Louisiana Draws the Line on ADS-B Billing

What if a technology designed to save lives quietly became a tool to collect money? Louisiana has just taken a stand—and the rest of the aviation world should be paying attention. For years, ADS-B has been promoted as one of the biggest advances in aviation safety. It allows aircraft to broadcast their precise position, altitude, speed, and direction, giving pilots and air traffic controllers far better situational awareness. It is a safety tool—not a luxury. Now, there is some encouraging news from the United States. Louisiana has officially become the third U.S. state to ban the use of ADS-B flight data for billing aircraft owners. The move follows similar legislation in North Dakota and Montana. The concern is simple: ADS-B was introduced to improve safety, but in some places the same data has started being used to generate landing or airport fees. Many pilots and aviation organizations, including the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), have argued that this creates the w...

7 of 10 for Cafe 21 Restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib

Raise your hand if you don't like to eat out!

If anyone claims to be so, than it is certainly not true, for there wouldn't be so many restaurants coming up.

I don't remember a weekend when me and my wife had food at home!

Well, it is certainly nothing to be proud of, but this is how we are.

This past weekend we camped at Cafe 21 restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib to subside our hunger for diverse food.


 After juggling through the menu we picked up two items, this is a drill in which 99% of the time I come first. I should say my wife come second, not the last, to avoid her from obvious shame!!

Anyways, we picked up a paneer grilled taco and veg. burger.


 So after ordering the stuff it barely took 5 minutes for the first dish to arrive on our table. I would call this ETA to be under standard test conditions as there was none else dining at that time.

The first item to come on our table was the veg burger, and I must say that I liked how it was served.

I mean the plate was cute and sweet. I didn't asked my wife's opinion on this, but I am sure she will be in agreement, or else she must have said something.

The plate was in the shape of a pearl shell, I may be missing the exact term but this is some sea stuff.


 The burger tasted good, the bun was not hot, the patty inside was appropriately hot and the dressing inside tasted good as well.

Most restaurants here heat about the bun as well as they prepare the burger, which I am sure is technically wrong.

I bet McDonald's would be highly disappointed when they see these local versions of the burgers!

I must add here that before coming to this restaurant I had already eaten chole bhature at Yadav at Shri Anandpur Sahib.

Well, to tell you a small tale, I wanted to have chole bhature but my wife to have something else. 

So, my tummy was already full, still the food tasted good, even though I was not completely hungry.

The second item to arrive on the table was the paneer grilled taco, and here is how it was presented.


Nice, 10 on 10 for presentation, that plate though resembled some sea being, looks like the owner of the restaurant had a liking for sea creatures.

The black shell shaped plates, with paneer grilled taco wrapped in an aluminum foil. The whole arrangement was appealing to look at.

I was kind of bit disappointed with the taste though, as it was little bit sweet. Probably, the taco's are made this way, which is something not to my liking.

Anyways, I found a way out for this sweet tasting paneer grilled taco, that is, I squeezed some ketchup on the plate and sprinkled some seasoning on it.

When I had the taco with this arrangement it subsided the sweet tasting sauce that was used in it.

Thankfully, my wife did not had any complaint with the sweet taste of the taco, or else I would have to swallow the whole taco by myself.

Overall I would rate 7 of 10 for Cafe 21 restaurant at Shri Anandpur Sahib.

And this place is worth paying another visit.

The Case of the Yellowing iPhone Cover: A Tragicomic Tale of Protection and Discoloration

 Ah, the eternal struggle of the iPhone owner! We want to protect our precious, ever-so-expensive devices, but at what cost? For some, it's the indignity of hiding that sleek design behind a bulky, opaque case. For others, like our intrepid reviewer, the choice is clear (pun intended!): transparent covers! Our hero, a connoisseur of the visible iPhone, embarked on a quest for the perfect clear case for their iPhone 13. After much deliberation and likely a few hours of Amazon scrolling, they settled on the "Solimo TPU Transparent Mobile Soft & Flexible Shockproof Back Cover with Cushioned Edges for iPhone 13- Clear." A mouthful, yes, but at a princely sum of INR 170, it seemed like a steal! The initial honeymoon period was glorious. The iPhone's true colors shone through, unfettered by the tyranny of solid plastic. The cushioned edges, like tiny, vigilant bodyguards, stood ready to thwart any accidental drops. And indeed, they did! Our reviewer recounts a series of...

The Illusion of Order: When 'Civilized' Means 'Sterilized'

 I remember my first visit to the United States over a decade ago. Landing from my small, bustling hometown of Meerut, India, I was instantly awestruck. The silence, the systematic flow of traffic, the lack of honking—it was a world engineered for flawless human convenience. Everything was neat, clean, and in order . For nearly a year, I was hypnotized. I praised this country for its efficiency, its cleanliness, and, notably, its lack of stray animals . Where were the dogs, the cows, the insects that are a normal part of life back home? The US, I thought, was truly a superior model of civilization. My clothes never even collected dust; it seemed the entire landscape was sterilized. But as the years passed, the hypnosis began to fade. I started asking a darker question: What is the price of this perfect order? The Cost of the Empty Road My initial praise for the US was based on what I didn't see: no stray animals, no swarming insects, no dust. I realized this absence wasn't a s...
