I thought about it a lot and now its time for a change.As of today I have moved all the old posts to a wordpress blog and from today my future posts will be at the new site located here:-http://ruman.wordpress.com/So this seems to be the final post for now on blogger. I waited for them to change the interface, make things easier but WP just gets me at the moment and maybe this is what I need to

Its been real cloudy in Mumbai lately and that made me think of this:-Rare Cloud FormationsEnjoy.p.s. This weekend I hope NOT to be doing much beside being forced to shop for clothes by my mom and giving hookah-recovering buddy some company at a small place thats become our hangouts of sorts called masala chai... Let me know if you've ever visited the place.

My leg started hurting yesterday. I haven't mentioned it to anyone yet but it feels like thousands of pins in one of my knees when I climb stairs..Oddly enough, it began after I've been watching the American TV Show House on a daily basis.. House features an eccentric doctor who is a genius/jerk and has chronic pain in the same knee as mine.Coincidence is for people who lack imagination.

Its that time of the year in Mumbai. Rains have come early this year but they could not have come at a better time.The heat was really killing this year. The temperature dropped 10 degrees in a day. That's something. Opened my windows at noon only to find it looking like 5 in the evening.At work today and already this Friday feels good. Looking forward to yet another weekend of debauchery.

Wow, fitting that the weekend the blog turned five would also be the weekend I would have the most fun and be the tiredest I've been in ages.Helped Team Rustic manage a corporate event (one of the biggest in the cities history) of epic proportions. Over 5 grand people, lots of noise, action, drama and the Kat herself - yes I spent some moments in proximity of Katrina Kaif and also Bipasha Basu -

Wow.. I'm really running out of things to say every April.As it so happens, tomorrow this blog completes FIVE whole years. Thats right, what started as a simple way to journal and chronicle my daily life and musings turned into first a link fest then a pic blog, a review site and finally completing the circle (since I graduated and ran out of time) into a personal diary of musings and such.In

Bravo.Jeffrey Archer returns to his best form in a modern day twist of an age old classic.I spent the night reading this thriller that turns into a raging inferno and then suddenly reminds us that revenge is a dish best served cold. I'll say no more but just this.The master is back. One of the quotes of the book: "Life is neither black nor white, simply different shades of Grey."A Prisoner of

I don't know if there is a word called adventuress but I'm gonna run with it cause thats the only thing to describe my friend Stacey.I met her through a cousin of mine who gave her my info just in case she needed some help in the other city that never sleeps (Mumbai) and oddly enough, she's never really needed it.Anyway, I will be hard pressed to find anyone having more or as much fun anywhere as

My computer at home has been down with a sickness for a week now and I haven't really tried to fix it much.Today I discovered just how much time I was wasting by being online and at the desktop now that I have so much extra time. We had family over the past one week so I thought that is why I did not miss it much but even today when the house was very quite, I managed to get so much done. I'm

It seems link blogs are the new in-thing nowadays. So many aggregators have sprung up just to collect shared items and links. I have quite a list I follow daily. Here it is via the big pimp Greader.Also, new feature on the right hand side. Most recent links shared will be displayed there so you can follow the stream of links from that as well.Enjoy.Powered by ScribeFire.

Been so busy this week its not funny.Submitted paperwork for a US Visa interview for next Tuesday. A week filled with proposals to be sent to clients, delivery dates for existing projects and other hustle bustle.In the middle of all this, I found some time to kick butt in our office LAN's Counter Strike tourneys every day. Having fun breaking the stress without some chillout gaming.Rock on.

Phew, what a weekend. I've probably just recovered from the highs. Friday night was a wedding of close friends followed by a quick exit to TGIF nights with the office gang. Saturday was Ghazals and Long Island Iced Teas.And finally on Sunday it was playing some cricket in the day time and then boozin with friends at a new nightclub close to my house called Indulge.All in all, a great weekend.

We need something similar to what they've done in Bogota. This is a very good read. If we get a better functioning mass transit system and cut down on traffic and pollution, we can really go places.Powered by ScribeFire.

And I'm back. Its been a while since my last post and I did get lot of comments and complaints that my blog wasn't being updated any more and today seemed like the right day to come back.Why today? I was reading about ScribeFire and the beta versions in yesteryear never seemed to work for me and I thought if it does work today, I'm back. Also, today is the 4th birthday of the company I work with

Had a busy day today. Watched History of Violence followed by gym and then watched Equilibrium. Both of them damn good movies in entirely different ways.Good stuff. Now at work. When I get back home tonight I'll play some Deus Ex (yes I'm having fun playing it again after 6 years. Also I'll catch up with Seinfeld season 5.
