  • Review : Save Buckets dot com

    Online shopping has come a long way from where it started some years back, and today with more and more people coming online instead of walking to the stores, there is an essential need of the prices on the internet being competitive and deals luring…

    With this comes another challenge, how to get the best online price. With so many shopping sites offering everything from a nail to a car, I would want to get the best price from the internet too… What comes to my rescue is sites like save buckets… Offering the best prices on almost everything ranging from the MP3 Player you wanted to gift this Christmas, to various Consumer Electricals, Electronic Games, Computer Hardware, to Home and Gardening tools, savebucket is where you have a very high probability of finding the lowest price.

    And in case you still don’t find the price low enough, all you need to do is let Savebuckets know the item and the price you are looking for, and you would be emailed the details when the item you requested for is available at the price you were looking for…

    One another thing that I found very very handy was the Buying Guides for a lot of products…

    Looks like with SaveBuckets you not only will save some money, but will also get the right products all the time.

  • Marriage there… Party here…

    Gaurav Narang is getting married tomorrow… one of my dearest friends…

    His marriage is one occasion that I really really wanted to be a part of.. its like my own brother getting married..

    and I would be here in the UK missing out on one of the most important functions of my life…

    Aseem is also getting married tomorrow… Another gem that I know… missing his great day too…

    I think I should figure out a way to celebrate the weddings…. hmm.. lets see…

    God bless them!!!

  • Outside myself…

    I am here because someone has decided that i should be here, and I am…

    Why am I crying, as one of my friends always says, or feeling bad about things and people who are not around me?

    Instead why am I not loving and living what I should ?

    There is more to life than I can see, there is something else which I don’t realise, there is something that I am a part of but its a part of me too…

    Too many thoughts flying around in random motion inside my head, but when I move out of my own body and see them from outside, they look in perfect symmetry…

    Reminds me of the times, when as a kid, I used to think what if I have to travel to the end of the space… would i really find it?
    Peace

  • Are you Single?

    Do you think Singles have to work harder? Probably because they cannot say to the boss, that they have a wife, or a husband or a kid waiting back home?

  • Firefox 3

    Firefox 3 Beta 1 was made available for download yesterday to be tested…

    What surprises me is that this is available in Gujrati as well, however only for Mac and Linux… Why did they choose only this language of all the languages in India, and why is it that its not there for Windows…


    Are there many gujju users of firefox and who use it on Mac and Linux?

    wondering…

    anyway… THIS is where you click, in case you want to try it out…

    And after many many days, i forgot to have my lunch… not that its anything great or to be proud of… but i like it when my mind is occupied with work… it does not wander around with things that would trouble me otherwise…

  • Fill it up… and don’t ask how !!!

    There is a way to talk to people who work with you…

    either you simply blame them for making a point, writing an email, sending a note or speaking something.. and turn them off to whatever you are going to say next..

    or you first put your point across, and understand theirs and then see what needs to be done…

    thankfully, i don’t get as irritated as I used to get if someone does the first one with me… but it still does not piss me off any less…

    and thankfully, of all the 60-70 people who have reported to me at work at some time or the other, none of them complained about me being the first type of a person…

    Who can fill a bloddy form right if they are not given the instructions, and specially when the form is also an older version, which is not to be used anymore? and no one bothers to tell that to you either !!! and what adds to the irritation is the fact, that you had asked about the instructions months ago, and thats when it was treated as the least priority item…

  • I Ain’t Got no Left Feet !!!

    Its amazing what one good song can do to you…

    I have been pretty dull since morning… and winamp just now chose to play “Mauja hi Mauja” from Jab We Met…

    first thing i did was pause it, put the headphones one, increase the volume and PLAY…

    and i could do nothing but dance while sitting in couch… well too lazy to get up you see…

    My eyes closed… and what flashed through my eyes were

    1. The jam sessions at college
    2. Spectramind parties
    3. Hughes get-togethers where we used to dance our asses out on our favorite songs being played over and over again ( the sariska outing where we played Dhol Mix of Summer of 69 over 25 times; the rain dance party when Summer of 69 ruled, followed by Amar Arshi’s Kala Chashma)
    4. Mantas party when we danced almost all night;
    5. IBM’s new year parties;
    6. A couple of outings at Capitol, Ashoka in Delhi

    Not that I am a great dancer, but I don’t dissapoint… not myself neither anyone who gives me company !!!

    I am getting a kick out of thinking about those evenings…

    And while I was writing this post, Winamp decided to play DJ with Hare Raama Hare Krishna from Bhool Bhulaiyya…

    and now in true DJ ishtyle, a twisty song from Hey Baby…

    O Meri Jaan, na le le meri jaan… teri adaa…

    Gustaakhi Maaf Kardi.. Ab to insaaf karde…
    Apna Dil Saaf Karde.. Kehna to Maan le..

    Jaane bhi De.. Jo bhi hua Jaane Bhi de !!!

    Hey… could someone send me a link where I can get the list which is published in the Delhi Times every week, for the last weeks best songs?

  • Happiness Re-Visited…

    This is what I am missing…

    India…

    Thanks Subhadip for clicking a picture I would treasure till my last moments….

    Bro, could you send me the large size of this one.. i stole this one from your blog !!!

    And for the records, this is when we stopped for a break at Rohtang on our way to Leh…

    The video that we made on this trip is one of the best things I have ever seen or heard… thank you Deepak, Subhadip, Ankur, and Anubhav for that rocking trip…

    here are a few more pictures from the trip…

  • You pay more… I pay less…

    Imagine this…

    You go to a monument somewhere in India and go to the ticket counter…

    There are two windows there… which read

    Indians : Rs. 20
    Foreigners : Rs 250

    I would not be very happy to read this… not that i don’t want India to earn more money… not that I did not feel awkward when the foreigner had to pay in $s, but right now its going to be a oranges to oranges differences in the ticket prices… it feels a li’il more embarrasing somehow…

    When I was showing a german friend around Delhi a few years back… it was kind hard answering the questions that she asked about why foreigners have to shell out more money than Indians at so many places? do you have an answer to that, something that I can give to people who ask me about travelling to India and visiting all the grand monuments that we have.

    Also thing like these, also, in a way encourage the street shop owners to charge the tourists more that the actual price of the stuff they are selling? Something that most of the tourists label as cheating?

    Indian authorities have now decided that tourists should now pay in INR instead of $s because the value of rupee is increasing against the $…

    Read more about it here.

    I wonder how it would be when I have to pay £20 for entry to a museum when someone in the UK pays £2… i guess I would never be able to visit anything…
