My new Digital Camera!! :D Its an Olympus SP500 UZ!

Hi Everyone!

Its time for another post, at a quick succession :) I got my new Digital camera!! Its an Olympus SP500 UZ. Well I got it 2 weeks ago, but just didn't get time to write anything here..... anyways, first take a look at the camera...







Its is a 6MP camera with 10x zoom and a super macro of 3cm with full manual controls...

Well, taking this one was my last minute decision and I must say that I was not very sure until I actually got it! I mean it is very unlike me to purchase something like this without doing proper research on it! I was all decided for Canon A710 IS. I had done a lot of research on it and it was in my budget too. Apart from this, I required a camera which I can take anywhere with me. So I decided for the canon one. But at the last moment, I asked the shopkeeper if he has something else in the same price range.. he showed me this cam! I can't believe I got so much in this priec range! I liked it the moment he showed it to me. Then I tried it out with some clicks in the shop itself. It is a nice cam.. and its an Olympus. They are known for good optics. So I decided ro take it.

Its not as portable as the canon one, but still, not too bulky to take it with me. I purchased a pouch for it from Case Logic which is pretty neat and not at all bulky! So I love my cam!! :D

I've been experimenting with the cam for 2 weeks now. You can have a glimpse of the pics I took in the "My Flickr Pictures" display in the side bar, click it to see all the pics in enlarged size. OR you can click the following link for the same:

Things we can learn from Dil Chahta Hai...

Things we can learn from Dil Chahta Hai .......

* Freaking out and enjoying life doesn't need drugs or cigarettes.
* There are relationships apart from bf/gf, marriage,siblings,friendship that canbe very emotional and true. which is beyond the understanding of manypeople.
* And yeah even though u may be the best of friends there is always a limitwhich should never be crossed. Then it starts hurting...........
* Improving ur imperfections after you realize it, always take some time.
* You always don't need to show or prove your gf/bf how much u love or care about her/him, which can sound very boring and finally u r dumped.
* Believe in Love , true love will never let you down
* Never be ashamed to go back to your old friends, friends are there tounderstand your mistakes.
* Do not be afraid of others, always think that others r afraid ofyou.(Australian Beggar )
* Whenever you need your friend , remember that he is just a phone callaway...distances can't separate friends
* In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silenceof our friends*It's the friends you can call up at 4 A. M. that matter.
* The only unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
* The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with -never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversations you've ever had.

Whole lotta things!!

Wow!! This entry was getting OVERDUE!!! A lot of things have happened! My weekends were great!! On last weekend I went to my Mama’s place (the other mama). Then on the day of Dussehra, I went out with one of my friend for a movie. We saw Pyar Ke Side Effects. It was hilarious!!!!! Hahahahahaha… we just laughed and laughed. And you know what?? Sanjay Dutt was supposd to come to that theatre too!! It was 2nd October (Gandhi Jayanti). So yes, munnabhai had to be there to promote his film. All the news channels, media people were to cover it. It was nie to walk in to the theatre with all the media persons around!!! Hehehehe. But as ‘munnabhai’ was taking a lot of time to arrive and fact being that I didn’t want to miss the movie, we didn’t wait for him and went in. After we cam out of the movie, munnabhai had still not arrived!!! Hahaha… so we moved on to the mall next to this one.

Now here we saw another celebrity!! He’s a TV actor and married to an actress!! Both are VERY popular in TV. Okay, so the actor is Apoorv Agnihotri (Armaan of Jassi Fame) and his wife Shilpa Saklani (Ganga of Kabhi Saas bhi…. )

We were just walking in the mall when someone just went hitting my shoulder. I didn’t see who he was. My friend said, “do you know who went hitting you shoulder??” and I was like, noo. Then he told me to just turn and look around. I saw both of them with some of their friends who are TV actors too!! Shilpa Saklani was absolutely gorgeous!!!! Hehehe… hum nahn sudhrenge hahaha :P Just kidding (about nahin sudhrenge not about her looking gorgeous! Haha)

So yes that was the last weekend… This weekend I went to see Khosla ka Ghosla. It was quiet a weird movie. The real story of a common middle class family. I could relate that to soo many cases within my family!! But anyways it was ok.

And then I got my 200GB Hard Drive!!!!!! Man!!! I have a LOT of space now!!! Haha… I love it! So I spent a lot of time partitioning it and transferring data.

Now I’m excited to get back home!!! I’m going for Diwali!! I know its donna be great!! And I’m excited!! You can see that by the number of exclamation marks I’ve used in this paragraph! Hahahaha…

I guess its getting quiet a lot now! Will write some more about Diwali and why I love it sometime later. Have to go now to sleep!! Office jaana hai kal!

Seeya.. byee!! :)




Silly Us...... hahahahaha :)

You people wont believe what happened... hahahaha. After opening up that Mac, its keyboard and mouse stopped working. Although we knew that it was not a big thing... but we still didn't want to take things in our hands anymore (we already dared a lot) hehehe. So we issued a ticket for the IT department, the IT person came and he found out that..... the keyboard was disconnected from the USB extension cable... hahahahahaha. Can you believe that!! We never thought about the simplest solution of a cable getting disconnected... so anyways... its working perfectly now!!




Tech: Power Mac G4 Dual Core...!!!

This happened a few days back... :)

Hiiii, today in the office as usual we didn't have much work.... so me along with Vivek (who also finds a machine interesting from the inside :P) opened up a Power Mac G4. We were like getting mad clicking its pictures hahaha. And all my team mates were wondering what we were doing... :D But anyways, we had a lot of fun looking at it... and its a beauty... believe me.... and when it starts... its not less than a beast with a dual core processor and exellent graphics. Here are some pics of what we did.... enjoy if you find it interesting!!!!


How it opens up....




A Dual Core 'beast' beneath this processor....... :)
