Finally my second pair of EP-630s arrived today evening, from Infibeam.com. Ankit had introduced me last year to IEMs (In-Ear Monitors). Well, quite a few others also used it, but he went a step ahead and straight-away gifted them to me. The most popular one of the lot, in the … Continue reading →

Hathway Internet upgrade to 2Mbps

Nishant — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 09:01:51 +0000

After struggling on the 512Kbps plan, as I earlier posted 2 years back, I finally got a chance to jump directly to 2Mbps.

Back when my phone was new in the dev scene, around May 2011, there was just 1 custom ROM (VillianROM) which I played around with and ended up screwing up my phone and faced service center woes. Finally gathered up the courage to return to the flashing scene, after having … Continue reading →

Which Bourbon person are you?

Nishant — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:36:59 +0000

No we’re not talking about the Bourbon whiskey. The more familiar Bourbon, which are the sugar-sprinkled, sandwiched chocolate cream biscuits. Until a few years back, asking for a Bourbon biscuit at the store didn’t give you much choices as you get today. Bourbon (in India) was, as far as I … Continue reading →
