A walk down the memory lane

Today, I landed on Spring road in Ipswich, UK, and walked up and down the street until I reached the front of the house we stayed in 2006-07.

Hey, no! I am not on a tour of England. I am sitting at my house in Seattle! I am just looking at Google maps. Google maps is getting better every day.

Sitting at home, I could virtually walk on a road in UK. I could zoom in on the house, and see the the "For Sale" board in front of the house. Frasers Estate Agents Ltd, Queen Street, Ipswich, have put it up from sale. It seems they took it over from Paul West, the estate agent who dealt with the property when we were there. One fine guy he was - Paul West, unlike most of the real estate agents we met during our stay in Ipswich.

The house might have already been sold off, because what we see on Google maps is not a real-time image. We don't know when the photo was taken. Only thing we can tell is that the photo was taken on a Wednesday - it is evident from the the black garbage bin brought out from the backyard to the front of the house.

I wished I could walk up to the house and knock on the door, or take a peek inside! :-)

A satire too good!

Read this one: It's nobody's fault. Too good!!

An excellent article on how the evil nexus between politicians, bureaucracy and judiciary to protect the interests of the rich and the powerful has weakened Indian democracy.
