Niagara - from US side

In Alex's words, "You guys really like Niagara!". Ofcourse Alex! How could we not? This is an addition to our nth trip to Niagara Falls, but a first from the US side. Getting soaked in the waters of Niagara, feeling the force of Niagara on your face, and even realizing its potential, when losing breath standing under it at the Cave of the Winds, is something, we ought to remember for ever. And ever.

Something to ponder upon...

FALL in love

A "FALL in love" trip to the biggest park in the second biggest country of the world. The bright Falls color reminded of the colorful world we live in and admire the work of GOD, as the greatest artist and painter.

Once it was Lehman Brothers...

I vividly remember being in awe of the Lehman Brothers building, when I first saw it. Right in front of it, was my own office...the 750 building of Morgan Stanley, but I took more pictures of the Lehman Building, than of my own office. The Lehman Brothers ticker was visible to most of us from our own desk and constantly reminded us of the worthy competitor we have.

However, its glory was suddenly lost in the market jitters. And, we are not happy about it. Not just because, I have friends in LB, but also we needed such a competitor and LB never deserved this fate. The luck played a more prominent role in its end, than anything else.

We have new ticker to concentrate on now - The Barclays Capital Group....more commonly known to us as BGI. I have spent a lot of efforts, supporting the huge order flow of BGI, in my earlier project...I am sure, it would have been even more interesting now.

Once a Morgan-Stanley building, and very recently a Lehman Bros. building, here is what it looks like now:

 


(Tx to Jay, for remembering how desperate I was for this picture and mailing it to me right on time.)

Trip to Buffalo City

A very nice and easy-on-pocket shopping trip to Buffalo City. The round trip costed us just 3.5 USD per head, and to top that, unlimited coke and coffee free. Beat that !! We also enjoyed the experience to view Niagara from the Rainbow bridge, be on the No Man's Land, standing with one foot in USA and the other in Canada...literally. And shopping at the fashion outlets in buffalo, is obviously great.
