Julia, Julie and college memories!

Today I saw this utterly useless movie, called Julia and Julie! The movie is slow, with not much happening. Its not downright humorous too. Thankfully with friends around I didn't have too bad a time...


But it told me two things -

a) I still remember my college - not IIM Cal but my engineering college like it all happened yesterday. -Just the mere mention of the title reminded me of a certain unforgettable memory that only those in our class could identify with! @Nandan/Ravi, if you are reading this - :-)

b) Also, I was getting a bit confused about whether to continue blogging or not. I feared getting too narcissistic almost.... But today's movie and the mention of blogging made me realise that I blog because I totally like to! So, who cares if I become narcissistic or not! Enjoy!!

At other things, life is getting extremely hectic. Beginner's luck at work is over and its getting hectic now.... Earlier this week, I had a total IIM Cal style attack of questions during a presentation! It was brilliant, bring it on folks :-)

Our relationship with sound - another amazing TED talk!

Sorry for bombarding you with another TED talk - but this one is excellent. It talks about how 'sound' has an effect on our day today lives.

Don't miss the end. The chirping reminded me of that place in east of India we fondly know as Joka :)

Client based connection through WiFi

Helpful information about "BBC NEWS | Technology | Wi-fi 'to get a whole lot easier'".

When you used wifi, have you ever wondered why the makers of the technology did not create mechanisms for two clients to connect using WiFi? Well, the WIFI alliance is solving that problem with this new product.

in reference to:

"The world of wi-fi is to become a whole lot easier thanks to a major technology upgrade, says an industry group.The Wi-Fi Alliance said it would soon finish work on a new specification called Wi-Fi Direct. It will let wi-fi devices like phones and laptops connect to one another without joining a traditional network."
