Originally Astoria was known as Hallet's Cove. It is a small city in the neighborhood in the north wastrel corner of the borough of Queens on New York City. But it has no known-to-me connection with the project Astoria, which is released by Microsoft in Sep. 2007 as CTP. Project "Astoria" (Microsoft codename "Astoria") is developed to enable applications to exposes data as a data service that can be consumed by web clients within a corporate network and across the internet.

I never watch cricket match. Instead I am always interested in final results. Last Thursday, we have a party at Pebble Street. In the last hour of party, they broadcasted cricket match showing India batting. I had to watch the match. I really enjoyed excitement of people (I too was very excited) when India hit sixes. On Saturday I was little bit sleepless in the evening. I surf different channels but found nothing interesting. So I decided to watch India vs. Australia Twenty20 match. It was a good time pass. India got an easy victory over Aussies. Today, in the office, everybody was excited. People were saying that its an history. The fact was that India and Pakistan were face to face in the world cup final first time in the history of cricket. In India, India vs. Pak is always a very exciting phenomenon. And to add spices in it, it was World Cup final. India won last World Cup in 1983. So today history was going to repeat after 24 years. In such excited environment, I decided to watch...

Last week our project manager of FlairView, Kelly O'Brian and Tony Reeve flied from Sydney to New Delhi. There were some meetings and discussions in the agenda. They flied back on Friday. We celebrate a party at Pebble's Street, New Friends Colony. We had team meeting in after noon. In the evening, Rohit drove me and some other team members to Pebble's Street. Thanks Rohit. Pebble's Street is a great bar and restaurant. The two floors of it are properly decorated. We celebrated at first floor. The whole team of project Advantage was there at party. We drink, eat and dance there. The space was cozy but enjoyable. I don't drink so enjoyed Fruit Punch (mix fruit juice with vanilla) and Pineapple Sunshine. Both drinks were delicious. People were enjoying beer, whisky and vodka. Tony tried to shake his feet but music was too slow for him. Sometimes they play Hindi sings, which he could not understand. Kelly and other girls didn't dance at all. My team was very energe...
