There was a pleasant surprise when I started using Microsoft CRM 4.0 last month.
Indian companies can actually use the support for lakh and crore instead of millions and billions that they are forced to use with other software packages.
Indian style: 12,34,56,789 (That is 12 crores, 34 lakhs, 56 thousands and 7 hundreds…) […]

So Delhi has a new Domestic terminal (1D) and it looks pretty awesome so far. Even better is the fact that you walk past security and are greeted with this wonderful sign …

Airtel has done a decent job on the connectivity and signal clarity (it’s available most places, including restrooms, etc)
However, one peeve of […]

I just saw this in one of his blog posts …
My wireless card is still not working but the IT guy is supposed to come today to take a look at the laptop and increase the RAM on the system.

I’m sorry, but if you know Suramya like I do, then you know someone must have […]

Pretty close to my sentiments regarding the downhill education of the Professional IT people.

Ever since I figured out that what I did to databases was actually called normalization, some of the excitement went away.
It meant that what I was doing wasn’t some genius idea cooked-up in my brain but actually the right way things should have been done.
However, over the years, I’ve come to realize that normalizing is […]

I’m getting old. Mentally. It sucks.
After trying 15 minutes of simple arithmetic exercises … I’m sitting here holding my head. But this is the good kind of headache. Kind of like how my muscles feel after swimming for 30 minutes.
So, all of you people reading this blog and in your late 20’s and 30’s go […]
