Some New Changes

kinshuksunil — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:10:01 -0500

Hi! After a lot of experimentation and tidying up, I have finally settled for this theme. It is ‘WP-Polaroid’ by Adii. I like the theme and the whole final graceful look of it. For the first time, I also like how the way my ads are placed (finally yes). I had to do away with a [...]

What An Idea Sirji!

kinshuksunil — Mon, 12 May 2008 04:28:22 -0500

I had only heard about the abysmal quality of the Idea Customer Care but on 8th I managed to experience it first hand. It so happened that I had finally discovered Nokia Maps and how to use it on my N73M and a friend’s N95. So on 8th, after my End Term Semester Exam of [...]

The Little Thatched Hut

kinshuksunil — Thu, 15 May 2008 01:13:09 -0500

Yesterday, I was travelling from my home at Indirapuram to Gurgaon, just after the heavy winds and the light drizzle that brought a much-needed respite from the heat and humidity of summers. The pleasant weather was a blessing after everything we delhites have to duffer from in the name of summer. So, my route to Gurgaon [...]

Bidding Adieu

kinshuksunil — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:41:01 -0500

Two Years. Seven Hundred and Thirty One days. Seventeen Thousand Five Hundred and Twenty Hours. Over. The End. I, today, stand at that juncture in one’s life whence one phase ends and a new one begins. Ancient Indian System divides the life of any individual into four phases: Brahmacharya (Student phase; implies Discipline), Grihasthashrama (living in [...]

Dreaming with a Broken Heart

kinshuksunil — Wed, 28 May 2008 13:26:50 -0500

After a long time, I, once again share a beautiful song with you. This time it is ‘Dreaming with a Broken Heart’ by John Mayer. Do listen to it, it emotes strongly. When you’re dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed [...]

Annual Traditions

kinshuksunil — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 23:22:19 -0500

Just like annual bird migrations, it is a tradition of my windows PC to crash once every year. It crashed on the 13th of May 2007 and it has finally crashed again on the 2nd of June. This time however, this crash has been to my benefit. I have finally convinced my dad to upgrade the [...]

Payday Payday…. I’m Hit…

kinshuksunil — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:14:55 -0500

Ah Well, Lame Joke! I know. But today I received my first salary. Well its not the first, technically, because my first salary was earned somewhere in late 2004/early 2005 when Subodh shared a token from its first profits amongst its founding members. That salary was a token amount of Rs. 100 (great idea by [...]

Free Software vs Open Source

kinshuksunil — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:13:30 -0500

I am sharing with you an exchange of emails with someone from the Free Software Foundation, India, while working on the OSSCamp Delhi (September 2007). I am censoring it, snipping out few portions and identities from the email that would hint or disclose the other person’s identity for the sole reason that he never gave [...]

Home. Sweet Home. I am Back Home. Two days. 48 Hours of solitude. Of missing my family Of working in an unknown city, managing an unconference alone comes to an end. The pleasure, the misery, the elation, the pain, everything. Everything. This was my maiden trip without my family. My first Flying experience. I will document everything [...]

Day One: All Aboard!

kinshuksunil — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 07:13:56 -0500

Day One: All Aboard! I started for the Domestic Airport at Delhi at 10AM, July 18th. Terminal 1B. Once at the terminal, I was rather clueless of what to do and where to go. Its a good practice, thus, that people put placards/path-markers at public places to guide people such as me. I noticed the Spice jet [...]

Nahi Samne Tu

kinshuksunil — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:21:27 -0500

This song is ‘Nahi Saamne Tu’ from the movie Taal. You can hear it here: Nahi Saamne Tu And as usual, here are the lyrics. dekho [...]
