Of losing weight and some common sense

Sunday, September 26th, 2004

So, dad managed to gather some courage and sit on my motorcycle’s backseat to go for a hair cut at VLCC (Vandana Luthra Curls and Curves!) with me. Yeah, they do men’s hair too… Came as a shock to me too. And while I was waiting I had the misfortune of hearing conversations between a [...]

Ab kya kahen…

Hmm… I wrote what I felt about Firefox and it got me some brickbats and some bouquets. And in the it just turned out great in a way that I got onto the Mozilla Homepage. And to top it all, the number of hits that the post got took my referral hits to a [...]

I have not gone out since so many days now… I am definitely going out to see “The Village” today… No matter what happens…

I made it to Mozilla.org Homepage! :D

Choosing a cool domain name

Tuesday, September 14th, 2004

Is like choosing a name for a child. Ok, this only applies for people like me (web g33ks) for we sort of treat websites like children (I am not married nor have kids, so won’t use ‘my children’ here. Dunno how I am gonna treat my own children… God help those poor souls)… The only [...]

Sushubh sounds like a normal name?

Monday, September 13th, 2004

22 years I have had this name. And all these years, I never found anyone else having this name (except for someone who had this as the second name as per Google and its malicious crawlers). Many people have actually told me that they have heard of this name and even met someone with this [...]

Politeness Pays

I went to see I, Robot today. Yeah yeah, Old movie, but released in Chandigarh today. The last movie I saw was Spiderman 2 and resulted in me cursing PVR Europa… So it was long time without any movie outing. And like always, I was late for the movie… drove like a maniac to the [...]
