  • Update post

    Some updates on stuff that happened while I was gone.

    1. Most important – revived a friendship I think. Hope that this time it works better.
    2. Misra got promoted – Yay! I bet he has to treat.
    3. It is confirmed that Debo broke his leg.
    4. My knee is healing up.
    5. Albus Dumbledore is gay – Great!! Now I feel so weird about being rated as closest to Dumbledore on that Facebook app!! Maybe it is time to bid it farewell.
    6. Rediff copies the article blatantly – or almost. I know they do mention LA Times in passing, but try to pull off the whole thing as theirs! (removed after an email and IM discussion with Ojas and Amit Varma)

  • Daily WTF

    What’s the most romantic thing a guy has ever done for you?

    An ex-boyfriend helped me in waxing some parts so I could put on a very skimpy bikini.

    Also, an update on me. I am doing much better than before, and I would think that the knee is healing well. Thanks for all the emails and SMSes.

  • I hate Gurgaon traffic!

    Two accidents in three months, and none due to my mistake. Shit!

    Anyways I am stuck at home, thankfully though, with a friend [Debo], also injured in an accident, with a bad knee. Its healing well and I hope to be back in action soon. Meanwhile, my posting frequency might go down a bit.

    Drive safely, and if possible, don’t.

  • News Roundup

    Don’t have much time for a full post, so a small roundup:

    • Google goes hindi. In a related news, it also launched the Finance service for China. Do it for India – the markets have gone bonkers!
    • Jason Calacanis analyzes the Facebook hype. It is not a Google killer. Period. And I hate some Facebook apps that allow people to chuck things at me.
    • Daily WTF – Copyright stupidity – Act One.
