After our run today, we were having our customary Starbucks coffee. This particular Starbucks has a few other regulars on Sunday mornings than us. One of them is a motorbike team. Today, a lady drove in her Harley with the following helmet…. Hilarious!!!

Terminal B at Washington Dulles airport.
There are two Starbucks literally facing each other!
One of them (the left one in my panorama picture) has name and logo written in white and black (the other one is in familiar white and green)!!
The one on the left serves wine!!!

Why one would go thru the hysteresis curve of waking up with coffee from the green Starbucks and then doze off with the wine from the black Starbucks, beats the heck out of me 🙂

… would you go to the extent of printing more letters, wasting more paint and confusing more tourists to call an “Exit” something else… I am sure some poor tourist is going “do they have lioness and tigress in the tunnel too?” 🙂

Boston Delta Skyclub is one of the biggest Skyclubs I have ever seen. I walk in and I was surprised to see a lot of my fellow Indians there. Found out – there are delayed flights to Paris (connecting to Bombay and Delhi) or something like that.
Anyways, I settled down and was busy catching up on emails when I heard the lady at the desk announce “Would passenger Patel please meet the front desk?”. Bemused, I looked over – and sure enough, in under 7 seconds there was a 11 deep queue!!
I don’t think the poor lady at the desk realized what was going on!!!

Ever heard of the constant rife, sectarian violence and prospect of civil war in Egypt? Well, guess what – in a sudden urge to do his duty, the tourism minister of Egypt has appealed to the world to visit Egypt. His lure? You can’t make this up… in an English interview to The Guardian, Hisham Zazou, the aforementioned tourism minister, said “Bikinis are welcome in Egypt and booze is still being served.”
You think he might be in “de Nile”? 🙂

Just in case you thought a caplet is a smaller version of a cap….

“According to Forbes magazine, Al Gore is now worth more than $200 million. This is what Gore meant when he talked about going green.” –Jay Leno
By the way, Gore, in real life is a very funny (and self-deprecating) guy. There is an interview of him by Peter Segal (Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me) that is outrageously funny. If you wish to hear it check out the Apr 20th podcast.
My favorite – Al Gore claims that he is so stiff and boring that the codename (when he was VP) given by Secret Service was …….. “Al Gore” 🙂

This is for all my Bengali friends who grew up with “Abol Tabol” and other poems of Sukumar Roy. I found this on the internet. Not sure who came up with it but I would say he/she did a great job in adapting Sukumar’s “noteboi” to modern events. If imitating is the best form of flattery, then this is a great tribute to Sukumar Roy.

Two days of constant rainfall – water everywhere – rivulets in the backyard – huge puddles on the road – and now the forecast says more rain the evening.
It is like the WeatherGods have misunderstood today to be “Sinko de Mayo” or something 🙂

So now one Penny Pritzker has been nominated for Commerce Secretary. Given the state of economy shouldn’t we have aimed higher and gone with at least somebody whose name started with Dollar? 🙂
