Sollers is 1 month old !
11075 days
… and I almost forgot that !
I went to the admin interface and noticed that I started this blog on 26th January and put up my first post “Hello world” here !
Started this blog as one of my new year resolutions to get myself on the internet and finally on my 3rd attempt to do so, it looks to have settled now !
During this month I have managed gather approx 425 visits on my website (as of now), over 48 posts (including this) on this blog, classified in 10 categories and they use over 60 tags which, probably I did not anticipate when I created this blog.
Cheers & Happy 1st month birthday to Sollers !

Sorry for not being regular on the blog for a while, its been a busy time at work as well at home.
Some quick personal updates over the period,
- Got the delivery of my new mobile handset. Its been long wait but I am now convinced, worth it ! I posted few topics on my pursue of the new handset here & here ! So finally, I got my hands on it !
- Immediately flushed the ROM to upgrade it to the Dutty’s ROM (excellent work there by the way), available on his website.
- Applied the InvisibleShield to my mobile just to make it scratch proof so my new beauty wouldn’t get hurt !
- Installed quite a few applications from XDA-developers and just liking my new toy even more !
- Obviously enjoyed the match between United & Inter Milan where we played Inter off the park for most of the match. Did not actually expect that kind of performance from our side before it started, was a bit nervous I must admit. Quick thoughts on the match are here
I plan to take some time out at home today to post few more topics on career management, especially the way I perceive how you can manage your own progression and how you should plan for it !
Watch the space for more of this and thanks for your visit as usual !

I am honestly running blank on thoughts today. Monday, being a start of the week, probably did not allow me, so far, to think on what should I post here. Did too many things so far though .. had a P1 incident today on our site and had to be on the call with the ASG teams to see what was happening. Pretty weird incident and was happening intermittently, fortunately was RCA’ed to the database that was causing and throwing several errors that got cascaded to the front end and to the portal. Anyways, that was the business as usual at work.
Since last 2 hours, I have been following the Microsoft’s press conference on Engadget’s live blog. Pretty exciting stuff there but probably nothing that I was not expecting though. Usual stuff about the WinMo 6.5, My Phone and new phones coming on HTC & LG. I liked that and will keep an eye on that development !
Weekend was pretty OK and was better after Manchester United’s victory over Derby county. I was impressed by old horse Giggsy and the new kid Darren Gibson. Hopefully Gibbo will grow in the role that was played so effectively by midfield maestro Paul Scholes for so many years in United shirt. Rolando was at his fiery best and probably was right in celebrating it when he actually and legitimately scored his first (and United’s third) goal after break. I was kinda expecting that after the goal in the first half was ruled out for offside. Anyways, next round draw had been kind and I do not think the away trip to Swansea or Fulham will give goosebumps in any of United’s supporters as of now so I expect us to be in Semi final rather easily. … did I say that ? Ohh, keeping fingers crossed for this !
Also did take time to watch Inter – Milan derby though, probably a worthy win for Inter in that. They are our next opponents in the Champions league and one to keep watch will obviously be Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was rather good in yesterdays’ match. Inter did not cause much worry though to me as being our next opponents and I expect us to go through to next round and reach quarters.
Effects of recession are growing worse now and couple of my friends will leave for India next week and a week after so we would rather be a thin group of people left here in London ! Anyways.. hopefully good times will come back .. and please ! Soon !
