My mom had gone to chennai to pick up US visitor visa today. Her appointment was at 8:15 – 8:30 am, but she only came out at 4pm. The US Consulate refused to give any official reason and my dad was waiting outside without a clue on what was happening inside. To make matters worse , they had to miss the train back home which was booked at 2pm. It turns out it was a virus issue. Apparently a Virus Knocks Out U.S. Visa Approval System. I for one, would have never imagined I’d lose money ( the wasted tickets…

sush pointed out this one to me the other day. I’d love to have one of these at my place to freak people out. And there are bunch of other funny doormats too

Yep that’s right. I finally found my suit. More importantly I found my tailor for life. If you are looking for one, you should try out the Van Huesen showroom on MG road ( next to GK Vale). First of all they have wide range of models ( I found only 3 – 4 models in all other places ) and the quality, color and texture of the suits are amazing. And the best part of the whole store was the tailor there. As soon as he saw me, he gave me the perfect fit suit. He suggested all the…

These days my friends page has gotten so huge, I hardly seem to find time go though all the journal entries. Its that time of the year, when I go and strip down my friends list. ( Do other people face this problem? ) One important feature that LJ does not support is a way to add a person as you friend, but skip his entries in your friends page and a way to add a person’s feed to your journal without friending him.

Can anyone suggest me a nice place in Bangalore, where I can get a GOOD suit stitched in less then 2 weeks time. I need some place where they know what is what and do a decent job. None of the out-of-the-box ready made ones fit me 🙁

Women can never make up their mind about something. When they say “Yes” , they could really mean “No”. And I got the first hand experience of it today. From now on “I’ll decide and she will listen”.

Another major security flaw in Windows and that too its in the same freaking RPC service. Please patch your systems now before we see another blaster worm 🙁 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-039.asp Me being a computer geek , spent the last 30 min trying to make windows update work. I can imagine the fate of a normal computer user. Finally gave up on it and had to install the patch manually. How dumbfuck can MS be ? They do windows update via IE and since I was going though a proxy, it thought the proxy IP was my windows machine and was trying…

After months of planning and waiting it is finally happening. Though its not a long one, but this will be my first vacation this year. Planning to hit Goa this weekend and maybe will try to skip few days early next week and hang out there 🙂

Went over to fus‘s place for dinner today. Its my yearly Onam dinner visit to his place. Been doing that for the last 3 years. Its the traditional meal , which one eats sitting on the floor on a banana leaf.( though sitting down has always been a problem with me coz if my long legs ). Its amazing how many varieties there were tonight. It was a complete 4 course meal with some 10 different curries. Appu if you dont mind, I will keep coming like this rest of my life 🙂 In other news, I started the much…

I moved to my new office on MG road this week. Because of some legal shit , we are not allowed to take out old machines. So it was that time of the year when I start with fresh BSD install, then download wmaker/fetchmail/galeon etc etc. Have done it after a long time and finally things are falling in place. Atleast the hardware of my new box rocks. The laptop came to the rescue. I could move all my data around from my laptop. ( though it still runs only winXP ). With the new machine, I intend to move…
