Comfortably numb

Well, hello there! Do I know you? Have I seen you before? I have? Where? Here? Are you sure? It has been such a long time! That’s a nice axe. What are you planning to do with it? OKOKOKOK, I am sorry, but this past week has been both a hectic as well as frustrating [...]

Missing in action

Just a quick note – I am alive and well. Thanks to all who wrote in asking me whether I was dead or whether they should come over and kill me. I am in overload mode, and hope to re-emerge sometime tonight. Until then….

No entry for Thursday

Sorry – no update for 24-Jan. Way too overloaded. Watch for Friday’s episode for an explanation

Notworking Engineer

Well – another day out of office. But this time, not my fault Spent the morning attending the IPv6 Forum Global Summit being held here in Bangalore. Got to butt heads with some truely outstanding people who care deeply about the issues that led to the development of IPv6, and who are seriously committed to [...]

Learning to fly (again)

Uh oh, a new tune stuck in the groove, replacing “Absolutely Everybody”….. Actually not new, nor one I have not heard before. This one is “Tanha Dil” by Shaan. Not too bad lyrics, and a really great tune. I have seen it several times on TV (great video too, BTW), but I ran across the [...]

Film heroes

Nothing much happened today, so theoretically, I should just say goodnight to the diary junkies and call it a day. But that would be a waste of space – I own it, and I can use it. Reminds me of a funny story my parents told me – on a sightseeing bus during a holiday [...]

I am fed up!

Today was a day that did nothing for my resolve to lose some weight. First of all, turns out that tomorrow (Sunday) is Biju’s birthday, so he showed up in office carrying a simply fabulous chocolate cake and two “super saver – Rs.20″ packs of chips. Then, since it was the final meeting of the [...]

The Boob Tube Adventure

Yesterday, I mentioned in the passing to my partner Gopi that we are pretty cut off from news and other stuff that happens on TV while we are in the office. This is fairly serious – we spend up to 12 hours a day there, and assuming that we sleep for another 8 of them, [...]

The world in my pocket

Not a very exciting day. I guess not every day can be. Played around with my site a bit between bouts of dealing with clients, chewing through proposals and reading reports. One of the things I added was a way by which people using Avantgo can pick up my diary and read it on the [...]
