Home Unwired!

I am sitting in my bedroom blogging this, and chatting with Chetan, who is in the balcony with his laptop! Not so dramatic...? :), we just installed a Linksys wireless router in our home!
It works amazing! We get full strength in our whole house! (Not that our house is very big though... ;) ) Chetan tested outside the house too...
More than anything else, it allows us both to be connected to net, and saves the contention on plug points and space on the computer table :)

Happy riding... :)

Really thankful to George (my colleague in office), who lent me his bicycle to go around while I am here in US... That is a "real good" bike! (Not that I have much experience with other good bikes :) )
Am becoming more and more comfortable with its gears, and it takes very less effort to ride. Although, I am pretty slow as compared to other bikers I think...

After shifting to a new hotel (Best Western) closer to my office, had a trip to the "Concord center", and a little further up to "Lexington road". Lost way while coming back... so I must have ridden atleast 6-7 miles. Legs hurt a little, but, it was good. This is a perfect place to bike. Less traffic, beautiful houses, charming gardens, and cheerful weather!

My office is around 5 miles from here. I think I can bike to office, lest for the heavy laptop bag.

A game of...

What is this heavy robust man doing with this thin-at-one-end-fat-at-another funnny looking stick? His expresisons and posture says he is doing something very respectable... and sporty... Ok, there is another man throwing a small ball at him... standing so close! They almost seem like playing a kid-game like... "gilli-danda"? Ok!... this is baseball! :)

Any baseball-lovers out there, no offence intended! But, honestly and innocently, that was my first feeling when I had a look at the baseball game being broadcasted on TV in the hotel.

Baseball is a famous game, and the baseball players are popular. This is so apparent in their body-language, but seems so odd to an out-sider (Perhaps the feeling will be same for an American watching cricket). I mean..., how can you take pride in that funny looking posture before throwing (pitching?) the ball, where you just raise your one leg! The stick looks so thin, the ball so tiny, and the ground so small... while the players look unnecessary heavy built. Ok, ok, I know the ball is heavy and its not easy to hit the ball... but still, this is a game which appears to me seriously out of proportions!

Anyways, I think I will watch the game a little more, now that I have looked up the rules on the net, and try to change my opinion about it :)
