A Missed Flight.....!!


Ever missed a flight to the place you love to go visit? It was finally the day - to get on my long procrastinated trip to Chicago. And just when I was thinking everything is going fine, I missed my flight this morning...:-( Never missed a flight ever; had always been early to the airport, even if it meant waiting a couple of hours after security check. Maybe just needed a little wake-up call - to not deviate from the a working routine and plan something crazy, especially when its a morning flight (I love my sleep!!)...;-)

Anyways, I need to be creative in spending my next 3 hours - that's when my next & alternative flight is. This screw up of mine will make me miss my connecting flight, unless something miraculous happens and the flight supposed to take to Chicago gets delayed - as if just waiting for me (to take me down to Chicago). If only that happens.....who knows, sometimes dreams may come true right? :))

Its been over an year since I've been to Chicago. I always seem to have an affinity to that windy city. Whichever place I move to in the US, I still feel like getting back to Chicago. Is it the place, people, weather....or something unknown that keeps drawing me towards it. Many that I know don't prefer living in Chicago as its winters are very harsh - wind chill, snow, snow and snow. But, I like the place inspite of the troublesome winters - atleast I'll have an opportunity to see and experience all the seasons, especially the snowy one which I may never be able to if I was living in the country I hail from.

Hoping this flight can accommodate me and next flight can wait for me....let me spend my next 2.5 hours here in Orlando. Can't wait to get to Chicago - flurries and a little snow predicted this afternoon... :-)

Of Caste and Religion.....

Why do we have Castes and Religions? Like many others, I was, and am haunted by this question. I'm still trying to figure out possible reasons. It seems like a brain-child of our ancestors of yesteryears; formulated to create a social hierarchy, group people per their chores and use them for their own needs. Something that started several years ago, still grows, courtesy our ever power hungry politicians. Though people are trying to forget the caste and religion feeling, the so called leaders have been nurturing the feelings and cashing on the same. We call ourselves the hi-tech era, 21st century, modern world etc etc., but are still entangled in the web of caste and religion. There are still people who restrict temples and mosques to the respective religions. Little do they realize the fact that there is only one supreme power. Its we who depict the almighty in different forms. If each of us are asked to depict or visualize the supreme being, each one would have a different pictur...

Inconvenient Truth!!

Ever wondered why there has been abrupt changes of climate/weather all across the world? Ever thought why the summers are getting hotter, and winters colder? Downpours no rains, floods, earthquakes, loss of coast line, and many a disaster that seem like wrath of nature. Ever thought of the reasons behind these life endangering events? "Global Warming" takes the blame for all these events of nature. Wondering who is to be blamed for Global Warming? We. All those who watched 2004's "The Day After Tomorrow" might have got a hint of the power of Global Warming. Most of us watched it as a movie; but, very few of us realized that that is a future inevitable, if proper steps are not taken to protect our "Planet Earth". Life-threating changes that started increasing beginning last decade forces us to think about Global Warming. Means to curtail the increasing fury of nature is not just a fight against Global Warming, but safeguarding the very existence of mank...

Food........For Thought.

The lexicon meaning of 'Food for Thought' is 'anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking', 'intellectual nourishment' etc. But, recently I came across a website that made me think of another meaning for the same. The website contains a kind of Quiz on Vocabulary. For every word that you get right, United Nations donates 20 grains of Rice to help fight world hunger; so the site says. True or not, you don't lose anything trying to play the game, right? Give it a try, your 'Thought' might help someone with 'Food'. Now, that's what I call......'Food for Thought'. Go on, check your vocab at - http://freerice.com/
