The traffic jams are getting worse by the day. The 10 minute journey which used to take 20 minutes till last year, now takes 45.

Republic Day

.... & we celebrated by upgrading to 512 kbps from 256.

The Kingdom

Typifies the typical American world view, but a good watch if you leave that aside. Fast paced with great action sequences.

Ashraf Barhom as Colonel Faris Al Ghazi is outstanding.

Jolly crashed his Apache yesterday.

Thankfully, the only things broken were a headlight & his thumb. He is scheduled for surgery tomorrow to fix up his finger. GBW him.

Humsafar

KK's latest is out.

I had great expectations since this was the next after Pal, & what a classic that was! However it disappoints. The songs have the pop touch to them & none of them come anywhere close to the ones in Pal.

Auto Expo 2008

I'll let the pictures do the talking.















Wish I could have been there.

Compaq Presario V6000

My new year gift to myself. 2008, it's gonna be gr8!

Trip home

Honey Bhaiya & family turned out to be a revelation. No high-strung bull like the rest of the family, at least not on this trip. And Rhythm & Rhea are the cutest nieces.

Jamshedpur is changing. But Jaychand's dosa, Lakhi's egg rolls & Daddy's cakes taste the same. And the Basant Talkies soda still retails at Rs. 2 a glass!

Mom has major health issues.

Life is set to see a lot of changes in a hurry.
