Computer Rage

Hard disk crash is a common problem for many lately. A study has shown that apart from human error 'human rage' is becoming prominent. Take a look into what some people do in anger from placing a computer in a freezer to flushing in lavotory.

Happy Deepavali !

Diwali is one festival I always await eagerly. The festive season sets in with all the shopping and comes alive with areas like TNagar in Chennai. The Nalli and Kumaran along with the recent competitors Pothys and Chennai Silks suddenly holds the entire Chennai population. To maintain the tradition I went on a shopping spree only to find the shelfs of Jc Penny and Sears replete with winter-clothing. After a drill for 2hrs settled for a couple of skirts, the cost ofcourse being equivalent to a 'Pattu Pudavai' (Silk Saree) . I think its better for guys, always a pant and Shirt.

I never lost interest in crackers and will usually be the first to give a wake-up call in our area. This year felt it for a minute when my call to India went almost unheard with the burst of crackers in their surroundings.

Trump Fired

Finally its all over. Bush re-elected after a cliffhanger for few hours. While in India I never got so involved with the election issues. They are nicely pictured here with issue-based healthy debates. Thoughts back in India bring only memories of loud-speakers,cut-outs and diverted traffics, fingures pointed at other politicians on personal issues,Voters get generous gifts....to shift parties. Surprise is 35% of Americans too would change parties
for $ 500/.

Its not uncommon to see missing names in Indian voters list. US of America is no exception and the provisional ballots are becoming the deciders. Along with 150,000 voters of Ohio Donald Trump too had cast a provisional vote. In a city where a few buildings stands in his name, Trump was diverted to a couple of polling booths before he cast a provisional vote. An anticlimax just like his Apprentice?

Trump's advice - 'Never give-up'.
