Today, 1st August, being the FRINDSHIP DAY, convenienly falls on First Sunday of August every year,
here is an Album below to click, conveying a wonderful Thought on Friendship!- Courtesy- Friends of Thatha Patti Group of Yahoo!
Getting up today early in the Morning, the First & Foremost thought caught my eyes is another one, also in the Album from- The Friends of Yahoo - Thatha Patti Group!
With such Thought-Provoking words in Mind for ever to follow in our life,let us get into The Museum of Science, Boston with our Kids to unravel the Myseteries invented or discovered by our Ancestors./ Scientists!Whatever we enjoy, The Marvels of Science & Technology, due credit goes to them only!LET US SALUTE THEM ALL!
Photos taken inside the Museum will follow later.
Presently, we both are at Michigan enjoying the company of our Daughter's Family for the past two weeks, Last two Parts of Blog were infact made & issued from here only.
I could study the exposure of our Kids to the world of Wisdom at the close angles here right through our own Grand-daughters.Sky is the Limit for them!
I asked jokingly one Kid of 5 years old, on visit to her Home,
' Get ready to go with us to India where you can live with your Grand-parents'. She replied instantly,
'I like staying here better!'
When I started thinking her version deeper, I could study the depth of her Positive Mode of Mind-set!
Back now to the Topic of Science,US has been divided into Nine zones based on Time- Day & Night.By clicking the following links, we can get a better idea about it.

Asia, especially India, gains a lot, because of variations in Time between us & the US.As rightly said, When US sleeps, India works with Her huge Manpower at its disposal in fulfilling the Projects Offshore obtained from US. It yields large Amount of Foreign Exchange thereby boosting our Economy.
Any one travelling to US shall be familiar with the Time adjustments supposed to be made in his watch enroute for which Air-crew will be helpful.Even after being aware of it, at times, it misfires involving us forgetfully in tense-moments.
A friend of mine,on his way to Michigan via Chicago on Domestic Travels, was in a fix, sometime back being unaware of this time-difference..He was seen off by his Son promptly early morning from Massachusetts, the local time of which matches perfectly with Michigan but not Chicago, enroute!.Its local time was one Hour behind the others.Air-tickets displayed only the Local time but total time of travel was shown correctly.
In my friend's case, the Sender & the Receiver, both educated him well about all aspects except time-gap forgetfully.
My friend enjoyed the Hospitality of Air-crew, relishing Snacks &Drinks served by them for Breakfast.. Audio in flight was active & conveyed some message from Cockpit in American English which my friend just assumed that it is going to land at Chicago in time.He then noticed his watch showing around 08.30AM.He verified his Ticket for Arrival showing as 07.40AM.Something started revolving in his Belly.Are we late?
Puzzled somewhat, he was looking for answer from the crew but again the Amercan Accent played its trick Crew replied that about 35 Minutes are there left to reach. Since the connecting Flight to Michigan was at 08.35AM as per Ticket, my friend aked the Crew whether his Michigan Flight can wait for this Flight in case of its late arrival.Crew replied something which my friend failed to follow.Stout & Bulky Crew stature discouraged my friend to repeat his query, instead, forced him to assume again that due to bad weather, it was late by 30 Minutes. Crew was right considering theOne hour Timegap. Wife of my friend also encourged him by showing outside the window that the weather was too cloudy to land in time.Flight landed little late & my friend with his wife started rushing towards the Specific Gate from where Michigan flight was due taking off.He hurried looking for his flight timings in TV Screen, in case of late shedule, only to find later that it showed only the Timings of Arrival Flights.Then, they were rushing along the corridor of Arrival Gates only to find that Gates of Departure Flights just started then. Since their Departure Gate was at the end, it took some time more to reach where there was nobody & the Gate was found closed.They just assumed that their Flight had already left in time since their watch showed 09.08.They were looking for alternatives including their Checked-in Luggages.Then, they accidentally saw a digital clock near the Gate showing it was 08.08AM when their own watch was at 9.08..On query,a Passenger just arrived there, clarified the Mystery of One Hour Time adjustment. My friend therefore had enough time to board hi flight with 25 Minutes more left.Then it was Happy ending all the way & both relatives at either end cut a sorry figure., there was a great relief for all!
Back to you soon with Blog-15!
LONG LIVE OUR FRIENDHIP!
