Couch Potato

I have been a couch potato this week and am not proud of it. Have been more loyal than any other fan of HBO/Star Movies/Zee Studio. Watched Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda, Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and Mona Lisa Smile and Runaway Bride. Add to this list the musical Little Shop of Horrors, the whimsical *batteries not included and the relatively unknown yet interesting The Best Man. And that's not all, have also been catching up on all my favourite sitcoms on Star World/Zee Cafe. Wonder if I've to sign up for a TV de-addiction seminar.

Cute Kiwi

Found this animated clip on YouTube and thought - what's wrong with spreading some cheer.

Pee-pee to the national anthem

Wonder what the Shiv Sainiks would have said to this

The Head-Banging Question

So the next time some guy in the U.S. loses his job to outsourcing, has he been Bangalored or Bengalurud?

How to scare your Mom

And I thought I was the master at this game

What if they do this in India

Plenty of anti-social elements in India anyway so one train defecator won't hurt.

Why it pays to be Chinese

Ya, commit a crime and get away with it. Am not saying he did it though.

Diwali Blues

There's something really depressing about going to office on Diwali. More so when you're the only guy in office barring the security guard snoring outside. But as the saying goes, you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you guys had more fun. Happy Diwali anyway.

Track your Pics

Came across this website called Tracking Shot that automates interesting montages with photos and music. Upload your favourite still pics and music and Voila! - an instant movie is ready.

Check out my first creation (that of my IIMC days) here. It took me just 5 minutes after the painstaking task of uploading selected pics.

It's not problem free - you cannot completely control the slideshow - and mine is obviously too fast. But then it's the thought that counts. Right?

As one classmate put it, the montage brought "tears into her eyes". I presume they were tears of joy at this blast from the past. Go ahead and try making your own movies with photos and music.
