personas-ization
Somehow Personas is making me regress. Back to a time when I first started using Firebird 0.7, and hacked my way into theming it (the Firefox of those days did not look pretty – it looked like what it was: a quick, nifty version of the Mozilla ...
i’m only two days late for something i nearly forget every year
..and to think that I put in a reminder on my RTM (which I, obviously, ignored). 5 years. 5 years. 5 years. Yes, yes, I actually repeated the same phrase thrice with formatting changes. Here’s a fourth: 5 years. I really can’t get over th...
tashi: the amazing, awesome (invisible) dog
As I spent most of last week getting Windows 7 to work properly on my computer (which will be in a next post – it takes a while for me to get such things together) – I completely missed the chance to post about walking my dog in Brooklyn....
life continues to move along its winding trail
A break’s a break, no matter how I put it. I last blogged nearly a week or more ago, and here I am now trying to come up with good excuses to myself as to why I haven’t posted. I’m going to skip past it and focus on topic 2: “Life Continues t...
there if no charge for awefomeness
Awefomeness #1: Whale watching in Boston. Pretty damn great. Watching the mother and baby whale play in the waters of the Stellwagen Bank is a little unbelievable – a sight not to be missed. The staff goes on about facts and figures and yada y...
movie-shoovie etcetera
The ‘etcetera’ above is simply to assure myself that I’m not JUST writing about movies. Here’s the non-movie part of this review: The missus is in a foul mood for various reasons (most of them to do with me)… waitaminnit...
blog-thinking aloud part duex
Before I begin, it must be remarked that the number of suggestions on my last post is the reason this one is delayed. Why? Well, I actually had a follow up post all ready and written saying ‘Well its great to see how little you guys want to see...
blog-thinking aloud
I have come to the conclusion I should probably have at least one weekly post-type scheduled thing. Something which will definitely happen every week – in addition to all the other random crap that I keep boring all of you with. In case I come ...
leaving india
Sucks more and more every time. Period....
the trip draws to a close..
And I remain obsessed with StickCricket, even as my mom pointedly mentions that I am now supposed to be reallly growing up – given that I’ve hooked the missus. Not taken her, just hooked. Now for my annual sojourn of Bombay, and a visit t...
continually making random posts means i’m degenerating to traditional blogging
Moving sucks. SUCKS. Period. And that series of long titles has been in honor of Dinosaur Comics. Bloody frickin’ awesome: How he manages to get something pretty rockin’ everyday from the same 6 sets of images.. and not make it completel...
keeping in the spirit of sporadically posting random updates for the sake of it
Yes, I know that’s a long title. Looooooooong. I appear to have run out of things to say on this site. Every day is like a new deadline. Its been 4 days since you last posted. Its been 5 days since you last posted. Its been 7 days since you had...
just to get a post up here..
Guy Ritchie + Robert Downey Jr. + (my all time hero) Sherlock Holmes = I can’t wait for 25th December 2009. Damn, that seems far. Will have to satisfy with Ms. Fox bending over and, of course, Mr. Taratino’s next. p.s. Even in spite of th...
dhinak dhinak din-dainik tamasha!
Hello everyone, and welcome to ‘Dainik Tamasha’. Please welcome Jaan Satwinder! [Woman of indeterminate age, dressed in a sari, walks in. Namaste to audience while keeping every part of her body and head covered - just in case.] Hello eve...
is blogging once a week really blogging?
Or should I resort to twittering? Given that I update my Facebook status once a day (as a rule of thumb), it seems I could tie it all up pretty neatly. Status update - twitter - blog post. But then you would be treated to such gems as ‘Satish i...
no posts would be better than this post
I wish I could post about something interesting. Sadly, since I’m all out of ideas.. I’m just going to rant and make snide remarks about news items.. which are not necessarily news anymore. By some quirk of fate, most news items I have re...
note to self
Always always bring camera when leaving NJ. Especially if its to Florida. And its a bright beautiful day. And the only things for miles around is Disney. Yeah, I know. I’m the guy taking photos as best he can. Who will still manage to take bett...
deja vu
No matter what I get done, somehow the mystical art of paper writing continues to elude. Completely. And I never manage to get done with my paper more than a day before the conference. Even that has almost never happened. p.s. It is now the day befor...
the 2 billionth set
Yes. I counted to a billion. Twice. Even if Ravan beat me to it. 51. Do you like coffee? In the mornings. I prefer chai anytime after that. Long-term habit, thanks to college. 52. How do you like your eggs? Bhurjee-style. Again, college. Again, IR...
the billionth set of random questions i answer for no reason at all
How do I put it: time for ‘Atyachaar‘ indeed 1. Ever been given an engagement ring? No. 2. Longest relationship? 26 years with my mom and dad. Heh. 3. Last gift you received? A very special collage. 4. Ever dropped a cell phone? Not so ...
random random random random random random
So, even though I was going to steal this tag via marie [who's blog has "died", btw], i actually managed to get tagged for once - this time by webkittyn. the tag has changed pretty drastically in the year or so that i have been sitting on it: its now...
partial -> full
i’ve jumped. from half to full. i’m not talking about cups. or bandwagons. or jacks. or pogo-sticks. or any other random association you might make. the fact that you’re reading this sentence in your reader, should give you a clue. ...
why linux is not for human beings
having spent 3 hours of my life in trying to get a dual-monitor setup + compiz on ubuntu 8.10, i have come to the conclusion that it is simply impossible. a rant ensues, obviously. [...]...
oh, you love me.. you really love me!
once upon a time, long long ago, in blogland... a misguided soul was misguided enough (obviously) to appreciate other souls who, well.., blogged. and so the argument award continues... [...]...
maps + ups tracking = um…
can anyone tell me why one of my 2 purchases (same day, same receipt) follows one route (blue) to come to me from california, while the other (red) has its own ideas ? they're both from newegg, and coming via UPS.. View Map...
two down..
and i am getting the hang of 'conference'-ing. no major relevations revelations (happy now, galadriel?) about myself or my attitude this time though :)...
the laptop gods hate me
a year and 60 days after my warranty expires, the nvidia 8400GM graphics card on my hp laptop has fried. no matter that i have pointed out to HP more than once that the laptop does get pretty warm, and i have been using a cooling pad/table since. no...
don’t be so serious
get the joke? Must. watch. again. and again. and again....
story time
what kanchan posted about triggered some leftover thoughts in me, and i went ahead and put together one possible version of it. mind you, what really came home to me is that i need to write more, and think about writing more. however, such mundane mu...
literarily mine
based off certain people doing every single tag on the planet, i had to get one. she’s lucky its a literary tag, because, as we all know, i don’t have the time to do such things. please, no drum roll. its my pleasure to bore you and insul...
