I really really must update this blog more often...

Today is the Brand Equity Quiz. The largest Quiz show in Asia. Pity I can't take part... Why? Cause My Company is hosting it... boo hoo.

ok I'm going back to work now. I have to do a research presentation on The Times of India in the city of Delhi. Times of India for those who don't know is the world's largest English Broadsheet publication... and is part of the Bennet Coleman and Co Ltd. India's largest Media house bar none :)

I wonder when will blogger fix that time glitch. India timezone still doesn't show :(

another day begins, wonder what this has in store. I downloaded the new Internet Explorer Beta here, with smart tags et al. Must say the Outlook splash screen looks mind blowing. It seems to be more stable than the earlier preview release. The smart tags are neat, but I wonder as to how useful they might prove in the course of ordinary browsing??

Bah that Tom Clancy book Line of Control sucks, no sense of reality or perspective

I think I shall call it a day today too many mp3's today will try out that morpheus bit tomorrow

I wonder if anybody in India reads newsgroups my new timepass, newsgroups

i found another free phone call to the US service here .

I'm 21 today. What a glorious day

My favourite place of the lot is Pune. This maybe so because I did my graduation here and lived here foir two years in a hostel.I visit this place once in a couple of months, the fact that this place is only 4 hrs away also helps. A very very nice place to live in, I'd like to live here, if I I get a job or something like that. This place is a 4 hour train ride from Bombay, and a retirement city so to speak. though it is changing for the better now. It is more and more becoming a young persons city, somewhat like Bangalore. God I love this city, wish I could stay here for ever.

From the West of the Country I went all the way to the North East. The next city I lived in was Guahati. This city is the largest in the entire North Eastern Part of India. It has a very famous temple called the Kamakhya which has been filthly maintained. Also famous in this region is the Assam Silk Saree, which was exported by my Mother to all her relatives all over the country and abroad. We went to several places in Assam and the neighbouring states. Some of the places we went to were Cherapunji(Highest Rainfall in the world). We also went to the Kaziranga National park, famous for the One Horned Rhino. Generally an okay city if you can put up with the people who cannot speak English or Hindi properly and not to mention the fact, that they invariably mispronounce your name. An interesting superstition is that you cannot leave Assam unless you have crossed the Bramhaputra at least seven times. If you do leave before you have done so, you are destined to come back. I don't thi...

Kota is the place of the day, this city has the unique distinction in India to be the host for different kinds of power plants namely, Thermal, Hydroelectric and Nuclear power plants. Your's truly has visited them all. This city is also in the western state of Rajasthan. It is very hot here in the Summer and almost nobody uses an Air Conditioner. This place afforded the only stability for any length of time. As I did my Class 10th 11th and 12th here. Had a generally fun time, as everybody does in the final years of school. We visited a lot of places in Rajasthan from here. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Bharatpur(the bird sanctuary), Mathura and had almost decided to go to Delhi in the same trip but wiser counsel prevailed. I will want to go to this place, just to revive the memories of the good old days of school and the like.

Domains domains and more domains, I want more

My posts to the blog will still be daily though erratic. This is because of me going underground to prepare for the upcoming interview in Calcutta, so I need to get in Shape and real fast that too. Anybody who has a magic bullet for weight loss may please contact me . That's all for today folks.

The next city in the current series is Allahabad. This city lies on the confluence of the three rivers the Ganges, the Yamuna and the Saraswati. However, if you pick up the Atlas, you'll see that there are only two rivers. What about the third river? Well! it is mythological. Yes that's right it's Mythological. it is reputed that the river Saraswati flowed there and due to some event (I don't remember what) it went underground out of shame. The rivers in India have been personified, that's how the shame factor comes into the picture. Anyway back to the city, A nice city to live in. I did my class sixth and seventh here in different schools, namely the St Joseph's College and The Kendriya Vidyalaya, Manauri. After this city I've always studied in Kendriya Vidyalayas(Central Schools in Hindi). Amazingly there is nothing very remarkable about this city as far as modern times go. But this city is steeped in Indian Mythology. Lord Ram is said to have been he...

I'm registering domain by the dozen, u'r right I've nothing better to do.

I'm sick of looking for travel quotes for a round trip to the US. I was looking for the cheapest one available, but no luck so far. I'm playing rinra-ringa-roses and they send me from one place to another. Why am i looking for a round trip ticket to the US? Cause my Mum has to go towards June this year. and what about me? not for another 10 years at least. PS If anybody can help me, please email me . with quotes of flights, to New York from Bombay (or Mumbai) on the first sunday of June and returning around the the second week of August (yah, a very long time).
