Penn's Landing

Went for local sight seeing in philly city during the weekend. Just drove across the philly city streets along with my cousin.
here are few snaps....
The area today known as Penn's Landing (http://www.ushistory.org/tour/tour_landing.htm) stretches along the Delaware and encompasses the spot where William Penn, Philadelphia's founder, first touched ground in his "greene country towne." After Penn's arrival, this area quickly became the center of Philly's maritime soul and the city's dominant commercial district.
And the Benjamin Franklin bridge seen in the above pic is one of the few bridges which connects PA and NJ. The place where I’m standing is PA (Pennsylvania) and the other side is NJ (New Jersey).
more snaps...
Another major development at my side is that I gave the knowledge test for learner’s permit and now I’m legally authorized to learn driving in US roads :) Infact I have already started driving in the streets on a Volkswagen Jetta and this is the steering wheel i held for the first time outside India :))

Status Report for April' 06 ;)

It’s been quite some time since I jotted down out here. Every time I sat down to jot I got distracted with something or the other. And there are many draft ‘jots’ lying in my inbox. I hope at least this one makes it to the ‘world wide web’.

Well…though I was silent for sometime, many things happened around me… here is the recap :)

To start with…
I saw the first snowfall of my life couple of weeks back. No one had expected to snow that day but all of a sudden the temperatures went down and it snowed. And unfortunately I didn’t have a camera at that time. So couldn’t click any pics. neither could i play in the snow since i was in office at that time. :)

then…I visited Atlantic City. Its famous for casinos. Went there on a Saturday night with a cousin of mine. Burnt quite some $$ too at the casinos there. U know what? One of the casinos is called Taj Mahal :) and it is built in the model of Taj Mahal (Agra)

then…finally now I’m a proud owner of Canon Powershot A530. Bought it online from DELL website last week. I managed to find a deal @ $148 (inclusive of all taxes) at Deals2Buy. So u’ll soon find some pics shot with my ‘very own’ A530 :)

and also i'm into orkut community now. its really fantastic. great place to meet(new/old) friends. so what are you waiting for. ..

so as usual every time I finish jotting down, I (am) think(ing)/wish(ing) in my mind – “henceforth let me be more regular in blogging."

Cheers!

Warning: To all my new friends out there - i'm not a great writer and i just jot what i feel like and sometimes it may not make any sense to u. i hope it atleast makes to me :)
