 A few days ago I was ruminating about myself being Lahiri
and tried to identify which Lahiris made the cut in this world.A few names came
up in my mind but I felt two persons are
ahead of all ,Yogi Shyamacharan Lahiri and the Pullitzer winning author Jhumpa
Lahiri.Shyamacharan was distantly related to my family and his grandson once
visited our house when I was young.About the other one I wanted to know and I ordered from flipkart .com her prize
winning book Interpreter of Maladies.
As I waited for the book to reach me I went on to gather as
much information I could from her interviews,reviews of books and of course
wikipedia.

 Introduction : At the very beginning I must tell you that I am an amateur
astronomer and have no pretensions to know astronomy at any great depth, though I have made a post before on astronomy called " Amateur Astronomy,Infinite Entertainment ".This
article should have been titled Beginners Star Gazing but I have included a few useful astronomical information’s (for a layman)and hence the title.
Almost everyone of us at some point of time looked at the sky and watched the stars, the sun and the moon and wondered what they are in actuality.
That wonderment in my case has lead to many questions and view the sky more closely. It started accidentally one night when I could watch the sky with a telescope and found the sky an amazing place of infinite beauty and mysteries.

 Passion of photogtaphy was in me from very childhood. After using some cameras like Mini Queen etc. my father bought me my first SLR camera which was Russian made Zenith. Used it mostly when I used to go to tours with my parents. One thing always bugged me was the shutter lag. Later I bought Fuji Finepix S1500. I still faced the saem problem other than very good picture quality. Though another problem was low light performance of the camera. Specifically in dusk and under flash when the object is far away from my camera. So this time my criteria was low shutter lag, good performance under low light and high spped photography like high burst rate.

 Yesterday I have visited CC2 after the opening on last saturday. Thought this
is the right time to visit and capture images of the mall before it
becomes crowdy on coming days. Took the other route from Saltlake side
and reached the place. The entrance and the basement parking facility are spacious
and huge. May be its because of the early days and crowd is very less.
Still I comfortably able to park the car with my very
in-experienced driving and parking skills. For your information the parking charge is free. Don't know how long this facility will be available.

 I had a LIC Money Back policy which was done by my parents to save
income-tax 12 years back. As the agent was not known to me and lives far away
from my home, we were never in contact with that person after my father's
demise. But I kept paying the premium online in time . When I received the
letter from LIC on policy maturity, I found the main document required for the
whole procedure is the policy bond itself is missing.

 Cars are something I was always passionate for from my very childhood. So when I finally got enough encouragement from my mother I started figuring out which car will fit my budget with maximum power under its hood. I was looking for a small but a powerful car to have the provision of speed on the highway when required with good mileage.
