US policies and crap

The discussion over the transfer of nuclear technology for civil use to India has been going on for over 5 years! And when the bill was passed yesterday to push forward, the congress and the other 35 odd nuclear materials' suppliers are still pondering what is right.

Nobody made a noise when this news came out, did they? -- U.S. Plans New Arms Sales to Gulf Allies. Because US has huge investments and dependency on the oil?

I am rich-er

Yay! Yippee! woooo! wow!

I earned $2.42 on Google AdSense. I am richer by about Rs.100 now :-)

Apping is chugging along. Too much to do, very little time, much motivation required.

Took my first Reiki class today. It was exciting to say the least. Barbara is a learned and knowledgeable woman. Our discussions have helped me understand the art; its effectiveness and my capabilities remain to be understood. Next class is in early August - about a week before my toefl.

UPDATE
Joined the Reiki club on meetup.com. Trying to get some free Reiki!! ;-)

1408


Oh well...this is definitely a different horror movie. Doesn't have the scary faces bit...the one that you'll remember for the rest of your lives - they are not in this movie.

Scary rating - 2.5 of 5

Overall rating - 5.5 of 10

We were almost laughing at the irony of Micharl Enslin. Poor guy, could not get out whatever he did! The ending seemed to be rushed up. They could have made the plot more audience involving, and given the audience something to think about. Sadly, John Cusack did all the thinking, and not the audience.

4th fireworks and lucky at broadway....again!

Another broadway show - Avenue Q and that too on lottery! 2nd time lucky :-)

The Broadway Lottery system - about 2 hours before the show you put your Name on a piece of paper and drop it in the lottery box. After 30 minutes and almost ~125 entries, 5-10 names are picked out. If your name is picked out, you get first row tickets at half the price of a last row ticket!! It is amazing!
I won the lottery ticket for A Chorus Line and Akshia won it for Avenue Q. Wow, what are the odds for that?!

Avenue queue is a Muppet show. Something like an adult sesame street. It addresses some concerning issues and is fun at the same time. Very creative and highly recommended.

4th of July Macy fireworks were awesome. Despite the unwanted rain Akshia, Milu and I had a great time :-)
