Digital or Film
Hmm. If you are atleast minutely interested in photography, you might have heard this question echoing around nowadays. I bought a digital camera recently and was looking around for opinion regarding this issue. I found these really good well researched articles on the debate. Do have a read. * Film vs. Digital Cameras » kenrockwell.com * Film versus Digital My Summary » clarkvision.com * Digital cameras vs. film – Norman Koren » normankoren.com Ok.
Digital Fortress
One of my dear friends, Manju, loaned me a copy of Dan Brown’s Digital Fortress and since I did not have a lot of other things to do, I decided to give it a go. A big event for me, considering my recent laziness in reading books.. well doing anything rather, even blogging ;) It ended up being a major disappointment. Well atleast compared to Brown’s more famous The
A nice day for Cricket!
Two very exciting matches today, the Ashes test between Australia v England and the ODI India v West Indies. Both thrilling… and both a relief to every loyal cricket fan… Cricket’s magic is still working. What a wonderful test match it was! I would have never thought Australia would have reached so close, needing more than a 100 runs to win with just two wickets remaining. For the first
The New Laws of Cricket
ICC decided to bring in two new laws to limited-overs cricket that will supposedly make it more interesting. Now that the first experiment was tried out during the recent England vs. Australia Nat-West series, we have some idea over whether the whole thing is going to work. I like the first rule. Three blocks of fielding-restrictions (now called as Powerplay). That I think should really add some twists to the
Infosys!
I got recruited! The company is Infosys, one of India’s biggest IT firms. I’m feeling so relieved and secure now. :) 84 of us from my college, and 15 from my class got placed here. That’s great too, I would have some friends there already. But on the other hand, some of friends didn’t get in too. But they have plenty of opportunities coming their way. I
The Great Indianapolis Farce
I have been saying all along that this was the best F1 season I have ever seen in my life. That makes yesterday’s 6 car farce more painful. But no one can now argue with the fact that this has turned out to be the most surprise filled season of all time. Each race seems to spring up something interesting. First of all Michelin should have done better. They
Bangladesh beats Australia!
Wow!! This was probably the biggest upset in the history of one-day cricket. The team that is ranked last in the international ratings (by a long way) beat the team that has been on the top ever since the ratings were introduced. Just think about it… It is somewhat like a Division 2 side in the English league defeating Brazil in football! Consider Bangladesh’s record before this match. Played
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
So today I had some time to kill, and being a big fan of the Star Wars epics I chose to see the latest offering from Lucas – Revenge of the Sith. I wasn’t totally disappointed. Well, comparing it with the prequels, it fared much better than Episode II (which I thought was the worst SW movie ever!) and was at par with Episode I. But definitely no where near
A New Beginning
So here I am, with my third “I’m back” post :). It has really been a long while since I have even given some attention to this site. But its all going to change.. New name, new look and hopefully new life. I have decided to actively run a blog on the site. I had failed thrice on this front, but this time I am determined (I think so). As
The Excursion & My Birthday
On Friday we went for a class excursion. We visited the hill stations Kodaikanal and Munnar and finally the theme park 'Dream World'. It was nice to have a break from the usual monotony of college. And we had the fun of our lives! Also had a chance to get to know about my classmates. It changed my total perception about my class (in a very positive manner). We first
