rungta 50% of calls overheard on the commute are cases of IT troubleshooting. The rest are pleas of forgiveness to girlfriends/wives.
@rungta Jab alag ho raha tha tab to fatke se bachne ki sooch raha tha. Achanak kya ho gaya? Beer + HRC must be irresistible…
@vikramadhiman Surprised and Amused.
@aroradush Went around Khan Market, no success. All small shops have been sealed/closed.Had to satisfy myself at new Khan Chacha restaurant.
Requests like “Please like our page” or “We need your likes” is both ironic and a turnoff. At worst do a “If you like us, don’t feel shy”.
SBI near home opens at 10AM. People queue up from 9:45 hoping to make it to the counters at the earliest. Dear Indian Banks, Rethink.
Just when it looked as if facebook had done away with the irritating emails, I receive 6 of them.
@aroradush Looking to go there tom, lets see if plan works out. Thanks btw.
@aroradush Name of shop? Kakori?
@aroradush Hi, How are u doing? Which was the kebab place at Khan Market you were telling me about?
No matter how sad, boring and mundane day at work; a working code end of the day still gives me a strange mix of satisfaction and happiness.
@vikramadhiman Unlikely, but will let you know.
@vikramadhiman Lots of advertising spots are empty. If I travel tomorrow will let you know. Most likely the no will differ at diff locations
Overtime…
vikramadhiman In an ideal world a Product Manager will not have to deal with Docuche Bags in the name of Software Development Team.
@rohananeja Haan to bhai, ab kahan?
@AbdulWK No. Yes. Dunno. I just need some good filter coffee…
@bhupinder87 Huh. Not FACEBOOK, for god’s sake. They have enuf cash to start a cokestudio.com.in!! At the same time it must be aired on TV.
@bhupinder87 @banerjeerupak Excited about Coke Studio in India. Sad that it’ll happen on MTv. MTv is no more “music related” to me.
Missing some fine filter coffee. Bangalore, why are you so far?

rashmiswamy As much as I’ve tried keeping a To-Do list electronically, nothing seems satisfactory enough as ticking off a done item via a pen and paper.
I think flies suffer from short-term memory loss. They fly away when they sense danger, and almost immediately forget about it.

@vrinda_m I’d rather be happy to not answer such questions, unless I have complaints against them.
@rakeshrh 8 or 9. vs around 5 on Win. Since I am a little techie, I get more kicks out of using linux. But exp wise not much better than Win
@rakeshrh A good experience is a result of removal of subtle pain points.
@rakeshrh The word experience is complete in itself. Speed, aesthetics, design, stability, performance, quality etc - all contribute to it.
@rakeshrh And some of those who do care, think that why should a purchase a “pain” and carry it around for years? Let me invest a bit more..
@rakeshrh I’ll add one more thing. Browsing or music on a mac gives a far better experience than windows Unfortunately few care about it.
@rakeshrh Must be vmware fusion. Nothing wrong then. Its not a sin to install windows. Even I have it, cause a fraction of my work needs it.
@rakeshrh Ask him to use a virtual machine rather than doing a native install.
@rakeshrh Unless he has enough money to not care.
@rakeshrh Then I’d say it was a decision driven by heart rather than brains. :)
Though I have never cared to do _anything_ about my shape,it has regularly received both compliments and criticisms. I’ll assume im perfect.
@rakeshrh And most “consumers” don’t know much about Ubuntu or any particular flavour of linux.
@rakeshrh People do take wrong financial decisions. Or maybe right. But many a times people give in to their greed.
@rakeshrh Because of the beautiful design :)
Like the new Twitter homepage. Unlike fb I seem to almost immediately like the changes that @Twitter makes.
@lokallobaat When I went there it was all ghee, not oil. Maybe you mistook. It was very tasty & aromatic. Everyone there loves it that way.
@lokallobaat AFAIK what we call restaurants in Delhi (not too hi-fi) are known as dhabas all around Punjab. Its diff from truck wala dhaba.
The interiors of the Delhi Airport Metro Express is somehow “inspired by” airplane interiors. Would have liked a contrast.
I doubt the operating speed of Airport Metro Express in http://t.co/hBffoMi, but it was pretty fast. Averaged more than a km every min.
Bangalore, you need an Airport Express Line like Delhi. Buck up!!
@lokallobaat How about Kesar da dhaba?

Reactions in India:

@lokallobaat Yup, for all work related issues we can take that as the base. No doubt.
@lokallobaat Nah. No not that kind of awfulness.
Still recovering from an awful Monday.

All those of you at Bangalore who were going gaga about the weather over the past couple of days; Delhi is cooler than your city right now.
@aroradush Thanks for the cc. Will keep that in mind.
The movie Inside Job has hurt my Indian ego. Those Goras managed to achieve heights that our baniyas amid the corrupt community couldn’t. :p

@vikramadhiman Doing good. Work is fine. How is your busy schedule coming along?

@vikramadhiman Very well organised keeping in mind it was not sponsored and first edition. Good for networking, Presentations could improve.

.@rasagy Full timestamp is still acceptable. Only date is not.
@rasagy And in twitter, I’d rather click on the date to see all tweets by the author on that day, instead of just the one tweet.
@rasagy Actually, the blog titles (usually) also link to the permalink. That is much more intuitive.
Why does @twitter web interface make it so hard for the users to find the permalink to a tweet? Can’t find it anywhere.

@AbdulWK Doubt that.
