Look what I found!
OK, so in the last post I talked about Atlanta being a city where people travel in cars. But day before while going to college, I saw this…
Scooters!
Hmmm, so they do exist in this part of the world. The next thing I wanted to know was the name of the company who [...]

Au Revoir, Microsoft EPG

AOL MyeAddress, completely non-functional; Tech support, completely incompetent
I have been an avid fan of new services offered by companies, to compare different ones and find the best to use.

Hyderabad Weather and musings
A friend complained on Orkut that I have stopped blogging. Maybe not, but then the frequency is definitely down.
What do people talk about when they have nothing to talk about? They talk about “weather”! So the weather in Hyderabad has been playing games; in the morning the sun is shining with all its ferocity and during late afternoons [...]
