• Staying in west coast means missing out on almost all “live shows”. So we see globes after everyone else sees it; ah, no suspense 🙁 #
• Its amazing that next to my rent, travel has been our biggest expense last year. Need to cut down on travel. No Maldives/Hawaii like places! #
• I love the credit card utilization chart; one stop shop to know which ones are in red and which ones are in green… #
• When I’ve added every possible account I pay money too, I am quite flabbergasted by the amount of wasted expenditures! #
• The ability to add any and every account type (and more than 95% of them it can auto import data from website) is proving to be beneficial. #
• Done categorizing all un-categorized transactions in Yodlee. I am warming up to yodlee – its slow, but very feature rich. #

• In every Indian reality tv-show, one or more judges HAVE to stage a walkout; they think the audience is that dumb to not figure that out! #
• Our non-flexible spending (stuff like rent, etc etc) is simply over the roof! Jeez, the amount baffles me completely! Thank you yodlee! #
• Redid Yodlee account properly this time; and the more accounts I add, the more I am feeling dizzy!! #
• Damn, the songs of Dev D are simply catching on and on with me; they are bloody freaking good! #

• Ok, I dont like Anurag Kashyap, but damn songs of DevD rock!!! Nayan Tarse is awesome! #
• I dont know whether to laugh at this or compliment this. http://tinyurl.com/7ecwa5 #
• @patrix Why are you not trying the .htaccess method to create per category feed? Sorry, must have missed what you are trying to accomplish. in reply to patrix #

• Damn Palm Pre will launch on Sprint. I hate ATT, can’t get iPhone, I dont like Sprint, so no Palm Pre, so will stay with Verizon! #
• Damn, The Palm Pre is looking drop dead gorgeous. Oh Please, on Verizon, Pretty please!!!! #
• http://tinyurl.com/828un9 Lord help my country, I don’t want to see this happen! #
• @patrix That said, i am back on mint; Yodlee is just too damn slow, and mint’s fresh UI is addictive. Yodlee needs a web 2.0 overhaul! in reply to patrix #
• @patrix With Yodlee you can add any and every type of account (rewards, electricity, gas etc) and set up bill-pay and reminders too. in reply to patrix #

• Trying to do a compare between Yodlee and Mint. Mint is great to look at, but Yodlee has a lot of features… #
• SRK is going to present an award @ Globes. I am guessing Rahman has won it? Feels like Filmfare deja vu 😉 #
• Mano ya Naa Mano used to be good show about the paranormal, but its turned into one stupid horror show lately #
• One of my best buddies had a baby today. Damn, I wish we were in DC to celebrate this with other friends. #
• I need a tea break right now.. #
• @patrix Ahhh, so DP bowed down to Google’s demands of Chinese democracy eh 😛 in reply to patrix #

• Anyone’s used Yodlee before? #
• When it comes to online photo management, I think picasaweb is hands down the FASTEST i’ve used, and smugmug the slowest. #
• If only Google provided unlimited space for 40$ a year like smugmug, I’d jump on it without a second thought. #
• Still can’t make up my mind – keep Smugmug pro or Flickr Pro 🙁 🙁 🙁 – Both of the pro accounts expire next month…. #

• Chandni Chowk to China seems like a terrible movie #
• Work after 10 days of holidays is proving to be very difficult!!! #
• MTV Roadies auditions are hilarious. Can’t figure out who is more stupid – the contestants or the Raghu the interviewer. #

• In general, I find all of Cisco products Graphical User Interface horrendous! I wonder how will the entertainment system UI’s will be… #
• Cisco is getting into home entertainment. I am very interested in this development and will watch it closely. #
• Deepika Padukone turning 23 is headline news on NDTV. WTF. #
• Chidambaram has already gone into “If Mumbai is repeated consequences will be enormous…” mode. There, the cycle begins again. Wimp. #
• Watched Ghajini. Terrible. Amir Khan had a nerve to call Ghajini better than Memento. He’s obviously suffering from memory loss here! #

• An encounter has been goin on in Poonch since 50 hours and 3 soldiers are dead already. How many know this, or much less care? Thanks Media #
• Virgin America was so damn casual about their flight being 90 minutes late out of Las Vegas yesterday as if it was a matter of fact! #
• Done uploading, tagging and sharing links with friends for the San Diego / Las Vegas trips. #
• Its interesting, not one casino-hotel on the strip features an Indian restaurant in its line-up. Isn’t Indian food exotic? #
• Las Vegas trip was fun, but I think both of us have had enough of it – there is only so many times you can walk through mall-hotels. #
• Finally at home after 8 days of traveling. A much needed lazy weekend is in order. #

…hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dum nikle
bahot nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle

…thousands of desires, each worth dying for…
many of them I have realized…yet I yearn for more…

                <strong>- Mirza Ghalib</strong>
