Random Ramblings

Yeah, I know. Long time, No see; Not busy, just lazy. So let me make this short,
  • I have discovered youtube. Not that I just flew down from Solomon Islands after 20 years of isolation today, just that over the past few days I came across some nice videos on various subjects. To give you an example my search strings include "balance sheet" "CDO" "steve jobs" "bharti" "russell peters" etc. all returning pretty good results. (You can try "Monica Belluci" to find even better results)
Check this one Bharti Ad out - it gave me goosebumps
  • I saw this video for the first time today, that too on youtube and not on TV. I am not watching much of TV. I used to love my morning tea with the news paper, not any more. Welcome, google reader. I read my cricket matches on cricbuzz. (this is one not out of choice, thats the best one can do in office). Though, I am still not eating fruits and vegetables in email attachments but yes Internet seems to have arrived in my life
  • I saw Dostana. Liked it for lighthearted movie. Some genuine humor. Ironically, We were two guys (the second letter is 'u' not 'a') watching it. Junta around found that to be in the spirit of the movie and gave us those Oh-my-God-this-is-gurgaon-not-miami looks !
  • Indian Cricket team is on a roll. After flushing the Kangaroos down, they are just wiping out English. They seem to be taking this colonization thing very personally. Good for the viewers though !
  • Sensex is down, downer, downest, downester, downestest.... Everyone is loosing badly But then In a capitalistic economy, the gains are privatized and the losses are socialized. (Thats government bailout for you in a sentence.)
  • I love Google Chrome, Fantastic browser, darned good speed. Minimum Hassle. Oh and Just that you know I dont work for google, I actually work for a Financial Services company and I am glad I am writing this in present tense.
