Flight Deal

While traveling across Europe, I found out about many flight and train deals which were such an ease on my pockets; that I ended up using their services quite too often :) Surprisingly its not officials beyond the counter who give you this information, and why would they? For them you are plain gainful customer! Thanks to my local friends who helped us with these information!

Well, don’t we all wish that we are at anytime aware of all offers ? Here I have Elizabeth sharing her insights on finding a flight deal while flying out from United States…

* Conditions Apply…a Joke of a Play!!

Mandira Bedi and Darshan Jariwala

Mandira Bedi and Darshan Jariwala

As one grows in life we all understand that all things that come to you in life have conditions attached to it!! Whether you take it or leave it is totally your prerogative. So when our friend came selling tickets for an upcoming play in the city of Kochi (Cochin), I decided to take it, as the play itself was deceptively titled “*conditions apply”!!

Being high on plays after Rajat Kapoor’s – Hamlet – The Clown Prince & Naseerudin Shah’s Antigone , which were brilliantly put together, I had great expectations from “*conditions apply”.

Santa University

Its true!!

Well, just imagine  -  in some remote corner of the world all the Santa Clauses coming together for a training session!! Yes, it does happens!! The Santa Clauses actually attends University to prepare himself to be more receptive to people he meets around the Christmas eve!! Isn’t this news to you?? It was certainly news to me!

The Noerr Programs Corporation, a digital event imaging company trains Santa’s every year in the Santa University at Arvada, Colarado. The training program the Santa’s receive helps them answer tricky questions often put up by children and also to get the shy kids to come forward and share his/her Christmas list. These Santa’s even are given pointers as to when to ho,ho,ho!!

Diwali / Deepavali

This blog is dedicated to my friends from Europe whom I recently met and shared memorable moments with..

shubh_deepavali_wishes-diwali-161_big
All through our travel across Europe I met more and more people who were in awe of India. For them India meant color, culture, smiling faces and an unraveling mystery. For most of them it was simply difficult to accept diversity that India offers – the number of languages, distances, festivals, food and so much more. Today let me tell you something about Diwali the festival of lights and what better time to tell you than on the festival day itself?

TwitGeek! What will these folks (or web developers) think of next?

I was quite amused to come across this site, which clearly states: TwittGeek is a Twitter application that automatically follows 200 targeted people based on keywords you write!

I haven’t tried it out though, as there’s a reason for me in being selective. I’ve basically decided only to follow web sites/industry associations that are of interest — or ‘of a technical nature’ — to me!

What is Yola?

I came across a very interesting article on TechNewsWorld, titled: How to build a small business web site… part 9! Very interested, to know more, I proceeded to read it. Well, there are eight other parts to this article, all linked very nicely from this page.

However, I’d like to draw the attention of those small businesses who don’t have a web site or web presence yet, to Yola, formerly, SynthaSite.

Your Planet Needs You! UNite to Combat Climate Change

globe

That’s the theme for this year’s World Environment Day (WED) which is hosted during the week of June 5. This day actually brings me fond memories of the educational activities I planned during my stint at SunTechnics India (Bangalore). Planting sapling, sessions on climatic change and importance of energy conservation at schools, fun activities at malls…hmm. The subject had become close to my heart like never was. I have been writing about global warming, relevance of usage of renewable source of energy in the current scenario, tips for conserving energy etc in my earlier blog posts.

What does your Zodiac sign say about you?

Well, some of it is uncannily true but I would still look at this for fun sake only! So check what your sun sign say about your personality :)
