I understand you are sick of hearing it from everyone. I promise I wont talk about this cold winter again here. Since it is such a beautiful day today 01/28/2005 Friday 9.10 AM, I couldn’t stop crying.

Just five below our fridge’s freezer setting. You will know its a beautiful day like this when your nose [...]

SUN TV - Glimpses into a disgruntled viewer’s mind!

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

It is an unsurprising conincidence that srikanth wrote about Sun Tv’s dumb quiz today since I had something similar to write about in mind.
First, I am outraged as to why they dropped yesterday’s, “Chidambara Ragasiyam” the only series I watch. I make sure I dont go to Sun Tv even by mistake on another time [...]

Professional hockey circuit in India?

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005

[via another sudhar] Somehow I missed this wonderful thing happening to Indian hockey. Professional Hockey (code named PHL - Premier Hockey League) apparently has already begun in India. (Whole lot of media coverage at Rediff, PlantFieldHockey and ChennaiOnline) It will be a great boost to game’s image and certainly a big gain for the sponsors. [...]

Abdul Kalam speech

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

I recommend everyone to spend a few minutes and read Dr.Abdul Kalam’s address to the India on the eve of Jan 26th 2005, Republic Day.

The entire New Jersey was in a state of emergency. “People should stay home, no driving”. Thanks to the uninterrupted power supply a lot of us are alive today!
The scene around looks like a christmas fairy tale location. The blistering storm is still out there and scares us at times with its ghostly roar around [...]

Saturday, January 22nd, 2005

Long ago, I met Sodaplay and was instantly fascinated. I still yawn for spending a day to create my own soda. The creators of Sodaplay have already gone far ahead and invented yet another new gizmo, Moovl.
If you want to take a drive into the creative frontiers of your mind, take a look at Moovl [...]

Escaping the blizzard

Friday, January 21st, 2005

I dont intend to make another big deal out of the snow situation here. But as it stands today, the next two three days is going to get pretty nasty. With blizzard and snow storms hitting the tri-state area, we are expecting upto 2 feet of snow.

[I got a snap of it as things are [...]

The Cold Factor

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

5.30AM Bursting out of my log-like sleep, I wake up to the early morning praise of the Lord in the christian evangelical FM station from the alarm. Next split-second, without any conscious effort, my hand coming from somewhere beneath the layers of blankets and a comforter, bangs on the big snooze. Retire to dead-state. Scorching [...]

Friday, January 14th, 2005

The American National Intelligence Council reports, by 2020, they envision “a world profoundly changed” by rising powers, India and China.
Rising Powers: The Changing Geopolitical Landscape
However, Its not surprising to see China and the madly chasing India, mentioned all over this report. The political and economic community has been blowing this trumpet for a while [...]
