I heard on the radio about the Hindi version of Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man’s Chest being released as ‘Samundar ke lutere – Murdey ka khazana‘. Yipes! How ridiculously, stupidly, technically correct the translation is! Anyway, I am yet to see it and from what I’ve heard from friends, it is an awesome […]

Before and After

I got this picture in my mailbox today. Couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it and had to mention it here. It’s some shampoo ad. Isn’t the lion cute? Before the shampoo, the lion was a junglee animal. After the shampoo its a civilized beast. Haha!

My mind is (con)fused! Making up my mind has always been a tough task. I find it just too difficult to decide between things. Its almost like a case of choosing between ‘the devil or the deep blue sea’. Either ways is just as good or just as bad. What does one do in such […]

This is frustrating!

I have recently moved to WordPress. Before getting here, I was using blogger and was quite happy with it. WordPress was then unheard of and blogger ruled as far as I was concerned. Blogger too had a few templates that did well for me and features like links, etc were required to be manually added […]

The blogger’s back!

Yaay! After an almost 3day block, the authorities have given access to the eager and angry janta to blogspot blogs. This block came about as it was found that some derogatory content and comments were published online. Unfortunately, instead of blocking a few subdomains, the ISPs blocked the entire domain thus making it impossible for […]

Why I like and dislike Orkut

I’ve been using Orkut for sometime now and I must say that i find it pretty impressive. I have tried a few other such networking sites but they are either too garish or full of people just waiting to bombard you with crappy messages. Here’s why I like Orkut – I like the full page […]

Quote of the Day

For sometime, I’ve developed this habit of sending out mails and forwards with a quote/proverb attached as my signature. I don’t like really high funda philosophy that makes you think 2 times before you derive any sense of it. Something simple which has meaning is what I look for. This is my current signature – […]

Salaam Mumbai

‘Aye dil, hai mushkil jeena yahan – zara haske, zara bachke, yeah hai bombay meri jaan!‘ As if last week’s rain debacle and Sunday’s fiasco wasn’t enough, we had 7 bomb-blasts in the city today along the Western Rail line. To add to the panic, cellphones and landlines got jammed. Just shook up like the […]

Make-over time!

Everyone is getting a make over these days. Right from homes to offices to websites to people including moi 🙂 Thought I’d use some basic designinging skills and change the look of my blogger account a bit. This is what I have at present. I took one of those basic, green, mosaic style templates and […]

Cheers!

Listening to this song by U2 again and again 2day. Simply love it. Here goes – Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say… One love One life When it’s one need In the night One love We […]
