Our Fast food!

Image
When I came to the U.S the first thing I missed was my mother and the second thing was the tasty, delicious and mouth watering food. I could not over come the emptiness of my mother’s presence and I guess will never be able to. I don’t even try to overcome because I know all my effort will be in vain. Her warmth, her friendliness and caring nature is so deep inside me that some times my heart just cries out “I need my mother”. The second thing is food which I am trying my best to get as better as I can make it or have it. Some of the typical Indian Food items, specially those street foods keep roaming in my thoughts not only when I am awake but also in my dreams. When I wake up I find myself drooling on the pillow. And the misery is ,I never get to eat them even in my dreams. This is one sad story hha---! I love Indian junk food items like Samosa,jalebee,pani-puree,rasgulla,gulabjamun, (mmmm----).It is not that I do not like American fast food or junk food items, I love them too,...

I am Confused!

There are very few people who like e-mails more than snail mails, very few people who like telephonic conversation more than face –to-face communication, and very few people who want to live in imaginary world rather than reality and finally very few people would like to be detached from any relationship rather than getting into lively relationships. Of course there are exceptions to every thing. When you are desperate for some one’s love right away, you would rather click a button and get some love notes form your loved one like an e-mail, rather than waiting for the snail mail. When you are very far from your loved one to chit chat, you would prefer hearing his/her sweet voice on phone. Or some one you dislike, you would rather deal with him/her on phone than being face to face. In the same way even though imaginary world is often beautiful, but it is better to live in real world. But then there is problem with every thing. Some times I get confused that which is better e-m...

The women behind !

There is always a different kind of personality hidden in every person, whether he/she realize it or not, accept it or not, but there certainly is. Some time this difference is due to physical capability, due to emotional conditions, or due to certain circumstances. I have realized that, here are similar kinds of differences in men and women both, whether people accept it or not, and I some time wonder that how would this world look, or this world be, if man and woman be similar in their individual characteristic , their habbit, their emotional feelings, their capabilities, and every such quality which is specific either for a man or a woman. There are some basic traits in every human. But adding only one more traits to a particular human makes it either a man or a woman. That quality is so powerful which makes a person behave, or look, either like a woman or a man. So I feel like there is only one trait missing in a man or a woman.I guess that trait is womanhood,mother hood ...

Long unhealthy life or Quick death!

One of our friends father had a heart attack last week in India . We went to his house just to cheer him up a little. As we were talking about the medical facilities and natural health conditions, the truth dawned upon me so spontaneous that it has changed my complete process of thinking. He said that even though his father’s life is saved who is around 70 years old, but his day today activities will completely change now .He can no more do any minor strenuous activity and will have to live a limited life style in retrospect. He seemed very unhappy about that. Countries like U.S.A. , Japan , and Canada have become so advanced in medical treatments and research that average Life span has gone up tremendously. In one sense it is good, that you feel fortunate to live with your loved ones for a long time, but if you look at the other side, life is becoming more and more miserable. It is in fact true. The diseases which are curable and do not limit your daily activity to certain ext...

Check this Out !

I am not sure whether it is true or false,still I want every one to know about it. A team of organized criminals are installing equipment on legitimate bank ATM's in at least 2 regions to steal both the ATM card number and the PIN. The team sits nearby in a car receiving the information transmitted wireless over weekends and evenings from equipment they install on the front of the ATM (see photos). If you see an attachment like this, do not use the ATM and report it immediately to the bank using the phone on the front of the ATM. The equipment used to capture your ATM card number and PIN are cleverly disguised to look like normal ATM equipment. A "skimmer" is mounted to the front of the normal ATM card slot that reads the ATM card number and transmits it to the criminals sitting in a nearby car. At the same time, a wireless camera is disguised to look like a leaflet holder and is mounted in a position to view ATM PIN entries. The thieves copy the cards and use the PIN nu...

Phone Service on Automated machine and Hold!

How many of you have had the experience of being on hold on phone for a long irritating time period? I have come across this problem many times, but I would not call them a problem as I never had this kind of experience before. I wanted to share my experience with phone on hold, as I suppose every one must have faced this some time, perhaps the experience might have been more irritating than mine. Yesterday I wanted to get an appointment at the doctor’s office. So first I called the insurance company for the approbation if the doctor is “in Network”. I got thorough an automated machine, and a series of question started to throw on me. In the beginning I was fine, thinking that O.K .one more, and one more and I will get through this. But it never ended. I asked my self to be calm and composed for a while and bear with the situation, but apparently after 15 minutes of questionnaire session my anger started to exacerbate. My tolerance became worse when after the last question I was kept o...
