During my college years, I stayed with a family who took me in like I was their own son. Their son was my closest friend, and we did everything together – from flying kites, racing bikes to enjoying music. Later in life, we parted ways over ego issues and petty fights, and though I have [...]

Today was not a good day, and I suspect it isn’t going to end here. While I cannot go into any details, it is clear that I am about to face some serious changes in my life – changes I had not anticipated and am therefore not specifically prepared for. This does not mean that [...]

For those of you who don’t often check my writings section – I have recently added two articles, an old one, and a new one. The old one is my classic Linux compatible equipment, and how even a little bit of checking will ensure that you don’t get into trouble with stuff you buy. While [...]

Sunday, Shubha and I, along with Kishore Bhargava and his wife Jyoti, went to 180 Proof (supposedly one of the swankier pubs in town) to watch the group “Rust” perform. The specific reason being that Mrinal was performing along with this group. The “previews” I got from various places, including from Live Journal indicated that [...]

Been a busy week. Looks like it is going to get busier. Put up the long delayed Gopi’s birthday photos – the party at home and at Windsor Pub. Harsha, Samyeer and I hit Windsor Pub again late Monday night, and put away more food than should be allowed by the law. Rains have started [...]

Hey, what happened – just yesterday it was the 11th of May, and now it is the 20th? What happened to all the time? Ah well, time flies…. The past week has had its ups and downs, but in general it was mostly unremarkable, except for a few items: Gopi turned 40 today, crossing the [...]

Today is Shubha’s birthday, so first and foremost Happy Birthday, Shubha! She doesn’t want me to let people know how old she is, so I won’t, but I am glad that I am not going to get any more jokes about my age from her side. Yesterday, went to Nokia’s showroom and got my smashed [...]

Hmmm, yesterday turned out disaster time. Got home in the evening, and dropped my mobile phone (a Nokia 6210). Resulted in a smashed LCD that is going to cost me a packet to fix.

Kinda busy with all sorts of things happening. Should be able to update the diary later today. Right now, I am thrilled to bits to have my old and faithful Thinkpad 770 working again as the Load intended. The guys at TVA Help.COM finally fixed the last nasty – and my low-end favourite road-axe is [...]

Got beeped by Sony last night – MTV was showing the Roger Waters show. Frantically rolled out of bed, hurled myself at the TV, and settled in to watch… …the great ripoff. They first showed a half-hour segment about the Bangalore show, (including Amir Khan at the venue) to make it look like they were [...]
