  • Tracking Mr. Santa Claus – List of all places he went in 2012

    Santa Tracker World View

    Updated on an hourly basis (till I sleep :P)

    Ever since I knew that Google teamed up with NORAD to come up with an online tracker, I wanted to see it. But it always has happened I have missed it. However this time, I had someone special remind me about it.

    The program began on December 24, 1955 when a Sears department store placed an advertisement in a Colorado Springs newspaper which told children that they could telephone Santa Claus and included a number for them to call. However, the telephone number printed was incorrect and calls instead came through to Colorado Springs’ Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Center. Colonel Shoup, who was on duty that night, told his staff to give all children that called in a “current location” for Santa Claus. A tradition began which continued when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) replaced CONAD in 1958. [From Wiki]

    This year NORAD choose to partner with Bing instead of Google to track Santa and Google instead has its own Santa Tracker.

  • Are we staring at a War!

    Is the War eminnent? Is it finally going to happen for sure?

    I think this would be the greatest blow to Humanity. Repeatedly, Pakistan has been reporting fencing its own teritory. Why is the country doing it even after claiming to be a responsible state?

    God, please eradicate Terror out of everyone’s mind. This is what I would wish for this Christmas and New Year.

  • Property Prices are going downwards, more and more…

    Just read in the news paper that Property rates went down to an alarming 33% for South Mumbai, considered Posh.

    Its good that it is really happening. But as mentioned in the previous post, I cannot see a common man benefiting from the discounts. Coz for him, to arrange for 6 crore INR would not be possible in this lifetime. Those developers who build Luxary flats are offering discounts, however those who have not developed luxaries around their flats are not changing the flat rates.

    Hope the things would change.
