Two Suns on June 21st, 2010
1st June, 2010 – the Whole World is waiting for……… ….
Star Aderoid will be the brightest in the sky, starting 10th June. It will look as large as the sun by naked eye. This will culminate on 21st June when the star comes within 34.65M miles of the earth.
Be sure to watch the sky on June 21st at 12:30 pm. It will look like the earth has 2 suns !!
The next time Aderoid may come this close is in 2287.
This is important information for anyone who was once an Indian citizen but now has naturalized or obtained other country’s citizenship. On June 1, 2010, the US government issued a new law requiring everyone to obtain a “Surrender Certificate” canceling their Indian passports (even expired ones) if there is no CANCELLATION stamp on your Indian passport.
Please read: http://news.rediff.com/report/2010/jun/02/citizenship-rules-changes-relief-to-indian-community.htm
For anyone who has obtained US Citizenship on or before May 31, 2010, you only have to pay $20 fee. All those who obtain foreign citizenship after June 1, 2010, your fee for obtaining Surrender certificate will be $175.00.
Travel will NOT be impacted. Anyone who already has an OCI card will not need to present a Surrender certificate at the consulate in order to travel to or from India. However, it seems like in the future, penalties will be issued for those who fail to obtain these Surrender certificates.
Everyone, please check your Indian passports to see if it was ever officially canceled.

a wildfire started in our town 2 days back and it is terrible, having destroyed over a dozen million dollar mansions on the top of the hill. Firefighters are working round the clock trying to combat the fire, I am safe and things should return back to normal by the weekend, here are some photos taken by my friend Corina.
may peace be with all!
what happened over the past 3 days was absolute mayhem and my sympathies, condolences and salutes to the people who fought to end this…
