~~Fault Line~~

  When there was minor earthquake few months back , there were reports that there is a fault line in Manhattan, specifically running across 125th street. I live near few minutes from this street and never new this fact. The subway station is above the ground in our area one of the few in Manhattan. Yesterday I was taking a walk towards upper side and could see how deep our street looked from there.

The above is the picture of the subway station .

~~Weekend Read(2)~~

  What supposed to be a weekend read got finished in a day ,so I need to figure out what should I do tomorrow.

 Anyways coming back to novel about smart young lawyer quitting a big firm joining a broke legal firm with two lawyers whose main clients are drunk driving cases and divorces. Suddenly they found a case which might bring a big pharma company down. Story goes on how the law suits are fought between big firms who are much organized  compared to the ordinary street lawyers. It was an interesting read !

~~Weekend Read~~

 So here I am in New York library thinking of what to read for the weekend. Its been sometime I read a novel so I went to the new releases section. There were few chick flicks,horror science fiction books there but nothing caught my attention, I just for a second thought why cant there be a John Grisham book. Immediately I heard somebody saying excuse me behind my back and there was the librarian placing the placing the latest book "The Litigators" by John Grisham in the new releases section. I grabbed it quickly, took home for the weekend read.

Moral of the story:
  Great people get things the moment they think about it.

~~Mail I got~~

Hello!

I just want to thank you for your wonderful blog srijp.blogspot.com.

I read the post "~~halloween kids~~" and then I spent another hour on your blog by reading your posts with pleasure :) Every article is interesting and easy to read. I really like the "~~Snowy mess~~".

I work for Jooble company, we aggregate job adverts around the world.

My job is to persuade bloggers to link to our site.

I really love my job! We have a friendly team and good management, but unfortunately I have no idea how to convince a blogger to link to us, I'm afraid I might lose my job because of it :(

And that is why, instead of sending letters to thousands of different blogs, I am reading yours.

Honestly, I am not really sure if the link to our website in United States - jooble-us.com, will be appropriate for your blog, but if you believe it will and it is possible to add it, I would be really grateful to you! Our site is really cool, it can greatly help hundreds of people to find jobs.

I wish you to have a good day and excellent mood! Thanks again for your nice blog. Write more! Thanks!

Best regards,

PS:

nothing would change linking that here to a blog visited by 10 people per day but its first time I got a marketing mail using a personal touch template.

~~halloween kids~~

  This is my first Halloween in new york and I remembered to stock up few candies for the kids to give. When ever a kid knocks for trick or treat I engaged in small talk before giving out candies. First I tried guessing out what they were ,talked about their costumes and finally gave the candies. One cute girl was dressed up as a kitten and I asked her where is her tail, one of my neighbour's kid dressed up as a Japanese animation character and I asked her to speak in Japanese. Finally there was a small five year old kid came along with his mum, since he was shy to speak I started the conversation, looking at white powdered chubby cheeks and red lipstick all over the mouth I told him you looking cute as a clown. He was about to cry and said no I am a Zombie, then I acted to be frightened and gave the candies. Evening went better than expected :)

~~Snowy mess~~

  Yesterday due to unexpected snow storm things went haywire. First I had to get my winter cloths from the loft and couldnt find where I kept my gloves. My friend who was here on a short visit didnt bring any winter clothes like jackets and boots. She had to catch her flight at night in JFK, I lent my sneakers and she layered up with her remaining clothes to protect herself from the weather. When we entered the subway it was Halloween time as many people dressed in weird characters ranging from a pregnant pig to zombies. I told my friend with the layered costume and luggage she will surely fit as a homeless person.
   Given the snow and rain the subway system was going slow, my friend got tensed as she might miss the flight as her flight was in two more hours. I was sure the flight will be delayed in the given weather but she didnt want to take risk. So we got down and took a cab to the airport. Once there she checked in the bags and asked the people whether the flight will be on time, they said there will be few minutes delay. I said goodbye and left back to home.
  On the way back I caught the air train to get down at metro station. I found a family not getting down at any terminals. I asked them what they were doing, they said they are from Argentina and they were to go to their relatives place in New Jersey but because of the snow storm the trains are cancelled and they are staying overnight in the airport. They are taking the train for time pass.
  I got a mail from my friend that her flight finally took off after 4 hours of delay and she missed the connection flight and reached home taking 2 other flights.
