I and some NIIT colleagues went and had dinner in Thai Restaurant called "Theva" near Grand Place. I have a White Wine, Vegtable Soup and Vegetarian Spring rolls . White wine was not good. Then we walked to "Sablon" were the Fireworkd will begin.There was huge crowd and people were dancing for the loud music. there was big display of Clock through Laser i believe projected on a big building. The Fire works started at 12.00, it was great , spectacular and brilliant. What a Great event to Begin a New year. Sumit asked everyone about there New Year Resolution, i did not have one, on a later note: atleast i will have a resolution to Post 1 week this year, that amounts to 48 posting for 2009.

Mahabharata - Film by Peter Brook

The film tries to tell Mahabharath in 4 to 5 hrs.I would say this is a good attempt,the director has clearly avoided the big efforts for settings , especially in the battle scenes, the palaces etc;But Mahabharath is so vast and the characters are so powerful, it is impossible to pack it.(Is that why important characters like Vidura is not there!)The characters always tries to outwit each other in depth. Every character is as real as in life and have its own pages of stories for its existence itself.For those who know lot of Mahabharath(does anyone knows it completely? or can anyone know?) it is a refresher,the 10 minute revision before an exam.For those who dont know it can be a starter.

And the Change of Guard-Federer vs Nadal Wimbeldon

What a match, This is the perfect way to snatch the title and wimbledon from Federer; Nadal is everywhere in the court,run run run hit hit hit Nadal made federer play his game, made him defensive, ofcourse the Champion fought equally, it was anyones match, but Nadal has to carry one from here, are Federer is planning a comeback?

Small different things in brussels

Small different things in brussels Metro stations can be identified with a bid 'M' board - it is visible when you are walking on the streets Trains both( metro and intercity)and buses do not have open doors,they are locked-you canot get down from busses if it is slowing or stopping in signals There is no separate ticket conductor.Driver acts as an issuer and checker-you have to always board inhe front door-sjow your pass or punch your tickets in the ticket machine To stop the bus in your stop-you may need to press a blue button located at convinient points,to signal the conductor You can find other routes inside the buses People take there pets usually with a length adjutable leash You can find three kinds of pedestrian crossings Automatic-in main roads where the signal turns automatically Semi-automatic-where the pedeetrian has to press the button and the signal will change Unmanned - no signals, here the pedestrian have high priority,even trucks stops if we start crossing
