Indian government blocking all Blogspot blogs. Fricking ridiculous. Blogspot’s not working for me from office. Write to the President and get this scrapped asap!

To the assorted legions of my blog-readers ;-), a big sorry! In hindsight, I should have expected this big delay before I could post (since I chose not to chug my laptop along) – the problem of course, is that I don’t have a box at home. My Mac Mini (which I did choose to take along) stays at the office where it has a monitor, keyboard and mouse attached. [The lesson of course is that, despite being an incredible device, the Mac Mini can’t do what it’s not designed to. Ergo, BYODKM. But, as usual, I’m digressing.]

One word to encapsulate my Delhi experience. Eventful. Five words? A huge fricking learning experience :-). My to-do lists, (which I’ll post soon) should be illustrative, but I learnt a lot about the big L these past two weeks. It’s been nice too – have had no real horrible experience so far, and in general, I’ve really liked it.

Making good friends has always been a problem for me (because I’m a bit of an introvertish freak) but hopefully in time, I’ll make em. To counteract that however, I’m very happy being alone and I find lots of things to keep me occupied. Reading books – something that I couldn’t do much the last six months – is what I’ve been doing mostly. Five books in 2 weeks is pretty good :-). And yup, digging out movie festivals and going to em (detailed posts later). I gotta go now. But hopefully, I’ll get a monitor soon and things will be back to my usual erratic self.

Read Wired News’ This Is a Computer on Your Brain. I’m a big fan of augmented intelligence. Don’t think about cyborgs and so on, but rather the simple extension of the fact that computers are tools to improve human intelligence.

I’m working at the Uzanto Delhi office, don’t yet have a computer/internet at home, so detailed blogs about my experience will have to wait. Just a ping to let you guys know I’m having fun 🙂
