Shitsvilla! 2008-08-26 12:44:00 "Reality Shows" (Be patient and please don't groan.. I know everyone seems to be discussing this shit nowadays, but I promise to keep you well-humoured right till the end of this post!) seem to be the in-thing nowadays. Right from Kaun Banega Crorepati, which brought in a refreshing change from the ubiquitous saas-bahu sagas; to MTV Roadies which changed the way the youth in India think (!) today;
A New Look for my Webspace! 2008-08-23 12:11:00 I would like to thank my dear friend Shubhada profusely, for recommending the template website to me today morning! Thanks to her (and to Shantanu too, let's give him credit for having discovered the site!), I can now boast of having a slick and swanky web page!The new template is simple, has 2-columns (as I always prefer), doesn't have gaudy graphics or annoying fonts faces, yet looks very elegan
What does Nagpur city lack? 2008-08-20 02:00:00 Within a relatively short span of around fifteen years, we have seen if not thousands, hundreds of IT-sector companies mushrooming up in cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune. Rightly so, Bangalore is called the IT-hub, or the Silicon Valley of India. Chennai and Mangalore have played "fringe-players" to Bangalore, in the sense that over the years, the IT industries spilled over to t
The "perfect" outing... 2008-08-09 00:50:00 "Hey ppl what say for a picnic on 6th? I have seen a spot similar to JTYJN picnic spot...!", read Vishesh's SMS that he sent on 2nd August. The lukkha that I am nowadays, I agreed to be a part of the picnic group, still sceptical about how JTYJN-ish the picnic spot would be. "...there will be waterside but we can't swim..can just play around.." That was what Vishesh's next message informed me whe Read more:outing
Despair..Dejection.. And a glimmer of hope.. 2008-08-05 05:11:00 The verdict has been passed. The Bombay High Court refused to give permission to abort the 26-week old foetus with a congenital heart disorder, after it rejected the plea to terminate pregnancy, filed by the young mother Mrs. Niketa Mehta. Mr. Haresh and Mrs. Niketa Mehta after the verdict was passed by the Bombay High Court. (Photo courtesy: TOI)With the ruling that the the Hon. High Court has pa
Dazed..And confused..And feeling low too... :( 2008-08-04 12:26:00 Things have been moving really slowly since the past few days. I haven't been able to complete all that I started writing... The past couple of days have been funny - high on emotions and sentiments..I'll probably remember these days for the rest of my life... Rupal left for Georgia early today morning. It's now that I realize how fast time has flown away... :( I spent the entire day today, remem Read more:confused
Saluting the spirit! 2008-07-30 10:53:00 I have been to CCD (Cafe Coffee Day, for slow pokes) umpteen number of times. Right since my days in college (and beyond college too!), CCD has been like a second home. With Bhaskar, Gaurav, Santa and sometimes Sid, Mondal and Swapnil for company, the CCDs in Nagpur at PC, Maitree, Pratap Nagar and VCA (in declining order of our frequenting them) saw many a Bakar sessions take place amongst us!

The "Litmus-test" 2008-07-27 13:09:00 Bangalore...Ahmadabad....Where next? This has been the question on everyone's mind since the double terror strike left the entire nation stunned. Nagpur, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad...Every big city is now being looked at, as a soft target...What crossed my mind was, I had been Pune since 2 days... Two separate cities had been targeted each day... What next?? Could Pune city be next on the hit-list
Killing boredom....And laziness! 2008-07-25 10:17:00 Welcome to my blog! (This is supposed to be more of a welcome to myself....I have been extremely lazy over the last so many months to actually take up blogging!) This has been at the back of mind since ages now, but as I said, it was my laziness rather than anything else, that kept me from taking the plunge into the blogosphere.Currently (July 25th to 29th, 2008) I am in Pune city to take a test Read more:Killing
Mother India loses a brave son 2008-09-19 11:49:00 In the wake of the serial blasts at New Delhi, information was received from intelligence inputs that a bunch of suspected terrorists was putting up inside a residential block in South Delhi's Jamia Nagar. A police picket comprising of 20 policemen headed by Delhi police's best man, Inspector Mohan Chand Sharma reached the place to apprehend the suspected terrorists. The holed up suspects opened f Read more:India
Life's little pleasures! 2008-09-18 13:25:00 Since I have nothing to do nowadays, owing to the postponement of my joining date at Pune, I have been coming up with different ways to pass time and keep myself occupied. After thoroughly having enjoyed four very eventful years of college, the last 4-odd months have been very very boring, to say the least.What can I do today...? This question did not crop up in my mind even once in the last four Read more:little
In transition.. 2008-09-16 21:15:00 I was very excited when I stumbled upon the "Hobbit" theme that I am currently using. I tried playing around with the source of the template to sort out spacing issues, but since most of the spacing has been resolved using graphic images, there was very less that I could change without actually replacing the images. The problem with the current template is that a lot of space is being wasted. More
Why I love Google.. :) 2008-09-05 12:30:00 Google, with its latest launch Google Chrome has leapt into the ever-raging browser war. Over the last four years Mozilla corporation's Firefox browser managed to capture a fifth of the usage share among all web browsers, second only to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Although Internet Explorer still continues to be the most widely-used browser, the latest foray by Google into the browser segment, Read more:Google
Ganpati Bappa Morya! 2008-09-03 13:57:00 It is that time of the year again! Ganpati Bappa has paid His yearly visit to his devotees. The next ten days to come shall see joyous revelry all around.Ganpati Puja at my place is relatively a low-key afair. The Puja was done in the morning today, and we'll bid farewell to the almighty tomorrow evening. In all, a 36-hour affair! We are Kokanasthas, you see... We believe in being practical and h
GVC - Dhamasaan Kudi Part 7 2008-09-02 10:28:00 Recap: The pow-wow continues in the toilet at Cinemax complex where the slug-fest is still on. A lot of startling revelations have been made.. Who we thought was the hunky Krissh, turned out to be a wannabe wimp named Harman Baweja, whose only claim to fame is that he is the doggy boyfriend of flop actress Priyanka Chopra. Finally, the all-powerful Rajnikant is summoned to try and over-power Virus
D. Kudi Part 7 delayed :( 2008-09-01 10:27:00 I am extremely sorry for the inexplicable delay in putting up the next part in our Dhamasaan Kudi series. I was occupied in college since yesterday and couldn't get the time to type the ending to the story... I'm working on it and I'll post the last part asap.. Watch out!!-HK1st September '08 Read more:delayed
Group Virtual Creation - Dhamasaan Kudi Part three 2008-08-29 14:42:00 Warning: It was past 12:00 in the night, when the idea of writing this shit stuff came to my mind. What follows, is absolutely mindless and senseless stuff. Reader discretion is expected while reading this text. The views expressed here, are my own, and have been written with the sole aim of creating crass humour. I apologise, if it unknowingly hurts anyone's feelings and sentiments.Continuing wit Read more:Group

A day in the wilds of Tadoba Tiger Reserve 2008-09-30 03:30:00 I had gone to Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve
for a day-long visit on 28th. I accompanied Dr. Arunkumar Kholkute, a retired veterinarian, (and a distant relative of mine) on his official visit. Dr. Kholkute was visiting the reserve to supervise the care being given to the female elephant there, who gave birth to a calf 5 days ago. So the 5-day old elephant calf was the main attraction of the visit!We
What's the ruckus for? 2008-09-28 12:52:00 I hate discussing cricket. We have an entire nation that thrives on discussions about the game. I hate discussing cricket, not because I can't understand the sport, but because I find the activity absolutely futile. The point that I intend to put forward in this post, is beyond the game. Understand this, and then proceed.Of late there has been a hue and cry in the Indian media about Greg Chappell'
The new template is finally up! And running! 2008-09-27 11:31:00 It's taken really long. A month to be precise. But I'm happy at the outcome.I picked up this template
from a free wordpress themes website and changed the theme code to make it compatible with blogger. It wont be correct on my part to take credit for either the layout or the code. All I did was that I slogged hard, acted smart, and brought together hundreds of code snippets and put them in the cor Read more:running
A new place.. And a new start!! 2008-10-17 13:25:00 Finally!! I finally joined Tech Mahindra today. This has been one long wait, but the end (or should I say beginning?) came swiftly and as a huge surprise! As I went through the activities throughout the day, I kept my eyes and ears wide open for anything "interesting" and kept making mental notes of all that I saw or heard. I mainly did this because I knew that I would be writing a post here at th
The Coup.. 2008-10-16 06:45:00 When Shubhi wrote her To Pune post 10 days ago, I felt elated for her. After all, her frustrating yet patient, 3-month wait had come to an end. However, I also couldn't help feeling frustrated at my own plight. I knew that I had wasted more than 5 months just waiting for joining, but the actual gravity of the situation hit me only on 5th October. Call it mere frustration or peer pressure, but some
New theme - Bugs (IE related) 2008-10-13 13:25:00 It has been observed that this site shows errors (and throws up badly) when viewed in Internet Explorer (5+). From what I figured out, this is because of the JSON script that hides a part of the post.. Another script that's causing the site to throw up is the script that's handling the recent comments widget...And I thought, I had finally addressed all the layout-related
issues.. :(Note: If you ar
New Look v2.0 2008-10-12 02:35:00 It's been some while since I wrote something here. Many reasons. One of them being that I was busy perfecting the look of this blog.Complete lack of activity has meant that I have had all the time in the world to sit and experiment with different options to change the way I display stuff on this blog. And yet I'm miles away from making "that perfectly SEO-ed blog"!Over the last couple of weeks, I
