A Formula 1 Circuit in India!!

India is most probably hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix – The ‘Indian Grand Prix’ sometime in 2009 – 10! This is splendid news considering there are a lot of F1 fans who are waiting for exactly this thing to happen, After some false promises that the first circuit in India would be at Hyderabad, this time around, New Delhi is expected to get the track built in its soil! Lets hope for the best!!

I cant wait to watch my first Grand Prix from the stands! Guess you are as excited as I am!

Great song! Great video! Check it out for yourself!

One of the best songs I have ever heard from an Indian rock Band.Well picturised and drives home the point.

Stupid reservation policies.

Are we gonna ask the questions that scare me
are we gonna break the bonds of silence
will i find the truth in my reflection
will i see the meaning of my defiant

cuz there are words that must be said
and there are words that must be heard
and that they’re not as really quite absurd
and there’s a footstep in the clouds
and there is warmth in drops of rain
and there’s a meaning to the words i say

i need a voice now
come be my voice now
find me a voice now …. yeah
come be my voice now
give me that choice now
you be my voice now

Gmail Paper – he he he!

Check out Google‘s idea of an April Fool’s Joke. The home page proclaimed the launch of Gmail Paper - a new feature of Gmail, Gmail Paper, which supposedly allows users to print their email and have it sent to them, for free!! Well, I fell for it and I was left wondering how these guys are going to afford such services!! They also lied that they would be printing ads on the reverse of every email that was printed and that would offset their printing and shipping costs!

 Get fooled here. :-)

At your service

I started for work today morning, just like any other day and sat astride my bike. I pressed the electric starter but the engine just did not jump to life as it would in normal circumstances do. I tried kick starting it to get the same result but to no avail.

Then deciding to troubleshoot, I checked if the petrol flow was open, then I checked if there was any petrol in my tank and then when I saw my spark plug, I found out the reason for my bike not budging to start.

It was removed from its spot! There was no way that it would have come off during the course of my journey the previous day as I had parked my bike at 1:00 AM alongwith my friend the previous day.

There were some onlookers who were watching my antics. And one of them said that some idiotic element should have done this and I agreed, Then I started my bike after fixing my spark plug and started towards office and after riding for some distance, I wanted to make some move and tried to look if there was anyone close behind me on my rear-view mirror and to my surprise!! I found one of the rear view mirrors missing!!

Crazy punks!

thiya.blog has moved to the base website!

thiya.blog has moved to the root URL, thiya.net and will be accessible there now on. I have migrated the blogging application to WordPress and am in the process of porting all the old posts to WordPress.

Please continue to view my blog at thiya.net and I apologise for any inconvenience caused. This blog will be eventually replaced and removed and hence I request you to update your bookmarks too!

Thank you!!

Reboot! Whoot!

Finally, a fresh new start! I haven’t been updating my blog for quite a while and on some of the occasions when I did try to post something online, Blogger let me down.

Now, I have switched over to WordPress, one of the finest blogging platforms that I(or you) have seen! I found some themes too, which I feel look great and have switched over from the default one to others. Over the next few months, you may find me mixing and matching themes to find one that best suits my site. As for my previous blog that was powered by Blogger, I am waiting for the new Blogger importer which I am expecting in the next release of WordPress after which I can migrate all of my old posts to this current blog.

I am back and it never felt so good to be back!!
