The Sunday Punch

August 28th, 2005 · No Comments

Sunday mornings can be so good. I was up at 9 this morning which if you know me well is very very unusual. After helping mom with the Sunday errands I logged onto the blog and ever since spent a good portion of the morning tweaking and shaping up the blog to make it more [...]

August 27th, 2005 · No Comments

As a client servicing executive I spend a good amount of my time understanding client briefs. Earlier this morning at the end of one such meeting we decided to take the PowerPoint presentation back to our office for further review.

A good blog

August 24th, 2005 · No Comments

Time to introduce my readers to a good blog. I hit upon Chetan’s monologue just surfing around at DesiPundit. It’s a very well-organised informative and interesting blog to feed on. If you read around you will also find that the neat template has been designed by Chetan himself.
I also managed to alert Chetan about his [...]

iPods don a new skin

August 24th, 2005 · 1 Comment

I am not a application skin crazy fellow. I typically prefer using applications in their default mode. But this one really got my attention. Thanks to the team at office I found this online. This winamp skin makes the player look like an iPod player locked on your desktop. It’s fancy indeed and doesn’t just [...]

Microsoft’s Island

August 11th, 2005 · 1 Comment

I had to see it – Couldn’t miss such a movie, which was creating so much news ever since it’s release and is on the Current US Top Ten. After last week’s cancellation I managed to catch the Saturday late night show for The Island at the all fancy Inox. Trust me, it’s a sheer [...]
