Salute to Mumbai Heroes

This is not the first time Mumbai watching the terror attack. It has been running like a series from past couple of decades. But Mumbai has the life to take it, feel it and adjust with it. It's not because people are now used to it, because they are running to make the prosperity of their family. None of the terrorists can destroy that will power of the people. Though there were so-many casualties and around 200 people died in the incident, we are proud to those commandos' who given their life to save people in the long battle. Also, we are proud to Police Commissioner Hemant Karkare, who given his life in the battle with terrorists. They were the real heroes. You could see the spirit of local people, who came themselves to congratulate the commandos and many was giving shake hands, flowers etc with their heartfelt gladness. Mumbai - Always Terror Target. Mumbai is always a target of terror strikes. It's because of the underworld connection of the city as well as ...

Quantum of Solace ( Story of Financial Crisis)

Today was the premier release date of 22nd James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace". I went to Midvalley Megamall to buy some electronic gadgets. Unfortunately, all the small IT shops are closed down and that big space is given for new "makan" shop. Then head to 3rd floor to have a look for the line-up. Fortunately, there was no crowd and managed to get a ticket for the 6:15pm show. As usual, 15 minute bugged up with the advertisement. Shell was advertising the Aston Martin DBS like anything in the papers. The show starts itself with chasing of Bond and loosing the side door of Aston Martin. Here, I could see there are no special functionality of this Aston Martin DBS, like other James Bond vehicle. The beginning of the show, Bond is under the official role. So, the car must get some what hi-fi equipment. Unfortunately, this is not even bullet proof. There comes the start of cost cutting (Financial Crisis). I was comparing the other James Bond movie vehicl...

Proud Moments

This generation celebrate each things through party. For single matter, simple things they put on party, but the organizer may or may not know what is the actual meaning of the event. They are only aiming party. I was participated a "deepavali party" two weeks ago. Though the family meant to invite their friends and arrange a feast, I am not sure how many of them know, what is Deepavali. Even their kids may not know. I was the exceptional case there, since I am a non-smoker and non-drinker. Everybody was enjoying the wine, whiskey, soctch etc and had company; I was just away, but in the middle of the croud and was watching them. It was special invitation to me and was made and blocked my dates 2 months before. So, I can't avoid it. I was just tasting the food stuffs, but didn't feel to have much. Lots of their friends, half of them married to Europeans, came. One of their neigbor, his wife is a European, came to me and had a good chat. Surprisingly, she is ...

Team dinner @ 1 Utama

Image
Today was our second team dinner. This was the real team dinner. I mean, this included our whole ( most of them.. please excuse, those opted for another day ) team and team manager. This time, we opted the place at 1 Utama. It was Korean steam boat. Much differ from my past experience with steam boat. This was very fantastic. First time, I was going to One Utama. So, I decided to go early and to see around, then to join with my team. Despite the heavy thunder, I left at 5:45pm for the 8:00pm dinner party. Unfortunately, it was terrible traffic jam from Bukit Damansara till Bandar Utama. Even though I caught the bus at 6:20pm, the bus reached Bandar Utama at 8:30pm and it was heavy shower outside till I reach my destination. So, my plan to see the One Utama washed away in the heavy lashes. The dinner was very good and this time, I really enjoyed. Due to some of my colleagues, rushed to go back at 9:50pm, I had to rush to fit my tripod to take a group photo ( see the pic ). Fe...

Fate of a free park

Image
Quiet a long time was enjoying the free park outside my office. Recently Bandaraya installed parking coupon machines. I think, none of the regular customers are following that. But how, they are going to be find out, people are regularly paying the money? Their rates are reasonable, but that is not practical, when it comes to those working 12hrs or entire day sitting inside office. Later I moved my night parking to our service center area, where they allowed free parking from 7:00pm till 8:15am. After 8:30am, they clamps and you have to pay RM 50 and can it be up to RM10, if you are good negotiator. When hariraya season started, my schedule changed further more, so, I can't park at service center area too and the good place to extend my free enjoyment is our own parking area at basement. That is managing by Secure Parking team. Earlier, we had swipe card and with that, you can enjoy n number of free parking and going out during evening 7:30pm till morning 8:30am. Due to t...

Mafias in Formula 1

Once I was thinking about, may be Formula 1 will be the less corruption sports game. But, yesterday injustice proved that, they are now surroundings with Ferrari mafia. I know, all Ferrari fans will beat me, but frankly says, it is too much. Even though, it is clear in cameras, there was no mistake by Lewis, they are not ready to give the point and accept the appeal. This season, there are very good examples that shows Ferrari mafias. One of them was, earlier ( I can't remember where it was ) Massa, hit Adrian Sutil and he lost his valuable point of the team and his first podium. It was very clear that, it was the mistake of Massa, but he didn't even bother to admit and the stupid stewarts didn't take any action against this. Such kind of several incidents are happened, but Ferrari favour stewards, panels won't bother to accept, unless the mistake was done by team Maclaren. Last season, when the Maclaren saga was going on, I read in a paper that Formula one go...

When we look at the name MIFC, feels, it only at Malaysia. But, it is an international version. The event consists of 4 different days of functions from China, Spain, Australia and Malaysia. Due to my duty schedules, I have missed all three session but got chance to see the grand final by Australian team. After this event, all teams will move to Australia for the next firework event of the year.

Initially, we only three guys was ready to go for the event, as this event starts at night 9:30pm and ends at 10:00pm. Due to high traffic conjussion and transportation risks, many said no for this. But we three decided to go ahead. Then other fellows got interest. We left fr...
