What is the meaning of JHAKKI?

Exactly NJ is pretty rundown state. That is why immediately after that, when we reached Reston there was a kinda big contrast and it looks so clean, with nice new glass buildings and nice homes and it looks like there is money. I have noticed that wherever desi people start living in majority that area becomes pretty rundown. In London, Glasgow, Birmingham etc., when the desi population starts to increase in one locality, everyone else starts moving out from there. In Glasgow there is an area called Pollockshields, it was built by Jewish people and you can tell by the size of the stone houses that once upon a time it was a pretty decent locality, eight bedroom stone houses and in late ’70s and early ’80s when the property value went down, those houses were sold for under 100K and desis started to buy on 10% mortgage, the Jews moved out from there to Whitecraig area and today the Pollock Shield houses are for almost a million pounds each and almost paid off. So, they refinanced their houses, took 50% of the value in cash and bought posh homes in Islamabad i.e., £500,000 or Rs. 500,000,000 enough money to spoil the market and they did. Some of the desi millionaires in £ sterling have started to move into Whitecraig area in Glasgow, so its gonna be another Pollockshields in the next two decades.

New Jersey is probably the worst state in the entire USA. Bad roads, old buildings, poor public facilities, so on. It’s an industrial wasteland where pharmaceutical companies dump all of their waste. I really can’t think of many good things except for Princeton, NJ, just about in and around the Princeton campus. NJ also incidentally has a large desi population, Edison, NJ, where people behave like they are in Mumbai or Karachi

Yeah I could see the quality of buildings and roads in Reston as compared to NJ and its Garden State Pkwy, which is so old and dilapidated and, we were on GS Pkwy during rush hour and got stuck for more than 2 hours to cover that 45 km stretch. Reston is indeed a neat place I kinda liked it. Lets move on from here to the new thread about match fixing and the appointment of more match fixers in the system i.e., Ijaz Ahmad and Wasim Akram.

I am in Vienna, VA, which is actually pretty close to Reston, but more closer to the Capital, about 12 miles. Reston is a neat little place as you said, and so is Vienna, Falls Church, Tysons Corner, all of which are around the DC Capital Beltway. We have a healthy economy here because of unique mixture of high tech companies and government contracting jobs, and of course the government jobs in DC.

We got it very bad this winter, had a 30 inch snow storm couple of weeks back, followed by several inches more couple of days before and after. Temperatures are what you would call moderate, around the freezing range to few below. This year, ironically, Canada winter and snow fall was milder compared to ours. This is like once in 10 year snow fall for us. Usually we get 3 to 4 inches of snow a few times during winter and that is about it.

are you in Reston VA? Which is very close to the Capital. During Christmas I was in Reston for a couple of nights and it seems to be a nice little place with all the hi-tec companies having their offices there. Btw, you guys have received a lot of snow this season? It appears that all that crap that we used to get between Christmas and St. Valentines Day dropped earlier on the way!

This is one of the mildest February winters that I have experienced here, with temp remaining between +3C to -6C and no snow ( may be a few inches once in a while ) normally it is between -20C to -35C and snow not inches but in feet.

Go and have some rest, you have one of the longest debates on LS avec moi it is almost midnight and I have to prepare my RRSPs so good night.

For your information, The Royal Victoria Hospital at McGill University campus is regarded as the best in the world for two faculties:

Neurology
In Vitro Fertility

Even the Americans come to study or work in these two faculties to specialize in their fields.

Think of this……….

The area of the former USSR is 22,402,200 km2 it had 13 time zones. Should they decide to stay in their own country, because they have everything?

The area of Canada is 9,976,140 Km2 which is the second largest country in the world area wise, should they decide to live in their own country and not bother about going out and seeing the world?

The area of USA is 9,826,675 km2 ………….. They decide to live in their own fools paradise and want to conquer the whole world ! There is certainly nothing wrong in this !
