Attention Span

I clearly lack the normal attention span of 7 minutes normal human beings possess, in my case it takes me 2 mins or 3 mins maximum for my mind to wander in some weird wilderness.
However annoying this sounds but its true I'm pretty bad in paying attention.

Mostly it happens while attending the office meetings for some ultra-critical crisis, after 2 minutes of huffin puffin..I get lost.
And whatever I notedown on my writingpad seems a mountain to climb or just a cake-walk, and results in procrastination.

And the moment I leave the meeting room, I go blank, and after
settling on my desk I try to make sense of gibberish which I noted
down with sincerity of a third-umpire. After minutes of struggle, I decide to take a coffee break before further more deciphering the short forms I used during meeting, and checking of all mail accounts after every three minutes goes on without saying.

(for the record, this stands true only during official hours! Ok wifey)

San Francisco Snaps

Visit to San Francisco began with a ride on Cable Car.

View from Cable car; Famous San Francisco Sine-Wave roads...







First glimpse of PACIFIC from Cable Car.






At Fishermans Warf Appu n Wifey..waiting to board the ship.






While waiting, customary snap of the first ship spotted in sea.






Again killing time sitting next to submarine museum.






And birdwatching :-)




At last the cruise begins..




About to cross Golden Gate Bridge.




On wayback from Golden Gate Bridge, saw this..the Famous ALCATRAZ ISLAND PRISON




And this on prison wall caught my attention.

MI-3

Better than Part-2, but not as good as Part-1.

In all, Mission Impossible Part-3 is worth spending time and money.

What if?

God created this world and then moved off to do something else, probably interesting.

And here we are sitting on the land of a freaking revolving planet of a freaking so-called solar system.

There are millions of galaxies around, billions of stars, planets and what not.

And what if one fine day, out of curiosity the head of anyone of the super powers countries decides to blow-up the Earth?? Then what??
What??

Before I forget I have to write this down.(will capture it soon too)
My heart burns to see my sideburns or non-existent sideburns, through out my life I always maintained normal length, neither long nor short, and now suddenly there r no sideburns.
Lady simply asked my 'how do you like ur sideburns, and I replied short....'wooosh' in one stroke she removed their existence. And I continued the polite smile with 100 khanjars in my heart.

Now, I look like Mithun-da of mid eighties (minus a muffler).

*************

Movies seen
1) The Grudge
2) The Hunting

Movies started but couldn't finish
1) Bunty aur Bubly
2) Pyaare Mohan
3) Darna zaroori hai

Well, sometimes work and most of the times laziness kept me away
from blogging, moreover as Indian team is not playing any matches
so ..... :-)
Anyways I'm not interested in SA-NZ series, I find both teams
very very unattractive. And less said abt Aus-B'desh series
the better.
hmm I'm looking forward to Ind-WI and Pak-Eng series.
That'll be a real test for our new heroes.

After we were through with all forms etc, friend who assisted me
in filing tax-returns, said..so now you are officially a 'NRI'.

5 mahine mein NRI, kya bakwaas hai. I hate these rules n
regulations and distasteful terminologies used.
Obnoxious.
