It’s still early morning, as I’m sitting for tea (and biscuits, of course) and the cook/cleaner is cleaning the house.
Thanks to being close to St. Josephs (Indians) and Cottons, we are within hearing distance of the morning assembly.
As usual, they start the music for the national anthem, and as usual, I stand up to sing […]

Are you seriously kidding me, Airtel?
Sorry. Some background to this outburst. Indian mobile operators have only recently figured out how to give users access to technology that allows callers to leave a voicemail in-case the called-person is busy or unreachable. So far so good.

My X41 Tablet PC is now running Windows 7 beta (in all it’s glory!) and how!!! I knew skipping Vista was a good thing, and this proves it.
Also, with the […]

In Newark, N.J., U.S. 1 is home of one of Budweiser’s largest breweries.
