Die another year

Happy new year, everybody !!
Just saw the James Bond flick, “Die Another Day”.
Now, only if I had a penny for every pun in the movie!

AMD vs Intel

I am thinking of buying a new PC in the recent future (come on, I need to graduate from 550Mhz), and this led me to research on some of the processors available today. A bit of searching on the key “Intel vs AMD” led me to the following comments by Linus Torvalds :
“I’m a bit [...]

Merry Christmas

From the TOI :
“Today is Christmas. the day christ was born to save the world. It’s a day of remembrance and celebration of the great Saviour.”

More than just words

I am just about realising it now.
Reading between the lines is not that difficult an art, but I think it’s been long forgotten. Next time someone says something, or writes somethings, or even sends an SMS to you, rather than paying attention to the messge as a whole, pay attention to the words used, the [...]

A different kind of ‘code’

I am not someone who reads a lot of novels, in fact, I wonder if I have even ever read one. But these vacations have given me a lot of free time, and some friends of mine told me what a good read ‘The Da Vinci Code’ was. I decided to give it a try.

Swades – We, the people

Went to watch a movie today after a long time. Granted, the theatre wasn’t the best (a lousy K.T. Vision somewhere in Vasai), but the movie just about made up for it.
I am not an NRI, nor do I have any NRI friends. So I don’t really know how NRIs feel about India. But still, [...]

Working in a group. No, I am not talking about managing a group, or it’s workflow, I am talking of the [...]

Tap – a – tap

After banging my CPU for hours, here I am, on my friends laptop. Hail Sidd, for letting me use it.
Actually, my CPU fan is spoilt, and it somehow worked when I tapped my PC at a rate of no less than one tap per two seconds. Understandably, I got tired after a few hours and [...]

Holidaying in Goa

Well, I am leaving tomorrow to spend some time in Goa. I still can’t believe it, the whole thing was planned out in less than three days! I know Goa may not be as glamorous as some of the places my friends are going to, but still, this is the FIRST time I am going [...]

Some naughty humour …

Does anyone out there like naughty, raunchy humour? Then there’s this great show on Star World, “Coupling”. It seems it was running for quite some time, but my exams prevented me from finding that out.
The humour is pretty ok, and doesn’t leave much to the imagination (pun intended). Great for dimwits who don’t like to [...]
