What started off sometime ago as just filling out a large form for kicks … (it was quite a novelty back then and the term social networking was probably not coined) has become a huge phenomenon today. I never really went back to my orkut account for quite some time actually … probably a year [...]

I was surprised to see a pretty big article in the Indian Express talking about Google’s GDrive.

Dreams do come true … On the 16th of this month, we had our last day at college – which was sort of an unnecessary extension due to the ‘genius’ of some stupid people from my class. If life would be perfect, 13th would be the last day … but anyways … Having a LAN [...]
