I feel a little bad that some of you come here everyday expecting a new post and find nothing! Anyhow, this sadness is short-lived cos I have devised a cunning plan which would allow me to blog more often. So just bear with me for few more weeks!
In the meanwhile, here are some new developments:
- The new blog toy, cocomment, is really cool. Its definitely one of the “in” things right now. It allows you to keep track of all the comments you make on others’ blogs and also allow you to share your comments on your blog with help of a blog box, which can be seen on the sidebar of my blog too. You can customize it so suit your template but I haven’t done that because of paucity of time. Its still in beta but then so is Flickr and even Gmail so it’s okay.
- I met Sher-e-Jalandhar last weekend and for some reason he thinks that I am very serious which I don’t think I am. I’m only a little serious but don’t mind being called “brooding types”. He seemed like a fun and easygoing guy. (Sorry SeJ, I don’t do compliments very well. I am far better at criticizing.)
- I also met an old friend from school after 14 years (the one I mentioned in this post). It was fun to meet her after such a long gap. Also, NamesDatabase has now linked to that post and I am getting a lot more hits than usual. But what makes me really happy is when someone they refer checks out some of my other posts too.
- Our company is taking us for an outing this weekend and since the location is top secret and we are all supposed to have loads of fun there, if I don’t blog for next few weeks, it would be safe to assume that I died bcos of all the fun.
- Update: I always wanted to apply for The Amazing Race. But now that they are actually allowing Asian people to apply for an Asian version, I realized I couldn’t apply. Firstly, I don’t have a teammate and secondly, I can’t take a leave of 30-40 days if I get selected. Actually, I don’t have a passport either but it is expected any day now. So looks like I’ll just have to be content with watching TAR.
One. That’s the number of posts I wrote last week, which is a shame.
I wanted to write a post on Friday but since Kamasutra worm was supposed to manifest itself that day, our infra guys decided to shut down the proxies completely.
Now, you need to know that Internet is an energy source for me so without it, I felt extremely weak. I was unable to work properly. I did have some fun though. I watched two episodes of Family Guy that I downloaded some time back.
So anyhow, I promise to be regular now. In the meanwhile, please read this post by one of India’s most elite bloggers, TTG, who is in Melbourne now. I share his views on the topic of the post and if I could write better, I would have written something like this.
I’m trying my hand at photography these days and it lead me to flickr, where I registered and posted few of my pics. [I’ll give you all the URL of my photos once I post nice ones - the prospects of which don’t seem too bright.]
I started to look around on flickr for other photos and I was awestruck by the beauty of all the photos. I am addicted to flickr now. So many great new photos are posted on it everyday, its difficult to stop oneself from all the flickring.
In other news, I have been shifted from the ground floor to the third floor because I’m part of a different internal group now. The new cubicle is small and the chair too has a different design so I am trying to make myself feel comfortable here.
As you all might remember, I love skyscrapers and skylines. I also frequent a very popular urban centric forum called skyscrapercity.
Now, I started visiting this forum way back in 2003. At that time, there were hardly any Indian forumers but as time passed, more and more Indian forumers joined in and now there’s even an Indian subforum there. So it seems like more Indians are interested in skyscrapers. Also, till some time ago, there was a dearth of good high quality pictures of indian cityscapes and skylines but that seems to be changing too.
The following are few new images of Mumbai (India’s best skyline) taken from the forum. These show some new areas of Mumbai and few old ones from new perspective. Please click the images for a larger, better view. The third picture is the best of the lot, in my opinion.

Atif tagged me.
Rule: Go to Google and write, “Your name needs” (i.e. “Raj needs”) and paste the freaky results.
So here are the results:
Raj needs some encouragement.
Raj needs a wake up call.
Raj needs the money urgently.
Raj needs a job.
Raj needs to submit his timetable to Rachel.
Raj needs to let this one drop.
Raj needs someone to get his life back in order.
Raj needs a playmate.
Raj needs no introduction in Indian cinema.
Raj needs a 7 to double up and survive.
Raj needs babysitting.
It’s a fun tag so I want everyone to do it but since I already tagged everyone just a while back, I am not forcing anyone to do it. So if you are reading this and you want to do it, do it.
Raj
