My maternal grandmother turned 75 yesterday so we obviously had a big bash for her.
Attending the event were her childhood friends and other associates. Good times all around. Food was amazing, so was the champagne and chocolate liquor later on.
To many more good times…
Watching the Roger - Nadal final at Wimbledon. Question: Is this THE best sports rivalry of our time?
Certainly is the greatest tennis rivalry in generations.. the best I’ve ever seen. 2 guys, extremely fit and confident going at it time and time again. Each trying to defend his own turf and gain a foothold on the opposite turf at the same time.
Nadal on Clay = Roger on Grass… or make that Roger anywhere else.
It is inevitable that Nadal wins on grass sometime and takes charge of the Championships from then on. But in the meantime lets enjoy something special.
The moment I saw that image on my computer screen I knew I wanted to blog it.
Things that took that idea and made it a reality were:-
Scribefire plugin for Firefox 3. This allows me to post unobtrusively and get back to work.
Downloaded Fast Stone image capture but that and paint would not keep the video image from the GOM player.
Luckily GOM has a built in screen cap option.
Using that and pasting it into irfanview and saving it as jpeg allowed me to create the image.
Thanks to wordpress for making it so easy to upload, paste and center the image into the blog post.
Miracle of technology.. the above steps took about 3 minutes.
Wow, real freaky occurrence just took place.
Today in India there is was a movie launched called Love Story 2050 which takes place on the 4th of October 2050. The 4th happens to be my birthday.
Anyways, right now I was watching an episode of Heroes (First season) called 5 years gone and a date they mention happens to be… drum roll: 4th of October.
Trying to insert the screen cap below. Hope it works.
The 4th of October
First official new post on the wordpress blog.
Moved all my archives from blogger to wordpress today and soon will be exclusively posting here.
I like the variety of themes they have going. Only thing I’ll miss is being able to embed all sorts of cool analytical stuff.
Enjoy.
p.s. This weekend I hope NOT to be doing much beside being forced to shop for clothes by my mom and giving hookah-recovering buddy some company at a small place thats become our hangouts of sorts called masala chai… Let me know if you’ve ever visited the place.
Oddly enough, it began after I’ve been watching the American TV Show House on a daily basis.. House features an eccentric doctor who is a genius/jerk and has chronic pain in the same knee as mine.
Coincidence is for people who lack imagination.
Enjoy the experience that is next-gen Firefox.
The heat was really killing this year. The temperature dropped 10 degrees in a day. That’s something. Opened my windows at noon only to find it looking like 5 in the evening.
At work today and already this Friday feels good. Looking forward to yet another weekend of debauchery.
Helped Team Rustic manage a corporate event (one of the biggest in the cities history) of epic proportions. Over 5 grand people, lots of noise, action, drama and the Kat herself - yes I spent some moments in proximity of Katrina Kaif and also Bipasha Basu - two of the hottest actresses in the B-wood industry.
Chugged down red bulls by the sleeve and lived to tell the tale. Hopefully once the camera is charged and connected, pictures of this wild weekend will follow.
Good times.
As it so happens, tomorrow this blog completes FIVE whole years. Thats right, what started as a simple way to journal and chronicle my daily life and musings turned into first a link fest then a pic blog, a review site and finally completing the circle (since I graduated and ran out of time) into a personal diary of musings and such.
In other news, got couple of ping pong tables at work and looking forward to sweating away some cals during the grind.
Are you afraid just reading that list?
Jeffrey Archer returns to his best form in a modern day twist of an age old classic.
I spent the night reading this thriller that turns into a raging inferno and then suddenly reminds us that revenge is a dish best served cold. I’ll say no more but just this.
The master is back. One of the quotes of the book: “Life is neither black nor white, simply different shades of Grey.”
Which is why I was thrilled to see this on wired today:-
Enjoy.
All over the place and it promises to be a weekend without relaxation as well. So tired.
