Roads in Gurgaon

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Just like in Matrix with respect to the spoon…
There are no roads.
Basically it’s just an illusion that we have that we drive on roads. We don’t.

HTC: Please bring the Google G1 to India UNLOCKED

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

HTC is launching the Google G1 mobile phone in USA next month. Europe gets it in November. Asia? No clue.
I expect HTC to bring this phone to India sometime next year. But considering they have been sleeping with Airtel since some time now, they would bring it all locked up.
I wish they could bring this [...]

DHBVN finally has computers!

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

They feed the data in the computer and print a small message on the bill as a receipt. No stamps and no signatures.
However, they still do not accept [...]

Taare Zameen Par for Oscar

Shah Rukh Khan! I had no idea about this upcoming movie. The storyline sounds pretty crappish. I expect it to be but for Irrfan Khan…

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Just came back from Mother Dairy and realized that they have again hiked the price. The full cream milk comes at Rs. 26 per liter.
I think the last time I was buying milk for the house; I was paying around 20-21 bucks for it. When I was a kid, it was probably around 12-14.
We [...]
