Charged Up

You can’t keep a good team down for long. The way Chargers shot back from 7th to 2nd position in a matter of 10 days show what the team is capable of. Now then, I am not going to talk about the 2 run loss with RR or the one where Harbhajan snatched away the match with his sloppy stick swinging called batting. That is all over now, Chargers are into the semi’s and that is what matters at the end of the day. The slate is wiped clean and it’s a completely new ball game from here on. Here’s what I am predicting – RCB beat Mumbai in the Semis and the finals will again be between DC & RCB – and may the best team win this time.

Tim is back to school again so I shifted the comp to my room (since my lappy conked off for the 3rd time and I don’t have the patience to get it fixed again) and the movie watching spree resumed after a long gap.

Started with As Good As It Gets after putting it off for so many years. It is such a good movie!! It shows you how greatly people with whom you interact (even briefly) every day influence your life. Helen Hunt looks so damn pretty in the movie. If you haven’t watched it yet, go grab it soon.

Here is another movie which I recommend, The Man from Earth. Just watch it. I don’t think I will be able to do justice to the movie here on this page. Just watch it :)

Oh, I almost forgot, I got myself a new camera, a Sony DSC HX1. Didn’t get a chance to really go out with it much yet, but will surely go in the next one month (kids in office are vexed up, want to go out for a weekend trip again…hmmm….. someplace cool this time…)

Here are a few shots.

















Some experiments with manual focus




Discovery Turbo - You got to have it :)




Yes, that my machine :) A Core 2 Duo 2.9 GHz, 4 gig RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9400 with 1 gig RAM and a 19” wide Samsung. That’s CoD Modern Warfare 4 running at max res :)


So, be ready for the finals this Sunday, RCB Vs DC :)

Come Back

It has been more than a year since I last posted anything on this page. Reason for the inactivity ….many. The main ones being lack of time/interest. Also, like many friends have already warned me, the initial josh of blogging slowly fades away as time passes. What has happened in the past 1 year? Well nothing much. I am still working at the same place doing the same work and more work than before. I won’t crib about work here on my come-back post :)


Well, don’t know what to blog, so will close this post here for now.



P.S: My Name Is Khan (Khan, from the epiglottis) is a really boring long movie. If you are a fan of SRK or Kajol then please watch it. Other than their acting (and seeing them again together), there is nothing much in the movie. It is a typical KJo movie which just keeps on dragging till the audiences start feeling bored.
