Indian cricket
Friday, August 26, 2005
This is what Indian cricket has come down to. Cricinfo’s lead story opens with: India can now look forward to the game against Zimbabwe on August 29, a first-among-equals clash between two teams that deserve their place in one-day cricket’s subterranean reaches. Couldn’t have put it better myself. I don’t know who it is thats [...]
Google Talk: Whats the big deal?
Tuesday, August 23, 2005
Deepak asked a very good question when I posted about Google Talk earlier today: But what is there to be extremely happy about?! So far, all we’ve seen is a Jabber server!

Hiking at Point Reyes Seashore

Point Reyes Seashore in California is an awesome place to trek.

We have been trying for years with effort, intelligence, experimentation and money to define and understand life. Apparently all it takes – for this particular [...]

Look at everything you see And see only – your Self. Everything’s a mirror – The knowledge, the book And also the bookshelf. Knowledge to me, knowledge to you Is so different – why? A mirror of understanding How aware are you How aware am I? One day a laugh One day a tear you [...]
Around the web
Thursday, August 18, 2005
While taking a coffee break, I stumbled across this study about caffeine. The latest attempt to slow down productivity across the globe involves investigating the effects of caffeine on spiders. Yes, thats right, spiders. Apparently the web designed by a caffeine-dosed spider is the most disorganized among a host of other drugs, including marijuana. Of [...]
Celebrating Independence Day
Wednesday, August 17, 2005
The Stanford Indian Association held a great celebration function on Monday evening – some singing performances, one dance performance and of course singing of the National Anthem. Its quite nice to know that 15th August is celebrated in some form or other in so many places! Yet another thing that makes me feel proud is [...]
India in images
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
I came across this post (via DesiPundit) today and decided to explore Flickr for myself to check out images of India. Click on each image to view a larger photo. A couple of images can’t be directly linked, so I’ve just given hyperlinks instead of photos. By Suyog Gaidhani By simon62 By DeepakG By babasteve [...]
