    What Are We Doing To Our Kids?

    I'm also not proud to say this, but I too see that as an impressive achievement on your side, for I have not seen such success on my end.

    Private astrologer? Seriously? :O Buy lots of land and build a skateboarding park - bring the skateboarding culture to India. ...Or just sell booze. Maybe your astrologer wants some free booze?

    Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External HDD @ Rs6740

    I asked Aramex for the bill of entry and the guy responded promptly with a PDF of the scanned bill of entry records. The customs charges were Rs. 833 for my 2 HDDs. Interestingly, the guy just blindly attached a 8-page PDF in which my name and a lot of other peoples' names were present - with...

    Whaat! In 2012 and you're still facing problems? :( Was yours a super horrifying ankle-twist? I twisted my ankle last week by slipping and falling weirdly on my foot. I didn't go to a doctor and worked from home for 3 days. That first day was terrible, but 3 days later I was able to walk with a...

    PC Peripherals Is it worth getting a Belkin surge protector vs a local one?

    Hmm, it seems the one I ordered doesn't have individual switches. How useful are those, if at all?

    PC Peripherals Is it worth getting a Belkin surge protector vs a local one?

    Anchor, huh. Seems at a similar price point. Also, by some strange luck, it seems that FK has a 'deal of the day' going on today, specifically for Belkin surge protectors. And it seems that's why it's priced at Rs. 600, at 40% off. What luck :) I just went ahead and bought it. But feel free to...

    PC Peripherals Is it worth getting a Belkin surge protector vs a local one?

    I'm planning to get a 4-socket Belkin surge protector. Flipkart seems the cheapest at Rs. 600. Is it worth getting a Belkin? How would it compare against some cheaper local alternatives? Btw, is 600 fair for a 4-socket surge protector? Have you guys found it cheaper anywhere in your experience?

    Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External HDD @ Rs6740

    8.5k for one item? You sure? It was 6750 last time when it was $99. Is this the effect of the sliding Rupee?

    Just finished watching the latest BrBa. This, my friends, is what you call plot progression. Unlike Dexter... midway through final season and still going nowhere.

    Since British series are being mentioned in this discussion... have you folks seen 'Life on Mars'? I watched it last year and loved it. It's about a cop who has an accident, and when he wakes up, he finds himself in the 1970s. Anyway, I've acquired 'Sons of Anarchy', season 1. Will try it out...

    Sherlock was really awesome, imo. The second episode of both seasons were somewhat dull, but all the rest were crazy brilliant. Shame that there were only 3 episodes each season - even if they were long, mini-movie like. Eagerly awaiting the next season. I think they finished filming a couple of...

    Thanks for the feedback, Gaurav. I'm gonna remember your username and ask you more stuff later when I have more time. It's the burpees, man! My legs feel like lead weights after 10! Are these like market available or something? Is this that 'Soylent' thingy? Is it home-made or not? If not...
