Finally in New York

V Ramasamy

After our visit to Niagara falls and Washington, we proceeded to the final leg of our tour, the dream city, the commercial capital of USA, New York. When we traveled from New Jersey to New York, we were stunned to see the beautiful sky line of New York city. Though I have seen this in so many Hollywood movies, yet to see in person is really awesome. New York City is the densely populated city in US. The icon synonymous with New York is none other than The Statue of Liberty. It was a gift from France to USA marking … Continue reading Finally in New York

Few thoughts over Australia Open 2022…..

V Ramasamy

This year Australia Open men’s final was the most memorable match I have ever seen so far. What a game ! Till the end not able to predict the winner. It was a surprise when young Daniil Medvedev took the first two sets. Third set was really a turnaround as Nadal broke the winning streak of Medvedev and retained himself in the contention. After that both the players showed extraordinary grit to fight each other tooth and nail to win the remaining sets. After watching their stunning performance I thought that who ever wins here, tonight the real winner is … Continue reading Few thoughts over Australia Open 2022…..

V Ramasamy

We are in the midst of pandemic. It started four months back, still we are not sure when it is going to end. No experts able to predict its behaviour. Our only hope is vaccine, we are not sure when it will come and also its efficacy.

So every one strictly followed the guidelines issued by WHO and it helped the world in containing the virus spread … Continue reading If we don’t change our attitude, the virus will win

India struggles to fight the pandemic

V Ramasamy

My previous article about India’s fight against Corona was written during Apr 2020, at the time India was doing extremely well by way of early lock-down with strict guidelines by the Government. People of India also supported the Government with their disciplined attitude and stayed at home to contain the spread of virus. The virus started spreading fast when India opening up the economy. Now India is at a place where no country would like to. Yeah India took 5th position among the worst hit countries by beating Italy and Spain. The only consolation is India’s mortality rate is still … Continue reading India struggles to fight the pandemic

After our Las Vegas visit we proceeded to Baffalo. Since there is no direct flight between Las Vegas to Buffalo, we took a flight to Charlotte and from there we took another flight to Baffalo. From Baffalo we proceeded to Niagara by road and reached Niagra around 3.30 pm. Our hotel was very near to the falls. It was drizzling and climate was so pleasant and we thought that it is the right time to see the falls. Our jaws dropped at the very sight of the falls. Wow it was absolutely stunning. I was not exactly sure what to … Continue reading Mesmerized by Niagara Falls!
