Its been a really long time since I’ve heard anything against Apple, it seems that they are doing everything perfect. People are loving them, and their market share in computers is expected to reach around 8% by the end of this year! However, we must realize that Apple was never able to gain a bigger market share because they ’locked’ their users to use everything made by them. Even though they …
So I realized that I have like 7 different types of lip balm sticks, so thought of writing a short review. Its not that I am obsessed with them, but most of them don’t do the job well, and you are required to apply them every now and them, so I end up buying one whenever something interesting appears on the shelves.
Here is the list:
Chap Stick ( $1-2) Neutrogina Lip Balm ( $3 ) Blistex Lip Balm …
Starting March 5th, I had decided to put a 1 month moratorium on all the spending except basic necesseties like food and drinks. There were multiple instances during these 10 days where the moratorium saved me from spending, which I would have done otherwise. This is specially to stop spending money on ‘impulsive purchases’, which are the things that you don’t need.
If you feel strongly for buying …
Here are some views on the days of a week.. Monday: This is the first day of the week. You just had a super-exciting weekend. You are all charged up for work. “I Love Mondays. Anything can happen on a monday.”
Tuesday: Hmm.. the week is going on. Last weekend’s memories are fading, and there is no weekend on the horizon. Life starts to suck. So much work to do.
Wednesday: Oh man. There are no …
I used to be a big supporter of gmail for the features it provides. I was totally addicted to the threading, and their pop+smtp support. They have some really cool (and useful) features, like the outgoing mail from smtp server will be added to the thread, popped emails will be archived instead of deleted, etc. My primary email (off dwipal.com domain) was being routed to the gmail account. However, …
I am kindof a social person, like to have people around me. Staying alone usually bores the hell out of me. So I was once having a small conversation with a friend, and she is the completely opposite of me. She likes to spend time with “herself”. Her favorite dialogue is “I love my company”.
Someone may say that if you have a ton of people hanging out at your place, you will prefer to spend time …

Inspired by the goldfish in “Me, You and Everyone We Know”, and having nothing better to do on a rainy sunday afternoon, I decided to buy a fish. It is also a precursor of my ultimate target to get a dog.
So I dragged 2 of my friends to a store called “Seascapes” in mountain view. I wanted to start small.. just 1 fish in a hassle-free container. The lady there was very helpful, and patiently …
There has been some noise around google coming out with their payment option on their google base service. Having worked with paypal in the past, things like these are always interesting to dig into. I was never exactly convinced with the idea of google base to replace ebay or craigslist, their interface simply doesn’t appeal. (Check out http://www.edgeio.com if you like structured blogging) …
A friend just recommended me this movie.
Its about how people struggle to connect with each other in today’s world. Its an extremely simple, light hearted movie which will leave you with heavy heart. The more you think about this movie, the more you realize how true it is.
If you watch only one movie per year, this is the one.
Here is the homepage of this movie: http://www.meandyoumovie.com/
