| The Open Door |
| 2008-06-29 23:02:30 |
Sometimes I think its pushing things too far. Heard about this thing called the open door? Its one thing I really like here in HP. There are no doors, none except other than the main entrance door where we flash our dog collars. What else do you call them?
Life’s an open book here; you should [...]...

| Fish, Chips and Coffee |
| 2008-06-10 11:57:16 |
Vanilla and chocolate sauce is the most favorite combination amongst masses. They taste the best when one is frozen and other is hot. They complement each other just right.
One is the perfect flavor of simplicity and the other, is devoured, passion, and the perfect sin!!
Opposites and ironies are the food for thought. They make our [...]...

Life plays as a mystery
I thought I knew it all
The ride was going to be smooth
It fooled me again, that’s all
Memories of a distant place,
Tender love in my heart
I dream of tomorrow,
But I am scared of another fall
Beginning of a new day,
Made stronger by the failure
I will try again
Only to fly even higher

| Life of a Salesman |
| 2008-05-16 06:42:43 |
When I say, SALESMAN; what comes to your mind first? These are what you would imagine him as. Right?
A pesky door to door salesman (selling soap?)
A smart boy in a tie and suit (again at your door, the Eureka Forbes kinds?)
The boys outside banks, trying to sell credit cards
Tele marketers (“I am calling from HDFC [...]...

| Angel Strikes Back! |
| 2008-05-08 03:15:08 |
This might seem an act of revenge coming from a 23 year old that has some authority on this subject matter and hence I will go ahead with it. These are personal observations along with some universal facts. Please do not think I am feminist, I am just trying to kick a&* of an MCP! [...]...

| The Kid in Us |
| 2008-05-05 02:32:49 |
I haven’t shaved for a month now and have a thick beard. It’s not the sexiest of sights; I don’t want to shave it either. It keeps reminding me of what I have grown up into. Notice the choice of words.
I was browsing through some of the old family snaps, and I can’t believe, it [...]...

| Why women like men |

These might seem very bull, very very bull coming from a 23 year old who has no authority on this subject matter but I’ll go ahead anyway. These are just personal observations, and do not involve any kind of research whatsoever. Please don’t think I am sexist, I am just trying to be a male [...]...

| Into the Wild |
| 2008-04-15 10:25:13 |
Some movies change you. Into the Wild, is one of them. It’s not yet changed me, but it’s got me thinking a lot. The movie is about Chris McCandless who grew up in Annandale, Virginia, and died at age 24 in a wilderness area of the state of Alaska. After graduating in 1990 from Emory [...]...

Before I begin writing anything, I would like to put a small disclaimer here. Please don’t expect a direction, a moral, a conclusion or a happy ending in this article. I wrote many paragraphs individually and put them together under one heading - something that just sounded cool and with nothing more to it.

| Google on April Fools Day 2008 |
| 2008-04-01 15:14:51 |
Google Virgle
So google does it again! And this time its not only Google but also Richard Branson! An April Fools Joke crafted in great detail goes to the extent of even co branding with Virgin! Virgle.
SO what is it this time?
Colonizing Mars, and actually inviting applications to join the mission as a Pioneer!
Heck, they even went to the extent of creating an online application, you can take the test here. Google totally takes to a all new level this [...]...

| Friends and “Friends” |
| 2008-03-28 06:53:09 |
We all have a set of friends and “friends”. Initially it’s a challenge to tell apart “friends” from friends. However, if we let life decide for us, it actually turns out to be a painful process. Something like going through a rough patch. A nerve wrecking experience at times!!! Feeling anguished, cheated and hmmmm … [...]...

The college days have been good, and not matter what we thought while we were at it, they were the simplest days of our lives. No really. When I think about the assignments we got, the tests we wrote, all of it - very simple. Don’t know why we cribbed so much about them. When [...]...

I was astonished to see how she scrapped the last few morsels of rice from the bowl. I wondered why she was so particular about cleaning the bowl in that way. I looked down at the heap of rice that had been scrapped from different bowls in the same manner.
Some of us have the luxury [...]...

The Tatas, have done the impossible. We almost laughed when the idea first came up, and Ratan Tata had made his plans public. There were a lot of speculations on what it would hold, since the cheapest car on Indian roads M800 had the most basic of features. What else could they strip a car [...]...

When was it ever mentioned that Valentine’s Day leads to immorality? Why are the fanatics so hell bent on destroying on the one day that means no harm, but actually spreads some love around? I have over the years read news reports on how; couples were besmeared with cow dung, beaten up and in some [...]...

I’ll always remember reading books of jungle lore by Kenneth Anderson as a kid. The vivid portrayals of the jungles of south India were a treat to read. While most of this stories and musings were about hunting tigers (mostly man eaters), there were many that dealt with panthers, rogue elephants and even bears. What [...]...

| 2008-02-08 13:35:51 |
Dr. Amit Kumar/Dr. Horror. The name runs a chill down your spine. I recently saw the movie Turistas and how a doctor not only dissected the body alive but took all body parts that could be of any use including the skin for transplants. Gross, you will say. But we can’t discount the fact that [...]...

There comes a time in everyone’s life when one needs to let go of things and leave them to fate. Whatever happens is not of your concern anymore. But there are somethings that are so hard to let go, its not funny. All the years of toil and effort you put in, you don’t know [...]...

After Firefox kicked IE out of the scene, Mozilla hopes to draw first blood with Songbird. Songbird is the first open source application for managing media, [...]...

I am moving over to a dedicated hosting with Wordpress. This should be the last switch i make. hopefully. If i ever run our of space or bandwidth then the hunt will be on again! This blog will be shut down in some days. Over the past 2 years, I have seen more hits each day. I have also seen myself grow as a blogger. What started as Life in 360 will remain as Life in 360 though. Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm shown. I am also looking at starting a Marketing Blog in some time. Soon, I shall start working. It would be tough but the posts will keep coming. That's a promise. Once a techie, always a techie! Adios! As always, Vinni Check the new the new website in progress.
