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, I got back to BLR airport last evening, and the moment you get out of baggage collection, you are flooded with large banners advertising Tata’s new GSM service in partnership with Japan’s NTT DoCoMo.
The good:
I like Tata, they are decent to their clients.
I’ve heard good things about NTT for years.
The bad:
Tata’s mobile experience in […]

I recently had to format my laptop because I was using a beta version of Windows 7, which expired.
And this happened on day 2 of a 11 day trip. Yes, bhagwan help me, I know.
However, the logic I follow with laptops or desktops is that I keep a separate partition on the hard drive with […]

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 …

So I am at the Dubai airport and surfing around (on their free wifi, Thanks guys!)
However, I just decided to check up on something I’ve only read online … what kind of websites are good (or bad) enough to be blocked.

I’ve owned desktops. and laptops. and pocket pc’s. and tablet pc’s. and a UMPC. and tower servers.
With CopperSpiral doing as well as it is, the time has come to upgrade.
I’m finally going to control a real server server.
As it should be, it’s IBM.
It’s 1U thick.
Multiple Xeon processors.
Multiple SCSI hard drives.
Starts with 4 gigs of RAM. […]
