Its been a while since I've been at any serious GIG .. Well sometimes I think I'm getting old .. Last saturday good old yaminikant called up .. all charged up about the passes he had to this "rock show" . I was pretty dazed and lazed ;) till about 5:30 .. I thought of givin this "rock show" a try .. especially since I had a pass off a scrach-card during my last bottle of DSP black. We ended

Its been a year since I've been living in this City. I Don't really find a destructive potential in the population.. certailnly not like Mumbai or Kolkata. I just cant figure out why this sleepy little 'town' has been a terror target for the past couple of months . Now that I'm 'almost' a hyderabadi .. I have a little concern for this city .. Somebody should get there in the slums .. in the Old

Was speeding on my 16bhp baby when i sensed something snap .. And guess what it was ! The clutch cable .. If u 've been a biker , u'd know that a clutch cable snapping in the middle of the traffic is not a very nice thing to happen .. So i made it to office on low gear .. and called up the service center .. Sometimes i tend to forget that i'm livin in India .. and There is very little/ no concept

Dont see much on the blog front now .. I guess people are busy on Orkut .. Talking about some (mostly pointless ) stuff .. I'm as usual ... Chilling out .. code and wiki .. one major thing is gonna happen in my life .. Well .. let it unfold .. i'll keep my fingers crossed ..The Blog Ban by the Al Congress Qaieda has slowed down the bloggers i guess and the timely entry of orkut has contributed ..

Its 40.5 degrees Cent. I'm feeling like i'm in the middle of the Sahara .. I've got a sore throat and the heat is not helping at all .. On the brighter side , i've been writing some good stuff , which allows me to take the day off and hit the sack . But Should I ? .. Sometimes i feel like migrating to another place .. Its not difficult for a GSB to feel that way .. Not in a land where the

I don't have any fixed timings .. Which also means that I could be always "playin " or I could be always at "work" .. Anyways .. Have been reading about insomnia a lot .. Hope I don't turn out one .The night is sweet

Its 4 in the morning .. Just met Vickram online .. The city is asleep .. Just the street lights and the occasional milk van or inter state truck. Jethro Tull - "Aqualung" is playing through my headphones .. The AC vent is humming overhead .. I can hear each strum of the guitar strings .. I'm sleepy as the code flickers on the screen .. Sometimes I wonder if the screen is tired of staring at

I 've been listening to a lot of oldies these days .. Thanks to Radio Colorado which streams (128Kbps ) the good old 80's and 70's using a Shoutcast server .. And so my daily dose of music NOW includes Jimi Hendrix, The Beetles, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin , Simon & Garfunkel ( Adwait and others please dont hate me ;) ..) Anyways, its good to just relax sometimes .. And focus on somethng

Its been a month since i've shifted into my new apartment .. Has anything changed? .. Yes ofcourse .. I dont have an Idiot box here!! .. I sure miss the news and the Discovery channel .. but not having the TV has its own benefits .. You get back to that old hobby of yours called "reading" ..

Yes I did nothing .. People racing on the roads blowing their horns like its was "end of days " , all the news channels flooded with "so called" party clippings from around the country and some desperate crimes .. And every one was doing their best to bring in 2006 .. As if it were some mammoth sitting in one place , refusing to move ..I plonked on my bed, a couple of chilled Kingfishers by my

Installed skype on my slack box on friday .I had to test it, so i ran a random search of skype users online .There was a person called gregory from hungary.. I dialled in . After a couple of rings a coarse "hello" came from the other end of the line ..

It was a Wednesday evening. Somehow I had this urge to eat chicken Xacuti . Now that's a tough find in Hyderabad I guess. So I decided to go to an Andhra restro and eat some "natu kodi pulusu " .. Chaitra is one place where u get good authentic Andhra food . I reached chaitra at about 7 . The place was closed . The watchman standing outside signaled at a small sign which read 7:30-10:30 . I
