Me in the Park!

One of the my most memorable holiday - was last year. I spent about 6 weeks in the US and travelled along the East Coast. I was based in NJ, so have extensively travelled NY City. I visited Philadelphia, Boston, Syracuse, and around. This picture was taken by my wife, Joy, in the park just outside Liberty Bell next to the Independance Hall.

First Post

Hi,
Im going to use this blog site as an opportunity for me to share some of my thoughts, views, observations about life, people, work and home. Im also going to write about my weekend travels, post pictures.

Its going to be an effort to write regularly considering the limitations of time, but Im going to make an honest attempt of being regular and not missing out on interesting stuff.

This blog is mainly for me to record a lot of my thoughts, and I would welcome readers of this blog to post comments.

Cheers - Niket
