rungta The 2011 Delhi International Arts Festival starts today. Sufi night at Purana Qila 6:30pm tomorrow. Free entry. Who’s interested? #openvite
@ShivamKpr16 Burp!
What a week I have had. I think I could turn pink with envy if I happened to brag to myself about the food I had all last week. #fatmansays

@ap00rv In a way they are helping your quick movie get quicker.
Set up my Mac to play music from iTunes as alarm for the morning. Forgot to select a playlist. Ended up waking up to “Tu Tu Tu, Tu Tu Tara”.
@beingavnish Light year is a unit of distance, by the way. :p
madmanweb Ra.One is such a bad movie that having Akon singing actually improves it.
@ap00rv Knew the reason. Just that it is stupid to print a story preemptively. Supplements should rather cover things a day after. @rungta
Delhi Times, today morning. This is brilliant! :p http://t.co/Z3au6Gh5
@jackerhack Oh thanks! Linode is nearly at the top of our list. Good to know that someone is happy with their services. /cc: @rungta
@xAbhishek Oops! Just reached this tweet on my timeline. Sorry for bothering you on IM.
@gonsalves_r For a few weeks now we have been disappointed about Slicehost being shut down by Rackspace.
Forward us the recommendations. :)

This is awesome. Like, really! “@gonsalves_r: The Stallman Dialogues http://t.co/ZAeqpzl8 cc/ @tdinkar”
bellycentric By the way, we participated at a “sneak preview” to the Italian treat during lunch today. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks, @sidkhullar.

I was surprised to learn at lunch with fellow foodies today that bacon has helped vegetarians turn non-vegetarians. So hard to believe.
Rag-pickers would have had a ball today with empty packs of fireworks lying all around the city. A large part of us still lack civic sense.
@nimitnshah Quickest way out for you is to fly down to Delhi. Like, right now! :p @rungta
Must thank 3 guys for today’s awesome lunch experience @sidkhullar, @lokallobaat and @rungta.
*Order of names intentional.
@nimitnshah Twitter is a bad platform for this. When we meet, I insist. :) @rungta
@lokallobaat With a heavy heart I promise 2 things — to add your diet to mine & think of you before every bite of ghas-phoos. :’) @rungta
@MaAlterEgo Same to you. :)
I am. ;) Trust me if you were here, you’d be in love too. :)
Can’t help but appreciate the amazing view from the balcony of my house esp. the colourfully lit skyline.
No Diwali has looked so beautiful.
@nimitnshah First thing — you should be equally interested about the things that I liked. :)
Lets keep it for the day we meet. :)
@rungta
शुभ दीपावली
@nimitnshah And oh! Happy Diwali! @rungta
@nimitnshah Woah! When did you put that out? There are things that I love, and there are things that I don’t. Overall nice work. @rungta
@aroradush Same2u2 :) @lokallobaat @rungta
What amazes me is that even you start enjoying such music when you see others having ‘fun for a lifetime’ dancing to those tracks.
Reaffirmed: Even today people go gaga over remixed ghati/pop Punjabi tracks at local DJ performances in Delhi.
Sorry, what! An hour or longer to update to iOS 5?! http://t.co/N2z8pJTv

Happy Diwali folks!

Shalin10 Car company calls for feedback on Service. “Pls rate us from a scale of 1 - 10 where 8 is poor, 9 is good & 10 is excellent”.

Wonder what has been going on with the Google DNS servers all day. Bad day at work.
@keeperofthekeys Best wishes.
@ap00rv “Talk about reinventing the wheel!” — exactly why we debated a lot. :)
@ap00rv Nah, Django framework gives lots of things pre-made, including the content management part.
@ap00rv After much debate, for our company blog we decided to build our own with just the features we need & (obviously) host it ourselves.
@ap00rv Ah, yes, shared hosting providers do offer a one-click wp setup. But I guess non-techie bloggers would not think of self hosting.
@ap00rv Why just Wordpress? Self hosting with a reliable host should be good enough.
@ap00rv Pretty usual.
@VarunSPuri Basically it’s their way of saying “We don’t repeat our mistakes.”
Also, apps that appear on all spaces do not behave themselves while switching between spaces in #lion. Urrgh!
For the first time, I am liking full-screen on #lion. The transition between apps is not smooth though.

@pandorazjukebox Oh k. You tweet was not a reply to anything, so got confused. :)
@pandorazjukebox What was that for?
@_karan How was the event, by the way?
@_karan You lucky thing!
@_karan What! Is it the “Celebrating Steve’s life” thing?
@keeperofthekeys A new line is in the pipeline. Be patient.
jackerhack Apple famously does not have a mobile version of their website. The pioneers of good mobile web have a desktop-only website.

@keeperofthekeys Did resort to that. Thanks to @rungta’s account.
@keeperofthekeys By the way, they could still can send SMS if they wished to. Workarounds do exist.
@keeperofthekeys Anyways they shouldn’t make mobile verification mandatory to book a ticket. In fact they don’t let me login until I verify.
@keeperofthekeys I am. And I know that is the problem. But I think they are allowed to send me an SMS if I voluntarily give them my no.
IRCTC doesn’t let me book tickets unless I add a mobile & once I do I can’t proceed unless I verify it. Problem is— I’m not getting the SMS!
@vikramadhiman Nope :( @konarkmodi

Hope Safari tabs get a ‘silo-mode’ to work w/o sharing the common session/cookie info for dev/multiple login. Anything that already does it?
Work day begins with buying a bunch of stuff to eat in office. Should suffice for a week, I guess. *fingers-crossed*
Yay! Safari inspector no longer pops out.
@jacobjay Is Moonlighting Delhi closing down?
@lokallobaat Maybe not co-located, perhaps co-owned. @rungta
@lokallobaat If I am not mistaken, the Annapurna Sweet shop we were looking for that evening, has something to do with it. @rungta

@gonsalves_r Lego?
@lokallobaat help @GnrlMxms, he wants food suggestions for a friend’s birthday who is a vegetarian. Under 500 per person. /cc: @aroradush

@GnrlMxms And, oh! I usually avoid veg joints, but I know that Rajdhani is one good option. They too serve unlimited thalis. @rungta
@gnrlmxms Does pure veg mean that the place should *strictly* serve pure veg options? Also, share budget / cuisine preferences. @rungta
It’s ‘so’ vs ‘because’ at work.
@pandorazjukebox Of all the client stuff we’ve done so far,it’s only now that we’ve got our 1st project where the client cares about mobile.
@pandorazjukebox And since everyone is in hurry or budget-constrained or don’t see much sense,they choose to make it work only on computers.
@pandorazjukebox Actually it won’t be entirely true that ppl don’t care.Many don’t know it takes extra effort to get things right on mobile.
Shit post! http://t.co/R80cwK2Q

@deepigoyal There is — “Aerospace engineering, particularly the astronautics branch, is referred to colloquially as ‘rocket science’.” :p

Looks like festival time has begun.

@rasagy Don’t agree with the final illustration, on ‘neck discomfort’.
@gauravchhibbar Looks like you are passively active on twitter. So when are we meeting up?
@vishalarora28 Dhakka maadi?

I am living on kebabs and rolls for the past 2-3 days. In dilemma whether to stick to it or explore beyond.
@kingSidharth Maybe in person, whenever both of us happen to be at a common location. Your blogpost will probably be out by then.

@kingSidharth Lets call it off, even though I disagree with your original statement on design, I don’t think twitter is efficient for this.
@kingSidharth Super-complicated! But then, doesn’t ‘coding’ too fit in this definition?
vikramadhiman I love people who go with the flow. Making things happen. Risk no more than a passing thought.
@kingSidharth How do you define ‘design’ btw?
@keeperofthekeys Implies that it isn’t the right time to buy a new lens.
@kingSidharth I understand what you are saying. But it is not convincing at all. Sounds like, a business plan on paper is 80% job done.
@rungta @lokallobaat Maybe you guys can help @singlaank — http://t.co/UwtPtMXQ
@rungta Just a side-note: Kun Fayakun seems to have a considerable contribution from Javed Ali, from whatever I know of him. @nimitnshah
@kingSidharth Are you saying that when things go from paper to screen, its just fine-tuning, and is just 20% of the design work?
@kingSidharth I’d classify POC/wireframe as planning, but lets leave terminologies aside.
@s_shashank_s I did not find this article to justify killing. :s
@xAbhishek Thanks!
Yay! “@xAbhishek: @souvikdg Disable ‘Show Dashboard as a space’ in Mission Control prefs to get ripples back.”
Just noticed — On adding a new widget to the dashboard, there are no ripples. Sad.
@kingSidharth Disagree. You’re saying 80% of design is done while planning. I think when u get to execute, the design decisions get harder.
