----------------------

The finite world. Its not just about America!

----------------------

I am keeping it! =)

----------------------

Chai .. Garma Garam Chai!!!

----------------------

Steve Jobs's medical leave tests Apple's bench strength! I think its about time they show some depth in leadership and move on. In the mean time, Apple released its prestigious iPhone to Verizon.

----------------------

Go fetch that: Indian Premier League’s latest player auction raises eyebrows and controversies everywhere.

----------------------

Probably the most divisive political figure I've seen in my lifetime! Mayawati and Laloo Prasad take a bow. It's just sad! I hope that Mrs. Sarah Palin soon steps out of her FB/Twitter/Fox veil. It's about time Madam Half-Term Governor! Because people are getting tired. Its not about you all the time!

----------------------

Everyone is looking for a deal. Even when one's is buying a Jaguar!!! Now that's A-list service :)

----------------------

The Discovery of India!

----------------------

I don't know how much water this argument holds but the scary part is that I've played this game and I remember feeling "cold" as I strolled through the airport killing "people"!

----------------------

Come on Obama! Show some Cojones!!!

----------------------

Tragic! Kudos to Boston Globe to honor these men and women with utmost respect and beautifully. God Speed!!

----------------------

This is sad but brings a smile to your face. Oh the irony! And here’s the chief mascot of this war on logic showing how it’s done!

----------------------

The Socialist Network!

----------------------

There are no free lunches!

----------------------

Elementary, my dear Watson: Blizzard mystery solved ?!?

----------------------

What the hell ?!? I've wasted 10mins of my life everyday reading the wrong freaking Daily Yahoo Horoscope! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

----------------------

Beer me!

My Review of Year 2010

January 2010Sarah Palin starts at Fox News, Jay Leno replaces Conan O’Brien and Fareed Zakaria stands up for the coalition of reason. Meanwhile, 20% of Brits think Steve Jobs is a soccer player!!!

----------------------

February 2010:  Canada caps off a successful Winter Olympics at home with gold medal win over U.S. Men Hockey team, Avataar  & Hurt Locker rule Oscar nominations, FIA comes up with more aggressive point system for Formula One and Bill Gates explains energy innovation! As Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman discuss the new future of America, Jon Stewart exposes Fox News propaganda on Bill O’ Reilly! In the absurd, a shark-filled aquarium leaks in Dubai Mall. What the .. ?!?

----------------------

March 2010:  The most exciting Formula One season in years kicks off, Indian Premier League debuts on YouTube and an Amazing Race for rest of us. In the sign of times, Vikram Pandit takes Citigroup overseas as American politicians continue to remain in denial and showcase their hypocrisy over GM recalls! A photograph in reminiscence of a simpler time and amazing shots of two cities that truly never sleep.

----------------------

April 2010Mumbai Oberoi reopens grander than before and Nokia keeps trying to re-capture the smartphone market with the launch of the N8 “Swiss Army Knife” handset.

----------------------

May 2010President Obama visits the Big House and urges Michigan Graduates to maintain ‘civility’ and NYT captures a “Moment in Time”.

----------------------

June 2010:  The entire world tunes in as FIFA World Cup 2010 gets underway (Go Espana!!!). As the oil continues to pour from BP’s Gulf of Mexico blowout, Goldman Sachs takes important lessons from the financial crisis.

----------------------

July 2010:  Spain wins the World Cup and controversy erupts over a planned Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.

----------------------

August 2010:  Canon unveils the best point and shoot camera in the market, Jon Stewart connects Fox News to the "Ground Zero Mosque" and India & China in a show of might on the roof of the world! And in the very absurd, New York and New Jersey governors trade barbs over which state bears responsibility for the Snooki & other stars and antics on MTV’s “Jersey Shore. And FINALLY, India swoons over one of its most illustrious but yet most uncelebrated champion. He's definitely one of my top sporting heroes with Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid and Leander Paes. Go Vishy!

----------------------

September 2010:  India leads calls for action to stop Koran burning, Jon Stewart announces Rally to Restore Sanity and an innovative idea to see Manhattan (This is still due).

----------------------

October 2010:  The XIX Commonwealth Games begin in New Delhi, even some possible use of Karl Rove to help solar industry and calls to take it down a notch at the Rally to Restore Sanity!

----------------------

November 2010:  President Obama takes an expensive trip to India and the Decider returns.

----------------------

December 2010:  After 30 years, Times Square Rebirth is complete, WikiLeaks consume the world and President Obama gives an interview to Rolling Stone. The lame duck session of Congress turns out to be most productive with the passage of DADT, 9/11 responders bill and START treaty but only after some major push from the left as Republicans played politics and acted like freaking ingrates!

Quick look at the month gone by: Why Citigroup ?

Some of the interesting reads from around the Web for December 2010
The Decider Returns: I missed George W. Bush! He's pure comedy gold!!!
----------------------
Rebirth of Time Square.
----------------------
We are the addicts and they are the pushers!!
----------------------
Best point and shoot camera in the market!
----------------------
Looking forward to using all of them very soon!
----------------------
Obama in Command.
----------------------
For the geek in me! :)
----------------------
Its just sad that a late night comedy show using “fake news” sheds light on such an important issue and passionately follows it but the “real news” pundits are obsessed with daily life of Kardashian sisters and Snooki! And to further complement the idiocy of 24X7 news circus, Republicans play politics and Democrats act incompetent. I swear Republicans should be nailed for this and boo-ed every time they as much even utter 9/11! Freakin' ingrates!!!!
----------------------
Why Citigroup ? When an engineer from a top school hides his engineering background and aspires to work for "business" in a big bank, something is not right! Something has definitely gone wrong. Brilliant article about something I have been asking for years!
----------------------
EUREKA!!!
