The heck kinda name is Bhanu for a doctor? When you hear Dr. Ahuja, or Dr. Tandon, it sounds correct.

Bhanu sounds like a pimp.

I’ve sent one e-mail, one SMS and two Facebook messages since morning. Haven’t got a reply to any of them. Not a good day, this one.

via Echofon

I send a message and not call you because it’s easier to not get a reply than not hear your voice.

Why doesn’t @tumblr show a blog’s icon as the icon for the feed as well?

More you do things, more ideas you get. But I think it takes a whole different level of creativity to think of ideas without doing anything.

On a related note, #Inception had Christopher Nolan written all over it. All over.

Saw #Inception today. Friends and I came back making “must go deeper” jokes the whole way.

@hyperous It’s definitely a good movie, but it could’ve done without the songs.

Wonder how many people are watching “3 Idiots” tonight. I started watching it, and then stopped at the first song. #hatessongsinmovies
