In the City of Joy

Landed in the City of Joy on the 2nd of 2008. Bodes well for the year ahead. ;)

Its been fun till now. Been busy of late. As for the city, obviously its different from the others I have been to and upto to me to discover. Actually right now I am reminded of the 2x2 matrix that HyperBarni had framed. This is how it goes - take Pace of Life on the X axis (Low -High) and Work Life Balance on the Y axis (Low - High) then Cal (I kind of like the older anglicised name) would be placed on the 2nd quadrant. I will be here for quite a while to place it on the right quadrant. ;)

First impression: Good. I am starting to like the city. Maybe 'cos the culinary tastes here are much like home and so is the language. Atleast now I understand what the masses are speaking.

Checked out Some Place Else which everyone here talks highly about. Old English setting very much like Firangi Pani. The best part is the fact that it has a live band playing every night. And the icing on the cake is the fact that its open till 4 a.m.

The Other Bill retires :)

Nice spoof! Just goes on to show his good sense of humour.

Really liked the part when he calls Obama for a job as his running mate. ;)
