Tata Docomo has a new campaign headline: It pays 2b shrt. Thank you for making it clear that you mean to market to lamers only. No thanks. #
Just finished watching the season premier of V, the reimagining of a 1983 sci-fi series. This promises to be interesting. #

Reading about the Motorola Droid. Why is it that every new phone that comes out HAS TO be compared with the iPhone? #
The very fact that there needs to be a Guide to Google Wave for ordinary users says a lot for Google Wave, doesn't it? #

MTNL can't market itself for nuts. By default, they got the first mover advantage with 3G. And what did they do about it? Bollocks. #
A sign reads No parking in front of gate. Tires will be deflated. Now isn't that counterproductive? #
Oh, and I managed to watch Inglorious Basterds today. Loved it. #
@Jessica_ITHands for certain we shall speak on it, during the next TKM in reply to Jessica_ITHands #
@mahafreed quality tweets, eh? Whatever in God's unholy name is that? in reply to mahafreed #
@mahafreed I don't trust twitter is a medium you should be self conscious about while using. Just say what feels right is my mantra. in reply to mahafreed #

My brain has been fried by an overenthusiastic, underinformed client. Need 2 hours to recover. #
A guy just came up to me and said Saket? I was like, yeah dude do I know you? Turns out he was only asking directions. #
My visit to a local pathology lab was futile. Those people were reverse draculas. Turns out they suck blood only in the morning. #
@Jessica_ITHands Hey, thanks for listening. Glad you like TKM. The next episode should be out Sunday. in reply to Jessica_ITHands #
@Jessica_ITHands Yes, 3 key precautions: All desktop PCs virus free, Complex FTP passwords, Upgrade CMS to latest security releases, always. in reply to Jessica_ITHands #

Joomla's tag line 'because open source matters' is absurdly lame. You use stuff because its actually good, not just because its open source. #
via @vimoh: Now domain names can be registered in indic scripts. Hindi/Marathi domains on the horizon http://ff.im/-aAScK #
'Broken Promises', the latest PC vs Mac ad. http://bit.ly/4eMrPc #
Done with the hour long walk and shower. Now to catch up on reading. I've carried with me, two Murakami books for the express purpose. #
@purelynarcotic Elephant Vanishes, Norwegian Wood. Done reading Kafka On The Shore, Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman. in reply to purelynarcotic #
@Reetesh nope, not yet. Download queue was full. Been traveling, that sort of a thing. Will DL this weekend I suppose. in reply to Reetesh #
@purelynarcotic not yet. Is it any good? Somehow the blurb sounded cheesy, so didn't buy it. in reply to purelynarcotic #
@trippyhippy Wanting to opensource something is one thing. A product focusing on open-source as 'USP' as against quality is quite another. in reply to trippyhippy #

Just remembered: When I was new to Delhi, I always read Dhaula Kuan as Dhaula Kaun, and wondered who the fuck this Dhaula guy was. #

Watching a DVD Rip of Nirvana's Unplugged In New York performance. Never was a fan of concert videos, audio's fine, but this one's special. #
@bhas Mononova. Their torrent files have the most trackers. in reply to bhas #
@bhuto you should win like a best answer prize for that one. in reply to bhuto #
@giddyja Getting yourself a futuristic looking Alien hard disk would be most advisable. I recommend starting with 1TB in reply to giddyja #
