As I finally begin writing this post after an hour of continuously staring at the monitor screen and the ceiling, there’s only one single thought that is gliding in my head.
“What do I write about ?”
I have been away from the blog for a really long time now. I know, I know, guilty as charged. But, I primarily blame myself not for being lazy, but because I had a few goals on my mind that I wanted to accomplish before I began writing again. One of them being a new theme for the blog. However, with [xubz] going offline till June 2008, I have given up my hopes for the theme now. [xubz] and me began working on the theme more than a month back, but, like every other project that has been initialized, this one never saw the doors.
As for the blog, I finally decided to use http://preshit.net instead of http://www.acchablog.com as the URL. I’ve been giving it a lot of thought lately. http://www.acchablog.com will simply redirect here.
My Nokia E50, something that I’ve always cherished, started feeling a little boring and useless, and so, I went ahead and bought myself the Apple iPhone 8GB. Nothing much to say except, “IT’s THE BEST FSCKING GADGET I HAVE EVER BOUGHT.” Unfortunately, I have no money left to purchase the MacBook now.
I started being even more active on twitter, and made quite a lot of new friends. Needless to say, the number of my online friends is thrice the number of my actual real-life friends. Come, follow me on twitter.
A few tweople ( twitter people ) decided to do a photodrive and check out the under construction Bandra-Worli sealink. So me, Brajeshwar, Kapil, Anupam, Asfaq and Aalaap set out to capture the project.

I attended the city’s third and my first ever Barcamp, the BCM3 at SOM, IIT-M at Powai. I was very excited to be attending the meet, but unfortunately, I had some stupid vivas on the same day in college and hence, I reached the venue at 3PM, when almost every session was done with. Nonetheless, I got to meet most of the twitter folks like @unitechy, @aalaap, @ceetee, @brajeshwar, @shadez, @aDeSe.

Additionally, the two legendary Macboys Milind and Aayush also attended the barcamp traveling all the way from Goa and Siliguri ( near Darjeeling ) respectively. It was indeed an honor to meet the two. We chatted quite a bit at the venue and Milind finally got to play with the iPhone, something that he’d wanted to do for a long time. We went on to spend the evening with one of Digit Mods Mehul at Inorbit Mall. Airhockey at TimeZone is even more fun than it looks.

Milind, the genius was so awestruck by the iPhone, that he went on to buy one for himself. The Macboy that he is, his actions went on to make Aayush too buy the iPhone. Mr. Genius bought the 16GB version.
So, there we were, 3 Macboys, 3 iPhones. It was Apple Mania overloaded. Awesome fun.
Since Aayush, was already on a tour, we all decided to head over to Goa, to Milind’s place. And of-course, as expected, the trip was Legen….. wait for it …… dary.
I’m finally settling back home now. My results will be out this week, so wish me luck for the same :)
Oh, another thing. Please replace the links on blogs from http://www.acchablog.com to http://preshit.net . Thanks
