I am currently reading “Discovering your Destiny with Robin Sharma” and next on my list is “The Greatness Guide – Book [...]

What’s caught my attention in the past few days…

TED talk on turning the Internet into a 6th sense – like the Tom Cruise kind of stuff from Minority Report.

Nokia E75 – the yet to be launched new mobile phone. I want! I want! But at Rs.25,000 I think the price is a barrier.

I use Google Talk to update my twitter status. A few minutes back I posted an update which said “end of day’s play … going home now“. Strangely twitter said it was an error: Can’t find that person. Did you misspell the name?
