Here comes the highway to Hell !

The Mumbai marathon is around the corner. I am a bit scared. Only a few long runs and no running on weekdays for more than 3 months ! And no running at all in the last 3 weeks !

Good news - that niggling pain below the right knee is gone. Bad news, haven't tried it out yet !
Another Good news, I have lined up my family members to give me gifts, if i complete my first marathon !

Here is the route of the Marathon, looks real mighty looooooooooooooooong. I will be earning those gifts. Really.

I will be singing and praying what the Dirty Dozen Brass Band are singing below :

Zurich Airport

What a setting for an airport. Look out and you see nice blue skies, white fluffy clods and swiss alps !

Bremer Tabak

Bremen City was once known for its tobacco growing and processing !

Here's a pic of the Bremen Hauptbahnhof (Bremen Central Train Station) :




Of course, as soon I knew this, I had to become the owner of their Cigars (Cigarillos). Shall try them soon and post my experience.

Selling Parfum via Wide buck teeth ?

On the flight I saw an ad for a perfume in the inflight shopping magazine and I was completely confused.


Both the things are not what the photographers / models / advertisers aim for when presenting such a shot - do they ?
Or did they actually get what they wanted with such vivid recollection and reproduction ?

Eye in the sky !

Was sleeping on the flight. When woke up and twisted my head to the side (not as painful as it sounds) and I see the sun cresting over rough clouds below :

Here's another view :

The Blues Brothers

What a fantastic movie ! The awesomeness start and just never ends ! Anyone who likes the classic jazz, R & B, blues, soul specially the legends music, will love this movie.

Dan Ackroyd & John Belushi are awesome in this movie. The fun part, their costumes remain the same (in fact the SAME) throughout the movie.

Here's more info on The Blues Brothers Costume

The cameos played by the real musicians like Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles are awesome. Must Must watch.

Some video links from you tube :

A funny thing happened ...

This funny thing happens every day ! He has only one policy - IGNORE DAD. I change his diapers, burp him, walk him to sleep. Love him. but who cares - its Ignore dad policy at work all the time.

Perhaps the reason for this, I can fathom.
