My brand new Macbook pro!

My first ever Apple! Me and my friend bought a Macbook pro each at the London Brent Cross Apple center today! The Macs really lovely as always

15.4" Display
2.16Ghz Intel core duo
1 GB RAM
100GB disk
Airport (w+ bluetooth), iSight cam blah..blah, everybody knows.

Well, thats it!

I've always loved business cards, I guess everyone does. Good looking business cards, for some strange reason, always gives me a sense of pride! Aspiration, maybe. Today a set of few hundred of my first ever business cards arrived. So cool, I am no more a kid, I've got my own business cards!



The card might look empty/plain, but I custom designed it. Plain white matt card with grey text. Simplicity rules!

Here's a very simple, but a stunning little gizmo which can be assembled in less than 30 minutes. I show you how to build a simple Infrared cam that can see-through certain materials and also has night vision capabilites! All you need is an old webcam/digital cam. (The process requires ripping open the cam and altering its lenses and all. So ONLY use an old cam or something). I've also included a few pics I shot with my modded Logitech Quick cam.

Here's the article:

On September 7th was Tithin's funeral. He was taken from his house to his Father's house, where the funeral was held. He was kept lying on the table for everyone to see. I could feel my heart break and sense lose. Alex, Rahul and all burst out crying. Tithin's father, who was sitting there still, burst into tears for the first time, when he saw us. Afterall, Tithin used to spen more time with us than his own family. Friend, friends, friends, that was all he had to talk about.

I still cant accept the fact that he is no more. I am totally unable to make myself believe that I wont ever see him. Death is real perplexing state. Who knows, he might be watching us all from high up there. Or maybe he's still with us, trying to talk to us. One day, we all will have to go there, to the peak. Sooner or later, you me, we all goto one place alone..

Today is September 6th, one of the worst days of my life. Today, my dearest of the dearest friend, Tithin passed away. After a year long struggle with blood cancer, he finally surrendered. God must be loving him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have called him so soon.

My dear friend, we studied together for eight years. We shared joy, sorrows, we had fun. We did a million pranks together. We quarrelled, we fought, life was so good. My dear boy, how much I had prayed for you, why did you decide to leave us so soon. You had a whole life to live and enjoy, why did you give up so fast. Your thoughts force a smile on my lips, but do you have any idea how much pain and sorrow I'm bearing inside me? Oh dear boy, why did you leave us so soon.

Your memories will last for ever dear Tithin.
Love, your dear friend - Kailash

Today I came across a drawing that I had done atleast three or four years ago. It is a sketch (pencil) of Princess Diana. I produced the drawing on the paper not from my mind, but using a published portrait as reference ! Anyway, here she is, Sweet Princess Diana

A little late here Actually, I went for 'Kungufu Hustle' the last Monday, 20th along with Azif and his cousin. He had come from Trivandrum for a couple of days, and yes, he wont be coming here anymore. Anyway, the movie was awesome. Lots of special effects. Two hours was worth it. Its not a sensational or a touching one, but no one can deny that its a good one. 50% of the movie is comedy and the rest is action. Stephen Chow starrs in the movie and he's the one who directed it too.

It was raining cats and dogs that day! The whole city was under water. All the roads were atleast one meter under water. Lucky that I had gone in my car..
