  • Between Wall-E, Slumdog and Dark Knight, I hope Wall-E and Dark Knight get all oscars, save music for Rahman. #
  • LOST in three hours!!! Amazing night this is!! ‘T was about time #
  • As always Boston.com pics of inauguration are simply brilliant: http://tinyurl.com/7j4f83 #
  • Kalyan Singh says he wont be back to BJP “in his life”. Considering he’s 76 I wonder how long is he thinking… 😀 #

  • @patrix “We are willing to extend a hand, if you are willing to unclench a fist.” Great thought! — Agree; if only MMS was hearing this… in reply to patrix #
  • Dannie Boyle: SHUT UP! #
  • Bush, just one more bushism before you leave. Just one. Please. Pretty please! Just one. For keep’s sake. #
  • Michelle Obama looks like a sadu woman lol #
  • Only Fox News can compare numbers @ a death funeral and a President swearing in LOL!! Funny! #
  • Ok, O, just come out! I gotta shower and head to work. Not that I plan to see the whole speech anyways. I expect more of “Yes Yes we can” #
  • Big crowd @ Capitol – reminds me of Cherry Blossom festival on a warm sunny weekend. For a January sub zero temps, that quite too many! #

  • How many Americans with Indian background are there in Obama’s cabinet? Any list? #
  • I’m tired of all the slumdog analysis. Get real – its just a movie; don’t make it a representative of all things India. #
  • Installing software on Wifey’s new Vista machine; Jeez, going back to windoze is so painful! Gimme XP anyday, but no Vista. Puuhleez! #
  • How do I mass/bulk delete files off PS3? Surely there has to be a way of doing this… #
  • Why on earth do some bloggers have so much adware / malware on their blogs? They go in my banned list immediately! #
  • Sometimes I wonder if Obama would be the president had the economy, future outlook had been good? Some part of me believes, he wouldn’t. #
  • For an elocution contest in my school days, I had orated “I have a dream”. I lost, thnks to my stage fright that led to forgetting lines. #
  • Whoa – a huge slew of people decided to follow me on twitter yesterday… must check ’em out! #
  • Tere Naina from Chandni Chowk is such a beautiful song, but its picturization is so incredibly horrid! #
  • Ugggh!! This is really scary http://tinyurl.com/79ydhp Hope its not gonna play out this way! #
  • comcast.com is all web 2.0 but painfully and woefully slow. Its ridiculous. #
  • Akshay Kumar’s are getting worse by the movie; What an incredibly horrific movie Chandni Goes to China is! (:P). #

  • Reliance India Call has stopped Firefox support for a while. How incredibly stupid! #
  • If we were in east coast, would have prolly joined my friends planning on going to the ceremony. I miss my friends, DC and life there 🙁 #
  • Can’t these scientists stop trying to find “signals” of life on mars? Drop some bacteria there and see if it evolves! #
  • Any place i can watch the inauguration ceremony? Any national TV network showing it? I dont get CNN / MSNBC or any other cable channels. #
  • @patrix Talked to my friends yesterday in DC about it, so know it. Concerts by Beyonce, U2 etc seem like an overkill to me. in reply to patrix #
  • @patrix If anything the celebration has caused insane traffic jam, hiked up prices everywhere, and DC has been impossible to navigate. in reply to patrix #
  • 150 Million $ – That’s Obama’s inauguration costs? OK, that seems ridiculous to me. That too, in this kind of economic hopelessness. #

  • Glad to know wifey agrees with me on my assessment of DevD vs Delhi 6 #
  • OK, I am going to call a controversial one here. Musically DevD is better and richer than Delhi 6. #
  • Deleted my quicken online / yodlee account. Quicken desktop + Mint online will be just perfect for me. #
  • @patrix Cool – thanks for reminding me abt Mint; Yep, got the info & am suitably relieved. We are not too off by Calif / Bay area average! in reply to patrix #
  • Its shocking the amount we’ve spent on “eating out” last year. I wonder what’s bay area average for eating out. #
  • Done importing a year’s worth of data in quicken, half of which by manual way. The results and stats should now be interesting…! #
  • giving quickenonline a try; i have quicken desktop so makes sense try the online version. #
  • Need to free up another 10 Gb though… #
  • Deleted 10Gb worth of RAW photos that I’m sure I’m never going to touch again. What’s the point keeping them? #
  • After listening to Rehna Tu for 20th time I have deduced that this song could have been a classic without the mukhda; the mukhda doesnt fit. #

  • Yahoo’s paying their CEO 19 million $ for first year. No wonder this company is going to dust. #
  • According to forbes, Ambani’s net worth has reduced by 30$ billion in 9 months. How! #
  • I’ve had crazy last 2 weeks. Gladly looking forward to extended weekend… #
  • I dread it when sales engrs want to setup a “time” and “place” to discuss my “products” I’m looking for. Just gimme the freakin price quote! #
  • OK. Dannie Boyle has taken slumdog too seriously. This is offensive! http://tinyurl.com/8er62f #
  • The new desipundit community is not working for me. I find myself going only to featured and upcoming; the rest seem ultra boring! #

  • @patrix No. You’re not alone. JBJ songs rocked. in reply to patrix #
  • masakalli is brilliant brilliant brilliant! #
  • Definitely a much better effort than Jodhaa Akbar, Ada, Yuvvraaj or Ghajini. #
  • Heck, Delhi 6 seems one experimental album. Gladly, almost all of it works brilliantly! #
  • Rehna Tu is an incredible experimental track by Rahman – bizzare and brilliant at the same time! #
  • Last 2 weeks I’ve been working crazy hours! #
  • Indian politicos are so toothlesss http://tinyurl.com/8p35xv #
  • Listening to music of Delhi 6 right now… #

  • Every year I wonder, how do such terrible singers come on American Idol and perform with such confidence! Seriously! #
  • So no, today is NOT my budday 😛 😛 #
  • Too many people wishing me on my birthday today, thanks to facebook, where I never put my real budday in first place. #
  • LOST. Next Wednesday. The wait is over! #
  • Wifey admits that US television serials are miles ahead of Indian television. Good, I get to watch Lost, House, and the likes! #
  • Anyone know a good utility to enter data manually into Quicken? Or maybe import QIF into Quicken Web connect? Its proving to be painful! #
  • Multi-media singh has taken Munnabhai and Gandhigiri too seriously! http://tinyurl.com/9r84ny #
