There's a scene in the movie Up in The Air, in which George Clooney's sister is getting married. The bridegroom gets cold feet and wants to call off the marriage. Clooney movtivational-speaks to the groom, and lo, in five minutes the groom re-proposes to the bride and they get married.Like the groom, I'm too in the verge of making such a decision and have cold feet. I have a lot of Clooneys for

I usually do not write much. I mean, look at the last post in my blog. But I need to write about http://iloveread.in. Not because I want to win prizes, but i heard from the CEO of I Love Readin', Amrutash, that no one else has written about the service and felt the urge that I need to do something about it right away. They're in line for some well deserved - and pending - admiration and support.I

Today i set up a new external monitor that i got for use with my macboook. i had already installed bootcamp on the macbook and was running xpsp2. When i tried using the monitor alone in xp, and when i set the color mode to 32 bits, the display got all screwed up and was shaking vigorously. This was happening only on 32 bit mode, that too for resolutions greater than 1400X. The display was all

I dunno why, but often keep wondering why are most of the Indian sites so sucky. I mean they have a business here and internet in India is getting bigger and so is the online consumer/customer base and why can't they concentrate more on their websites and make them of better? Take for example the Airtel site www.airtel.in. The other day, i was searching for airtel offices in Chennai at the Airtel

And it happened today morning. Its so subtly and softly funny that i think of it now, late in the night, the same day and chuckling about it.It was around 6:45 AM in the morning. Today being a saturday, i was fast asleep. Someone was calling me on my phone and i was so pissed off to answer the call. I groped around my bed for the phone and finally managed to lay my hands on it. It said: "Home

So, after nearly 3 weeks, i come home from work and i dont have anything to prepare for the next day at work. Despite the fact that i have a lot of things to learn about, i'm planning to take rest tonight and peacefully sleep.Peace.

Airtel refused to give me back my number after i was back and so they had to lose one of their faithful customers.But the strange thing is that, i got back my 38219. Mentioning which, i have to recount a significant amount of my history as far as mobile phones in my life are concerned. My mobile (initally, a Nokia 1100 which i lovvvveeed) has played a big role in life. Its been responsible for

Gives me webstyle of the blog, i compose in it and post is just a click away. Doesnt hog much memory, doesnt freeze like other windows apps. A nice blogging client. I wish i had something like this for my Kubuntu (or rather, i should write one)).

I have always wanted to do my masters - and i had always wanted to do it in the US. I had made a few promises - and i will have to fulfil them. Its just a matter of time. When am i going to lead that simple, free life, which is devoid of hassle and tension? What is it that makes me make much fuss of my own life, when things can be a lot more orderly and understandable and explainable? What am i

I was surprised to notice that two of my posts have received comments. And the posts which have received the comments are quite old ones - i hadnt noticed the comments until today. Wordpress has this feature of mailing the comments to the blog owner as and when a blog post receives comments. Blogspot doesn't seem to be having it, or i haven't enabled it (yet).

I was listening to the song "arabu nade" (film: Thottal Poo Malarum). One of the lines in the song goes like: "Konjam kozhuppu, konjam thimiru, enakkum irukku anbu thozhi". These words set off a chain of thoughts, and hence this post. If someone is haughty and self-obsessed, will he/she be able to observe this fact about themselves? In other words, is an impartial objective assessment of oneself

Its been quite long since i ever sat to write anything. Of late, i should admit, that i've also been a lot of writing of an other kind - coding. Been busy with work and also with my TKD stuff. Gotta get up really early in the morning (~by 5:15), get ready and leave for classes (6 - ~7:45) and then come to office from there directly. I really hate to get up in the morning that early, especially if

Of late, i have been doing considerably less reading than in the normal times. I've been busier with work - wasting around much time when there was enough of it, pitching in extra hours while nearing the deadline. Its kinda fun though to be active after a long time - a respite from laziness. Howsoever i justify what i have been doing for not reading, i wouldn't accept those as valid excuses. ZMM

Today was one of the most awful days of my life. I mean, can it get worse than this? I caught a cold, fell prey to my whims, fucked around the entire day, and stuff. Can we do better? After a long day of laziness and and having wasted much time in front of the idiot box, at the bed, and at the internet, its time to return back to work. Gotta ramp up the pace and quality of life.

And after nearly three hours on customization effort, here it is - my first public blog. I wouldn't call it picture perfect, but its no less than that. I had to manually edit the HTML template a bit to get the blog to what it is right now. I'd say worth the effort. Love it.
