an interesting observation when i resumed using my yhoo mailid, the
spam mails rose in number.
either - yhoo / recipient mailer does it :P
or someone sniffing in the mid?!
for the record - max 1 bulk email per month when i used to only 'check
email' (no sending out)
and now that i ve sent out a few mails, i get upto 5 a week!
[and, bccing to the publishing emailid doesnt work!]

winning is good. and it is good reason to be jubiliant, to party and the likes.
the local corporators (or wotever have been elected recently in Aundh,
Pune) too have reason to be happy - the ones who won that is.
their happiness knew no bounds, as they felt the need to 'address the
people' and have a (self-)congratulatory 'sohla' (marathi)
while that may still be accepted, their choice of location for the
public address was commendable.
two days ago, bang where the old DP road ends (into Bangalore bakery),
these chaps put up a stage and make loads of noise.
and make difficult, if not impossible, to move across a road that is:
1. thin
2. encroached
3. potholed
4. dim lit ? (not sure!)
etc.
and in doing this feat, i was capable. my rear tire wasnt, and hit a
few punctures.
[and now we are getting to the point!]
lucky we were to find this helpful chap, who locates 2 bubbly spots
and mends em. and then the third one.
time to pay up. and i happily show him a 20-er and ask 'kitna?'
the chap says 'ye to bees hain, lekin apna pachas hua'
i took a while to return to normalcy when i realised i had paid up,
and had started driving towards Medipoint. and thought.. when was the
last time i got a puncture repaired. and how much did it cost ?!
service industry rocks!

http://www.indiangyan.com/books/healthbooks/food_that_heal/curd.shtml - It has been estimated that regular milk is only 32 per cent digested after an hour in the digestive tract, whereas 91 per cent of curd is digested within the same period of time.
and a while later, this bbc report - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5122184.stm
and the sleeping story gets a bit serious now:
"Anyone who uses an alarm to get up hasn't accumulated as much sleep as his or her brain wants," says Mahowald. quoted from http://lifegetinit.fitdv.com/new/articles/article.html?artid=69
and http://www.siestaawareness.org/pages/siesta-facts.php says:
Studies show that there is a strong biological tendency for humans to become tired and possibly fall asleep in the early or mid afternoon as well as at night.
They [NASA] discovered that after a short nap there was a 34% improvement in performance and 54% in alertness
and, wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta has this
In Bangladesh and Indian Bengal, the word which describes the concept is bhat-ghum, literally meaning "rice-sleep" (nap after consuming rice).

funny how someone can fade out of your life so quickly.
this man managed such a feat in our ambh group. and this is one (of
very few, to be frank!) effort to reach to him.

in improving Q of reqmt gathering.
i can relate with one similar experience. we dint use tools, but were
quick on developing the prototype, and the entire 'requirement
gathering exercise' was much smoother, faster (if you consider that
there was hardly any rework) etc. must concede that the required
system was 'fairly simple', and hence the HLD etc wasnt a separately
earmarked phase etc. ¶ 10:55 AM 0 comments
