Free of Sins?

Monday, November 29th, 2004

No work done in the last 2 days considering I had to go to Haridwar yesterday for a family function. Took a dip in the Holy Ganges and if I am to believe ancient Hindu mythology, I am free of all my sins.
As for Har ki Pauri… it was a mess. More beggars than [...]

Koffee with Karan sucks. So does Karan Johar

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

Well. Let me clarify something. I have nothing against Karan Johar or any other individual. Everything written here is personal opinion and nothing is aimed to defame anyone.
I like expressing myself. This is just another post for the same reason. Oh yea, Shah Rukh Khan sucks as well… And Kareena Kapoor. And Hrithik Roshan. [...]

Opera Software ASA: You Rock!

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

After almost 2 years of using it, I finally own a copy of Opera Browser. Was planning to buy it myself in a couple of weeks (waiting for my credit card) but today when I checked my mail, I got a surprise. Opera’s marketing team had a message waiting for me interested in gifting me [...]

Pogo and Cartoon Network

Friday, November 26th, 2004

These two channels are becoming the third and fourth most visited channels on my TV Set. First two are obviously Star World and Zee English. My favorite shows on Pogo and Cartoon Network? Gilligan’s Island, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat, Mr. Bean, Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo and so on…
On the other hand. Star World actually [...]

PS2 dream in Drains

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004

I have avoided it for almost 5 years now, but PayPal is forcing me to get a credit card. And since I do not have a regular job, in spite of the fact that my 4 years old bank account in ICICI never went below the limit and I have been a big user of [...]

Cricket Controversies

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2004

I was watching this cricket discussion on television on the topic whether Saurav Ganguly should be replaced as the captain of the Indian cricket team or not. Well, I normally do not comment about cricket considering my knowledge of the game is limited to being a fan of the Australian Team especially when they are [...]

India: From a land of Snake Charmers to Job Stealers

Monday, November 22nd, 2004

I was watching this episode of The Sopranos where Tony Soprano starts talking to his daughter (Meadow Mariangela Soprano) about her school subjects. India pops up as one of the subjects. And dad says what do you study about India? Diarrhea?
What the hell! First India was known as a land of snake charmers and magic [...]

Koffee with Karan: Duh

Sunday, November 21st, 2004

Well. Let me clarify something. I have nothing against Karan Johar or any other individual. Everything written here is personal opinion and nothing is aimed to defame anyone.
I did manage to watch 10 minutes of the much talked about talk show with the famed director Karan Johar. But well, as I had expected it [...]

Superhero Movies

Friday, November 19th, 2004

Saw another superhero movie today. Superman II. This was my first for a Superman movie, which starred Christopher Reeves, and well, the movie was partially funny (considering the difference in technology) and partially awesome. I never actually knew what kind of movies they were and now I have a fairly decent idea. The movie had [...]

TechWhack got Slashdotted

Wednesday, November 17th, 2004

I got partially Slashdotted today with an article on TechWhack. Luckily, my post is thrown with lots of other good articles so the traffic load is minimal. Feels good… But… It does not exactly feel like the way I expected it to feel like.
