We finally managed to buy the speaker's that were on my wishlist from a long time!! I cannot say how excited i am at having these babies sitting in my home. They are one of the most beautiful speakers that i have ever seen and heard. We also managed to get a really good deal on them as they guy i bought them from needed to sell them to change his system.
Ah.. in all this excitement i haven't even mentioned the speaker type.. we've bought a pair of Danish made DALI Helicon 400's along with the matching Center Channel model C-200 in rosenut finish. Since these are 4 ohm speakers and my receiver's (marantz) amplification is for 6-8 ohms i won't be able to drive these with it as i was hoping.. so ill have to find a decent stereo amp to drive it once we can get some funds together. I'll post up some photo's of these babies as soon as i can.

Looking forward to
There are quite a few things that im looking forward to currently in life..
First of course there's our little one due on 1rst November. Myself and Shweta are very anxious about it as the date draws closer. This being our second one though helps a bit, since we have gone through this whole process before. We just hope she's not delayed in arrival like Simar was 2 weeks late.
Next i'm looking forward to adding some new high end speakers to our home. A few months back we had extensively demo'ed some high end speaker offerings from Dali, B&W, Sonus-Faber, Dynaaudio, Theil, Ariel etc. and had finalized upon the Dali Helicon's for the home theater we plan to build in our basement. But as luck would have it we ran out of funds due to the new home etc.
But now Dali is going to upgrade that particular speaker line and up its cost by a considerable margin so Shweta has agreed to my proposal of getting them at a cheaper price while we can :) Let's see how this develops..
Then there's the studio lighting we ordered last week so that we can take some family photos at home and setup a temporary studio in the basement or one of our spare rooms. Since i've been mostly involved in landscape shooting i'm interested and excited to see how this would turn out. It sure would be a bit of learning process but i'm confident of picking up the technique's of studio lighting quickly since i've dabbled a bit in it before. The equipment arrives on monday via UPS so i'll be waiting :)

Ah.. finally i manage to post again on my blog after forgetting it exists all together :)
It's mid October, fall is almost in full bloom here in Nashua. October chill has also set in. There's beauty all around, just wish i had some landscape subject's to shoot with my camera. I'm too lazy to go hunting around for photo op's these days and i really donot want to go out and shoot fall colors again this year just for the sake of it.
I had a lovely ride on the Rocket to work today morning in the fog. The misty weather brings out the contrasts in the leaf colors fully and they just pop out at you. GOD is a wonderful creator of all things.. thats what i think everytime i see the beauty around me. I also thank him for giving me the chance to witness and experience it as well.
On another note, we(Shweta and I) are very anxious these days about our second child and when she's arriving. We already had 2 false calls of labour and went to the hospital the first time too, only to find that the contractions stopped as soon as we reached the hospital :)
We still haven't finalized the name for the baby girl either.. its a toss up right now, i do prefer Iresha as a name and so does Shweta, but her brother and mom aren't so sure of it. Oh well, if nothing else comes up that catches our fancy, Iresha it would be :)
There are a couple of other things happening in life too that ill try and post in the next blog!
Adios Amigos!
