Why do Indians support the Aussies?? 0

Having seen so many Indian Cricket fans switch their support in the recently concluded World Cup…it just made me wonder – Should you support a team just because they are the favorites??
I guess it’s just one way of saving yourself the blushes…By supporting a winning team like Australia, you make sure that you don’t go [...]

A perfect finale to a bizarre World Cup! 2

If you saw the World Cup Final on Saturday, you probably know what I am talking about. It really was a fitting climax to what has been a boring and probably the worst organized World Cup ever in the history of Cricket…
You would say the bottom line is – Australia are still the champs…and I [...]

The chokers choke again! 1

So it’s official…South Africa have yet again ruined their chances of getting in to the final of a World Cup…let alone winning it…they MUST get over this habit of getting so close and choking themselves to death…this is costing them big time..I read that the team had a support staff of 12 people..assisting them at [...]

Do they have computers in heaven?? 1

A funny thought occured to me this morning…I guess I didn’t sleep very well or something…or maybe I am getting geekier by the day..lol…anyways I was wondering – what is the one thing that a technology addicted person would miss the most when he/she begins the heavenly journey…for someone like me….it has to be my [...]

And the war continues 1

It seems to be a never ending war between the two Operating System giants…here Apple takes on Microsoft Vista’s much hyped “Wow is now” ad campaign…

Apple at it’s cheeky best!!

On a side note..India’s popular singer – Sunidhi Chauhan was roped in by Microsoft India to sing Vista’s “Wow is now” jingle…now that’s impressive!

Virginia Tech massacre – who is to be blamed?? 0

It was a sad day today at Virginia Tech University. 31 lives (so far…) have been lost to an insane shooting spree at the university’s campus this morning…very sad indeed…
Now this statement would probably not go down well with a lot of people…but I am gonna say it nevertheless – I wasn’t as shocked…as most [...]

Master blaster ‘n’ his cake 0

If you’ve been following up the developments the last few days, you probably have an idea what I am talking about. Just to recap..A PIL has been filed saying Sachin Tendulkar cut a cake which had colours of the national flag on it….and by doing that he apparently has insulted the National flag…as also the [...]

Transferring wordpress site 1

I recently transferred this word press site(amitabhjotwani.com) to a new host. Although I knew it would involve transferring the database (Word press stores all the content in a database) as well as the actual files, I wasn’t quite sure how to go about it. So began my quest for an answer…and as is the norm…a [...]
