अब बताओ ये  क्या कनेक्शन है और मैं हिंदी में क्यूँ लिख रहा हूँ. नहीं ये बिंगो चिप्स की नई एड भी नहीं है. वो हुआ ऐसे की मैं हिंदी में न्यू इयर ग्रीटिंग टाइप करने का ट्राई कर रहा था और गूगल लिप्यंतरण (Transliteration) टूल एकदम मस्त लगा. और भाई लोगो गूगल लिप्यंतरण(Transliteration) और गूगल अनुवादक (Translator) दो अलग चीज़े है मुझे आज ही पता चला. आप लोगो की जानकारी के लिए भी बता दूं -  गूगल ट्रांसलेटर (Translator) का काम है अनुवाद करना मतलब की आप जो भी …

I am announcing my retirement today from active working life. I have spend quite a lot of my quality time and effort in building a retirement estate for my self. And now i feel like a chilling out and enjoying the fruit of my efforts well spend.
It was not an easy decision to quit. The ever lasting greed of earning more and more & never ending race to beat the world keep pulling me back to it. But then I set a target for my self and determined to stick …

Now when i am logging off as a product manager for makaan.com after two and a half year, i am tempted to peep into the past and relive some of the moments that i’ll cherish for life. My session with makaan begins with an email request (typical web 2.0 style) to aditya verma (business head & vp, makaan.com ) and i got the invite to join in the core team to build a real estate portal.

First day @ makaan                         My Laapy
We started out with a small team in a makeshift office in south extn before moving …

Now why have I got a new N95 without having a poll on facebook and asking for opinion on model on make. Couple of reasons, firstly I have done it very recently for my Nokia E63 and more importantly why would my friends spare time for it. But on second thought they might have its better than stupid facebook applications to find out what flower, color, actor, emotion, ghost. But that’s a different story… coming back to my N95.
This white beauty come with certain exclusive privileges. Just flaunt it and …

Like a typical middle class Indian neigbour I peeped into their home …

Just other day while checking mails on my Nokia E63, I noticed an invitation to a B’day bash of my dear friend Vivek Bhatia . I replied promptly for two reasons :
a)  I was too excited to meet old bunch of friends from Time of India after a really long time. 
b) Wanted to check , how does ‘send from my mobile device’ appears in my mail signature
So on the D day, we (me and wify) found ourselves the first one to turn out at Turquoise Cottage, Vasant Vihar as usual …

It has been now three days, and initial euphoria has died down. I feel this is a good time to write about my new possession a Nokia E63. 
There are three small stories behind my new mobile.
  – Deciding on the mobile
  – Moving from Touch screen to Keyboard based phone
  – Joy of learning
Deciding the mobile: This is the most difficult part of the complete process. My previous mobile, good old pal for close to 3 years was a Windows based iMate Jam (Now this model is discontinued). A …

This election season all the non-pappu population on country got their figure marked and proved that common men (no offence to all the women out there) has the ultimate say in democracy.
 
Today is the day for generation next to go out get the mark. I am proud of my nephew (Kavya), he voted for the right choice – Polio Drops.
