Inconsistent GMail interface

GMail has recently made a few changes to their 'standard interface'.They were pretty annoying at first, as I was used to the older interface. Some against which I have the biggest grudge are renaming of 'move to trash' option to 'delete'. This happened may be a month back. Now they've...

More Vidhana Soudha

Sunil has digitally altered the Vidhana Soudha picture I posted earlier. He's used The Gimp to remove people and a car. The Vidhana Soudha definitely looks better with this one. Nice touches, Sunil! This is a post from http://log.amitshah.net/, licensed CC BY-SA.

A. R. Rahman Live - Part III of III

There were about 80,000 tickets to be sold for the concert, there were just a few thousands out there though. The tickets were all funky, with bar codes and stuff. You could also call a particular number, where a barcode will be given to you on the phone via SMS....
