@lokallobaat Bhai mujhe to 700 pe bhi manzoor nahi tha. @rungta
I miss Expose.app #lion. Even restoring from Time Machine backup does’t help.
Pants with elastic waist for the win. #fatmansays
@ShivamKpr16 Arre bada mazaa aa raha tha. That was like a break from my usual software stuff, and fun at the same time. @banerjeerupak
@ShivamKpr16 Yup. And I replied as well.
@ShivamKpr16 lol!! @banerjeerupak
iSync is also missing in #lion. Bad for the likes of me who still use old Nokia devices. Time Machine to the rescue.
@banerjeerupak “Your land”
@banerjeerupak Congrats!! You did not collect your degree, or it has not come yet?
@ShivamKpr16 Next to Nehru Place.
@banerjeerupak Dada, btw PC is coming to your lands. He leaves Monday night, and will wander around for 20 days before joining classes. FYI.
@ShivamKpr16 Good enough for a start. Have taken an office. Aage ka pata nahi.

vikramadhiman The best time to start your company was yesterday. Second best time is today.
@ShivamKpr16 Where are you? IMA?!
@shamail You praise a lot. Did it all myself, except I use TweetNest to archive my twitter account. That one runs on php.
@shamail Other than our experience as Sun CAs, even my main stream is “web software development, _presently_ in python”. Yes, I am in Delhi.
@shamail Cool, we’ve some things in common. Maybe we should meet sometime. :)
@shamail Ah, Where are you working? And which technology?
@shamail Stop writing dummy code.

@_karan The 3 finger swipe up and down are also not instinctive. Need to consciously memorise them. And I find 2 finger rotate pretty tough.
@xAbhishek o.O Makes sense. Never enabled tap drag.
@xAbhishek The little change that it makes on my system, seems to be more like a bug than a deliberate delay.
@xAbhishek I did’t realise that there was a delay. Did that make a big difference?
@RishabhVerma Pretty neutral that one. Anyways, enjoy extending Vim. :)
@RishabhVerma Where’s the link?
@RishabhVerma TextMate also has plenty of downloadable extensions, thanks to a big user-base. Any extensibility Vim has over TextMate?
@RishabhVerma TextMate also provides plenty of those. But never felt the need of doing it myself. That is exactly what makes it so loveable.

Latest indulgence: Durga by Advaita from their first album “Grounded in Space”. Ah, the sound of the Sarangi!!
@lokallobaat Sounds cool, but from the things I have heard about the owner - would like to visit the outlet where he’d be present. @rungta
.@rashmiswamy And I picked dinner first. Now I am in a low-productivity mode.

@vikramadhiman I think you got me wrong. I meant ‘right’ processes help and not ‘more’ processes.
@xAbhishek Just found a way to assign an app to a particular space (desktop, as they say in #lion). Right-click on dock icon & see Options.
Address book in #lion is may be visually appealing but is not efficient. I prefer groups, list of names and details – all on one view.
@xAbhishek Vada was good. Nothing else was impressive. But I’ll visit a few more times.
@xAbhishek Not me for sure. @rungta and I have come across many techies who love cycling. Maybe it is the cheapest way of remaining fit.
Today’s filter coffee at Saravana Bhawan is the best I have had in Delhi so far. Next time I’ll ask them to make it strong. /cc: @xAbhishek
Balancing on a bicycle is not the problem. The seat is. #fatmansays

I’ll choose watching a play any day over a movie. ‘The Blue Mug’ was fun, so fun.
lokallobaat Back from watching ‘The Blue Mug’. @ranvirshorey & @pathakvinay were fantastic! Had me holding my stomach every time they came on stage.
@vikramadhiman It’s the right processes that help.
@banerjeerupak Dada to the rescue!! But the reason I like americano over expresso is because I get to enjoy it longer. @sakshamgarg88
@sakshamgarg88 Don’t care. When I want to have black coffee, I order americano. It’s more like “I know what I am ordering”.
@_karan अरे ऐपल के लिये तो ये सब छोटी मोटी बात है।

Even better if the t-shirt can can have a switchable alternate text that reads “No thanks, that’s all I want”.
The next time I go to a café, I’d like to wear a t-shirt that says “I need not be warned about Americano being a black coffee”.

@AbdulWK Cool. Have fun!!
Paan wala outside Odeon uses a scrolling text to list the varieties of paan it specialises in. The list ends with “and all other varieties”.
The auto-correction of text in #lion is slowly getting as bugging as it got in iPad. Time to look into the System Preferences.
@AbdulWK How is everything?
That’s not fat; just lack of elasticity. #fatmansays
@jackerhack In case you have not walked the by lanes of Old Delhi, I bet you’d like that too. It’s different & offers inexpensive good food.

Ah, so #lion downloaded overnight. :)
@vikramadhiman Something that has started hurting me recently: Tally.
Would have loved to see the progress of downloads from the Mac App Store as time, size or percentage right from the dock.
@lokallobaat Sure. Once I am done you can have a hands on my system.
@xAbhishek Who knows better. :p
xAbhishek Having no optical drives on computers is going to save Apple a lot of AppleCare money.
@lokallobaat Nah. Got a 1 mbps connection at home and work. Will have to pause it a few times. Don’t think it will be done before Sat.

5yr old cousin swinging a chain in front of grandma “Observe. Slowly ur eyes will close. Now u’ll listen 2 me. Ask mom 2 order gud fud 4 me”
@vikramadhiman I did understand. Was just highlighting the lighter side.
@vikramadhiman Flip-side: Once you’ve accepted city’s problems, nothing needs to be done about it.
@lokallobaat I doubt that. Considering that there are so many afghani people around that place, I doubt they would not make it if they could
@lokallobaat Not too sure if they are supposed to be “soft”. Will have to try out other places.
@lokallobaat The breads in the pic are not Naans. They are totally diff, taste diff, and I liked my exp. Def don’t mind repeating it.
@lokallobaat Bhindi even I did not like. @rungta liked eggplant. I liked the Aloo, specially because of the herbs and flavouring agents.
@lokallobaat Now oily food need not necessarily mean bad taste. Some cuisines are more oily than others e.g. Punjabi, Mughlai etc.
@lokallobaat Bhindi was not that good. Looks like you did not order the aloo, which I liked the most among the veggies.
Even cameras love me. When I enter the frame, it chooses to ignore everything else. #fatmansays

@aroradush Never been there. :(
Witty bus conductors can surely increase ridership. I think all #dtc conductors should pass a wit-test & wittier ones be better compensated.
If a #dtc ride is compared to a pack of cards, the conductor most certainly is the joker in the pack.

8 steamed momos, 8 fried ones and a plate of gyuma. Not bad eh?!

@VerbalKungFu Depends on area. After 10 frequency lowers. Around 10:30 the last bus originates. At brigade road last bus leaves around 9:45.
@VerbalKungFu Always prefer the buses or Meru cabs (if late). Auto guys there bullshit all the time. Have had plenty of bad exp inc. fights
VerbalKungFu I need to learn Kannada just so I can tell the auto guys to fuck off.
