Panaromic view | Yet again!

 


I had posted two snaps with the title Panaromic view of the same view. This is the third snap of the same view on a Saturday morning clad with fog. I know, there's not much to see in it.

Emotional incident

An incident happened to me the other day. It may not be very significant to most, but to me it meant a lot. I go to B'lore at the least once a month to meet my girl. This instance when I was in the Chennai bust-stand for the same reason an old man came up to me and pleaded. He was crying, pointing at his bag and telling that someone had stolen his Rs. 1,300. He said that he had only that much with him and can't even get back to his home town. I could have easily give him a hundred or two and it wouldn't have mattered much to me. I have seen several fraudsters in my life, this man was not the same. His tears were genuine. I could easily make out from his face that he was in real pain and grief. It seemed to me that he would have been saving the money over a long time. I shunned him away asking him to go to the authorities for help and that I did not have any money. I watched him walking away from me, pausing every two steps and crying. The thought has been haunting me since then. I could have easily helped him but did not trust him.

Panaromic view again

 


Heavy rains lashed over Chennai for a few days. I took a snap of the same location after the rains. Check out the contrast.

Panaromic view

 

A good view from my office window. During the busy schedules, I always make it a point to stand by this window and delve into a reverie. It gives a relief.

P1i | Didn't I tell ya it's hot!!

 

 



Here you go, couple of snaps of my brand new machine. I took these snaps with a sony cybershot phone. My phone costs a whoping 22,450(Almost emptied my salary :-), but take my word, it's worth all that money. It boasts of 160 MB RAM - pushing multitasking to its limits, 3.2 mgpx camera, A camera on the front for video calls, quick access to email apps, excellent display and audio quality. The phone's overall casing and sleek design makes it worth than any PDA in the market. Also its qwerty keyboard, although took me a week to get accustomed, is now very handy.

Overall I would give it a 9/10.

New domain

I finally bought a new domain < a href="http://yanthrikam.net">
Yanthrikam.net
</a>. It was a good deal for Rs. 300/yr. Soon I will be pointing http://yanthrikam.net to http://prabhudc.blogspot.com. So, Apologies for any inconvenience caused. (Although I am pretty sure I am the only one who reads my blog :-) )

UPDATE: Among the sites firewalled in our office, blogger happens to be one. I am pretty known in my office on finding loopholes in all such technical stuffs. I used scribefire, an ff addon to post to my blog. But somehow it doesn't work always, like this time. The post had some error and so I had to repost. Meanwhile devadutta posted a comment on the messed up post. To honor him I ain't deleting either of the posts.. :-)

This delay is to actually propagate the new DNS name to all the name

P1i | Smoking hot!!!

Finally got my hands on a brand new P1i. It is one awesome machine. The specs are all on the higher side. This machine strikes a balance between PDAs and an entertainment phone. I check my mails, read blogs, do some basic googling, take snaps, watch videos, listen to music and the radio. Its just awesome!! I shall post snaps taken from my mobile in the following posts.
