		<title>An Indian comeback from the dead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#8217;t want to quote the 1st day&#8217;s bulletin until today, lest I jinx the team. But now that we&#8217;ve won, here it is. Joy!
They must have read about it. They must have heard about it. They must have planned for it. Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla have played a Test there before. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The mysterious before</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A beautiful essay by an American-born Indian on conversing with her great-grandmother:
Laminated photos affixed to the walls tell a story of black-and-white into color, of arranged marriages and love affairs, of constancy and change. As I walk through the house, I find my face, too, framed and on display. As always, it surprises me that [...]]]></description>

		<title>iMightDiscount</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, less than two weeks after introducing an expensive and not very useful toy in the middle of the biggest recession in recent history, Apple says it might reduce the pricing of the iPad if the market demands it.
Wow. Sure, they had to do this for the iPhone eventually, but only after it released. Looks [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dialing letter-based numbers from the Nokia E71</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, you saw the ad on late-night TV you&#8217;re about to embark on that American dream, suing someone and making millions.
The only hitch &#8212; the ad asked you to call 1-800-SUE-THEM (disclaimer: number changed to protect myself from legislation), and you have a Nokia E71 with a QWERTY keyboard that does have number signs but [...]]]></description>

		<title>A new e-book Reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A company in India, Infibeam, has introduced Pi, an e-ink based book reader for the Indian market, with support for local languages and a very Kindle-like look.
Lesser base storage than the Kindle, but you can extend the memory with an SD card. It can read PDFs, ePubs, HTML, DOC, JPG and some other stuff, which [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lost Art of Walking, by Geoff Nicholson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Almost a decade and a half ago, a friend and I did something many considered somewhat batty. We walked from Juhu to Versova along the beach.
