Canada Olympic park

Last sunday me and my roommate venki planned to visit the canada olympic park. We took the CTrain from Southland LRT station to Brentwood and got the route no. 408. We went around the park.It was kind of fun and exciting to be in a spot where once winter olympics had taken place.

Well, at the same time it was a bit disappointing that we were there on off-season.So no snow, no events. But still the place was really worth spending some hours and getting an experience of what it is like to be in a olympic plaza. At the beginning there is this stage where the huge olympic torch used to burn. Then we entered into the museum, there was a mini speech by a volunteer in an auditorium on how the winter olympics was formed and how it came to calgary.Then there was an interesting video for about 30 mins with selected clips from various events.

Once the presentation was over the volunteers escorted us and explained various minute details in the museum. We had a great moment too, when we could get a snap of standing on the podium with olympic medal :).

Then we went on to look in to various places where different sports like luge, skiing, ski jumping etc., used to happen. Especially the starting point for ski- jumping is a 90 metre tower on top of a hill. It was tough trekkin on the hill to see the ski jumping centre with the cold wind blowing along the luge trail.But i swear the breath taking view from the top of the ski jumping centre was worth it. May be we should plan to revisit after Mid- may when winter events will start.

Infosys chief's interview

Here is a great interview from the chief mentor of infosys Mr.N.R.Narayan Murthy on Infosys completing 25 years. Its really great to hear the words of a great man. Every line he speaks is a gem to treasure and full of knowledge. The most important thing to note is despite achieving great success he is so humble and still has lot of energy and he is raring to achieve greater heights.Really inspirational.

Rains

Rains are always fascinating thing. After a long cold spell of frustrating snow and chillness,last week we had some sun last week. It was a refreshing change, and unexpectedly since yesterday it has started drizzling with light rains. It was the first rain of the season. Usual expectation from a first rain would be to enjoy the smell of the mud! But some how i could not feel that smell here, may be due the dampness alread present due to snowing.

Right from childhood rains have been welcome change.Its a great feeling to curl around the couch on a rainy day and munch on a bunch of onion pakoras(a south indian snack) and whatch cricket or tennis.Having a hot coffee is great too. Drizzling is what i like the most. To walk on drizzling in an isolated place where there is no traffic, is like reading a poem. Some things in life hardly change.This is one of those feelings.

Avant browser

Recently found this cool browser, that has lot of good features. Especially the most important feature i liked is having "N" instances of browsers inside one window and the ability to minimise everything to one icon in taskbar. This really useful to me, since im always used to keeping open a lot of windows.
