~~Is it a good deal~~

   I take a class regarding the global finance this semester. I really like the professor of this course who was a wall street banker for more than two decades and after making money has came to academia the job he likes to do. We have to do a presentation next week so we went and talked with him. He was having a busy day as people from all major wall street banks had a meeting with him regarding an equity issue.

As we were hearing his story open mouthed he told I will make a deal with you and said "I will give all the money I have earned but in return you have to give me your age" No one in the group accepted it and he said  with the present opportunities we could make more money than he would have done in the next 20 years.

~~Pic for the day~~

Liked this cartoon very much!

~~green jam~~

  Since I came back only on Monday evening I have 4 more days to get my cooks food, so until then I had to manage with whatever I can cook in my busy schedule. So I went shop to stock few stuffs for the week. For bread I thought I would get jam and I saw this colorful jam bottle. It was mint jam so I thought I will give it a try.

Today morning I toasted the bread and buttered it along with this jam. It tasted like சுண்ணாம்பு. So thinking of what to with the rest of the stuff.

~~In college- for Japan~~

  With the Tsunami disaster in Japan turning worse than expected we decided to raise funding in the college for the victims. With hand full of Japanese students in the college taking over the initiative.

Though I could give only few dollars they gladly accepted it, I got the above band and wore it all day.

~~Back to NYC~~

   Most of the times when the vacation ends going back to the usual routine would be boring but for me returning back to NYC removes my handicaps and makes me more excited. My mama booked the return trip from Charlotte by plane so that I can avoid the 12 hr bus journey. Since I knew mama would do that I had taken the required docs for the flight journey.

The journey was kind of eventful,since the airport was not much crowded the security was checking and every bags,since my bag contained only my அழுக்குமூட்டை துணி they got disappointed.When I reached the boarding area there was an announcement since there was a traffic jam in NYC the flight will be delayed by 30 mins. Traffic jam in NYC is common but this one was air traffic jam. So after 30 minutes I boarded the plane and as soon as it took off I sincerely started studying. After 30 minutes minutes the plane started shaking and pilot announced it was due to turbulence and till NYC the weather will be like that and this was another reason why there is a traffic jam in the airport. The rest of the journey was like going in an Indian auto. View of Manhattan while landing would be one I always look forward but today what i could see only clouds hiding all the skyscrapers and I could see the ground until the flight was just few seconds before landing.

In NYC I m on my own  I dont need to look for anybody to pick me up as the public transport system here is really good, I caught the bus and reached home. 

~~Equinox (samaraathri) day~~

From my dad

    Today Mar 21, 2011, is the Equinox day. Skywatchers and space enthusiasts will take measurements of the shortest shadow at noon, and also calculate the latitude of the place.  The word ‘equinox' is derived from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night). It means equal day and night. 

          However, in reality, the day is longer than the night at an equinox. This is because the sun is not a single point of light, but appears to be a disc. So when the centre of the sun is still below the horizon, the upper limb already emits light, he said. Furthermore, the atmosphere refracts light downwards, so even when the upper limb is still below the horizon, its rays already reach around the horizon to the ground. These effects together make the day about 14 minutes longer than the night at the equator, and more towards the poles. 

~~walk for the day~~

  After days of eating delicious food I decided it was time to burn what ever I ate ,so after having brunch we went out mall browsed few things and from there we went a place called boardwalk. There was a pond like thing in the middle with 2 mile walk way around it. With the weather being bright and sunny it took an hour to complete the walk. From there we went to an Indian chaat shop had  hot samosas and chum chum. Evening Vishnu wanted me to come and see his soccer training in the nearby park . After seeing the kids doing everything apart from kicking the ball for few minutes I decided to take a walk in the park which had its wonderful walkway.  It is fun to take a walk in the park where we can do free people watching.

So walked  2 hours today more than what I do in NYC.
