Things I want to do in my life
In: Personal
3 Jun 2008Here’s a little list of things (in no specific order) that I’d like to do/achieve in my life. I would like to: Own a Ferrari and drive it on an F1 circuit. Walk on the moon. Own a luxurious yacht. Visit Pyramids of Giza. Have a dinner on top of Eiffel Tower. Ride a bicycle [...]
Buying a new notebook – Acer or Compaq?
In: Personal|Technology
1 Jun 2008I sold my 2 and a half year old Compaq 4118AP notebook. Its hinges were broken and battery was also worn out. The costs for repairing/replacing them was excessive – Rs. 7000 for battery and 4000 for battery. Instead of appending 11000 (approx. $275) on an old notebook, I thought it would be wise to [...]
Ultrasonic sound test for your ears
In: Miscellaneous
27 May 2008This stumbleupon thingy is amazing. So very often I stumble upon stuff that seems rather absurd. I just came across a sound test! It tests your hearing ability with ultrasonic sounds to ascertain how good your ears are! I couldn’t hear a sound above 12 Khz. Here’s my test result – You’re in a mid [...]
Got my ubuntu CD
In: Technology
26 May 2008Well I am a Windows guy, but heard a lot about ubuntu of late so thought of giving it a try. I was amazed and surprised toknow that Canonical – ununtu’s owner company – sends out free CDs. SO I ordered one. Even Microsoft sends out free trial CDs of their software but you have [...]
Age Calculator
In: Fun
23 May 2008Well I was wondering whether I am 26 or 27. So I put together a quick age calculator in .Net. Of course I can calculate my age and I don’t need a special program to do that but I just thought it would be cool to have a program or a site to know my [...]
Puss in boots (Shrek 2 fame) lookalike
13 May 2008I just LOVE cats. They are so cute and I just stumbled across a cat that looks just like the Puss in boots from Shrek 2. The Puss in boots: The Real Puss in boots!
My loony bun is fine Benny Lava!
27 Feb 2008Someone took a Prabhudeva video and added English subtitles for what the song sounded like. It’s not a translation but how it sounds. Check out the lyrics man! It’s so damn crazily funny!
Why is it necessary to have a creator?
In: Atheism
23 Feb 2008I am often asked “If you don’t believe in God then how do you think everything in this world is happening?” Some other variants of this question are- Who created the universe? How babies are born? How seasons change? How do we have rains and sunshine, day and night? How everything happens? How is the [...]
If you believe in god and if you are a Christian, then do you think those who do not accept Jesus as their saviour i.e. the people who follow other religions like Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism will got to hell? Every religion claims that it is the “ONLY” way to get a ticket to the [...]
Software as a service – will it replace my desktop applications? I don’t think so.
In: Technology
24 Jan 2008For some time now Software as a service – SAAS in short – is generating a lot of buzz. People say its the future. In future you won’t have any desktop applications. Everything will be online, word processing, spreadsheet, entertainment, personal information management, CRM everything will be hosted online. People say Google’s online office applications [...]
