~~Movies I saw~~

 Last weekend I had time to catch up with two movies

1)Happy Thankyou More Please:
    The movie is about the life of six people in New york city over a week's period. A small boy gets lost in the subway and the hero who is jobless brings him to home.There is another track about a girl who doesn't want to leave New York and another about a girl who is having difficulties with her self image. Movie was little bit slow and predictable.

2)War of currents:
   This a documentary based of fight between Edison and Tesla during the end of 19th century whether to use DC or AC to transmit power. The movie shows how Tesla won the war but failed to capitalize on the profits which he could have been made.

~~Trip to Coney Island~~

  With the weather being sunny it was the right time to go to beach. Coney Island is about an hour away from my place by metro. There was mermaid parade happening in that place which is a colorful event. Since I didn't have nothing much to do I decided to go.  Train journey was really good the nearer the destination approached colorful the compartment became.

I was just on time for the parade and there were thousands of people present of either side of the road waiting for the parade to begin. So I walk around to the right place to get a proper view ,to my luck two people from the front line where leaving to meet their friend at another place and I got the perfect view. The parade had lots of people in dancing to their tunes ,lots of girls wearing colorful dresses with themes from movies or incidents. The whole event went for more than two hours and never realized how soon the time went, after that there was a parade of vintage cars but it didn't interest me much so I walked to the beach. Coney Island beach is not like the deserted TP beach where you will find to time to look into rocks, wild vegetation or people catching fishes :), it was littered with thousands of people and most of the time can be spent walking in the board walk. Finally when my legs got tired I decided to come home.

PS: Sorry guys I would have loved to take pictures but alas my camera is not working. I have attached a picture of Ariel the mermaid, many girls dressed like this today  :)

~~Book signed by author~~

  I attended a workshop today in Athletic club of New York. There were series of speeches are trainings from people from various field, a retired navy seal officer, social media ,sport personalities etc. Apart from that there was speech Lisa Brinbach who was the author of the New york best seller Preppy Handbook. She has written a sequel True Prep. Few of us got that book signed by her with a personalised message.
  For me she wrote "Never Stop Smiling"!

~~What is this?~~~

I found this in modern art section in METS!

~~A walk down museum mile~~

   Since I couldn't be in the house for more than four hours Yesterday I decided to visit one of the museums. Yesterday it was the museum mile day as all the museums in the 5th Avenue were open to public ,the whole street was blocked for traffic and there were lots of street artists performing in the street. It was fun to look those stuffs . First I decided to goto Solomon R Guggenheim museum which had few Von Gogh painting, since much of the museum was under renovation I quickly finished the rest of the exhibits.

 So to kill the rest of the time I went to METS, it is so huge that one can spend days there when I went there last time I saw the Asian section and Roman sculptures. This time I decided to see the Renaissance painting, American modern arts and Mesopotamian artifacts. It was a good time pass I was there till 9. Then I went to the local taxi dabba to have cheap and delicious Indian food and then took a long walk back home.

PS:Picture taken last time when I went there!

~~small bug major issue~~

  Its not funny when you are chased out of your own house, that too when you are asked to pack all the stuffs which you own in a matter of few days. This is what happened to us as we were asked to pack all our stuffs in the apartment as they had to do some work.
  It all started last week when our room mate found a small bug in his room, we raised a complaint to the  maintenance to spray the insecticide, our supervisor came and checked and told our apartment is affected bed bugs. He said we need to do extermination as soon as possible , so told us to pack all our stuffs ,put it in a big bag and keep outside of the room. So I started cleaning up my room after a long long time disposed most of stuffs and packed other stuffs into the bags.  Uuff I was thinking if it was in India we would have just killed the bug with our nails we wouldn't have done this packers and movers kind of thing.
  Today afternoon the exterminator guy came he told us to get out of the house and warned us not to get back inside for at least four hours.It was raining outside and I was roaming around in the streets like a homeless guy for the next four hours. Just came back into the house and have to unpack all the stuffs when I find time.
