_Y_So_Serious_ What do u call a group of ppl where two ppl are thinking of sex and all other are thinking of food????
“A wedding”.
miranjdesign Pitney Bowes Scrum India NCR meet – tomorrow (Oct 1st) at 2:30pm in Noida. @souvikdg will be around and this time he’ll have some slides.
@lokallobaat How come I overlooked that?! @rungta why don’t you do it the @lokallobaat way. Follow them stealthily. :p
@tusharwal Best part of the day. Really!
@xAbhishek Thank god it’s not happening to me, I’d be on the streets otherwise.
@xAbhishek Err, what?!
.@rungta I know your Saturday afternoon is planned. Here is your Saturday morning taken care of: http://t.co/h75iW3FP
@pandorazjukebox Looking for a trip to B’lore. Dunno when it’ll happen. :(
How about getting me a client who’d call me over? @tusharwal
@vikramadhiman Good, I guess. Hoping that someone will find it useful. *fingers-crossed* :)
Hows yours? Making a new one, are you?
@dcsastudent Like for e.g., even Bengalis (being Hindus) don’t take beef. But I do.
@dcsastudent Basically, I don’t take shit from religion. Celebrations are good, I participate. Restrictions are bad, I don’t give a crap.
@dcsastudent As a Bengali, I can eat non-veg all year long. As @souvikdg I eat *everything*, all year long.
@dcsastudent Oh yes we have. Did you not check http://t.co/v56WuAM4 ?
@dcsastudent Whoops! Sorry.
*mission accomplished! — secretly rejoicing*
@vikramadhiman Drooling, eh?! :)
Did my last tweet tickle u? You can join me as head for some awesome Bengali food with @bellycentric on 2nd Oct. More: http://t.co/v56WuAM4
Khan Chacha Rolls, Karim’s Chicken Tikka & Mutton Stew, Fried Chicken, Beef Biryani, Fruit Cream Kulfi, 2 Jamun Kulfis, Cold Coffee…Gr8 day!
gonsalves_r Do any of you know someone traveling #Geneva -> #Bangalore? I need a small parcel brought in. Please RT! Thanks!
@gonsalves_r And oh, I missed Indira Nagar. @rungta
@gonsalves_r Loved the food options at Palace Grounds & Koramangala Durga Pujas last year. You have time post js-Foo till 5th Oct. @rungta
bellycentric Durga Puja, Bengali, homemade—too much to pass. Belly Centric heads to Ananda Mela +you’re invited http://t.co/RBQZyw66 http://t.co/oYuM61QB
thp4 Whenever faced with a problem, some people say ‘Lets use HTML5.’ Now, they have two problems.
@xAbhishek Fix yourself up by Sunday. We have a ‘date’, remember?
@xAbhishek Ah! How are you now?
@xAbhishek If we’ve a plan in place, Miranj can always spare me. :)
Btw, I gave u a call on Sunday evening, when I was around. Didnt answer.
@vrinda_m Also, no plans to go to multiple pandals. Will take things as they come. Who knows, we might overeat and be reluctant to move.
@vrinda_m Having said that, I expect plenty of veg options (if that was stopping you).
@vrinda_m The thing will be inside the pandal. But the day we head there, the pandals wont be live and kicking. Things pep up next day.
@bhavyakhanna Sure you want to join us at the Durga Puja thing? :p
@xAbhishek Looking for the ‘secret ingredient’, eh?!
So are we. :)
So when do we next sit at a café?
@tusharwal Oye apne date ka kya bana?
@adsahay You can go for alternatives, what’s your budget like? @kingSidharth
@VerbalKungFu Caffeine should help.
aadvaark How much does a website cost? http://t.co/NBAv8zNl
@gonsalves_r Will make it public over the weekend (once I do my talk). :) @aadvaark
@gonsalves_r @aadvaark Interestingly, my talk this weekend is on how to balance between the 2 pricing models —fixed price & time & material.
@manasmohan Ek small meetup has about Agile Software Development.
@sethrishi @nixxin Finally I think infrastructure should be built for the future, not the present. I see this as a sane decision 4 tomorrow.
@sethrishi @nixxin The other good thing about Airport line is that it connect the rail network to Airport. I think that is a very good.
@sethrishi @nixxin With T3 on 1 corner of a circular city,the line is running diagonally across the city. Best coverage for a straight line.
@sethrishi @nixxin I donot think they shud built-all-possible-lines-to-connect-airport-&-open-together. Build 1>make it functional>den next.
@sethrishi @nixxin Bt I guess T3 will (mybe is) handle greater volumes in future. & it is located deep. Makes sense to connect that over T1.
@sethrishi @nixxin Preference of T1 vs T3 is a different debate. Yes, people love T1 as it saves time for everyone (except, Gurgaon folks).
@sethrishi There is a metro line planned in next phase that would touch T1D and connect South Del/Nehru/GK.
@sethrishi Debatable, yes. But when you ask for 3 tracks in diff directions, looks like you also imply that build-&-start-all-at-one-go…
Here’s your opportunity to watch a fat man prove a point —

@xAbhishek You have to use the character viewer. The technical symbols are hidden, you can activate that or search “PLACE OF INTEREST SIGN”.
@xAbhishek Haha. :)

@aroradush Na. I don’t read fiction.
@aroradush Are they also painted yellow with red headlines?

@gonsalves_r Definitely. Not sure how deep though. :) @zomato
@gonsalves_r Not just beauty. Content is good and well-organised. And the @zomato blogposts prior to this one is pretty good.
@aadvaark Ah, thanks. :)
Got late in replying. Was too excited with the food-related allegations yesterday evening,ur tweet slipped my mind.
Coffee was nice,but high time I should declare that the concept of ‘instant coffee’ is flawed. There is something just not right about them.
Started my day with a cup of Kenyan Instant Coffee that my uncle got for me. Seeing an aluminium tin after a long time. http://t.co/X0ka58AN

@rungta Had a tough time tweeting it. Twitter web showed it as 1 char longer than Twitter for Mac. Guess it’s Devanagri unicode related.
@deepigoyal Yup, I can.
@deepigoyal The one outside IIT?
@deepigoyal Next weekend I have a jam-packed schedule. :(
Maybe a little earlier/later tomorrow or on any weekday.
@nikhilnarayanan Is there any such response? Pointers? @deepigoyal @burrp
@prao24 Right, Alexa is just indicative. Google analytics should be better. Btw, by bigger I meant their size, and not page views/analytics.
@deepigoyal I am always on for a cup of coffee. Would love to connect. :) Will be around CP at that time.
@deepigoyal I realise the ambiguity in my hasty tweet. Should re-word it.
@deepigoyal Actually, I love this statement and was pointing out to others. Most people want just a working s/w & they do not think beyond.
“Most of our website code is not robust; we barely survive on an everyday basis…” from @Zomato blog => Think before you get your s/w made.
@prao24 Well, firstly alexa has nothing to do with bigger. 2ndly, alexa is a flawed concept. I’d *never* use that in my reasoning.
On a side note, (ignoring the accusation post) I love the content of the last few posts on @Zomato blog. http://t.co/QiPlF30G
Also, if @burrp thinks that it being older/bigger is a reason enough to not need to copy from @Zomato, I wonder what made them respond back.
The accusation by @Zomato may not be bullet-proof, but the defence put up by @burrp is bad, and their counter-attack/accusation is worse.
gonsalves_r Wow. Just wow. Bangalore Real Men Meetup http://t.co/6wNcvhG7 @gkjohn @zainabbawa
@gonsalves_r Whenever I am there, I want that. *wiping dripped saliva off my tee*
@tusharwal We’re on.

@VerbalKungFu Hard to switch from iPhone to Android. Have heard from so many folks.
@keeperofthekeys Na, Delhi Metro & Airport Line r separate altogether. 10% disc is on normal metro. Check fare options: http://t.co/hyRlcBvZ
@keeperofthekeys Unfair to complain about Airport line prices. If you are a regular, there is a cheap monthly option. If not, its worth it.

aroradush Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” is a grammatically valid sentence. http://t.co/pRTApsWh
@VerbalKungFu So did you get yourself an iPhone?
@aadvaark The twitter thread today morning got me to stumble upon InspireWare. Loved the emphasis on “we do not want cheap outsourced work”.
@vikramadhiman You remind me of this: http://t.co/49ipmUb6
@jackerhack Looks like confusing laws and complacent accountants are making every LLP face the music. @hasgeek
@tusharwal Oye, how many days? And when is our date? :p
An odd reason why I love my MBP is that as I tap the aluminium surface with my nails while I work & listen to music, it makes a sweet sound.
@rungta @lokallobaat @bhavyakhanna @aroradush Oct 2nd. Keep your calendars clear. Cheap homemade Bengali food at C.R.Park during Durga Puja.
@aroradush As soon as I lose about 20 kilos. My best estimations tell me that it will happen after I gain 70-odd kgs in my next life.
@aroradush No worries, you’ll definitely be invited. :)
@aroradush I certainly don’t care if “agni devta” disapproves my mantra for having double the non-veg that day. Have made dat clear at home.
@aroradush Although, I get what you mean. I am fine with the subtle ambiguity. Both the cases tickle me. :)
@aroradush I meant my own marriage. I pretty much loath the fact that the bride/groom has to fast throughout the day until end of ceremony.
No point in attempting a marriage. With so much awesome food all around, I guess I’ll never make it through. #fatmansays
@gonsalves_r On a little closer look it looks like coming from embedded social network sharing code. @s_shashank_s

@manasmohan But, just in case you hadn’t noticed, I have started another “hobby thread” in parallel which I guess will be equally enjoyable.
@manasmohan I’d let a hobby remain a hobby. Too much of things you like could easily make you start hating it. :)
I think restaurants of the likes of Barbeque Nation/Pirates of Grill rely on selling an experience rather than good food. Not scalable!
Unsatisfactory lunch at Pirates of Grill. Agreed it is not too pricy, but I’d rather prefer better food than greater variety.
