@runadhm More importantly please don’t let runners choose Gatorade flavours, and set a dedicated lane for half marathon runners beyond 19km.
@runadhm Pl. take care of half marathon runners targeting 3 hrs. Cool tunnels not working. Counters out of sponge & Gatorade (at 12 & 16k).
Successfully finished a 1.4kg burger platter in about 30 mins and a half marathon in about 3 hours — 3 months apart. Not bad eh?
@keeperofthekeys So this is how a “have a good run” wish feels like! #firsttime #fatmansays
Thanks and good night!
@lokallobaat She’s the “face of the race” and not the ambassador. Though, I guess, it won’t change your assertion. @rashmiswamy
@rashmiswamy Thanks! All set to wake up in perfect shape to zorb this one. I’ve read the rules, they don’t say you can’t roll. #fatmansays
@ap00rv Heh, this looks ridiculous. Fake ain’t it?
@keeperofthekeys Nope. #fatmansays
I am a round & curvy type! #fatmansays

@MaAlterEgo Haha! I think Bongs think she’s ‘right’ just because the other side is ‘left’. #bigmistake
@MaAlterEgo Well congress wouldn’t have got it either. Anyhow Mamata has always been pulling off cunt-acts. Would never expect her support.
@MaAlterEgo She wouldn’t have got the money even if there was no bandh.
@nisheeth Would be happy if this succeeds in overthrowing her. Problem is that her vote-bank ain’t rich-enough to see maps on iPhones.
@nisheeth Right. But I don’t remember the river below the Howrah bridge ever running dry.
@nigelbabu Also @fake_iOS6maps.
@nisheeth Native app experience would be better, IMO.
@nisheeth OSM might be a better alternative —wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple_iOSm
@nisheeth Haha. I am sure @_karan is not allowed to comment on this disaster, and perhaps not allowed to empathise as well.
@nisheeth Adding to your home screen gives a sub-par performance. Ain’t good enough. To top that Google Earth isn’t on the Indian Store.
@nisheeth Well they’ve never really cared beyond the first world countries anyways. More: theamazingios6maps.tumblr.com
@nisheeth This, for a start. twitter.com/jackerhack/staβ¦
@nisheeth You are not in India. You need to see how bare the maps are for Indian cities. It’s all over twitter and web.
@nisheeth Maps. The only reason why I haven’t upgraded.
Had only expected lack of details, not this.

@s_shashank_s Never witnessed bandhs in Delhi like those in Calcutta (or even Blr). Grandma (from Cal) was so worried as I left home today.
@rohananeja Doesn’t look like it: ifixit.org/2753/macbook-pβ¦ @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja What! Are you saying that if your keyboard goes kaput your battery gets changed alongside? @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Also chances are very high that you’d rather want to change your laptop after 3 years. 3 years is a long time. @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Apple batteries since unibody MBPs are much better, mine is good even after 3 years. AppleCare doesn’t cover them. @VarunSPuri
@geohacker Not sure why the Google Earth app is not on the Indian Store. It could’ve helped. @s_shashank_s @gonsalves_r @jackerhack
@geohacker Sure Apple policies/approvals are a problem. But I also fear that Google could get tactical and try to leverage this on Android.
@vrinda_m And I had a smooth sail on the bus. No trouble with public transport. \m/
@rohananeja Also I hope you have purchased Apple Care. If not, do it ASAP. And, what makes you bothered about the battery? @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja Bad luck, I’d say. I had a similar bad luck with my last MBP, not with this one. @VarunSPuri
@rohananeja In fact I don’t recall any hyped Apple software this year. Only hardware — Retina MBP and a little on the iPhone 5.@VarunSPurii
@rohananeja There was never any hype. :S @VarunSPuri
I love bandhs in Delhi. It’s like the same Delhi with a lot fewer people on the streets.
@s_shashank_s Hope Google comes with an app & Apple doesn’t reject it, or Apple maps turns good enough. @gonsalves_r @geohacker @jackerhack
@s_shashank_s No maps far outweighs the little improvements that come with iOS 6. I’m not upgrading now. @gonsalves_r @geohacker @jackerhack
@jackerhack Oh lord! Did you upgrade?
@MaAlterEgo Don’t worry. Hardly anyone in India is pleased with iOS6.
@VarunSPuri Not worried about speed, but I am waiting for Google to come out with a maps app. And I hope Apple doesn’t reject it.
@VarunSPuri You upgraded? Hahahaha !
@architgupta Unless your work demands all the memory/resources, VMs are better. Virtualbox is a free alternative to Fusion/Parallels.
@MaAlterEgo Pliss to be not hiding the real reason..twitter.com/MaAlterEgo/staβ¦87
Cleartrip “When valuing a startup, add $500k for every engineer, and subtract $250k for every MBA.” ~ Aaron Patzer
@MaAlterEgo Got the headphones fixed today (just a change of cushions). You have no idea how bad it sounded at the time you sampled it.
@MaAlterEgo You think shaving is hard? Try giving it up for a few months.
@MaAlterEgo I’ll add a third — your twitter handle. But wait a sec, why does acting like a chut make you feel proud?
@MaAlterEgo Your new name is gayer than a pile of naked men fucking each-other. Not even worth getting started.
JaspalBhatti69 #BJP should call for Bharat Chalao instead of Bharat Bandh. It’ll make more sense in an already stalled Bharat.
@ap00rv Headphones
@MaAlterEgo Nahi yaar, trying to resurrect my old headphone.
@MaAlterEgo It’s for ESD protection. I don’t know what exactly that means though.
@MaAlterEgo Β Β ΰ€ΰ€²ΰ€¨ = jealousy
This is how you enter Bose service center in Delhi. The Bangalore one (before Carlton Tower fire) didn’t impose this. pic.twitter.com/sd4uBfDu
@MaAlterEgo :)
@MaAlterEgo Not that way. Paisa wasooli is when “Meri iPhone, teri jalan” #BhaiYuss
@MaAlterEgo People not just make fun of engineers. They also make fun of engineer + MBA. #markmywords
@MaAlterEgo This is a part of paise wasooli.
madversity Delhi’s cultural scene is so hot, that it seems a torture to have long-hours job…music, theatre, movies. Suddenly NCR has arrived
@MaAlterEgo Bhai, har iPhone wala ameer nahi hota. Kuch iPhone khareedte hi gareeb ho jaate hain. e.g. Yours Truly.
@MaAlterEgo Enough is enough. Sue them.
@MaAlterEgo Apne Faridabad se hi flight le liyo Goa ki. Delhi bohut door hain naa.
@MaAlterEgo Saale!
@jackerhack How do you report to TRAI? Via SMS?
jackerhack Lesson learnt: never leave home without the company rubber stamp. Having to return home just to stamp some paper isn’t funny. #startups
@jackerhack So damn true!
@rashmiswamy @rungta And good memories. #fatmansays
@_karan You did spend some time there, right?
@_karan I guess you have been giving her a lot of Chinese.
xAbhishek It’s actually great to have no time for Twitter. I just realized they’re trying to kill the service anyway.
@ap00rv Something on these lines? twitter.com/souvikdg/statuβ¦

@gonsalves_r Based out of Delhi —ishankhosla.comQ@jackerhack
@nisheeth What surprises me is that I never expected them to recognise this and take corrective actions. I guess they’ve got a new PR guy.
@nisheeth Negative PR, mistrust, and bad mouthing has grown recently. No doubt they rarely get credit for good things.
Noticed a couple of ads by Delhi Police in the newspaper. This campaign, IMO, is refreshingly awesome. pic.twitter.com/UQKjBy9Y
@MaAlterEgo Do catch up.
OH: “Bhaiyya pasta bana do. 80% white, 20% red.” #humordiary
@vimlendu Would prefer to mail/DM you. Hope that’s alright. Alternately, I am on souvikdg at miranj dot in.
@surdattack I was uncomfortable without scrollbars. I must know how long the page is (and where am I) at all times. @aakashd @jackerhack
@jackerhack You work with way too many computers at any point of time. Natural scrolling is certainly not for you. @aakashd @surdattack
@aakashd Oops! :p
@aakashd If you’re using a laptop or an external trackpad, even then you are effectively swiping. @surdattack
@aakashd Wait a sec, is it that your system scrolls in the traditional way and surrounding systems have natural scrolling?
@aakashd Scrolling direction remains in the “muscle memory”. If both your computer & phone scrolls the same way it gets better. @surdattack
@aakashd Also, bugging if you use different computers some with & some without that. I think it’s better to invert the setting in that case.
@aakashd It was “natural” on iOS then moved to Mac. Intuitive if you use a touch device. Takes less than a week to get used to otherwise.
@keeperofthekeys @pricelessjunk Congrats!
@MaAlterEgo Just put in your thobra. If you don’t have yours put Arbaaz’s instead.
@MaAlterEgo Your shade’s too shady.
@rungta Today’s the day you get to ask @bhavyakhanna “What plans for the evening?”
gonsalves_r Does anyone have statistics on rape *in India* — are they more likely to be committed by someone the victim knows? cc/ @rishie_
@gonsalves_r I think many rape incidents in which the victim knows the accused would not be reported. @rishie_
roshd There must be a minimum education level made compulsory for eg Post Graduation, before people are allowed to embrace any religion.
@MaAlterEgo I am not being phoney. I am being honest and greedy.

@MaAlterEgo Ya.
Guy next to me in the metro has FM on his phone. Honestly speaking, I’m slightly jealous.

@ap00rv Also I suspect they might be under some regulatory constraints cause mobile signals interfere with ATC radio communication.
@ap00rv I have seen only a couple of ‘mobile’ mobile towers outside T3. Haven’t spotted a permanent one. I guess those are not as powerful.

@gonsalves_r No, that’s another problem. But they all add up. :) @cleartax_in @rungta
@gonsalves_r Also, one big problem is inadequate inline explanations/unclear copy. Could have easily made mistakes. @cleartax_in
@ap00rv Drawing analogy to Airtel could be grossly mis-interpreted. But I think you get the idea. @cleartax_in
@gonsalves_r Do help them if you can. They need a designer who can fix not just their interface but also the flow & navigation. @cleartax_in
Used @cleartax_in for my last minute tax filing. The cleanest interface of all the options I had, but terribly clumsy and unpolished.
@jackerhack To quite an extent I agree with @rasagy. @metarefresh couldn’t position itself the way it was conceived. I wish it gets better.
