Excerpt: After a tumultuous fifteen days after my order, Amazon the much celebrated book people, finally managed to deliver my books today. It has been a while since I last shopped from Amazon, when I had bought a book for one of my academic modules back in March 2004 and then again in December 2005 for one of Arti’s modules. I was quite happy with their service then. Not to mention that I am really pleased with their DVD rental service. But on this occasion, I had to order twice to get my books and I also had to write to…

Excerpt: Fate they say is not without a sense of irony Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus – The Matrix Strange it may seem, but just after I finished writing this entry and met a few friends for our weekly social gathering, someone walked away with my girlfriend’s bag that had the ‘apple of my ears’. My prized possession, to be sold to some cheap deal hunter over the internet! But in case if any of you come across, it is a white 30 GB iPod with the engraving ‘My girlfriend’s new job paid for this iPod’. ‘Hoping against hope’ I must say! Anyway, I won’t…
A Quick Update!

Excerpt: I had to write this and grab an opportunity to bask in the limelight among those who read this. But this whole installation thing messed up my post. Anyway, as I had mentioned earlier, I recently had an opportunity to write a guest article about the importance of buying ethically sourced flowers for an All Green Blog managed by a group of like minded people. The post is finally up and you can read it here. Also, after seeing Will doing most of the work on our company blog, I managed to write a first post for Arena Flowers which…
Demons of the Blogosphere!

Excerpt: After four weeks of registering the domain and three weeks of setting up the blog, I have finally managed to slay the demons of PHP and Wordpress, which were bothering me with some real complicated codes. Of course, if you choose to run a Wordpress installation with minimum customisation, it is one the simplest programmes to run. However, as a novice in PHP scripting, I found it extremely complicated to customise the blog in a way I wanted to. Having said that, now when I look back at how I have struggled in these past four weeks to…

Excerpt: Today, Arti left for Tokyo for a week on business…while she is away, I thought I will put my mind to work and come up something extremely intelligent for my blog. But it looks like its a no go, because I am distracted with so many things around me. I have been planning this article for three hours now and these are the first words I came up with…EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT! Anyways, to drive it forward I recently signed up with Amazon for their DVD rental service, highly recommended by one of Arti’s colleagues. It is one of the cheapest DVD rental…
There is a THING in my pocket…

Excerpt: Sounds like an absurd title until you hear it completely. Not surprisingly, this is an ad campaign for Nokia’s new gadget killer, Nokia N95, one of my recent additions. To begin with, I am a gadget freak. I love all newly introduced technological marvels and go out of my way to gain possession of whatever is affordable. For the last seven years, ever since I started using a mobile phone back in India, I have been a proud owner of number of phones, including a Nokia 8850, 6820, 3110i, 9500, N70, Motorola A925, Samsung N620 and E720. But none of…
Dissappeared!

Excerpt: My over ambitious intent to unleash my creativity backfired. Instead of writing content for my next blog, I am filling in for a previous blog. I decided to tweak a line of PHP coding to improve the aesthetic feel of my blog, without backing up my database…result – My two hours of wordy comfort…disappeared in two secs! An inauspicious beginning…never mind, now that I have added blogging for SEO as a part of my job profile, I will have so much to write. Yes, I am blogging about the Importance of buying ethically sourced flowers for an All Green Blog, in…
Finally!

Excerpt: I have a blog, although this is not my first effort. I have been exploring options of blogging for a while now. Ever since I came to the UK, people back in India always would ask how I felt to be in the UK, how different it is to study in the UK and also if I was feeling a bit lonely being on my own. I was tired of answering the same questions again and again, so I had thought of hosting a personal website to highlight and share my experiences with everyone back home. That was in January…
