COFFE CAFE DAY THE LOUNGE

Saw this CCD Lounge in ShastriNagar Chowk, (Near Golf Course) I didnt really know it was a new concept, In the lounge, the beverage is paired over gourmet cuisine and not just over fast food but more than that, was surprised to see Biryani in the menu.

Was not just the name but it really had a Lounge like experience.

Banking Hours Vs. Lunch Hours


Saw this in VimanNagar Union Bank branch, If banking time is 9.30 to 2.30 then why should they wait and lunch from 2.30 to 3.00 in the bank, instead go home and have it with the family.

Seconds after taking this picture of his smiling family outside his Manila home, in the early hours of New Years day, councilman Reynaldo Dagsa was shot dead.Seconds after taking this picture of his smiling family outside his Manila home, in the early hours of New Years day, councilman Reynaldo Dagsa was shot dead. The police did not have to look far for evidence of the killer’s identity. The assassin and his accomplice had inadvertently been photographed in the background of the last image taken by the politician—his gun directly aimed at his victim—from behind a parked car, the barrel highlighted by the camera’s flash.

Foodinn – VimanNagar

Food-inn at VimanNagar opposite to Reliance Fresh is a 6 years old deli which has been recently taken over and run by 2 software engineers.

First time I went to eat in this neighborhood restaurant I had least expectation  of the taste and menu I obviously must have misjudged by the size of the kitchen but was amused to see the range in the menu, was skeptical about the taste but then was very happy and became kinda regular customer, its not only the food, taste or price but also the team behind it, very friendly two young partners who become fast friends to all the customers most are students and professionals from nearby college and firms, most inspiring part is this is run by 2 young software engineers (Deepak & Unni) who have left their jobs to follow their dream.

Shisha Jazz Cafe, Pune

One of the best shisha hangouts I have been to, SJC in Koregaon Park is an unusual place to hangout with jazz and Afro-Latin sounds and world music. Authentic Iranian cuisine, as well as a good spread of Indian and Continental food and ofcourse Shisha (hookah).

Watch this 230-ton Airbus A330 Stopping In Midair for a Few Seconds

This is what happens when a 230-ton Airbus A330 has the right angle of attack, the right low speed and the right amount of head wind: it gets suspended in the middle of the sky for a few seconds.

It feels like it’s flying in slow motion, then it freezes for a couple of seconds and keeps moving in slow motion. The phenomenon has an easy explanation: the Airbus is making a very slow low pass, taking advantage of the very strong head wind combined with the minimun air speed and a high angle of attack to achieve lift for its flaps configuration (which is hard to see from the ground).

This produces extremely low ground speed, which results from the A330′s air speed minus the speed of the head wind. The combination of this ground speed and the A330′s size give the viewer the sensation of a plane almost frozen in midair.

Though I didn’t understand any of the above jargon but the video was scary, was wondering what kind of experience were the passengers going through.
