Help ! I need an iPad !
Yes, I really really need an Ipad. Why ? What do mean why ? I need it to be happy. Don’t you need things in life to be happy ? Why do you need that fancy watch around your wrist when your mobile perfectly shows you the same time ? Why do you need to go out and eat dinner in a fancy restaurant when you can just as well eat at home ? Why do need that large SUV when a tiny Suzuki can get you around ? You need happiness in life, you need things in life to be happy and the Ipad is just that thing for Apple lovers. Why do I love Apple ? I’m not answering that. That’s like asking why do most people love a BMW when it comes to cars. I need the iPad because it colors match my Macbook Pro. I need the iPad because its so cool. I need it because...
Tackling the Passport office in New Delhi
9.5 years after my passport was issued, it was time to get a fresh one so I spent 2 days to apply for one at the Regional Passport office located at Bhikaji Cama Place, New Delhi. Not only was I harassed, I felt betrayed, after paying so much taxes for so many years, why can’t I get decent service from the government ? They CLAIM to have a website that has all the information, https://passport.gov.in/delhi.html , to which I will refer to many times in this post as “the website”. Through this guide, I hope to help people who are planning to visit this office to be well prepared. Here are some steps you should follow :a. Before going to the passport office, take a leak. That’s right, take a leak. You will be there...
How do I donate ?
Most of us are financially stable or at least comfortable without knowing it. While our needs are met, we want more. This video on the value of Rs. 500 to different people is a good example of what I’m talking about. I have often wished to find a way to financially assist those in real need. However, the idea of contributing to an “NGO” or an agency that assists people in need has never appealed to me. For one, I don’t know what’s being done with my hard earned money. Next, their costs of operations are often bloated to cater to needs of management. Also, their integrity is in doubt. Have you found a good way of donating so that those in need and those for whom you intend it to be, really benefit from it ? Please reply here :...
Ecstasy !
Many years later, not only did i get to see our old family car, I got to drive it for the first time ! This 1946 Morris has been in our family for years now. It was purchased for $100 from an ex-royal of Rajasthan. When I was a little kid, the family used to go for an annual vacation to our ancestral home in Rajasthan. For many years, the car was there unused in the garage and one on such visit, probably when I was 10 , we went out for a drive in it. All I remember was pushing the car more than being driven in it !! Last week, I visited the house after 18 years for a wedding in the family. Not only was the car there, it had been fixed so that we could drive it ! It was sent to the garage for over a week to make the engine work. I did drive it ! Less than a...
Starting a blog now !
A lot of changes happening in the year 2010, hopefully for the good ! First off, I have one email address . In the past, I’ve always managed to be strangled with free email ID’s from yahoo, hotmail, in.com etc for various reasons. Its nice to be able to reduce the time required to manage the spam and lists in all of them and to know your own email ID explicitly. Next, I’ve finally booked a domain name for myself – anil.biz ! I’ve done if for so many people, companies organizations and entities that I never got around to getting one for myself. Another reason I could never decide on the domain name was unavailability of a short simple name meant for me. Now I need to plan what to do with it . WordPress or Drupal,...
