Balloon Festival 08 @ bristol

Fortunately i was able to attend bristol international balloon fiesta. It was 30th anniversary celebration. but what say, as usual crazy british weather ruined all the fun. they say 'Bristol without balloons would be like London without the red buses...' but this time,bristol had to celebrate its balloon festival without balloons :) becoz of the heavy rain on saturday..

The other highlight was Red arrows aircraft show. Red Arrows dazzled crowds and set hearts racing as the aircraft passed with pinpoint accuracy. They showcased amazing shapes and few of them were just WOW!!!
I have published few pics of the show. Take a look...

Lastly, chopper ride. I had my first chopper ride experience here and it was too good especially the view... amazing!!! It feels so good if the piolt could take us around the world...wow that would be an amazing view... we paid £30 for 5 mins ride and i felt that's bit expensive :( we managed to take few pics from top and this is how bristol looks....

FINDING AND KEEPING A LIFE PARTNER

Hi, Found this good article….. It is worth spending some time and reading this…….. When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, noone wants to make a mistake. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach tofinding Mr./Miss. Right!If you ask most couples who are engaged why they're getting married,they'll say: "We're in love"; I believe this is the ..1 mistake people make when they date. Choosing a life partner should never be based onlove. Though this may sound "not politically correct", there's aprofound truth here.Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage . When the other ingredients are right, then thelove will come. Let me say it again: "You can't build a lifetimerelationship on love alone"; You need a lot more!!!Here are five questions you must ask yourself if you're serious aboutfinding and keep

Unity In Diversity

I chose this name to my post because most of us do remember reading this in our text books during school days. This is what our teachers used to preach everyday in school and we did believe that and felt good about our nation. As we grew up and started to understand what is happening around us, its natural to ask ourselves do we really have unity in diversity. Ok friends, by now you might have hinted what am i trying to write here... yes you guessed it right. Its all about the controversy we are hearing in news "Marathi Vs Hindi" ... Is language dividing Indians, instead of uniting us ??? Do we really need this kind of controversies ?? I personally feel what ever statement Mrs.Bachchans made in public might have hurt Marathi people but then she didn't speak in some language which they don't understand like Latin, Arabic or Malayalam. She spoke in 'Hindi' which is considered as our national language. I feel there was no need for Mr.Raj Thackeray to make a big i

Namma maneya putta kaithota...

Yes.... I have started one of my favorite hobby Gardening from this month... I always had the dream of having a garden of my own and growing plants and spending my leisure time in there. After so many discussions along with my family members, I got few yards in our parking area to start my Gardening. I had asked the contractor to leave that without filling any mud. I might be having  around 10 x 3 area left for gardening.. and the depth around 2 feet. I asked few of the nearby nursery to start with as the amount of mud to be filled was more, I dont wanted to take any chances. The red soil costed around Rs.50 per each cement bag and the organic fertilizer Rs.120. We needed around 80 cement bags  to fill that area. It was almost equivalent to one tractor load....:-) The initial investment is bit high. But according to that Gardener (He was J.P Nagar 2nd Phase), we dont have worry about the soil and the fertilizer for the next 5 years it seems. So for me it costed around Rs.8000 in
