Independence Day Fireworks and Shopping In San Francisco

This independence day long weekend, I along with my Shusmita and son Ahyan stayed overnight in San Francisco to watch fireworks and to shop in Union Square. My friend Nitol joined us at 4th July noon when we started in a relax mode. We reached Club Quarters in San Francisco (in Embarcadero) and parked my car in a nearby garage. Then we caught BART for shopping in WestField. In the evening we came back to Ferry Building to watch fireworks, but we couldn't watch well from there. So we started walking towards Pier 39 with Ahyan in Stroller. There we could watch the fires very closely. Ahyan was scared of the sounds and hence started crying loud. We finished our dinner just opposite to my office in market street and then Nitol went back to Fremont while we headed towards our hotel room.

The next morning we went to Naan N Curry in O'Farrell Street. Shusmita did a lot of shopping from Union Square and we returned Fremont in the evening.

It was a pleasant short vacation and my wife is more inclined to rent in San Francisco for 6 months or a year. :-)

Epic 8-Day Road Trip Adventure to Far Horizons

  Greetings, fellow travel aficionados! Get ready to be swept away on an exhilarating ride as I recount the incredible tale of my 8-day road trip in my Tesla Model S spanning over   5700 miles   across the captivating landscapes, magnificent national parks, and cherished memories. Join me as we delve into each day's highlights, from cascading waterfalls to towering summits and everything in between. A little context before you think why I am in a lonely road trip during this summer. My son Ahyan went for a 3 weeks musical theatre summer course in UCLA where I dropped him 15th of July and picked him up from there August 5th at the end of this road trip. My wife Shusmita and daughter Suhaila went for a trip to Malaysia and Tajikisthan 14th July where my mother-in-law joined them from Bangladesh for the Maylasia part of the trip. Shusmita and Suhaila will be back 7th July while I needed to stay within USA boundary just in case Ahyan needs something.  Day 1: Speed and Na...

Places to visit in or near San Francisco Bay Area

I love to roam around San Francisco Bay Area, its an amazing place to do so. Here is a shortened list among many thousands of great places to go here. Fisherman's Wharf , Pier 39 and Ghirardelli Square , covering about half a dozen blocks along the waterfront, constitute much of the stereotypical San Francisco image and together are perhaps the most popular things to do in San Francisco. Tourists walking here are entertained by street performers and tempted by souvenir shops and restaurants. The Golden Gate Bridge is an engineering marvel. Not only is it one of the city's most enjoyable things to do, but it's also one of the most-photographed sights in the world. A walk on it is a must. Alcatraz , the former prison, wasn't always a place people wanted to go, but today it's one of the city's most popular sights. Reserve your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. Union Square , one of the city's three original parks, is now a public space atop a multi...

Victory Over Half Dome of Yosemite

Hereby I declare victory over the Half Dome! Finally we did it. I, Shahriar and Nitol succeeded in our mission to hike Half Dome of Yosemite in the first weekend of October and we finished the hike in less than 13 hours despite facing a long wait time in the cable to ascend on top of half dome. We have taken a  lot of preparation  before going to this hike. We are relatively new hikers (specially I was the last person on planet earth to get involved in any kind of physical activities or sports) and hence those preparations made good sense. Before I tell more about myself, I should tell a little about my 2 co-hikers in this trip - Shahriar and Nitol. Quazi Shariar Rahman (Sujan) is an Electrical Engineer in Cadence Design in Sillicon Valley, the first Bangladeshi batch mate whom I came to know in California by chance more than 3 years ago. He is a guy with sheer interest on physical activities and sports. He is a good soccer player, runner, table t...
