Learn Presentation from Jobs

Though I really don’t go gaga over the presentations made by Steve Jobs, I do agree that he is a very successful presenter.

Firstly, I feel that he repeats too often and uses the same ‘wow’ words over and over again. Maybe it is just me, but although I find it irritating, I am sure that [...]

Do yourself a favor this Republic Day

… and watch the original Mile Sur Mera Tumhara.

Unable to understand Antitrust regulations

Interestingly, I was thinking to blog about this since a couple of days and incidentally, today, the EU has approved the merge of Oracle and Sun which it had previously put on hold citing Antitrust regulations. Well, I just understand this entire concept. They say that if a (stronger) company acquires another (weaker) company, [...]

To be in the Forefront of a Programming Revolution

I was reading a book on COM the other day. Why, you ask? Since I am working on some stuff that needs the use of COM and I haven’t a damn clue on what it is about and how it is programmed. Well then, I was reading this book and the foreword has been written [...]

A few months back, in office, they replaced all the paper cups with Porcelain mugs in the name of being environmentally conscious.

Blog and Gallery Launches

You would have read earlier in this blog post, on how I got fed up and bored of photography, due to lack of time and unable to dedicate myself to it. Well, that feeling was there only for a couple of days. It is like that old saying, you can take a fish out of [...]

Chetan Bhagat = CB = Cry Baby

I had been planning to write about this since a while back, but somehow I was so put off by the childishness of this entire incident that I never got myself to do it. In fact I the entire incident between CB and 3Idiots(the movie) left such a bad taste in my mouth. I just [...]

No Auto Expo 2010 supplement of TOI in non city areas

Yesterday, Times of India was supposed to have carried a 4 page supplement of Auto Expo 2010 along with its paper. I searched all over for it, in between pages, and even outside my house on the ground but I couldn’t find it. I thought the paper delivery person had missed it .

Then I read [...]
