  • Weekend Roundup

    This one promises to be a less than an exciting weekend.

    I have already spent my day today doing grocery shopping and completing some banking tasks. Also, spent the later half of the day watching “When Harry Met Sally” and the Turkish GP Qualifying. With Ferrari and McLaren taking the top spots again, it promises to be a cracker of a race tomorrow.

    I need to get my Bike repaired. It suffered quite a bit in the chutt accident that I had before I had gone home. Race in the afternoon, and then I would need to shop a bit for my sisters for Rakhi. I have kind of decided on a book for one, but cannot think of anything for the elder one? Choosing gifts is such a pain. Any ideas?

    Meanwhile, I have also decided on ordering “Godel, Escher and Bach” and “A Short History of Nearly Everything.“

  • I am back..

    .. from the short vacation, full of eating and sleeping and doing nothing else. I did click some snaps from the aeroplane, and while the look nice on the LCD preview, I do not know how they have actually turned out. Will check and post if possible.

    Meanwhile, I have unsubscribed from the Freakonomics blog as they have turned to partial feeds after their so called partnership with New York Times, a crime. I suggest you do the same.

  • Happy Friendship Day

    To all my friends, a very happy friendship day. Thanks for everything, and I am extremely sorry for any pain I have caused, intentionally or otherwise.

  • Some updates

    I have been terribly busy over the past few weeks and the next couple are not going to be any different. Meanwhile, here are some tidbits from the recent past.

    • Came across an interesting mail from Anu Vaidyanathan, the interesting bit being her mail signature. Her designation at PatNMarks is “CEO and Chief Herder of Cats“. Very nice.
    • India has kicked some serious British ass in the Trent Bridge test. I now hope that India go on to win the series and Zaheer Khan sends the English team some jelly beans.
    • The reaction of Ganguly at being give out, caught behind, was priceless. Also, judging by his looks in dressing room, I am guessing that Simon Taufel and he are not going out for dinner sometime soon.

  • Lucky Number Seven

    It is once in a lifetime event.

    Lets hope that the Taj makes it to the new seven wonders list.
