shuttle bus driver gave out the notice that the bus service will be stopped and I ended up making a decision to buy a car.. and I was thinking and thinking about which car to buy and what price and how much I can afford
Finally the task was over..and no more bus and train travel... And I started searching for growing indoor plants and I bought two plants (Chinese evergreen and another plant whose name I forgot)..Everyday watering made them look beautiful..
Few months later I started searching for a violin teacher and resumed my violin class and continued class for 4 months and then gave break because of financial pressure...With this teacher, I understood that it takes a lot of practise sessions to become a perfect violinst...
The winter came and I had to go through the trouble of cleaning the snow on the roads infront of my house and I saw everyone does it here..The heavy snowfall also obstructed my office travels some of the days
Meanwhile there was a constant search for the better half and finally decided to meet her at her house with my parents and I met her and several months later got engaged and since then my mind thinks about added responsibilities and day in and day out, the calculation on financial management is on the mind..
There was a road trip to New jersey on my car to meet and collect the eatable things sent by my sister and it was my first longest road trip all alone since I came to Newyork
The two things that happened here in summer recalled my memory of the experience with earth quake in my office and everyone standing on the road looking at the buildings until the announcement of "safe to enter the office" and then with hurricane and the cities preparation and warning and my roadtrip to West Virginia and the announcement of the president Obama "safe to enter New york"
The latest trip to Rochester to meet my brother and then the visit to Niagara falls and all came to my mind...
Now, it seems a lot of things happened really quick

Next
Few week back, Solar Impulse demonstrated more than 24 hours of flight using solar power
Last year, a real fighter aircraft (X47B) completed initial flight tests while operated completely unmanned and now there is a real helicopter which has completed its initial successful flight tests with unmanned technology.
Next generation aircrafts are going to be unmanned systems, solar power, airships...

Will you cross the skies for me ?
Nice lyrics translated from tamil...
Why did you break my heart into fragments....
that I am not able to fix them together..

The Airshow
Yesterday, I went to see an airshow at Jones beach memorial day. It was amazing. This is the first airshow in US for me. It is also the first time I went to beach.
I had seen airshows in India four years back. This show also reminded me those days. It was lovely to watch the aircrafts demonstrating their capabilities.
I was surprised to hear one of the pilot had 25,000 hours of flying. Infact, he started flying at the age of 13. It is in advanced nation that things are attempted much earlier.
Another surprise added to me was a lady pilot performing aerobatic show with loops and flying near highstall regimes.
I could not even think that they were able to do all those aerobatics on sea. Flying over sea is much difficult than flying over land. I saw so many aircrafts doing formation so closely flying to each other. I could not even believe my eyes.
I wish I get my PPL sooner and fly my own aircraft sooner. This has been a long time dream.

A thought about my life and america
My life starts here at 5:30AM before sunrise. I get up and take shower and get ready to walk towards the LIRR station which is 25 minute walk from my house. I catch the 6:20AM train to Farmingdale and then I wait for 5 min for the next shuttle-bus. The bus starts at 7:10AM and I reach my office around 7:45AM.
The whole day goes on with preparation of simulation, fixing the leaks, catching the queue in the cluster...
Leave the office at 5pm and walk to the bus stop and wait for the shuttle and take a drop at the last stop which is the LIRR station at Farmingdale. Then the train comes on time and then I reach Hicksville and walk to home and I see the clock it is 730PM. Preparation of dinner and then sleeping and there was no time for movie and no time for TV and nothing was there in life..
During winter, the snowy roads are scary to walk... Thermal wear, and Jeans and Shirt and a jacket and a glove pair and a winter cap are the essentials of everyday. The train delay and cancellation, the powershutdown due to heavy snow fall are the weekly events..
America as I see...
In America, I feel...everything is tested to the extent that it can be. Be it playing capability, reading habits, health, love, money, power, age, sex, technologies like computer, aircraft, ship, boat, space shuttle. I also notice that children in US are much cleverer than other few countries that I knew. Perhaps, this is because they are taught the basics at much younger age and are given exposure to real life much earlier. Once I myself had to teach the students from 5th standard of some school near Arlington, Texas about the wind tunnel experiments, aircrafts capabilities. The experience with those students surprised me a lot.
In advanced countries, everything happens faster. On an average, people travel at 50mph overall and thereby reduce the time considerably in locomotion and which is used for other better capabilities.
In companies, tasks happen in a properly defined way. They are assigned and defined clearly and they are documented promptly.
Fuel, food prices have been constant with very little fluctuation for past 3 years unlike other countries where the prices of essential commodities keep rising.
There is a lot of love for the animals and severe punishment awaits the ones who endanger the life of the same.

Birthday
Another year passed again
as a lonely person
Again my heart and mind started thinking that
this year must be a good one
and I must get a girl who will love me sincerely
I wish she will care for everything I need
all the things I like
and meet my needs
Prayed God to keep me in top position always
so that I can plan to do more good things to people
And help the needy
as a lonely person
Again my heart and mind started thinking that
this year must be a good one
and I must get a girl who will love me sincerely
I wish she will care for everything I need
all the things I like
and meet my needs
Prayed God to keep me in top position always
so that I can plan to do more good things to people
And help the needy
Impressive lines
The song that I heard on V channel often when I was living in Bangalore
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
It's always times like these
