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 [...]

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

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.

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 [...]
