Barack Obama is my Twitter Friend

So finally I thought I will revive my Twitter account created an year ago.

I will be honest and acknowledge that I was always jealous of hearing so much of twittering in media and not able to do anything worthwhile with it, so finally I searched around the net and sat about to make sense of it all.

There are two things that came out of my googling, either you have a group of friends that uses twitter excessively, which I don't, or start following popular twitters to get some friends and some activity on your home page.

The second option got my followers/following counter to bump up substantially in about 10 minutes :).

Try http://twitterholic.com/top100/followers/ for starts, and see what Barack Obama has to say to me !!

Those Bastards - Delhi Bomb blast

It started as a good day, after four weeks I did not have my mysterious weekend fever. I was thinking about reviewing the amazing Chrome from Google or just write about my best friend, Monu's , engagement. And then as the French said, Le temps détruit tou , Delhi was shattered by the Bomb blasts, as of now I am not sure if the mayhem is over, there were four Blasts around Delhi and it was, mildly put, Sickening. Suddenly my gut twisted, as I saw the places where I have spent most of my times shopping, having fun, hanging around since my childhood, turned to hell. Twisted metal, blood, wounded injured bodies, Fear and tears in everyone's eyes. These places were frequented by young people, all of them were in prime of their lives. Many are dead, some will be disabled, some will go back home with memories of this evening haunting them for ever. It saddens me, I am not sure if I ever had this feeling before - the anger, the fear of uncertainty, the sorrow, the ache in my heart a

Bygone days !!

I had planned to start updating this blog only when I get a broadband at home. Had been wasting precious time at office on this. But it seems that it will take ages for me to get a broadband, reasons vary from bureaucracy in public sector to selfish economic interests of Pvt. Sector :) So here I am with nothing new to say, so may be we can discuss past. I was in one of my MS classes, the ‘supporting-your-eyelids-with-your-hand-lest-they-close’ kind of class, when our teacher narrated this interesting purchase by NCDC, India somewhere in 1980’s. NCDC stands for National Cooperative for Development Cooperation, one of the numerous government organizations setup primarily to spend money and make there bosses rich :). So NCDC ordered a computer with following configuration in early 80’s RAM 128 KB HDD 10 MB FDD yes, supported 360 KB floppies (now comes the best part) Speed 5 MHz in Turbo Mode I did not ask for more information, as speaking up generally attracts attention, and that is n

Finally Renault comes with an AT

Image
Renault, Nissan and Fiat have been the biggest laggard in Indian market. Renault has been happy with its success of Duster but was caught napping with the onslaught of Suzuki and Hyundai's cross over vehicles. Even though Creta from Hyundai and X-cross from Suzuki are smaller than Duster, there appeal and build quality has made them favorites of the Indian customers. Renault took a long time (more than 2 years) to bring its next generation Duster in India. The only interesting thing in this launch is the fact that Renault has come up with a  automatic transmission in its Diesel variant. There is almost no competition in the Diesel AT space at this price range in India. There are only four options (below) and none of them is a cross over vehicle. Skoda Rapid Volkswagen Vento Hyundai Verena Tata Zest Good luck to Renault, the last slump in sales hopefully brought down the snobbishness from there sales staff !     Team BHP review of Duster
