~~chequed~~

There are few basic things people in US didn't inform me earlier and had to be learnt only after experience. When I got my bank statement today I was surprised to see that I was charged with a $34 dollar over draft fine. I remembered I wrote a cheque last week for my friend and I had enough money in the account to cover the same.

I came to know that cheque debit the money from the current account and not the savings account.In my case I had all my money in the savings account and when they tried to debit money from current account they found there was nothing in there and charged me a penalty.Generally in India its with the savings account we make transaction and current account will rarely be used.

But in US with interest rate in few pennies I don't find any reason to store why they need some thing called a savings account.

~~Mobile Problem~~

My mobile started to give problems again :( this time though phone functionality is working but it is not reading from the memory card. Making my life difficult since I use my mobile more to listen songs and take photos rather than to talk.

Given it for service and since the guarantee period is gone dont know how much its gonna cost me!

~~Indian public holidays- 2010 :(((~~

Time to change the country ;)

~~Only Indian cricket team can do it~~

I watched the final overs of 10 overs of India-Australia match. India did it again.No other team can lose a match from a winning position like India. They were too near yet too far.Losing by 4 runs in first match now by 3 runs hurts a little.But I never thought chasing 350 they would end up scroing 347.



It was a wonderful innings by Sachin, once again proving his class blasting all over the park bringing back the memories of the 98 Sharjah series.175 runs scoring more than half of the team's score is a treat to every body's eye.Even though his century was for a losing cause spectators had their money's worth.

~~What two hour rain can do in Chennai?~~

Today morning when I left home weather was pleasant and there were signs that it had rained previous night. Sure its relief from the prolonged summer! The rain continued for sometime in the morning and around an hour in evening.Cant say it poured but decent enough to call it a rain.

I used to wonder why rain God doesn't shower Her blessings in this city,I got the answer the very evening when I found all the roads in the city were flooded with rain water.In fact rain God is showing mercy by limiting Her blessing and not pouring it.

It took miserably long time to reach home, One should see the bus drivers who were driving the bus like they were driving hovercraft.Pity the people who come by two wheelers if they get drenched by rain on one hand ,they would get splashed around by the dirty when buses and cars zoom past them.

With enough of job opportunities in the industries,city has found solution to brain drain but rain drain is not happening still.We need to find ways to drain rain water not to the sea but back to the ground.
