When saying 'Atishoo" is more dangerous then "hijack"!
This entry is not in any way an attempt at being blase about the flu virus that sat smug in a swine till it worked on its karma and got an upgrade to human abode. (The little brat quietly yet successfully got to be priority #1 in the agenda of change of a probably stunned President Obama! Like he didn't have enough already).

Khushi Debo, Astaad Deboo!
I just had an overwhelming evening and am not sure why I'm even attempting to shape it in words. But perhaps, there might be some amongst you who can join the dots between the widely separated points and conjure what i'm trying to express.
Astaad Deboo, a name I'd heard, a face I'd seen in fantastic photographs, but whose performance I'd never ( Read more... ) -
"The Perfect World" -- overhead on the walk back home
After months of layering yourself to rather err on the safer side thanks to the unpredictable weather, we had a couple of days of purely pleasant weather... (the record still continues!)...
Last evening, as I strolled towards home, returning from work, enjoying every bit the fact that i didnt have to shudder as the breeze touched my face, I hear ( Read more... ) -
What's the big deal?
I came across this article (courtesy Slashdot) - The Great No-ID Airport Challenge
Just couldn't understand what the big deal was in getting your ID checked in the first place. From this article, I learnt that someone had actually filed a case against checking of IDs as it violated 'his right to travel freely'!
Personally, I think that there ( Read more... ) -
Aafreen Aafreen
I've heard this song many times over and over again and enjoyed it most for Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's raspy voice.
But this time round, I paid more attention to the lyrics and the following lines kept me craving for more! Ah..poetry!!!
"Aankhein Neechi Huwi To Haya Bun Gayi
Aankhein Unchi Howi To Dua Bun Gayi

Coffee - the Yes Pill!
This article left me highly amused. Titled Coffee makes us say Yes it has reportings on some latest research on cafeine from Australian researchers. Apparently caffeine makes us alert and focus on the task at hand thus making us more open to persuasive talk as cafeinated victims tend to listen more intently and eventually be persuaded!! :)

Jaw dropping stuff
Refering to my archived post on the Lessons from the Browser Wars, I had read there how a lot of webmasters design their web content for display on IE as that's the most popular browser the world over. So I had thought to myself, that for whatever reason, I'll have to launch IE and have the unnecessary application icon in my task bar. (The main ( Read more... ) -
Appreciation for innovation?
I came across this interesting article (Lessons from the Browser War) that discusses a study by a student Pai-Ling Yin, at Harvard Business School. I put this in my blog mainly for those who might not come across this on sites like slashdot etc where I found this :)
Some interesting points of how diffusion mechanisms of technology into the market ( Read more... ) -
The Art of Listening
I enjoy picking up a book and opening it at a random page and then peering curiously to see what the pages have to tell me. Today, I did just that, playing with "Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. I was offered the chapter on "Art of Listening". On reading what I did, it struck me that there might be some of you out there who might identify or find ( Read more... )
