[Dec 21, 2004] Bought an LG G1500 mobile phone last Sunday. Feel that it has some real kewl features for the price. Also got a BSNL prepaid connection which gives you talk-time of 3050/-. Mobile number available on request.
[Dec 13, 2004] I just
finished reading "To
Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This Pulitzer-award winning novel
written in 1960 is about a small
[Dec 8, 2004] Downloaded the beta version of .Net 2005 (codenamed "Whidbey"). The C# IDE has a new project template to create screensavers. I tried the sample code that accepted an RSS feed and it was real cool. Screensavers showing you prices of the scrips in your portfolio can be cool, can't they (especially in a company like ours where you have two machines per head)? By the way, this seems to be a good RSS reader, just in case you haven't heard about it before.

[Sep 9, 2004] Finished the Da Vinci code around a couple of
weeks ago. I would highly recommend you to start reading the book when you have
a full free day. That book, as aptly described by New York Times, is
"Unputdownable"!
[Aug 9, 2004] Mmm. Heard about "Da
Vinci Code" by "Dan Brown".
Yeah...yeah..agree that it's almost an year since it has been released. But I
haven't read that yet. Trying to get a copy!
[Jul 30, 2004] I just found this
site which almost has all the books online that you would like to fill your
shelves with. With an assortment of works by many famous people, this
site can keep you entertained for months! By the way, we have a Quiz today in
our office.
After a couple of hours of splitting headache in a
movie-theatre-turned-torture-cell where I happened see this infernal movie
called Julie, I have just stopped short of starting a movement against it and
any other of the same genre to follow. Abysmally low acting skills coupled with
a total lack of direction "murdered" the movie. It's indeed sad to
note that the leitmotif of the present day cinema has moved from love to
extra-marital love!
SharpDevelop has entered RC stage! The product has certainly evolved a lot. More on this when I am able to use it more. (Right now am still stuck with VS .Net).
[Jun 16, 2004] Finished with "Snapshots
From Hell: The making of an MBA". Wow! I liked it! Pete is especially
good in recounting all the moments with his "non-poet" friends!
Tell you what! The roadside stalls in the
[Jun 5, 2004] Started reading Wealth Of Nations
by Adam Smith. Wow! seems to be a pretty nice book. Well, after all it wouldn't
have been hailed as the bible of Economics otherwise.
[May 27, 2004] Done with Wodehouse's "Right Ho, Jeeves"
& "A Pelican at Blandings". Just got a copy of "Snapshots
From Hell: The making of an MBA" by Peter Robinson, a Stanford graduate. Discontinued Nirad.
C. Chaudhuri's "Hinduism - A religion to live by". The author seemed
to thrust more of personal opinions than factual details and the final WTF
occurred to me halfway through the second part of the book. Pshaw! One of those
books I'd hate to read any time.
[Apr 1, 2004] April Fool! Well. That's what I felt like once I finished the
5th and the last available of the Harry Potter novels. Didn't feel that the
story has advanced a wee bit from where it ended in the 4th part.
Finished "Girl In Blue". Currently reading Nirad. C. Chaudhuri's
"Hinduism - A religion to live by". Feel that it is slightly
slanderous. If you have any comments, please post it in my guestbook.
[Mar 09, 2004] Wow! The wedding bells are ringing and a couple of
my cousins are getting married. Aravind ties the knot on the 3rd of May
and Charu's wedding's on the 21st.
Currently reading P.G.Wodehouse's "Girl In Blue". One thing that
I have grown quite accustomed to is Wodehouse making at least one of his
characters fumble for words in almost all of his novels. In "Blandings
Omnibus", it was Lord Emerson or his son and in "Girl in Blue",
its Chippendale! "Cor!" That's boiler-plate stuff.
[Dec 05, 2003] Microsoft is developing the next generation
technology, named Longhorn. Looks exciting as it aims at reducing the
development effort needed for different kinds of deployments. Read the FAQ
about it here.
[Oct 10, 2003] Phew! At long last I have spruced up my web-site.
Did a lot of purging and did away with lots of jargons :o. Hope that it is at
least worth a look now <grin>.
[Jul 23, 2003] The next major release of Sharpdevelop is out!! Sports a largely
improved forms designer now. Still lacks support for VB.Net but these cool chaps have taken open source development with Microsoft to a
new degree. Cheers!!
