Ran across this absolutely *fabulous* rant about audio speaker ratings. This is a must-read for anyone who ever felt thrilled at the thought of blowing money on a “2500 Watt PMPO” system. People seem to be less than happy with the Lord of The Rings movie, now that it has been released here in india. [...]

Today was a bad day. I do not wish to talk about it. Update: No, it had nothing to do with Lagaan’s not winning an Oscar.

Ah, Sunday. God created this day to soften the blow of Monday. The morning passed peacefully, as Sunday mornings should. Then synced up with Gopi and Avinash at the Windsor Manor, where we had excellent iced tea and I had a Chicken Tikka on a bun. Don’t ask me what that is – go there [...]

Went to office this afternoon for the first time since Monday. Meetings with house finance guys, auditors and clients. Groan! Old Thinkpad went off for repairs today. Let’s see how these guys (TVA Help.COM) handle the job. They got back to me in the evening with a diagnosis that told me that they were on [...]

Lord of the Rings opens in Bangalore today, and it appears the entire gang at work is going tomorow. Unfortunately, I have this total aversion to movie theatres, and haven’t gone to one in almost 15 years. The reason is simple – no PAUSE key And that is something I need, or I end up [...]

Hmmm, more Piscean birthdays – goody! Today it is the turn of J.C.Kiran (I refuse to call him anything else, this being the name he registered as on my long dead BBS
