Now? He's been trailing since morning.

It's been fun to read Rupa Subramanya's twitter meltdown. Strongman blah blah failing economy blah blah institutions destroyed blah blah Oh it will be more fun this weekend - both her and Sanjay Jha (popular Congress spokesperson) are regular tennis players at a club I frequent. The majority of the...

looks like the "comyooonal" Gujjus and Marwaris holding their noses and voting for the SS has paid off!

BhairavP

Saar according to my taxiwalla and chaiwalla inputs from SoBo, Deora is heading for a narrow victory. We shall see. That is my chaiwallah info as well unfortunately. BJP will lose onlee :(( :(( SS actually. Not BJP, but your point stands. I'm hearing the opposite from the constituency - large scale...

Only against Priyanka Chaturvedi, since she is no longer with the Congress. Kem chho Bhairav bhai, haven't seen you in a while. Ekdum majaama :) . Been busy but good to catch up with BRF - been lurking the last 2 days. Eagerly looking forward to the results tomorrow.. I really want Milind Deora to ...

Absolutely. I got SHQ an rMBP, the first one, late 2012, and it is quite the beast.
Great laptop.

BhairavP

FYI Sony has stopped making vaio computers. Now only phones tablets and tvs etc . check their website sony Nope, they've hived them off to a PE firm. They will continue under the plain Vaio moniker. @Mort saar - around 4.5-5 hours. That isn't bad, and I have the sheet battery as well, doubles the r...

Meesa poor salaried employee onlee, a couple of outside sources of income included. Finished the ITR II on the 15th, uploaded, sent the form in, and got an acknowledgement via email and SMS that it has reached namma Bengaluru already.
Quite fast and no hassle.

BhairavP

The 13" Mac Book Pro Retina does not have as capable GPU. The difference is between Intel Iris and Intel Iris Pro. The Iris Pro is capable handling CAD software and graphics better which is decent even for most medium level gaming. If you go to the MBP Retina top-of-the-line it has a dedicated...

BhairavP

^Ditto. Right now, sedentary lifestyle, but I drink ~2L of water daily.

BhairavP

KJo, follow the posted plan. Don't just keep upping the distance monotonically. You are close but not there yet so focus on HM plan. Have you registered for a local HM yet? :twisted: I must confess, I still dhoti-shiver at the thought of an HM :(( and the last km of my 16K run was literally draggin...

BhairavP

Saar, make that Ishant at the other end..

BhairavP

I'm below the 25th percentile in that first graph.
Weight fluctuating between 72-74 kg,but a visit to the Woodside Burgers and Beer festival last night was not helpful

BhairavP

Got the Z2. Excellent phone, good battery life.

BhairavP

^Yep, didn't see the 64GB model on FK.
However, an intrepid seller on eBay.in is selling the 64GB Mi3 for 25500. NO warranty, of course.
Thinking of the Z2, will go over to the local phone store over lunch and check it out.

BhairavP

^Oh, there is plenty of water damage inside the phone. All through, scary amounts of whitish chlorine/sediment deposits inside. Singha saar - saw that. One issue though - I travel a lot, and need a phone with expandable memory and an extra battery - I have the Anker 5200mAh battery, which helps a lo...

BhairavP

One question to the maulanas hiyar - my Galaxy S4 went for an unfortunate swim with me, and now I need to replace the entire display unit. Fatka is of the order of 12k. What to do? Suck it up, or go for a new S5 / Xperia Z2? SHQ insists I just buy a new one, but this kanjoos baniya reasons that as t...

BhairavP

Warranty support, for one?

BhairavP

Mihir saar, some mild adjustment of curves and default sharpening.the lens is kick ass, didn't need to mess much. Will convert to black and white too, let's see how they turn out.

BhairavP

Xiaomi Mi-3 is available in the grey market for ~28k, 64 GB model.

BhairavP

^Oh, this phata abdul was cowering in the front of the Gypsy, while SHQ was standing up at the back going click-click-click.
Of course, I bent over for her benefit, so that she could get good shots.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it..

BhairavP

Some shots from Ranthambhore - D7100 + Nikon 70-200/2.8 VR. 6 tigers in 2 days - very very lucky! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3921/14395472853_46c6f69a61_b.jpg Sultan_3 by Bhairav2 , on Flickr https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2915/14395516183_ff42b44f9e_b.jpg Sultan_2 by Bhairav2 , on Flickr https:...

^Join the club! Had a good good night last night post a good 10k run in ~1:05. This despite our 2.5 year old falling asleep at 12:30 onlee :p

BhairavP

Ok saar, was just wondering

Meesa very happy with my Dell Venue 8 Pro - bang for the buck.

BhairavP

I read an article in the ET yesterday about Notion Ink coming out with a Wintel tablet this year for ~17-18k INR. Wonder if it will be any good.

BhairavP

^80-400 AF-D and 80-400 AF-S saar. Also, the new Tamron 150-600 VC for ~70k. Available in both N and C varieties.

D5100 has a better sensor, and flip-out LCD,which might be more convenient for you.

And the name used to be Arihant Exports, sacred to Jains, until forced to change via PIL to.... Arshiya! How secular on Lee...

BhairavP

^I'm sorry, but the BJP has categorically stated that NaMo is the only PM candidate from their party. Period.

BhairavP

Vinod Khanna's wife is related to my in-laws.. she is there and is quite confident of victory. Quite close to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as well.

BhairavP

^eBay IIRC, I think it was a Verizon model with unlocked world-GSM.

5Forty3 has a new post up. Overall, gives 60 out of 117 to the NDA on the 24th, with only 17 to the UPA.
40 to others.

So as I said, the voting percentage in Mumbai would exceed 50% -> latest reports say 55%.
Except for a few AAPtards, friends of the family here voted for the SS - Atriji, you will be glad to know this..

BhairavP

Numbers going up in Mumbai; should cross 50 percent.

BhairavP

Voted in South Mumbai - incredible rush, at our booth at least. Had to wait for 40 minutes to vote. Very well organised, calm, helpful police and staff. Older folk veering toward the Sena candidate to get Modi in to power, younger ones for the AAP or even NOTA. Milind Deora will have a tough fight h...

BhairavP

Atriji,thanks. Ten votes from immediate family guaranteed.
I miss Jaywantiben

BhairavP

Atriji,have lost hope for South Mumbai. Old timers including dad and his friends, committed diamond market and industrial players, put off by Arvind Sawant and his arrogance. Was very rude to some elderly folk at the candidate meetings. Milind Dora comes off as suave and business friendly in compari...
