Much awaited trip to New York City is getting shaped-up nicely. Lets' see if it gets crystallized or not.

I just realized that taximeter's digits get incremented at regular intervals irrespective of the status of the engine, so just wondering what does the figure on taximeter exactly indicate? I used to think it is just the distance traveled!

Definition of taximeter indicates that 'waiting time' is also the criterion based on which the figures are selected for display—how fair is that?

Does anyone know the formula on which that figure is calculated?

Joke of the day.

Reading this story has transformed my doubt into a real reason to believe that the melodrama on electronic and print media going on for past two years or so was a publicity stunt.

Trying passionately hard to take on every hurdle, I hardly get time to update my journal.

Exams over, and so is "study" for time being. Hope that forthcoming days don't push me to the corner of new problems that would occupy my mind completely and in turn become reason(s) for the baldness ;)

In other news, while I was away from the world of activities, there has been enormous change in Indian politics. New political party is in power, and initial functioning has reassured me that next 5 years (or hopefully less) are barely going to be any fruitful for white-collar guys in urban localities.

And yeah, I too need career guidance.
