8th Block. Dosa was too [...]

My Samsung X600 was declared dead yesterday. I had taken it to the service center for what I thought was a routine battery change. However, it turned out that there was considerable water-logging in the phone and the circuits were FUBAR. The guy at the service center said that nothing can be done to save [...]

Unlike what all of you might think, all is not well with me. Having some major ?domestic? problems, essentially differences in opinion with parents. After a minor (IMHO) faux pas earlier this morning, mom hasn?t stopped ranting about how I?ve brought shame to the whole family and stuff. And how there can be no one [...]
