Another wonderful tool and a new area that Google has strolled into and stormed! Check out the new IM from Google.. neat sparse interface as usual. Extremely intuitive and very light on system resources. I’m lovin’ it! Download Google Talk

OBL - Out about learning, the second time to the same place, same people, but totally a new experience. On a deeper note, I rediscovered myself! Quite a few things about myself, that I hadn’t noticed before came to light. I had a great time too, meeting a few new people, and a few new versions of old ones! The day we were returning to Chennai, we went to a kewl pub called “Alibi” in Church Street, where we managed to get two free pitchers of beer (try the Castle beer there … really neat!) ...

I’m at office, after an all-nighter! I chanced to come by this amazing un-put-downable book by name “Five point someone” by Chetan Bhagat (Check out the book’s site). Not many books that I read get read, in a day.The amazing story of three friends through life at IIT, brought back memories that had been shelved for the past four years. Of the gazillion trees that were felled for the books I have bought, read and enjoyed, the trees that made this book lost their lives to a worthy cause. ...

I encountered, by far, the sickest website I have seen in my entire life. Kittyculture is the act of stuffing a sweet little kitten into a jar, sealing its anus shut and feeding it to a tube, and keeping it that way for 4 weeks and more, so that it may be given “fair” treatment by giving it an “unique” shape that nature has denied it!! Wow, I just read what I wrote and the absurdity just baffles me! How can anyone in their sane mind can even dream up something like this!! ...

We went for team-lunch at this amazing restaurant called “Kadaleevanam”. It is a health food restau, at Mugappair, Chennai. The food there is based on naturopathic principles and it actually tasted quite good. They explain the food that you eat, and enforce (read, beware of the order in which you eat, or else they’ll make you eat it again ;) ). A small tip, check out the ice-creams there (Yup, healthy ice-cream!! quite an oxy-moron eh?! ). Quite an interesting choice of ice-creams, like tender-coconut, ginger and honey, guava! ...

What are the odds of meeting a violinst and a chartered accountant (two people, ofcourse ;) ) in the same city on the same day, at the same cafe? Well, I did just that. I’m sorry to say that I managed to forget the name of this very interesting violinst, who educated me at the finese of Bach’s compositions and also taught me a coupla chords on the guitar (Aparently he plays that too!! ) ...

I just found this link on an orkut forum … yeah , I’m part of orkut too!! Check out Firetune. It is supposed to make Firefox quicker. I’m testing it as of now.. and will post some results

I booked a swift this weekend. Seems like it will take almost 5 months for delivery! I hate this BS dished by Maruti to its customers. Why introduce a car, which is by far the most economical in its class, packed with features and expect it to sell only 5000 a month?! Well, the sales rep at a Maruti Dealer told me the production capacity was just 5000 a month, and they already have booking close to 30000?! ...
