Niagara Falls
Posted: September 24, 2010 Filed under: Let the picture speak, My bandwagon 1 Comment »Following are the few pictures that I took in my recent trip to Niagara Falls. The fall is impressive, but the infrastructures set up for the tourism are even more impressive. The North Americans really know how to make most out of their natural wonders.
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I noticed that every other tourists there was a Desi (South Asian). For a moment I thought I was inside the Engineering building of my University (or most of the American Universities) 
The Desi’s also seem to have strategically built restaurants and hotels around the Falls. The lines in Desi Fast food/buffet or the wait time in Desi restaurants was insanely long. I guess those customers eating in non-Desi place either must have specifically desired non-Desi food, or they were simply sick of long lines and wait times

3.Shape the dough into a hollow cone.
4.Stuff it with molasses mix.
5.Completely enclose the stuffings inside the cone.
6.Steam it for 10-15 minutes, until the Yomari looks glossy. Voila, the Yomari is ready to be served.
PS: This is a recipe for basic Yomari. Sorry, no pictures of final product, completely forgot to take pictures while gulping Yomari. Also, ignore the irregular shapes by the first timers

Special thanks to Prat for these pictures.
Winter Wallop
Posted: February 10, 2010 Filed under: Let the picture speak 6 Comments »Last Sunday was Super Bowl, an unofficial American Holiday, the finale of the American Football Season. Primarily because of the Super Bowl, I had no issues with the winter storm that preceded it. The Friday-Saturday’s winter storm brought over two feet of snow (Elkridge Maryland had over 3 feet), crippling life through out the State of Maryland and beyond. For me, it was a superb time to watch pre Super Bowl shows, without any compulsion to go out for a weekend “shopping” 
I dug my car out of the snow, so did my neighbors. The Super Bowl went very well too, as my favored New Orleans Saints won the Vince Lombardi Trophy. All is well
Today (Wednesday, February 10, 2010); I am sitting at home again, like most of the people in the State of Maryland, and witnessing another snowfall of over a feet and the wind gusting up to 45 miles per hour. The State has already spent $60 million of it’s alloted budget for the snow removal, and there are no signs that the snow season is ending anytime soon. This winter season (to date), Baltimore is the most snowy city in the United States of America, which was never heard of before.
Following are the few pictures from the pre Super Bowl storm, all were taken around my neighborhood. I have no desire to go out to take pictures of today’s snow 
Greetings and wishes

What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That’s not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that’s the burden of a year.

I say it’s more like 400 calories; 200 on bed itself while you are just thinking about waking up, and 200 to actually get up. Though some might argue that’s a fantastic way to burn calories, trust me it’s no fun to wake up at 5-6 am every weekday, in these chilling condition.
Hope ya’ll are staying warm and cozy; wherever you are, except down under (Australia). Below, a recent picture taken from my window. And, a choreographed picture of a flower on snow; to make things brighter, even in gloom
