Ok, so I went ahead and retired my most beloved, most excellent, the most most, k750i with another Sony Ericsson model … the P1i (see P1i photos)
It’s a pretty cool phone, as phones go. And it was a tough choice between P1i and the iPhone (Arvind, Jace and Suramya, un-drop your jaws now).
Firstly, why the […]

Arthur C Clarke moves on to a higher plane of existence.
After all, one of the God’s of S and SF would not want to consider merely something as mundane as death the end.

It’s been what, over 2 months since I last blogged?! And a month and a half before that last post too??And thats just not cool, methinks.
So here’s to restarting the blogger in me …
But whatever happened to keep me away?
Mostly, resting. And traveling. A lot. Different places. Different civilisations. The more I travelled, the more […]

No, don’t fret, this isn’t one more of “those” posts showing off the author’s eco-friendliness and stating that “I will not burst fireworks this year”
I’ve been doing the eco-friendly thing for 7 whole years. And this year is an exception.
So I went out yesterday and got a box-ful of chakras, flower-pots (anars), phul-jari’s, laxmi bombs […]

(with apologies to Josh Quittner, whose mag Business 2.0 I totally loved)
But, Seriously!
As an entrepreneur … I don’t need another social network letting me meet and chat with other entrepreneurs. Sure it’s all nice and fuzzy and maybe sometimes helpful meeting other entrepreneurs, but hearing from more than a few at a time and it’s over-kill. […]

Very often I am asked by others (ok, by Jace, Sameer and a couple more) why I don’t move over to a macbook? After all, they are the best laptops money can buy! Right?
Well, my simple answer to them is … not while I can still get my grubby paws on a kik-ass ThinkPad with […]

I graduated from college with the distinct impression that there are two types of college professors.
The real ones: Those that don’t mind you buying/using 3 year old used textbooks, and
The institutionalized ones: Those that will fail you if you haven’t purchased the latest version of the same textbook.
I could say that if I was studying […]

I’ve maintained this blog and have regularly written in for over 4 years now.
In the process, I somehow lost the art of writing a dairy (log) and got more interested in maintaining a mostly-updated commentary on what I see and use.
However much I’d like to call them the same, they aren’t. My blog never discussed […]
