@sushobhan Plus, I wouldn’t spell it like that. Phonetically, “naeka” is a better way to write it.
rachelbotsman “We systematically overestimate the value of access to information and underestimate the value of access to each other.” – @cshirky .
Suddenly, I need a Facebook account to have any kind of personalisation on the sites I visit.

Dumbleroar ~ http://t.co/6awHn0ni
What it’s like being outside the DotA 2 Beta ~ http://t.co/mdz4Kttj
Maybe SK can take us back to the Vampires we grew up reading. None of this new-age bullshit.
Sequel to “The Shining” in the works ~ http://t.co/6xmz9cdT
Made a few changes to my home page. Nothing drastic. ~ http://t.co/8QwwZu5S
Just realised Github uses famfamfam’s Silk iconset.
I envy those who can not think and just do.
Another long piece finished. Waiting on a photograph permission request to go through. Trying to do the right thing takes patience.
@codelust You have rich friends.
@codelust Eh … it’s expensive.
@codelust No; for obvious reasons.
Finished “The Cobra”. Don’t know if good book or just that I haven’t read one in a long time.
The reality check is strong with this one: Truth and Dare ~ http://t.co/iFowuNq5 by @jasonmesut
Yes the text when viewing my tweets individually is white. No it wasn’t intentional. Yes it’s kinda cool. No I don’t care.
“… as long as there are 2 people online, there’s always an asshole on the internet.”
In my free time, I try to drag my desktop off the screen as much as I can ~ http://t.co/gYWyN73y
O @Twitter, why do you randomly switch to my sidebar text colour when showing individual tweets? http://t.co/74aA6MIM
Is Ra.One supposed to sound like Raavan? Also, inb4 flop of the year.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/8lrynlE9 (this is hypnotising in a strange way)
Well played ~ http://t.co/sucJFlNk

@codelust I was 3/4th kidding, but it’s a little odd to think about a medium that gave us Facebook also helps us find peace in life.
Learning about Buddhism from the Internet. I can feel the eyes of a thousand buddhist teachers looking at me with disappointment.
@codelust me: sure, whenever you have time, let me know. Him: you’ll find him on LinkedIn. A direct phone call might be awkward.
@xAbhishek I think you cut Scott Pilgrim one star short. SPvtW is definitely a better movie than Delhi Belly.
@codelust On the 8th.
@codelust You really know how to get me to retweet things.
codelust So the iceman is making a return to #F1, by the looks of it. http://t.co/ySjUUgPo
Johnny English Reboot (3/5) — If you’re looking for some turn-my-brain-off sillyness, JER is awesome.
I think “cute as a button” gets the emotion across really well.
Not even Timeline is good enough to get me back to Facebook. http://t.co/I5hoK1IT
@codelust I doubt it. The article says where the name is derived from. Also, nerds aren’t very imaginative or big on clever hints.
This is awesome ~ http://t.co/b0gngKgJ
@dcurtis Why don’t you put it up on Github and let us do whatever we want with it?
O.M.G. http://t.co/E2WnADW5
@Naina Doesn’t take away from the fact that you want to be remembered.
How does Lion tell you an element is scrollable if it’s not in view at page load? It shows the scrollbar until it’s in view. #mindblown
Digging into people’s past, it’s like nobody who has lived for a significant period of time is clean.
Except maybe Räikkönen.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t even begin to imagine a young Mother Teresa.
Of course, it could also be that I didn’t bookmark the worthwhile stuff. Which is equally sad.
The whole summer has gone by and I haven’t read anything worthwhile. That sparkline is embarrassing: http://t.co/1kbR0szd
Everybody wants to know, but nobody wants to tell.
O dear. The strings are new; the guitar is about a year old. (!)
@codelust LOL I wish. It’s a PRS Singlecut SE.
New news! ~ http://t.co/Eh4qZNxx
Life needs a use-case.
“How should I know? I’m not a psychologist.” http://t.co/9nPlbCaQ
Like a boss: http://t.co/udPPyWB9 (last one for the day)
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/6lhrdtaw
Awesome (until you click) ~ http://t.co/OMXpi6A4
I need to make a /art for these, as well as learn to take better photos of them. ~ http://t.co/5j9aimqP
This is amazing ~ http://t.co/AjUIUGBy
What’s the Point of Saying Anything? ~ http://t.co/mda9X4Pd
@vimalg2 That you used 3 words to 1 says that you felt more, enough to warrant using 3 words instead of 1. “Sorry” is the lowest of all.
Hate. Absolutely hate the word “sorry”.
Ironically, it’s only the ones who interact that have had the potential to get blocked. Idiosyncrasies of life.
Figured out why randoms are getting blocked instead of the intended ones. Twitter Mac screwing up. Won’t happen again @codelust @Naina :|
A man walks into a bar ~ http://t.co/m8S1JfYZ
I like: Jonathan Ive on Design http://t.co/hTsz984B
@codelust eh, that’s not that bad. *This* otoh, is scary: http://t.co/LJClz5mz (make sure you’re signed in)
First thing people say when asked about their earthquake experience: “The room was shaking” …
Well, no shit sherlock.
@AceyTech Why do you have to do that? Chrome should auto update when a new stable is available …
Can manufactured on the 6th of June still uses the old logo? http://cl.ly/ADGh
“The dragon warrior said nothing, for his mouth was full.”
In a strange way, I think that if there are exceptions to everything, there would be situations where hypocrisy would be a good thing.
@codelust Guess you haven’t switched to Lion. UI controls appear and disappear; very confusing when you don’t know Chrome updated itself.
These automatic and invisible Chrome updates are kinda cool, but also kinda annoying.
Adolf Hitwhale ~ http://t.co/8ajEzMjl
You have to see stuff like this and wonder if we’ve been trolled all our childhood ~ http://t.co/ijZWo9Rx
Well, one thing led to another and I find myself here http://t.co/fPrm5Jbw
It’s a strange feeling seeing a meme being born.
@codelust I liked the Ducktales one more. It had a more adventurous feel to it.
@codelust Hehe, yeah. Memories!
I’ve been out of the music gear loop for a while, but man this look fun! http://t.co/JD0I5xZN
This is awesome (also potential song for the day) ~ http://t.co/o9Iry1KZ
I’ve managed to make my peace with the countless flats/weight loss spam texts, but now I’m getting pissed @vodafonein ~ http://cl.ly/ACQs
Notice how you figure out what to do without ever being told ~ http://t.co/03EK6xhv
And the flash rain leaves this behind ~ http://cl.ly/A9qT
Relationships, regardless of type, benefit one person over the other. If you feel a relationship is equal, then you’re the one benefiting.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/KzF7aR8o
Haters gonna hate. Vaders gonna vade.
Mozart on a glass harp ~ http://t.co/Pyfp3yt
Seinfeld got it ~ http://t.co/1pIogcu
@Naina Second one is not really mine though.
@Naina Yeah, it’s one of those oxymorons I came up with in high school that kinda stuck. That and “You’re unique, like everybody else.”
@Naina All generalizations are wrong.
A lot of the time, I don’t know if people honestly care or they just don’t want to burn their bridges.
@Naina Aaannnd you take it the wrong way. The point was, when do you know you’ve done your best? (Like *really* your best)
@Naina History is full of instances where ppl did their best, left the rest, then someone else came along and showed it could be done better
In Soviet Russia, carts push you ~ http://t.co/GNaNOSi
@Naina Priority list ;)
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/slYFwHz
@Reetesh We’ll be offering a lot more than just data from Twitter. *Lots* more.
My new (co-founded) project. Kinda ready to be revealed. ~ http://t.co/mYq5wTk
@ankurb Also, relevant: http://t.co/oo8Gw2G
@ankurb Riveting tale chap.
Heh, seriously though, well written.
@Naina yeah, neither did I until you completely disappeared from my timeline for a whole day. Good thing about following very few people.
@Naina looks like you got blocked along with some Indonesians :/ follow madi!
Our minds are programmed to be drawn towards the parts of a system that aren’t working right — whatever be the system or part. #1010
How to open a book ~ http://t.co/btX7CVj
@codelust What are you reading that on? Personally, I dread having to read anything that long on my computer.
@codelust That’s good then. Wasn’t really looking forward to all that exercise.
@codelust Not nibbling at it, definitely. I’m looking for a complete overhaul of how I approach life. This “be your own man” isn’t working.
@codelust If you mean with the yoga and stuff that comes along with it, then that will probably not happen anytime soon. I’ll write about it
@codelust IDK what you mean by “full tilt”, but I’m still looking into it. Trying to find good books to read in relative peace and decide.
Really warming up to the idea of buddhism as a legit way of life.
New discovery ~ This is a gem of a blog: http://t.co/4P6yQXl
Ages 14-19 should not exist.
Not seeing the big deal with “Olé”. It’s not very good.
Song for the day ~ One of my favorites from one of my favourites: http://t.co/g03k1I1
So this is what going apeshit literally looks like ~ http://t.co/CYRnxXH
@ankurb Heh, thanks!
Ignorance was bliss.
What’s been unignored, cannot be ignored.
@Naina some time* #grammarnazi
On 23 ~ http://t.co/ZUgAS3P
@Naina LOL on my phone I read that as “rude images” … I don’t know, I liked his stuff.
@codelust What’s the point of reading or retweeting stuff like that?
@ankurb Fred Durst eats you for lunch.
al3x “We accuse language of being too crude and too clumsy to adequately express our thoughts. But perhaps we flatter ourselves.”
TIL my MBP doesn’t support AirDrop. Thank you Apple for making me feel outdated.
Attaching things in Mail 5 locks the file so it can’t be deleted without quitting Mail.

@Naina The optimism is cute.
I like: I equate happiness with contentment … http://t.co/XlcKOKZ
This changes everything! http://t.co/QQp8WdH
@ankurb … what did I just see.
All that the world knows of problem solving is to throw money at things and hope something sticks.
@codelust Winamp is where it’s at.
At Dakshin. This is fast becoming my favourite place to eat.
@codelust Graci!

How MGS made me a better person ~ http://t.co/Mr9Hq1l #metaphorforlife
This made my day ~ http://t.co/fyVOAtu
@stealingsand Indeed; real life got a lot more interesting so haven’t had to look to Twitter. I do follow your cats on Instagram tho.
@stealingsand Hmm; the problem there is, not many people IRL know what ‘tl;dr’ really means.
I wonder if I could pull off the phrase “brb afk” in an offline conversation.
INDIA, Y U SO HOT?!
There is nothing that cannot be sucked at with a lack of practice. #triplenegativebitches
@codelust … o … “if” …
@codelust WHAT? WHERE?!
TIL that Singapore’s actual name is “Singapura” or Singh-pur or “Lion City” ~ http://t.co/m4ge71k #weareeverywhere
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/FW9GbSp
@ankurb So let them solve it? Not used to working in teams, are you?
APPLE, Y U NO LET ME TONE?!
@ankurb Next time change the status to “Could not replicate” and close it.
Song for the day ~ http://t.co/SgxP6HT
In ’11, if you’re not using a mail client (NOT a web interface), I hope your account is hit by every data loss mishap known to man.
@ap00rv Nope.
He thinks he can sing, more power to him. In fact, I appreciate the guts to put that up on YouTube. I could never do it.
@ap00rv … wtf …
Useless trivia for the day: “Laeja” means “tail” in Bengali.
