  • A Subaru Impreza just zoomed past at Lokhandwala. Wish I was in that instead of this rickety auto. #
  • Is there a way to get these SMS Gupshup guys to stop messaging me? #
  • After a great deal of deliberation, I’ve settled on the Steel theme in Gmail! #
  • Get @nimkarkedar to send you a wedding invite. The invitation card is killer. #
  • @sidin I’m lusting for a Blackberry curve pretty openly and plan to acquire one the moment I get this month’s Salary! #
  • @sidin Get a mac. #
  • Having some seriously tough time trying to get at Youtube using my Google Account! #
  • I hate electronic music tracks which last for a full fucking hour. Might make sense in a Party but not on the iPod or ITunes! #
  • @Aalaap I think that will end up being one killer feature on Google! #
  • @gurupanguji Fuck. Thats weak, dude. #
  • Wtf? My Mac hung! Trackpad unresponsive. #
  • At Totos Garage after what seems like an era. This place is still the same. Crowed and familiar. #
  • Wish I could scrobble all the tracks playing here to Last.fm in realtime. #
  • Missing @gahlovikram. Hell, we could have done some serious singing out loud now. #

  • The phone starts working. Finally! #
  • At Bangalore for yet another horrible meeting addled day. Why am I doing this? #
  • Jammed. Badly. And to think there’s going to be 6 hours of meetings after this! #
  • It is embarrassing when you are asking intelligent questions in a meeting but client servicing is undoing you by asking equally lame things! #
  • Off for lunch. #
  • Gah! Did I not mention before that I hate madrasi food? Especially the kinds served here! #
  • Done with what these people pass off as lunch in these parts. How come these people manage to ingest it every day? #
  • @sumants @awtaney Generic south Indian thaali served at the client’s canteen. Believe me, its bad. #
  • Can something be done about the fact that I’m feeling very, very sleepy now? #
  • Attempted to demo a Flex site on a Data Card. Colossal failure. Had to finally use the client’s laptop with the office-broadband. #
  • @ruch Doesn’t work for me. For I always have to be this Technology Dude who’s doling out gyaan, with everybody else staring wide eyed! #
  • Meeting draws to a close. I’m going offline soon. Mac battery at 14% now. #
  • Fucking Airtel SIM! It miraculously STOPPED WORKING again. Is it on drugs or something? As usual Customer Service Rep is useless! #
  • Thats all folks. I think I’m done here. #
  • Airtel had barred my outgoing communication WITHOUT ANY REASON WHATSOEVER! Said system error. FAIL! #
  • Switching to a dumbphone has made me realise how badly the cell info display has gotten raped by mobile companies! #
  • Enough fooling around. Off to sleep now. Good night, all. #

  • I have a fucked throat and a heavy head. I wonder why I came to work in the first place. #
  • Retweeting @manuscrypts Yangst - the feeling when a CEO has to step down from this role in the company he co-founded #
  • I love the new sourceforge.net look and feel. #
  • Trying to install the MG880 (Reliance NetConnect) Data Card on Leopard. This needs some minor hackery. Lets see how it goes. #
  • At home, online using the ZTE MG880 which has now been configured to work with my Macbook. #
  • @garimadhiman If you are on Windows, Chrome is your best-choice browser! #
  • @garimadhiman Ah, well. Only after switching to a webkit based browser do you realise how horribly bloated the Mozilla Gecko is! FF? FAIL! #
  • @garimadhiman Oh well. I can email you on it if you really need to understand, but for now, take my word for it :-) #
  • @garimadhiman Err, from google.com/chrome. Thats how everyone gets it. Do you have a firewall problem? #
  • @Aalaap Dude it just got launched. Patience. #
  • Got a replacement Airtel SIM around an hour ago. This thing will still take another 4 hours to start working. Never losing phone again! #
  • @sourceforge Anytime :-) #
  • Just had a brilliant hot shower. Was feeling slightly feverish before but the shower has done wonders. #
  • Weird, why am I sweating so much all of a sudden! #
  • 4 hours up. The SIM has failed to work. Customer Care most unhelpful. They say they’ve already activated it but the SIM must have a problem! #
  • Customer Service Rep refused all help and ask me to go the the gallery again. This is seriously not done. Fuck you, Airtel! #
  • @hiway Wouldn’t have minded! #
  • Only recently have I realized how horribly lame Facebook Applications are. A year ago, I used to educate clients on benefits of having one! #
  • @ruch Pray, what did you find so mad? We are just ordinary people living our lives and sharing our ideas and frustrations online! #
  • Man. Is browser based RSS Reading weak or what? #
  • Now WTF is a Blackberry Javelin? #
  • What I hate about NewsGator, the website is the fact that they built it in ASP.net. Man, are those URLs ugly or what? #

  • @sarahlane Oh nothing. I guess I was just in a bad mood, thats all. Sorry. #
  • I totally hate those moments at work when I don’t know where to start. #
  • The internet connection at work is very badly raped. How do I manage to live with this? #
  • Forgot to add ‘as usual’. #
  • Slow day. #
  • Confused with life. I kind of don’t know where I’m going. Or at least It feels that way. #
  • @krug95 My life aint mapped on GPS! #
  • The webchutney.net Gtalk channel has no one left. Maybe I shouldn’t be the only one. #
  • @b50 Cute chicks are allowed certain privilages. #
  • @gautamghosh They are kind of used to it. So many people on their lists do it. #

  • Back to work on Monday after spending the weekend completely disconnected. Never imagined that losing Blackberry would be so brilliant! #
  • Today is Trance monday. #
  • Just flabbergasted looking at IBM’s project plan to move a client’s web presence to a different physical location. These guys are jobless! #
  • All that is needed is movement of some Joomla files + a MySQL DB. You don’t need a 3 page project plan for that! #
  • I’m not listening to a track called ‘Whore House’. No matter dark it promises to be. One has to draw some lines SOMEWHERE! #
  • @gurupanguji Sorry can’t share it. Client related stuff. But I assure you it is a great insight into corporate decadence. #
  • Listening to this track which has a chorus “Burn motherfucker”. Feels highly liberating. #
  • A client just uttered the exact words ‘I want to use my tool on it’. I won’t share the context. #
  • @Bhooshan Trance track. Artist: Nilu, Title: Burn, Album: Endangered Species. #
  • @b50 Man, thats weak! #
  • Gonna go grab a bite at Subway. #
  • @krug95 The new bond aint happening. Somehow Pierce Brosnan ‘fit’ the role. This guy doesn’t. He can’t carry off fighting crooks in a suit! #
  • I hate visiting online Forums without a search feature. What were those people thinking? #
  • Serious work done today. GTD list down to 4 easily addressable items. Am I good or what? #
  • Done for the day. Good night, you all. #
