Oktoberfest and November rain
Last month had been really cool for me. It was the festivities that that was the main attraction. Four days of grandeur and celebration that made the days the happiest days of the year. I enjoyed myself like hell. Went pandal hopping, spent some great time with my friends, spent some ‘quality’ time with my gf (now, probably you know the difference between gf and friends, among others 
), had some great foods, met relatives and such. You can check out the pics here in Flickr.
I watched two phat films, tho Bollywoodie, but were pretty cool. Both of them were comedies. I had also planned to watch one more but later called it off.
Yesterday, i read it on the newspaper that last month 15 were holidays and 16 were working days! That’s the place I call India! 
November Rain
Ya, the song’s pretty cool. But it’s true. It is raining here in November too. I have never seen it rained it in November in my 20 years of ‘tiny’ life. This is the first time. Maybe it’s because Global Warming. Whatever it may be, it’s not good here. Cause just a few days back the whole of WB witnessed some torrential rainfall. And now, if it rains again, it will be a lot of problems.
“Confessions of a…
…college Callgirl” is a great post.
I went there from Del.ico.us homepage, partly because i saw the tag “sex”, partly i was astounded how del.icio.us homepage can have such ‘porn’ stuf. But what i read there was heart-wrenching. We seldom know what happens to those “college students and single moms” desperately doing ‘that’. Do read this article.
Now, i am happy i went there.
Orkut Blogs
…’are’ great.
Now, you may be wondering why i used plural. Orkut has done a very
nice job by including feeds of blogs rather than adding thier own
version of blog which is Google’s Blogger. Since it’s still in beta,
they did a survey a few months back. They asked whether ‘we’ would like
a blog feature, somethin’ like mySpace. I voted for the option but i
was very skeptical. Because in past they disabled their pictorial scrap
feature only because they don’t want to waste their ‘donuts’ (read:
server space).
But they did some wonderful job by simply adding feeds to users’
homepage. It only needs a li’l bit of scripting to add these feeds to
your site. I guess they would love this feed thing more ‘coz they
recently acquired Feedburner. However, they have also started
scraps-with-pictures. This time too by adding HTMLs.
Now, since this blog is still in a nascent stage, I thought about
adding this to my Orkut profile. And seems like whoever is visiting is
from my Orkut a/c. 
And you are?

Wah Taj!
Tajmahal has taken the first place in the ‘new’ 7 wonders of the world. Oh, what a glory for us Indians! IMHO, it’s just a new dimension of India’s burdening population. To be very frank, do we really need a ‘new’ 7 wonders at all. basically, 7 wonders are chosen from the ancient times. And to be specific they are not really chosen they are 7 wonders because people talk about them. The 7 wonders are timeless masterpieces. If they are timeless, then why on earth we need to make a poll to decide who is in and who is not.
And a poll? A poll to decide who will be the next 7 wonders? Now, how far can you really rely on these polls? What happened was that some mobile operators took the opportunity and cashed in. It reminds me of Indian Idols (or American Idol). I dont know how one can really decide the ‘fate’ (?) of the world by just voting.
I made a comment at QT, one of my favourite blogs, on this regard. But someone told me that it’s not because of India’s population that made such a result. But tell you something, i remember the radio’s constant pleads or the newspapers’ advertisements to vote for the Taj. So we Indians voted for our Country and got such a result. It’s undeniable that Taj is beautiful. But we do not really need a poll to help her join the league. I guess the Egyptians did the right thing by confronting about the Giza pyramid’s candidature.
Whatever be it, enjoy them all!
