- The Diwali time. Deep-fried oily snacks, deeper-fried oily food, randomly going off
firecrackers, crazy traffic of swarming shoppers - gotta love it.

- ISRO is at their electronic sling-shot tweaking the 'apogee' and 'perigee' of the tin-box, aiming for the moon. Good luck to them.

- My diwali appears to have started with a cracker of sorts. The IDE channel went bad on my computer. Taking with it the 250GB disk. Have yet to gather enough courage to figure what and how much data I've lost. No, it's not just movies and music.

- Now I'm writing this on a flashy new AMD Athlon with god knows how many hertz. The joy of building a new computer, cannot beat it. New colours, new cables, strange new sockets, badly written manuals, big fans and bigger heat-sinks.

- Couple of weeks back came in contact with a caterpillar and got poisoned, the suffering reminded me of measles . Sympathies accepted. Yes we all love moths and butterflies.

- Commonwealth Youth Games '08 opened yesterday with quite an entertaining show/ceremony. Saw a little of the boxing, table-tenis and weight-lifting matches on Doordarshan today for it's first day. India's already bagged some 4 medals.

- 'flash' rains have been bothering the last week or so, and now the weather's starting to get cooler.

- Submitted a possible icon for the beaver-project. This one's done in Tango-style.

- Stumbled over a decent blog-app agnostic HTML template for this blog at OSWD. This one's made by Anthony Yeung.
