Ok..I have heard cars clipping another car while reversing from a parking lot .but a plane???..well just that happened in my flight..out of ewr to Orlando..our flight clipped another flight wings while getting into the gate..wtf!!!! United Airlines
Landed in the new terminal A Newark Liberty International Airport and could not believe my eyes!..holy smokes..went from -100 to +100 in terms of looks, features, facilities, grandeur, space..bestbif the best. Well done!
I still marvel every time I pass thro immigration into US with #GlobalEntry card..10s total time to pass thro immigration counter. Over the years I have been on lines that takes 2hrs for immigrant lines to secondary inspection with AP card to now this Pure bliss TY GlobalEntry
It's TCS New York City Marathon weekend, after 7 year gap feels good to be back running the world's best marathon! Last time I ran NYC it was my first marathon. This will be my 11th. The excitement and nervousness is the same. One thing I know..it is going to be fun.
Mile 1: Just the start energy is enough to take one to mile 1..race hasn't yet started. Last 4 weeks has been brutal work travel with no runs.so I need temper expectations here..tcsnycmarathon
Mile 2: TCS New York City Marathon is quite simple as u should roll down the hill of verazzano bridge!..key is not to overexert now..btw the temperature is picking up..sun is out..eeks!
Mile 3: One Burrough done.(Staten island)..just 4 more to go..entered Brooklyn to lot of music and fun!..love it..TCS New York City Marathon
Mile 5: TCS New York City Marathon ..sun is out..one gel in..still in warmup phase..energy levels too much..need to slowdown else will get my rear end handed to me after mile 15..:-)
10K:TCS New York City Marathon warm up phase over..entire Brooklyn is out..so is the sun.Salt tabs and gu in..time to hunker down
Mile 11: It's going smooth till now..the energy is so awesome as always..trying my best to not speed up..I know the race has barely begun. Pain ahead! TCS New York City Marathon
Mile 19: In many ways..my real race is about to begin..I know lot of pain and pleasure awaits in the next 75mins or so..gulp!..TCS New York City Marathon
Finish Line TCS New York City Marathon .. An exhilarating experience right through. TY NYC, my wife Renuka Balaji and my family and ty all #RHWB volunteers for making this possible for me.. it was quite an experience #11 done! (Phone battery ran out.. posting late!) Onto the next one! 🫢
Everytime I enter the country with Global Entry I am amazed..5s, facial recognition and u are into the country. Not too long ago 4 me this was a 2 hr process w/advanced parole and secondary inspection. Sometimes we should learn to enjoy good things life offers!..TY Global Entry
