Injured, Samba the crow hopped about hoping to either get his wings going or find an appropriate tyre to end his misery. He had been hopping for over an hour, not that he had any idea how long it had been. To him, it just seemed like a complete waste of his time and energy. Especially when he should have been out collecting food for his newborn. And with dusk approaching, it seemed more and more unlikely that he would get any food for them tonight. Or that he would even make it.
How he had fallen into this predicament still remained a mystery to him. He was simply flying in a downward motion with the smoothness always evident of crows ready to pick up a large piece of roti. That would have fed the nest for a good three days. And he could have used that time for collecting some foliage . . . → Read More: Fighting through barriers

On the menu card at Good Luck, Pune: Tawa Kheema and Kheema in eggs.
In the “Kheema in Eggs” one, is there more Kheema or more eggs? The waiter at the restaurant answered, “One way or another, it’s the same thing!”
So there.
We ordered. Was great.
Also seen at the restaurant, a signboard declaring:
Don’t sit here without any work.

Both the instructions were on the same paper stuck between papers announcing Malai Kulfi for Rs 18 and other desserts on the menu (namely Caramel Custard, Caramel Pudding, Bread Pudding and Fruit Funny). We don’t think there’s any connection between the two instruction, but there could be. See, someone sitting without work is more liable to comb and/or brush hair thereby sending it into other people’s food. These old-time restaurants have it all figured out, I say.
Jus sayin’!
Speaking of desserts, we also asked . . . → Read More: Food, Pune and the Irani restaurant.

What factors can trigger the need for a change? I’ve been using a Blackberry 8900 for a year now. Lovely phone. Totally swear by it. Unfortunately, there have been issues syncing it. Earlier, with a Mac I used. And now again, with a Windows 7 computer I have.
To elaborate, the BB Sync doesn’t play well with Outlook in Win7. Some dll and fixmapi stuff I don’t care to learn about. So the question: what next?
Android is appealing. Just need to confirm if it works with Push mail. Can’t live without that now… or maybe (gasp!) Windows mobile? Hm. It’s possible.
HTC HD2… any thoughts?
