After a very hectic week, followed by a fabulous weekend with no access to Internet, I am back. It feels like its been such a long time.. ..may be because it is spring now. The winter is finally over and after a few days of hovering between both sides of 0 C, we are now …

I wish I could..

June 30, 2005 by Surya

– do an “undo” when I take the wrong turn and end up in an unknown street.– cut one bean and do a click&drag for all the beans to cut according to the same formula.– upload my clothes and shoes to a central location before I travel and download them from wherever I am, when …

Joey

June 30, 2005 by Surya

I just watched the latest episode of Joey and its laughs and guffaws all the way. The series started started off slow, but I think after about the eleventh episode, the comedy really picks up.

Confusion O confusion

Like a fat kid in a candy store

June 30, 2005 by Surya

One of things about living in a country where you cant get English books is that you cant make impulse buys on books. I read about them and order them via my personal book delivery service. I get my books every weekend from Amsterdam. This weekend, I had a surprise in store, “Parallel Worlds” by …

June 30, 2005 by Surya

NRIs moving back to India is not the solution to India’s problems and let this not be the scapegoat that everyone turns to when they need one. I was doing my friendly rounds around the blogsphere when I came across this article titled “Des, Pardes: NRIs Can Have Best of Both Worlds“. It is interesting …
