Yesterday , after a day long meeting at the Manhattan Head quarters, we headed to Times Square for dinner. This is one place in the world where you realize that some spectacles make life worth living. – the vision of the Taj Mahal in Agra is another such place.
Times square has a dream like quality. The flashing neon and plasma screens create a heightened visual experience that almost borders on an out-of-body feeling. You can almost sense the gaiety and joie de vivre in the air.
The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company was a favorite of my host and so we went there. The restaurant has an incredible view of the Times Square ( pictured above)and then , lo and behold, it started snowing! The flashing lights gave color to the slowly drifting flakes of snow. Later we walked in the rain and snow to Penn Station to take a train into New Jersey. I could see cars parked at train stations being covered up by snow- it was a surreal sight.
Today, at day break, I opened the blinds of the window at home to watch the scene. My car was under almost 5 inches of snow. So, scrapper in hand, I went to work and cleared the snow from the windscreen , rear glass and roof. It was not as diffuclt asI had imagined it would be. I ran the engine and heater for around 15 minutes and I was ready to go to work.
My office has a lovely view. See a picture above of what I saw at 9 am on December 17, 2008.
