So today we had one more “shoecide” that of actor Jitendra getting a shoe thrown during a rally. Here is one addition for the dictionary.

Today, being a day off (Good Friday), we decided to visit a tea estate half-way to Siliguri. The tea estate is called “Grasmore Tea Estate”. They have their own tea gardens as also a processing unit. We met the managers incharge of the production / processing and they took us round their facility.

I recently opened a trading account with Unicon Securities. I moved over from ShareKhan.com. At Rs. 300 per annum for an offline trading account, it is alright. I wanted an online account, but the person who assisted me in registering didn’t mention that this was an offline account - perhaps it is an oversight on my part too…lesson learnt.

Done at last! I was planning to migrate from Mambo to some other CMS / blogging platform. Joomla, Drupal and WordPress figured among the top 3. Finally I decided on WordPress, since it is more versatile and in favor of personal websites. My WordPress site runs on a GoDaddy Linux plan. The current version I am using is 2.7.

Go Goa !!!
I had just settled down in the NSG at New Delhi i.e. I had successfully completed my probation period of 56 days and passed the requisite physical tests with ease.Now we (my family and I) were ecsatic that we were going home to Goa for Diwali and more so since Alok and his wife Lily were arriving from the US too.On 12 Nov 04 (Diwali), we boarded Indian Airlines IC 865 to Goa scheduled for departure at 10:00 a.m. but was invariably delayed. This was Neil’s first air journey, not counting the time when Swarali was in her 8th month of pregnancy. Neil looked at all airplanes with wide-eyed wonder and instantly made friends especially with the chocolate serving “aunty”. Bumpy weather and air pockets would make him scamper to me saying ,”Baba, bachao; plane gir raha hai !” (help, the plane is ‘falling’). There was a halt of 45 minutes at Mumbai. Well, after a total of 3.5 hours and 6 boxes of Diwali mithai later we landed in Goa.Alok and Lily along with Baba received us at the airport. It was nice to meet them again after nearly 3 years ; we met them last during their wedding in Jan 2002.In the evening we had the Laxmi puja and later visited my in-laws in their new apartment. We also attended their house warming party on 15th.
