When I came down to bangalore back in September 2006, I had one and only goal during my house-hunt.  Find a place where I stay all alone… Have a place all to myself…  The reasons behind the thought were my experiences in staying with a group in Pune…

I was probably not very comfortable in the group-dynamics part of life… or so.. I thought… So, I then did get a room + terrace combo all for myself… and it was nice… alone, in total peace with myself, solitude, and all those sordid, sober words!!!

But over a period of time, ( 1.5 years actually, of having done nothing in my life other than the regular job of pumping out water from my room everytime the overhead storage tank overflowed and my room got flooded ), I decided that it was better I moved out of that forsaken place!!

And now, I’m back to living between a lot of noise :-D.  I have now shifted from C. V. Raman Nagar to Jayanagar, and moved into @daaku’s place where we are now 5 people.  That would mean a lot of noise wouldnt it???

Its gonna take time for me to get accustomed to so much of people around me… but yeah, life’s good!!! noisy and fun!!! And the best part, I get hot roti’s and sabji EVERYDAY for dinner!!! Which effectively means that I eat everyday!!!

The only trouble that I see is travelling on Inner ring road into Koramangala and onto Bannerghatta road.  Quite a painful ride… but hey, when u have Linkin Park giving you company, “It doesn’t even matter!”

Life is good!!! Life moves on…

P.S.: I felt compelled to write this post because I need to give the roomies credit for putting up with me

Catchup with life post…  Lotsa things… quick entries on all those!!!

Lots of things in the last 2 months… the most nerve wrecking thing being the loss of my mom… Something that none of us have been able to come out of…  It so happens that when someone shares a relationship with you thats deeper than being a friend, and suddenly, that person gets sucked out… the void is too hard to handle… neways life moves on… and so do have us…

The next topic of the post: the ever lovely and awesome BCB a.k.a. BarCampBangalore is back!!!  BCB-6 summer edition is happening on april 19th and 20th… The venue is IIM-Bangalore… Be there!!! I’ll be running around fixing up wifi for you peeps… Tats for sure…

The next most important topic of the post: Moto-dead… I’ve spoken about this for a very long time… And mentioned in my blog a couple of times too… This was bound to happen… Motorola Handsets Division being royally kicked out of the Motorola stable… atleast that’s how I choose to see it…

You cant be a blood-sucking leech in this age… you have to contribute or else you cease to exist.  I’d go by Motorola’s top brass’ move to do this… but it could have completely been averted.  They didn’t have to screw up. And screw up with so much perfection that nothing can correct it ever again…

Motorola is perhaps the only company thats been practising the jack of all trades in the mobile segment for quite a while. And guess what! It BACKFIRED!!! What else would you expect??? I may not be Trump but I can see through the lining to say that in today’s age where competing takes balls of steel, you had better not be playing around on the highway!!! You’d definitely get run over!!! Many a time..

And I’d say this with a lot of sadness that a Mobile giant simply went ahead and committed suicide!!! RIP Moto!!! The Razr was an awesome show… nothing else after that… Not one single mobile after that was even worth picking up and holding in my hands…

Coming to the next important topic, my conversation has actually changed places… Keeping in touch with poeple on twitter has become the in thing and the easiest thing in life now… A conversation, although asynchronous, is definitely conversation worth it when the whole discussion is available anywhere and althemore better when the participatory limits dont exist!

Twitter just takes chit-chat to the next level… The erstwhile Yahoo chat rooms concept with a bling from technology… converse from anywhere… anyhow…  Follow me on twitter to know more…

And there ends my hiatus…  Chao…
