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 [...]

Where people don’t walk, but drive…

I have been wanting to write a post after coming to US but hadn’t got the time to do that. Now that I am in the middle of the semester, I finally got the urge to write about it. partly because there is this Labo( u )r day weekend, when I have almost nothing to [...]

Au Revoir, Microsoft EPG

Last year, I arrived in Hyderabad to work for Microsoft, without even knowing what group I would be working for. I was assigned to the Education Products Group and I had no inkling about what I would be working on. Thus was my demeanour when I came here.

AOL MyeAddress, completely non-functional; Tech support, completely incompetent

Garfield and Odie

Being such a big fan of these guys, I couldn’t resist putting this up for the cute factor

Shimla Visit 2007

I had been wanting to write about my Shimla visit but due to the general laziness that has crept upon me of late, I was unable to do so. The reason for visiting Shimla was my cousin brother’s (Montoo’s) wedding. This was the first Himachali wedding I have seen and so I was excited about it.

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 [...]
