All the texts of origins of different religions talk about a beginning. A beginning that was begot by a single all knowing all powerful being. And humans who were moulded in his / her shape. If it looks fine, if it feels fine and if it smells fine… then it must be fine. However when [...]

How to work with me
The first time I read it here (Hat-tip @derblub) , I saved it in a text file for my reference and to internalize it. However for the sake of posterity and my own predisposition towards spring cleaning I’ve decided to save it here. This is something I am going to send out to my minions [...]

Slow and Steady: How we got it all wrong!
My dad and I were having a discussion while we working out today and something just popped up during our discussion. He was ruing about the huge difference in his physical form since his young days, but my point was that he would have the form if he would stick to a regimen regularly. Only [...]

teenmaar
The movie is mostly a copy of the much better made Hindi movie ‘Love Aaj Kal’. Teenmaar opens with a very powerful and of course completely irrelevant premise – that it being the story of 2 senadhipatis and about ‘Art of War’. Positively flummoxed it was a very interesting start to an already known love [...]

Kayaking and 2nd chances
Sunday. January 30th. Another check on the Bucket List. A chance to kayak in the hinterlands on Hyderabad. In a lake in the arid land of Vikarabad – a huge surprise that – let alone finding a pond, there was a frigging lake in the middle of it. An enterprising gentleman, Ram Bhamidipati organized the [...]

127 hours – review.
Youtube circa 2010. The first ad of ’127 Hours’ rolled in onto the ‘YouTube’. It was about a friendly, crazy young man that would get trapped in the the rocks. That was it. That *was* the story. Interest spiked, of course this was one of those *inspiring* survivor stories. Wikipedia came to the rescue – [...]

Coldest goodbye email – DimDim. Congrats nevertheless.
Must be the coldest goodbye mail ever. Almost ‘talk-to-my-hand’ esque rebuttal. Bad open source contribution in spite of using the FOSS mantra for the few initial months – helped massively in the coverage against WebEx. I hope this FOSS misuse will stop. Nevertheless, this is great news for the Indian product ecosystem. I hope the [...]

2010 in review
WP is amazing bringing the year in review. How good would it be if we had stats for all the social media services that we consume: Facebook, Gmail, all. That would be a pretty neat business idea to pursue, isnt it? Summary services. – The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog [...]

what breaks?
Yesterday, we were working late hours in office, obviously work. And obviously with the rules in Hyderabad where late night working souls cannot have any food security after 11 pm in the night, we had to start searching for a goo place to have some food. Infact as far as economic incentives work out, with [...]
