View more pictures of Leonardo Dicaprio
One of the biggest movies of this year is going to be Leonardo Dicaprio's J Edgar, a movie on the creation of the FBI and its founding Director J Edgar Hoover. Hope the movie is a cracker. Leonardo is playing the 'J Edgar' himself. And the movie is being Directed by Clint Eastwood - i am sure this is going to get quite a few oscar nominations! The release date has been set to November 9, 2011, so there are still two months left.

Images of New York City (china town, battery park city) Post Hurricane Irene
So hurricane Irene made landfall today (sunday) in New York City. Classified as Category 1, it was expected that Irene might do so extensive damage. However, it seems that the mighty hurricane decided to spare much of manhattan, and the greater city in general. Even though significant damage was report, Manhattan was pretty much spared. In fact we went for a post landfall survey today between 1 to 4 pm visiting areas in chinatown, the FDR, the south street seaport, staten island ferry terminal, battery park, world trade center and then back up to Nolita. The assessment was overwhelmingly positive - that city had hardly been ravaged by the nighty Irene. In fact, barring some tine puddles of water, a few scattered branches and the general emptiness, the aftermath was markedly unnoticeable
Here are some pictures of the Post Irene scene in New York City

2. Scattered Branches on Allen Street in Chinatown
3. A Fallen Bike near Chinatown
4. A manhole, possibly shifted by the might of Irene

Stood up by IRENE! What a runaway bride!
All of saturday till 6 am sunday morning we were anticipating that IRENE is about to hit with full force! What a let down - by 10 am after some bursts of heavy rain and some gusts of wind, there is no sign of IRENE left behind, at least in our neighborhood.
IT all gone - even the rain has dried up - got stood up by IRENE !
Anyways - it was good to have a day off and not having to worry about tomorrow. Well seems IRENE didnt want to mess with New yorkers and lost her vitality in the mid-atlantic area !
Here is the view from my window early morning sunday at 5 am when IRENE still had some spunk!
Here is the view from my window - at 1pm Sunday

Its been exciting to wait for the first hurricane hurtling towards New York City in living memory. Thanks IRENE, we needed a break from work and other mundane things of life. It feels like there is no worry for tomorrow! A friend and me even went driving out today to Cooney island, to Times Square! Though definitely not its usual, the city aint yet beat !
Enjoy!

More IMAGES - from the streets of New York as Hurricae Irene Calls In
This is why New York is the greatest city in the World. You wouldnt imagine to see this when IRENE is almost knocking on the city doors. As the whole country (even the world) is glued to their televisions to see the images of Irene, die hard new yorkers do what they do best. Enjoy every moment - in my neighborhood, even though it almost empty there are people who were out and about. But these three take the prize for the coolest !
Saw them on the corner of Mott and Spring street like 2 hrs ago - making merry and totally enjoying the first big showers of Hurricane Irene

Tim Cook Succeeds Steve Jobs as Apple CEO Today

Really sad to hear that Steve Jobs finally had to go. It seems his health has gone progressively worse leaving him no other choice but to resign as the CEO of the most admired, most innovative and the most wealthy (in terms of stock value) company in the United States!
Mr Tim cook who was formally the COO will succeed him as CEO. Jobs has simply been a gift to mankind and his exemplary feats are simply legendary. Wishing him the best of health as he battles pancreatic cancer

Tremors of Earthquake in New York City - Minutes ago
Labels:
nyc earthquake
Just felt the light tremors of an earthquake in New York City.
Instinctively checked twitter - and lo and behold people are tweeting that they felt the same.
I knew i was not losing balance when i saw the water in the tumbler ripple!
reports are that the Pentagon was been evacuated!
And i just dug up this report in the HuffPo published in Feb 2011 that New York City is due for a major earthquake. So is this tremor just a preview? The report was written by a seismologist at Columbia University

An experimental Summer Drink ... Actually Came out nice
I try to mix and match, even though i am not much of a cook. So a few days back on a hot summer sunday i thought of making a nice cooling drink.
So mixed up Khus, a green colored herbal drink popular in India. With some red wine and water. And there you have it... Lets call it the Khus-tini, perhaps?
My room-mate says it looks like an x-mas drink with the green and red!
