First day without a job in a long time is very eventful

Friday, April 30th, 2004

Even though I slept through most of it, few interesting things happened! My dear friend Ankur is back online after almost a month spent on bed after an accident. Google goes public and I got into GMail! And I am no longer feeling guilty of being an ass in the hand of bloody Americans! No [...]

Is India going to another Kesari-Third Front political era?

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

The predictions about the great Indian Elections 2004 are throwing couple of surprises. Latest exit polls show NDA suffering badly compared to the older polls. But they still are expected to turn out as the alliance with the most number of seats. But since all the other parties at the moment are members of secular [...]

Delhi Public School Pinjore advertising on Google!

Sunday, April 25th, 2004

Indian companies are participating actively in Google’s Adsense program which is pretty interesting because if the target audiences are Indian people then the outcome may not be that profitable. First, Indians don’t click on ads. If they click, they rarely click to buy stuff. And if they do buy? Well I am not sure Indians [...]

Ignorance of the law is no excuse for doing illegal stuff

Sunday, April 25th, 2004

So, people feel syndicating news without having written permissions from the original source is wrong and illegal. I bet if it was to be taken seriously… 80% of the bloggers will be in jail. the rest 20% blogs of course are 1 post wonders.
So, people think downloading MP3s of the net (from sources like Kazaa [...]

Lakshya Audio CD? My suggestion is do not buy it.

Saturday, April 24th, 2004

Why? Because it’s one of the rare CDs that comes with copy protection. And pretty advanced one at that. The problem is that you cannot play it on PC, let alone record it as MP3 for your own listening pleasure. Because SONY thinks, every one of us who buy the CD has malicious intents and [...]

Why not Internet Explorer?

Friday, April 23rd, 2004

If you are one of the lost souls who visited this page curious to know why this site looks trash in your web browser, then perhaps you are using one of (or the latest in fact) version of the very famous browser called Internet Explorer.
And if you saw the site in its full glory [...]

I am lovin’ it!

Friday, April 23rd, 2004

2 months in Chandigarh or should I say Panchkula and I am seriously loving it. Went to Sukhna Lake today and it was amazing. The way the city beautiful has been planned and maintained is amazing. In comparison Delhi is a sham…
I don’t want to think of the day I would have to shift back [...]

My trip to Delhi, something about Booze, long journeys and more!

Monday, April 19th, 2004

Went to Delhi this weekend again. Last trip was painful so had planned it a bit more properly. Just 1 outing that was pretty decent. And slept a lot. And since I am typing at 2:20 am on Monday morning, I guess I am ruining the rest I got during the weekend. Got a second [...]

Am I becoming a Super Hero?

Monday, April 19th, 2004

ElectroMan perhaps. My room is full of electronic and wireless gadgetry which would be generating an awesome lot of magnetic/electric field around me. Perhaps that’s the reason for my lack of sleep. And my parents cannot stay in my room for long even though it is pretty organized by my standards. Also I have been [...]

ICICI Bank :: At this moment we only support Internet Explorer

Wednesday, April 14th, 2004

Life is tough. If it is not the government with its taxes, it’s the banks with their awful interest rates and policies. Just received my quarterly statement from the ICICI Bank. And since I added the extension (sabki leta hai) to my Blog title, I thought why not do a post (my style) on my [...]
