People get surprised and sometimes even laugh at me when I tell them I do not drink. “Try It”. Come on, “Try It Once!”. “Try It Just Once, You Will Love It”. “You Should Try It At Least Once In Your Life!” – my friends have tried it in several ways; but couldn’t get me to ‘try it’. The ‘bigger shock’ came to them when I tell them I don’t drink ‘soft drinks’ as well. “Come on dude, it’s just [...]
Boy! After having a great time in Tel-Aviv, our day #7 began with a visit to a Kibbutz. Imagine a colony of people who live together with a sense of equality – to the extent that they share cars, have exactly same houses and even share all of their income with the community. That is, if you make 20,000 shekels a month and live in a Kibbutz, you’ll have to share all of it to the Kibbutz. Every member family [...]
Before I begin telling you my experience of buying with “LetsBuy.com”, let me first show you my latest ultra modern Cisco E2000 Wireless-N Router, which I bought from LetsBuy.

Thanks to LetsBuy for offering me discounts and getting the product priced at Rs. 5899 just for Rs. 5310; not at all a bad deal! Blue [...]
Ever since the organizers of the Once In A Lifetime 2.0 trip to Israel informed me that we’re going to get a chance to drive the electric cars developed by an Israeli company called “Better Place” – I was waiting for the opportunity. After visiting the Rogozin School in Tel Aviv, we headed to the Better Place. We were welcomed by the company representatives who escorted us to a tiny movie theater inside the campus. We saw a short movie [...]
The day #6 of our 11 day, Once In A Lifetime 2.0 trip to Israel began with checking out of the ‘Crowne Plaza’ hotel and clicking photos with the manager of the hotel.

The film’s already won and Oscar for Best Documentary Short Subject. Here’s a trailer of the movie – [...]
To Keren, Ori, Omri, Tomer, Yevgeni, Mor, Mayan, Maya, Maxim, Liora, Keren-Or, Ilya, Hen, Ephraim, Dov, David, Aviva, Anat and Jonny Shalom! Few weeks ago, I received an email from Ori introducing the ‘Once In A Lifetime 2.0′ project. At first, I thought it was just another mail and almost hovered the cursor over the ‘delete’ button. It seems that destiny had something great planned for me and I decided to read the mail again and then replied to it affirmatively. [...]
First Impressions: One of the most exciting part of visiting Israel was our visit to the technology city of Israel: Tel Aviv. The city is officially called ‘Tel Aviv Yafo’ and it is known for all its high-tech companies. The city’s also the second most populated city in Israel. I was quite excited to visit Tel Aviv – because Israel has given many ‘first’ to the world in technology. Unfortunately, people don’t know what’s invented in Israel! On my way to [...]
The day #4 of our 11 Day “Once In A Lifetime 2.0” trip took us to the Golan Heights. One of the most exciting places to visit in Israel, because of the strategic importance of this place both to Israel and its neighbors. Take a look at following map and see the location of this place – Located in the north of Israel, the place is surrounded by Syria, Jordan & Lebanon which haven’t had good relations with Israel. While [...]
This is my 5th day in Israel and because of the busy schedule and limited connectivity, I haven’t been able to update the blog as frequently as I thought I would. But that does not mean you’re going to miss out on any update. Touring The Beautiful City Of Haifa Haifa is an amazing city and really beautiful. The first day was actually a ‘rest’ day for me and Chris as the other bloggers arrived late. Omry decided to take [...]
The Once In A Lifetime 2.0 trip to Israel has began. Upon receiving invitation from the organizers of the trip, I started exploring Israel online – checking out videos on YouTube, reading articles on Wikipedia and the posts written by the bloggers who were on ‘Once In A Lifetime’ trip last year. I decided to come to the country with a blank mind. I did, because I am trying not to be a part of an agenda – as one [...]
