To Relaxation
Another day ends in KL. So relieved after finishing off my marathon sessions. Moderation and Speaking in front of industry veterans of average 25 yrs experience. So glad nothing went wrong!
Now I can relax and soak in the wonderful Golden Palm Tree Resort. Ahhhhhhhh.

Travel
At any given point of time, at least one of your hundred or so ‘friends’ on Facebook at visiting some awesome exotic location.

Terry Pratchett on Choice of Death →
The wonderful author was diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimers. And that was because he felt some symptoms. He has, it seems, decided to go ahead with ‘assisted suicide’ (see here) when the time comes. This is a beautiful piece about his thoughts and journey with Death so far.

The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

Some great photographs of Indian green cities - that living in the squalor of Mumbai I at least am surprised seeing. Even though I have seen Chandigarh and GAndhinagar enough no of times.
And then the Worlds Greenest Cities. Who says they have to be the less important less industrial cities when Melbourne, Portland and Yokohama could make it to the list!

I used to hate people who negotiated business deals with me with a little bit of arrogance and just that bit of … playful indulgence, because I was young and lesser experienced. Not that I am much better off now, but I find myself a little indulgent and extra firm when it comes to negotiating with someone of 2-3 years experience, and much more respectful when it comes to someone with 20...

Feed Integration Woes
Trying to connect my tumblr feed with my G Buzz feed. This one is also supposed to feed into my twitter feed, but that doesnt seem to be happening for some reason. :( Hope Buzz works out at least.
This has to be tried out. →

Back after a long time. Seems like a block on twitter and a memory though lifehacker actually worked : )
