Dean Kamen and his mind-controlled prosthetic arm!

You know what, when I read this news in a tech blog, I was just wondering how the amputees will react to this news. Dean Kamen in Carlsburg, California has invented a mind-controlled prosthetic arm, which has come far from the prosthetic arm (like rugged claws) that are worn by the amputees at present. This arm has great sensitivity- moves much like a normal arm, great angular control , sensitive enough to pick a paper, wine glass and to grab a grape without crushing it! This invention is certainly a boon indeed for the people in need of it!

Flight to the US!

My husband had an intra company transfer to work in SFO! We had to relocate to the US. When we actually heard the news, we were excited, thrilled, happy, anxious ... all emotions exploding at the same time. We had carefully planned our move and as the date of journey approached, it was a mixture of everything. We had packed all our stuffs and had boarded the 12 -hour long non-stop flight to San Francisco, the excitement got to us and we became so impatient that we started to think, " Why can't we just apparate and disapparate to the place we wish?" Commonsense hitting us about the probability tending to zero in this case, duh! Our flight journey was a blend of excitement and boredom. We had travelled to a fair extent by now, that the flight journey has started becoming monotonous now-a-days. We had a brand new life in a brand new part of the planet, awaiting to teach us with brand new experiences , to embrace us with both hands!

First blog!

Hello to all who read this blog!

You will see some nasty, irritating, unpolished writing here on! I had lived in UK for sometime and has recently come to the US. Lotsa new experiences , everything new to get accustomed to , many new things to learn and will keep posting the differences when and wherever I find time. Just searching for a new job, that takes time.
