Am utterly overwhelmed with tech issues of late….
PC: One hard disk went kaput recently, and I did a reinstall of the OS. Since then, the other hard disk has stopped working. Sometimes the PC just doesn’t load. The system appears to be overheating,and just shuts off sporadically.
Mobile: The screen of the N95 went black during […]
Well, a rather surprising, albeit boring budget. PC’s gone ahead and tried to please everyone, perhaps at the cost of corporate India. The 6000 crore waiver to farmers sounds good on paper, but there’s apparently a fine-print. I’m not too worried about the cost to the government - after all, money is a flow and […]

There was an incident in a Tottenham game a few months ago, very shortly after Juande Ramos had taken over as the manager of the struggling team, that caught my attention. Soon after being substituted, midway through the second half of a successful game, a player (I don’t remember who) was walking straight into the […]

“What’s your name?”
“Nikhil”
“Your full name.” It was a command, not a question, but he smiled to make up for the fact that he had been curt. “And where are you from?”

He wouldn’t tell me, saying that […]

so, like I’d mentioned earlier, I intend to go for a lot more events this year (and finish work by 6:30ish every evening). Since I’ve been out of the events loop for a while now, please do CC/forward me any event related mails/invites (Jai: if you’re reading this, please do send the habitat newsletter). So […]

It’s been a hectic month so far, spent mostly driving around the city trying to get a space that was ideal for our ContentSutra mixer in Delhi. In the end, we went with the Ambassador - partly because it among the few that available on the chosen date (this being the wedding season), and partly […]

Saturday was a day of major purchases for me: bought a nice and wide 17″ LCD monitor, a new laptop, a Seagate FreeAgent 160 GB external HDD and 1GB of RAM for the now stuttering PC.
Buying the laptop
The parents were with me, since the laptop is (was?) for them: we went to the Toshiba, HP, […]

Thankfully, “cute” was not a word that came to mind when I saw Verbatim, a six minute short film by my friend Jugal. Watch the film here on YouTube, and to feel free to call the film cute in the comments…that should piss off Jugal. :D
It reminds me of a story I’d written, The Wish, […]

Update: “The Henry Miller Moment” is now a meme. I tag Shefaly, Jai, Amit, K and Annie: What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen someone do at a conference?
Original post: I’d attended the Fortune Global Forum in Delhi last month. On Day 2 of the conference (Oct 30th), the Finance Minister of India - P. Chidambaram […]
