Routine
In: Miscellaneous
13 Aug 2010I sleep at 3 AM, wake up at 9. Reach office at 11, have lunch at 3, reach home at 10, have dinner at 11, sleep at 3 and the cycle continues… Days, Weeks, Months, Years. Robotic life. I hate monotony. Sometimes its kick ass stuff, sometimes t]just plain old shit. What the fuck am [...]
Khatta Meetha is very khatta – not recommended
In: Movies
23 Jul 2010There is less of Meetha and mostly Khatta with Khatta Meetha. I am disappointed with the movie. Priyadarshan has lost it this time. He couldn’t decide whether he’s making a comedy or a realistic movie. The movie is marketed as a funny one and that’s what I was expecting. Light entertainment. The movie turned out [...]
Where are the brains?
In: Uconomix
12 Jun 2010We at Uconomix are in process of recruiting some bright programmers. Posted the opening on Naukri and as expected flood of resumes is coming in. We have set up an online logical test comprising of only 10 questions on maths, logic and reasoning. Some 900 candidates have taken the test so far. Results – only [...]
A Chinese way of selling domain names
In: Miscellaneous
12 Jun 2010I have been receiving emails from certain companies in China saying they have been approached by some company to register various domains for “Uconomix” like uconomix.cn, uconomix.asia, uconomix.cn, uconomix.com.cn, uconomix.com.hk, uconomix.com.tw etc. And since I own Uconomix.com domain and the Uconomix name, they have kept the application of the other company interested in registering these [...]

Nokia E72 is a NOT for business
In: Technology
17 Apr 2010I am hugely disappointed with my Nokia E72. This device is anything but a business phone as Nokia claims. The worst piece of software on the phone? – Email!! The WiFi connectivity sucks! The stupid phone keeps asking me to choose an access point every five minutes! Can’t you remember my preferred Access point damn [...]
Books I read
In: Reading
7 Apr 2010I love reading. I am not just a reader but a collector too. My little library is ever expanding. When I was a kid I used to read and collect a children’s magazine called Champak, then I switched to comics – Raj Comics to be specific. Even today I posses over 1000 issues of Raj [...]
My favourite exaggerations
23 Mar 2010I often use exaggerations to make a point. My favourite ones – Another zero will be added to India’s population I use this to signify that significant amount time will be spent or has been spent doing something very trivial. By the time I reach office, a zero would be added to India’s population By [...]
Phishing email in Hindi
In: Fun|Miscellaneous
6 Mar 2010Scamsters have now started sending phishing emails in Hindi! I received one today telling me my Bank of India account has been blocked and I should login and activate it. Of course I dont have an account in Bank of India but what is interesting is the mail is in Hindi. Very bad Hindi actually. [...]

In: Atheism
