After the recent tragedy, I had absolutely no access to internet on my phone. I just couldn’t afford paying 450/month for GPRS and neither did it make any sense paying such a HUGE amount. So, I had deleted all the applications that I had installed ( after a lot of searching and finding ).

However, a few days back, maybe the Gods were impressed by something, that they gave me the thought to buy myself a new number ( reasons for which are a totally different story. I bought a new Airtel number, and along with it, I was offered a totally fantabulous GPRS package ( 99/month for unlimited data access on a postpaid connection ). With this, I had good access to internet and so I began to look for some really interesting and useful applications for my activites. Unbelievable as it may sound, I _need_ to have access to my Gmail Inbox atleast every 30 minutes ( Yes, I get more than 75 emails a day ), so I was specifically looking for applications that would help me do the following.

• Read my Gmail Inbox
• Let me chat with my Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk and Skype contacts
• Push Email ( if possible )
• Web content uploader ( to services like Youtube, flickr etc )
• other, if useful.

Now, let me begin describing what I have on my phone now.

Everyone visits a restaurant. You, me, your friends, my friends, families ; everyone gets bored of the home-made food someday or sometimes are too lazy to cook. So it is decided to go to the restaurant. But ever paid attention what goes on at the restaurant table when the order is to be placed ? Here’s an email forward I got, which I do NOT regret getting, something that I’m glad was forwarded to me. Totally worth the read.

Recently I noticed something strange through which I go almost everytime I visit a restaurant. And now I have started to hate it. I have noticed this when I go with my college friends, Team mates, or even relatives. I am sure even you have gone through this, but have never noticed, or have simply ignored the fact. What I am talking about is a regular day when you go out for lunch / Dinner, just because you are “bored” of homely food and want a change.
I will take the blame on myself and become the person who delivers the regular dialogues and continue with the tale, you can link it with your experiences in a restaurant. I will keep the conversation limited to two people, so that it becomes easier for me to write the tale. And I will mention only the vegetarian dishes which are served in every hotel.

… to the adjoining room in my house that is.

Interior renovations are underway in my apartment and my room is the first one to undergo surgery. So, I had to move my PC table’s ass from my room to the drawing room temporarily for the next 15 days. Now, this is NOT how I want to sit. It just doesn’t feel comfortable. To top this, I’ll be sharing the room with 5 other female operators working for dad’s business of Data Entry

With this, I’ve had to connect a temporary set up of the PC. I’ve not connected my Zebronic but instead am using my Compaq laptop. This new room does NOT have a direct telephone line, so you can imagine how my internet is going to be for the next month or so. Also, no speakers only headphones

Here’s how the set-up looks now.

Today’s my last submission day in college. LDMS submission along with SP practicals and viva ( which btw I won’t be able to attend because that B!TC# is being a herself and not letting me and the other new student )

Anyway, I just finished writing my assignments and was bored to go for a bath so thought I’d just fuck up my Windows. I downloaded some files / programs / wallpapers etc and here’s how it looks now.

Recently I found out that the popular lady who teaches finances to the masses, Suze Orman, is actually a big fan of long term care insurance and thinks the mid-fifties are a good time to invest. Suze like LTC so much so that she went ahead and dedicated an entire chapter of her book to the topic. Suze Orman and Long Term Care Insurance are both topics you should learn about, because LTCI - the short name for it - is all about making smart decisions for your future. Suze will be the first to tell you that Genworth Long Term Insurance is one of her favorites. She also hates debt and likes strong companies like Genworth. We highly encourage you to take a look at the linked resources above and feel free to ask us if you hav
e any questions about LTCI - long term care insurance.

Where’s the TataSky - A review [ Part Three ] you might be wondering, na ?

The thing is, I’ve been a lot busy lately with college and other work and not only this, but the renovations underway @ my home have been taking its toll on me. Anyhow, back to the topic.

Today is the 37th day of using TataSky. So far, I’ve had no “major” complaints against them. All the minor complaints that I’ve had, were addressed by their executives within 24 hours of each.

Here’s a summary of TataSky Services:

Thumb’s Up:

• Excellent Program Guide
• Very good remote
• Excellent Picture and Sound quality
• Excellent Customer Service and After-Sales

Thumb’s Down:

• Active Channels - Not really useful. STB becomes unstable sometimes. The channels work as if still in Beta.
• Rains - Signal goes dead if you get HEAVY rainfall. ( I emphasize on HEAVY rainfall )

Even though I wanted to write a detailed review, time constraints aren’t letting me. You’ll find other reviews on Google too. I hope this 3-part review has helped you in some-part.

Thanks

So here I am, with my Compaq laptop on my lap, wanting to write something for the blog. I’ve been pretty “Subbu-ish” lately, not writing much on the blog but rather boring you with the boring videos shot from my SONY handycam. But well, its not just that, but I’ve been genuinely busy/ill/hung up with things. Oh well… not any more ( I hope )

There’s this tutorial that I’ve decided to write for MTNL customers again, for those who want wi-fi in their houses. Then there was this Motorola ROKR Z6 review too, but I’ll pass on that.

Anyway, coming to the title of this entry, does any one of you talk in your sleep ?

Not necessarily “in” your sleep, but even when someone has just woken you up ? Do you mumble some words ?

Well, have a look at this video.

Here’s the story:
My cousin, Mr. Sandesh ( ) works at a major BPO firm where they have a mainframes which have names. Now, one of them had problems a day prior to this video was shot. Now, he was the one to notify everyone that the mainframe was finally up. He was telling everyone, “Vince is up” ( Vince being the name of the mainframe ). Now, here we have him, the NEXT day, just waking up and mumbling “Vince is up” ?
