25th Birthday - Silver Jubilee

Today is our house's 25th year birthday ... well it has been 25 years since we conducted "Gruhapravesham" (house warming) of our dearest house in Mysore. The day is still fresh in my memory. It was such a beautiful feeling we had as a family ... owning a house .. our very own abode.
Many many special memories attached to this lovely place since that day.

Happy Birthday to my very own haven.

Capitol Vs Capital

As I was following the Inauguration, the headlines in newspaper said "Trump heads to Capitol" .  Something about the spelling felt wrong... I realized I had learnt to spell it as "Capital" and concluded spelling mistake in the newspaper.
 But as I followed the news in other websites / new papers found it was indeed "Capitol".
Curiosity got the better of me and I searched wiki.
Definitions are:
Capitol : capitol is a building in which a legislature meets
Capital :
  • Capital city, the area of a country, province, region, or state, regarded as enjoying primary status, usually but not always the seat of the government

Jet Airlines and Lexus Car

Jet Airlines is canceling its flight between San Francisco - Mumbai beginning Jan 09.
I remember the end of May when my cousin had excitedly told us how decent the flight fair was from SFO to Bengaluru. She was visiting India with her family to conduct the marriage of her first daughter. She had several expenses to take care of and so the low Airline fare proved a boon to her. She mentioned that during the promotional 3-day period, they had managed to get 5 tickets for the price of 3 tickets had they travelled by their regular Singapore Airlines. The prices sounded so tempting, I wanted to book tickets to India immediately ... didn't matter that our plan of visiting India next year was still in not solid. Our neighbors booked flight on Jet Airlines as well. They sent that their experience was not bad at all. The baggage restriction on the flight was reasonable as well.
So we had almost made up our mind to fly via Jet Airlines during our next trip to India. The only hitch was that we had to change airports in Mumbai ... but we were ready to take up that challenge.
Now the flight is being cancelled ... guess without shedding the extra bucks we are not destined to make our India trip :))

On a different note, did you know that there are self parking cars? Apparently Lexus offers this as an optional feature in one of their sedans.
