One penguin asks other penguin to apply soap on his back.
In reply, second penguin says – "Am I a typewriter"?
- the latest PJ (poor joke) from Nits (Nitesh Gupta). Of course it didn’t make any sense at all but we laughed well!
He cracks unimaginable PJs and when you realize the NoLogic behind them, you find yourself unable to control your laugh. Also he is quite a media lover like me. We match in lot of subject areas but not the present one
.
Sometimes I love him for this too as he said on other time -
The day when Tech Savvy (as I am called here) lifts his laptop, he doesn’t lift his hand on anyone
!!
Also he is a good critic especially when it comes to Cricket. I still remember how he washed Australian team and the Umpires just in his comments after India lost the test.
About being tech savvy, hmm, save 2-3 critical situations like when you are going to loose all your photograph of trip which have been deleted accidentally (and they can be brought back from nowhere), you know you will be recognized quite well
Unfortunately, Nits is leaving back for India on next weekend
. We will be missing you buddy. Cannot forget how well you organized and executed the LA trip. It has been wonderful time with you Boy going to become a Man in few days

It was good experience of watching a Hindi Movie here in US. First movie that we have watched here is Khoya Khoya Chand at Indian Movie Center on this Sunday. The theatre gives you feel of our desi cinemas at the cost of foreign money.It is a movie about the Golden Era of Indian Cinema which rotated around the 70 and early 80s. Movies goes fine and you enjoy it in its first half which raises expectations but second half becomes too slow to bear with. And there were few beautiful dialogues which we enjoyed like Apne waqt se aage nikalna aasan hai par uska saamna karna…bohot mushkil. Overall this movie was average with mix of fun for Amit, Nits and Tapan too. Then a visit to Fry’s with Amit where we had to do some shopping of electronic goods.
On Saturday, it was great and costliest shopping at The Great Mall…sometimes you find yourself irresistible for the things you can’t avoid. And that commenced the weekend with Sunday night discussion over the movie!! Nits still feels that there were lot of questions left open by director Shantanu Moitra. The acting of Soha Ali Khan was good.
Weekdays are all same but something surprising has been happening everyday with us since we both have landed on this land and so am I expecting today!!
Rating: 6/10

Presently I am residing here in US of A as Hema called it out! I am here for official trip from my firm and had reached here on December 4. Right now staying somewhere in San Jose and working at nearby location in Sunnyvale. Lucky to have company of two mates here – Amit Gupta and Nitesh Gupta (Nits). We all are colleagues. Nits is here since Nov and I have reached here with Amit. We go to office together, almost staying together and cooking together too. I am liking this place because of its beautiful infra and VTS service. Moreover there are lot of people from other races here as they say that more than 40% people are Indians in this city and it is also known as Gandhi Nagar. It feels like mini India. People are quite friendly and one can easily get hooked up with the ones of their interest. I had my tryst with locals and I am feeling good being here after meeting with them.
Whole week I was busy in settling down at office and at the apartments. Things were so messed up at both places. For first time, I realized that even a girl can mess up an apartment too much to clean up properly. Eh.
This was the first weekend and went out to Mccarthy Ranch. There first went to Best Buy and looked at the electronics goods primarily. But I found that all those which I wanted were more cheaper when purchased online than from store provided you know where to look out over Internet. Then it was Wallmart to get other stuff for living. Interestingly I happened to meet and talk with 2 Indian guys (Harsh and Sri) at Best Buy and one at Wallmart (Srinivas) which was surprising for me provided my nature of… At the end of day, we had something going inside our stomachs (I am not able to recall the name of outlet) but I must say, it is very hard for a veggie to survive on fast-food here specially when you get to eat ultra-cold burgers and that too, not much tasty
. India is much better in that way. Also, here McDonald’s doesn’t serve any vegetable items…huh. Also bus service is till 0830 only on weekend. So you better get into last bus otherwise you will be left thinking of almost no other alternative.
Weather here is quite cold and you can’t be out from home without any jacket even when it is a sunny day. And purchase of a jacket was the costliest part of my shopping
. I chose Raiders to save myself from deadly cold outside. It was quite expensive shopping for me out of we 3 at the end of day but I had something to feel good for sleeping soundly. Nits is still busy with issues
…poor guy. I don’t know when will he get to sleep.
