Addicted to Orkut....Are you ??
So my BIL introducded me and my wife to this social networking site called Orkut that is currently getting quite popular in India.
Usually I show no interest to such sites, but my wife first started using it. After spending saturday noon on browsing through it, she came to know to about many of her old class mates aka langotia yaars and their current whereabouts....
I was still reluctant to create my profile, but when I gradually came to know that many around me are hooked on to it, this was it. Its not difficult to get a software engineer aroused in his arena. After I logged on, I found many of my close friends active on Orkut with whom I had such great memories. And through their friends network came to know about more people with whom I had lost touch since ages.....
So now I am an active member of this new socio-networking concept.
Does this mean that yahoogroups has lost its charm or has failed to keep up. I don't think so, but may be people wanted another way to interact and keep in touch, something that is simple to use at the same time. Something that has a little more active communication, a different way of talking (known as scraping in Orkut world) and some more pictures than words
Back to my Orkut..........
And if you wanna join, just leave me a comment and I will send you an invite....

Sequel to the car episode
Few of my friends asked me after reading my blog, 'What happened to your car? Did you find it ?'. So I thought of writing a sequel to this episode.
As some of the Bollywood movies have, after intermission there is a twist to the movie. Something similar happened with this too. After about six weeks of my missing car, one afternoon I got a call from Bellevue cops in my office. They asked me to come down to a place close to where I live and identify a vehicle. I was happy that they found my car, and at the same time there was anxiety about what will be its condition.
By that time I had already bought my second car Mazda 626. So I called up my wife and we drove to this place. There was one cop waiting for us. We identified our car. Hurray, our car was found. There was joy on our faces. Then he showed some of the stuff lying in the car, which wasn't ours. He took finger prints of few places so that the thief could be indentified. The car was a mess from inside. Luckily he had not trashed the car, as most of the thieves who are also drug addicts do. We drove it back home that evening.
We had two cars for couple of weeks. I used to drive the black altima to work where as my wife preferred driving the red mazda. But not for long as we decided to sell the altima. If you want to get tips on how to sell the car in two days, may be I can give you few.....Once our ad was posted on Seattle Craig list, we received more than 30 calls in a day and half of them visiting to check the car. Seattle is apparently a hotter market for used cars as compared to Bay area. If you have a good condition used Japanese car, there is no dearth of buyers. We both had spend weekends when searching for a car during this course, getting some funny experiences looking fora car. Seattle Craig list offers the best possible ads, and one has to be quick in responding if there's a good car for sale in the market. So to cut the long story short, our car got sold in a jiffy when three buyers landed up at the same time.
So this is how I landed up buying my third car in US. Mitsubishi, then Nissan and now a Mazda.

Trekking or hiking in Pacific Northwest
Northwest US is one of the most beautiful regions in the country. The terrain is not at all flat. There is so much of greenary, mountains, hills, lakes and forests all over the place. No wonder Washington is called as the Evergreen state. If you love outdoors you ought to be here as there is always some activity to do in every season of the year. Summer is the best season of all, as the days are long and the tempratures are nice and warm. Perfect for all sorts of outdoor activities and adventure.
Sometimes me and my wife go out for trekking to close by places. There are abundance of them from a family hike types to rigourous steep climbs and those that require training (climbing Mt. Raineer types). Last week we went to a place called Franklin Falls that is half an hours drive from Seattle. It was hot day but the trek was through dense forest along side a river. If you want to go for couple of hours trek, I would definitely recommend this place.
Besides Waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest is a great site to search for nice places to hike and trek.
Have fun, till it suns.
