….Lipton PureLeaf Raspberry Tea. This stuff is truly delicious! I have never been a fan of tea–of any kind, until I was introduced to the green tea frappucino at Starbucks. My goodness, that stuff is good. Yeah, not much tea-like though! Then, I tried citrus-flavored green tea (also by Lipton), which is refreshing. However, the [...]

I have never been one of those crazy health freaks. I have laughed and ridiculed people who watch their calories everyday, drinking diet sodas, eating fat-free food and drinking fat-free milk. I love good, tasty food. Having grown up in India where almost all the vegetables you eat are organic and the milk was freshly [...]

It feels like it has been forever since I last blogged. Jagadish would definitely agree (I can almost hear him say, “That’s because it HAS been forever”). But here I am. It was a generally good weekend. I did a lot of clean up around the house. I may (or not) be moving, but I’ve [...]

I want to apologize for my behavior last night. I lose control of myself every time I get on the red Poltergust 4000. It pumps my adrenaline and I want to drive as fast as I can bumping into everything that comes in the way. I agree that I should not have dropped all [...]

Here I am again, blogging about Apple. What can I say? It warrants a blog!
A while ago I had posted about Apple’s excellent customer service. There is nothing like that to keep a customer going back again and again to the same retailer. This, I think, is a big part of what distinguishes Macs from [...]

After a long and hard week of work, weekends usually mean getting some rest and catching up with the rest of the world. Being grad students means working on the weekends sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be the same as a weekday, so we can take it easy. I actually like to start working [...]

I can’t say this enough, but life has been busy in the past couple of years. I am really ashamed to say that I haven’t had time to read any books other than textbooks, journals and papers. I love to read and I decided that I will spend at least one hour every day doing [...]
