whats special with a car?

One of the beautiful opportunities I enjoyed was renting-out different cars for my weekend commutation!! Ok, whats special about that; the V6? 3L disp? BHP? No! The sound system!!

When I took some time to open-up the hood and examine the packaged components, but more likely to attract me is my own subject, the sound system. I have heard same tracks in all the huge varieties of sound repoduction systems. The Dodge Charger came with a bass-boost system, C300 came with a sweet-mellow system of a disco smiley, PT Cruizer was a notch of brightness and pale, the best one of all is the Chevy Tahoe, which came with the Alpine System and Bose Speakers!!

I enjoyed hearing my compositions and alternative mixes, learnt a lot of inner layers, that can be textured. I could clearly see the sonic-picture of my tracks. Not to forget, I heard the best mix of the world, Rahmanji's late-90s compositions. The Atmos, Bass & FM7s sounded like a blended cake in the Bose!! One thing I didnt try was hearing a Jazz Classic.

Why dont I get a Bose and hook to a Mac?

Burritos from Jalapino

Had lunch at this brilliant Mexican Restaurant, Jalapino (pronounced as [j]Alapino). I had Burrito, stuffed with chicken and roasted with cheese. It cost $7, with tips came to $9, but paid $10 for I carried no change. Dan took me to this place, introduced me to the wide-variety of mexican sauces. Already Frank’s Red Hot Sauce was in my purchase list, now some jalapinos added to. Jalapinos are basically chillies (pepper as called in US) from mexico, which are eatable, not like our mirchi. In Burrito, they blended the jalapinos in the tortilla (some kind of flour like our roti), with chicken pickings and nothing else, finely wrapped with cheese dressings. Wasn’t it tastier!! I never had Mexican food filled with Chesse! Last time when I had Mexican, I chose a a dry deep oil fried chicken with mexican dressings. The restaurant has a deep sense of music, for they played some tracks, which hit the same tempo, with same deep voice, with those signature mexican horns. I loved everything except the fact that I couldnt finish the coke!!

From Chennai to Chicago!!

I finally went to Chicago. The Commercial Capital of United States, Man, 91 skyscrapers all together!! 9 more under construction, 1 more taller skier is coming up, its gonna be close to 2000ft. I read a lot about the Chicago Skyline before being there, so that I make sure, I at least know what buildings am looking at, and a little history or importance of it. I had a goose-bump experience when I saw the Hancock building, AON tower, Trump Tower and Willies Tower. They have huge huge history and artmanship in them. The Hancock is not the tallest, but that’s a symbol of Global Commercialization. The millennium park is the podium of this man’s victory speech, after the fierce battle to the top, sternly devised with brilliant marketing, branding and iconization, the Barack Obama entity. The parking levels and loop trains are part of the oldest culture. Above all I could see the Sears Tower from my hotel room window, I slept on the couch and watched its illuminated spikes all night! Finally some Jazzy touch, I walked on the streets and watched the smokey streets which smelt iron and coffee. Surely I didnt go to any jazz show or met any jazz players, but experienced the deep silent old buildings where legends once played.
(For a building to be called as a Skyscraper, she should be min 500ft taller, its not an official definition but thats how those 91 buildings were called for)
