New features in iPhone 3.0 firmware
Apple recently released the 3rd iteration of its iPhone software bringing it a few steps closer to perfection. Its amazing how apple not only manages to generate buzz for it's products but also for the firmware upgrades of its products. The iPhone OS 3.0 upgrade is available free of cost for iPhone users but iPod Touch users will have to shell out $9.95 for the same but I am sure some smart cracker will find a way to get the 3.0 firmware onto the iPod touch for free. What's new in iPhone firmware 3.0? Cut-Copy-Paste: Apple made a lot of people unhappy ...
Indian elections 2009 coming soon..
Will Mayawati succeed in becoming the Prime Minister of India or would Sharad Pawar manage to pull a coup? That’s the million dollar question doing rounds on the dinner table of most of us Indians these days. Unlike earlier, elections are no longer about Congress versus BJP, they are more about coalitions versus coalitions. Mergers and acquisitions are what the political doctors have ordered for the aspirant PMs of the country. So you have the BJP-BJD marriage breaking up in Orissa, Shiv Sena getting back together with BJP after threatening to file for divorce while it still continues to flirt with ...
All one: The Dance of Shiva
We all live in polarized world. We breathe in a world where people take pride in being distinct from each other. The polarization theory has crept into the society so badly that its ugly manifestations are witnessed from the micro to macro level. What is even worse is that polarization gives an opportunity to each sect, community or any group to claim superiority over the other. Our minds have succumbed to this nasty game so much that we have started discriminating against our own countrymen in schools, colleges and workplaces. Colleges have become a new playground of creating disharmony. Prominent B–schools ...
Amazon’s Kindle, an iPod for books
Here's a small riddle! What weighs a little more than 10 ounces, is about the size of a paperback book and costs $399? It is Amazon's Kindle, a device which helps you read upto 200 eBooks with a built in 256 Mb memory (and another 180 Mb free). Like a cell phone, it has wireless connectivity to the web allowing the users to download e-books, subscribe to magazines and blogs directly from Amazon.com. This is for the first time that Amazon has ventured in the computer hardware market and it is being compared to Apple's iPod which changed the way ...

Same but different.
The phrase (if it can be called that) sounds like a kid attempting to learn the English language and is yet to figure out that same and different are not supposed to be used together. But it’s not way off from the truth.

If you are one of those fortunate ‘Me Mumbaikar’ then you must have witnessed one of 21st century’s great experiments being carried out by none other than the reverent political babus of our city. Yes the same babu who is known for his inefficiency and corruptness.

You look forward to some pleasant deviations in your mail box, especially at a time when you are stuck in the office at midnight trying to solve some software bug! When a friend mailed me the link to the masterpiece above, she’d turned my 5 minutes of that day into sheer bliss.

I recently underwent a Grade 3 surgery. It was for multiple kidney stones stuck in the urinary tract. The scans and X- ray showed 5 radio lucent stones lined up in my urinary tract like pearl beads in a necklace. My Doctor was wondering how I managed this feat at such a young age!
