November 26th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Last week I spent some time looking for a new camera to move on from my current Canon Powershot A510. Although I have been very happy with this one, I thought it was time to move on and get something more professional so that I could take a step forward in my learning curve.

November 13th, 2007 · No Comments

It’s been a few months now since I got addicted to twitter. Although the integration with Google Talk makes things very easy I was curious to experiment with other twitter tools. So I tried a few of them:

Reliance Mutual Fund’s huge locker

November 8th, 2007 · No Comments

Last week I noticed this huge locker at Churchgate station. It’s an advertising prop for Reliance Mutual Fund. It says “Unlock your money’s potential”. I think it was interesting but didn’t seem to like the execution a lot - could have been produced better I felt. But I must say it’s big and should have [...]

Vidya Balan is wonderful in Bhool Bhulaiyaa

November 5th, 2007 · No Comments
