Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix

I got to see a free preview of "Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix" (Courtesy our realtors "Corus Home") . We have now seen atleast 4 box office hit movies ,thanks to them .

Harry and friends are now ( well grown up ) teenagers and they fight the death eaters (including You know who) to get the prophecy back. Malfoy does not have much of a role to play in this movie and so does Snape . Also I was waiting for a quidditch match and the movie did not have one . But it turned out all exciting at the end when the select few of Dumbeldores army try to acquire the prophecy and fight all the obstacles . I really wish Harry had killed Bellatrix , but I think in most probability she will be killed by Neville .

All in all a good movie that can be seen once.

Pratibha Patil (WHO ??? ) to be our president

Is our country in dearth of eligible people to be our next president . I am all for a lady president , but Pratibha patil. She is crores of rupees in debt , helping her brother who is a murderer. Also she was an accomplice to Sanjay gandhi during the emergency when he carried out the forced sterilization programs. She is going to have a gala time with her family in Rashtrapati bhawan

We will have two puppets at the top and Sonia ji rules . I am surprised how this supposedly meek lady has turned out to be a shrewd politician .

15 days backs all the USICS date for the Employment based categories were recent. Hundreds and thousands of people went about getting their forms filled, taking vaccinations ( costing between 500 to 700$)etc. Some people took off from work for a week to just finish this thing .
For consultants it means loss of pay .Some people postponed their vacations too, since applying for 485 requires all applicants to be in the US.

Today was the D-day for applying and what do we hear in the morning ? No more applications are accepted .
.

Not sure why they they made the status current for all employment based categories and why they took so long to release the information that no more applications can accepted .

What a waste of time and money.
