Wish I could be on that boat ..

13 years ago this day  I started my professional life !

Trinity College, Dublin

Still working on old pictures !
From our Ireland trip in 2004

A WTC picture from 2002

I was going through some of my old pictures and thought of sharing this one ...

talking of bird droppings ..

Talking of bird droppings, cannot complain that the Indian consulate could not  clean up the bird dropping on the steps down to the consular office given that the bird dropping on the wings of Space shuttle Discovery survived the launch, the space flight and are back on earth after a space flght - still intact on the Discovery wings !!

So, I do have an update my passport saga –

 

After a few hiccups , which reinforced my belief that me and the passport have a figure of thirty six (chathees ka annkda), I finally descended the  bird dropping covered steps into the undergrounds of the Indian consulate to collect my new magnetic readable passport on a Tuesday evening (submitted on Monday morning). 

The highlight of the visit was running into another person in his late twenties, who like me was among the chosen few with a figure of 36 – or rather I should say, he had a figure of 72 !! The poor guy got his passport back only to find that his place of birth was printed as Nasirabad, Pakistan – and he swears, he had filled out his form very clearly indicating a place of birth Nasirabad, Rajasthan.  To add to his fury, the person at the counter kept insisting that his old passport  had also  indicated Pakistan – the handwritten Rajasthan apparently looked like Pakistan ?? ..

Could there be anything more annoying than Himesh Reshamiya lending his nasal twangs to Imran Hashmi's bobcat antics ??
