@ytvinay Awesome! Have a beer or two on my behalf and bring back amazing photos from that dream destination.
50% of calls overheard on the commute are cases of IT troubleshooting. The rest are pleas of forgiveness to girlfriends/wives.
Beers with @toor_sunny at Hard Rock Café has me all nostalgic about Melbourne.

@rasagy Thanks Rasagy!
Refreshing, candid take on the @IndianGP formula1.com…4/11967.html[+]
Little surprised this was published on F1.com
I’ve been sharing photos on Instagram for a few months now. Collated few of my favs: prateekrungt…/instagraphy[+]
[Incase you missed it last week]
@lokallobaat @souvikdg @vrinda_m Salt in wound and stuff.
@rungtaakki Wise move.
@aral Re-consider that copy. twitter.com/…567673405441[+]
Language phonetics by @lokallobaat:
Bengali :: Rasogulla in mouth.
Thet Punjabi :: Gargling.
Now getting a head-to-foot shakedown on the Punjab Roadways bus back to Delhi. With Messrs. @lokallobaat and @wateva.
Amritsar was: Harmandir Sahib. Clean, wide, orderly. Afternoon siestas, midnight photography, 3am darshan. Humbling, peaceful, beautiful.
Amritsar was: Quenching. Lassi, kulfi, bunta, jalebi, juice, ice-cream and lots of paani.
Amritsar was: Kulchians. Hot, spicy, delicious tandoori kulchas from Bhai Kulwant Singh.

@lokallobaat No way dude. This only makes it better!

@rungtaakki Did you fall down OK this time? :P
@lokallobaat Well, now you do. The Instagram folks opened up their API only a month or two ago, so these apps are all quite new.
@rakeshrach Thanks! That cover art photo is one of my all time favourites.
@umadamle “Raw mango” just doesn’t sound right. Kaccha aam FTW!
@umadamle Thanks! All shot with my trusty iPhone 3GS camera. prateekrungt…agraphy/info[+]
@xAbhishek Thanks! Took a 100 photos to get to volume 1, so it might be a while before the second volume.
My favourite Instagram shots, laid out on a single page. Didn’t want you non-iPhone folk to miss out.

@rashmiswamy So you did manage to do it all! Have a great trip.
@rashmiswamy Surely you can buy a mosquito repellent in Calicut?
Phew. Marathon session at work today.
@toor_sunny Crap, will be in Amritsar next Sunday. Which other days will you be in Delhi?
@oddysee Not only did they keep it clean, they made some great moves. Good times for F1.
@rakeshrach Agreed. Might go down as one of the classics.
No rain. No pile-ups. No real cock-ups. 1 retirement.
PURE RACING.
What a race this Chinese GP has been. This is why I love Formula 1.
@wateva You’re welcome!
@rakeshrach @xAbhishek No Sir, none.
Webmark blast-from-the-past: Programmers Don’t Like to Code, by Wolf @rentzsch. Actual post unfortunately no longer up. prateekrungt…/371.webmark[+]
@xAbhishek We derived it from the Sanskrit ‘ranj’, so unsure if ‘miranj’ itself has a meaning.
@Jason_Birch This one wasn’t. Got my cake, ate it and gloated much.
Tapbot finally presents a UI to use Twitter lists as native timelines and not just lists. Pity the app itself isn’t as fluid as Tweetie.

Just when I thought this stunted day couldn’t get any worse, @souvikdg informs me that I missed out on cake.
@5anket 21:30 – 23:30 hours IST.
Wednes-day-off: Paranthas were had from the paranthewalla near the Moolchand flyover (metro station, to be specific).
Would’ve totally applied for this if I wasn’t self-employed: Designer wanted at @Cleartrip jobs.hasgeek…n/view/5vp7u[+]
@umadamle Dang! Well, hope you get to do a real one soon.
@lokallobaat Vaguely related: you should watch Sofia Copolla’s The Virgin Suicides.
@umadamle Good stuff. Are those two identities being used by the businesses?
@rashmiswamy Look in the fridge!
@rashmiswamy Pizza! Chocolate! Momos! Cake! Kulfi!
@lokallobaat @souvikdg Bada bhola hai tu. stuffs pizza in mouth
@aroradush Thanks Dushyant!
@rakeshrach Wow. This is new to me, but now I recall you mentioning about these music gharanas that have continued over generations.
@BrahmiComputing Also of interest: NYTimes pits translation services against European languages. nytimes.com/…anslate.html[+]
@BrahmiComputing Google translate has that effect ;)
Unfortunately it’s also why I haven’t added a translate option to aksharein.co…nsliteration[+]
@umadamle Thanks! We’re just about to complete 2 months in the trenches. :)
@BrahmiComputing Try using Google Translate on Gulzar’s lyrics for the song Kaminey. It’s priceless.
Finally past the most unexpected hurdle of the journey so far. @miranjdesign now has a bank account. What a relief.
@rakeshrach Only just discovered Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. Any pointers to more of his great performances?

@rasagy Read about 9 Circuits in livemint.com…ourself.html[+]
@mansigrover A painter by night?!
Really like the ones in Warli style. The red one on canvas stands out in particular.
@simplyarun @anexasajoop I can vouch for that. Witnessed in person! :)
Naan ruined by bad, artificially flavoured mango kulfi from adjacent Bikaner Sweets Corner. Grumble.
Awesome Chur-Chur naan at Pardeep Corner with @lokallobaat @souvikdg and others.
Pradeep Corner @ Paharganj http://instagr.am/p/C-pMc/
About to start a @EOiD food walk in Paharganj. Jealous?
@Nandini_M @triggrin Yes please! Time is way too underrated.
Gem: QA is generally made up of programmer rejects. #ttw
Will be at @triggrin today. Come say hi if you’re around.
@rashmiswamy Has its moments, but a little early to talk about the sum of it all.
Somewhere: searching for the limits of minimalism in cinema—

Somewhere tonight.
@_karan Happy Birthday!
@dipench Thanks!

Ramachandra Guha: Experiments With Facts. A much needed response to the shameless brouhaha over the Mahatma. http://instapaper.com/zev94at2f[+]
@lokallobaat I’m with you on that one! :)
Only took 4+ months of market research, some crocodile wrestling and a regular dosage of expletives for @lokallobaat to buy his first DSLR.
@jackerhack How about a Delhi edition of @doctypehtml5?
@toor_sunny Assignments? What are those, kid?
The DTC has an “express” bus that services all stops on the route, just like a regular bus service.
@lokallobaat @PranavBakliwal He has a decent free version too. Used that for an year before finally upgrading to the $5 one. Worth it.
Super awesome post by currently-easy-to-hate @lokallobaat on just another weekend http://howimadeittowankhedeandmetdhoni.posterous.com/
@lokallobaat Bastard. Will never forgive you for that one.
@lut4rp @anexasajoop Try geni.com/[+] Managed to build my tree back up to 20 generations.
@anexasajoop Woah, badhai ho! We’re finally going to get that elusive kickass Indic typeface.
Hey, no pressure. :P
@dipench Sounds interesting. What sort of time frame are we talking here?
@pricelessjunk My thumb rule:
“We don’t make movies to make money. We make money to make more movies.” — Walt Disney
@pricelessjunk Nothing wrong with making money as long as you preserve the experience and the focus.
@pricelessjunk Don’t be hasty. If this is just the 1st ad offer, there’ll surely be more.

@souvikdg Me too! They’d actually replied in the afternoon itself.
Doubt there’s much they can do about this situation though.
.@souvikdg CERT-In just got back. They tell me that the culprit is indeed 174.127.82.168, though that is not an MTNL DNS server.

Can anyone using MTNL (or other Indian) DNS servers confirm malicious code being served as the Google Analytics script?
