What on earth is going on? News of companies suing each other is much more frequent these days than news of upcoming products and innovations.

Just wanted to let you all know offers have just been confirmed. The combined take home salary stands at 1.7L. A kind landlady has agreed to only 3 months deposit, @ Rs. 22,000 monthly for a 2BHK (semi furnished, Bandra). Happy mumbai-living to my buddies.

For a prospect friend of mine who is considering some job opportunities in Mumbai, I had the following questions. (Of course, exact costs will vary widely depending on the locality and the negotiations involved etc., but please state average/trending figures if you can). For a husband and...

Which 'fact' are you referring to? How did you come to this conclusion? Did you conduct a statistically sound (or even a ridiculously unsound) research across both populations? Or did you find any such surveys? Proof please, or what you've stated remains a piece of chauvinistic delusion...

Is that the sort of passive defense we Indians should comfort ourselves with, in order to deny our own nature? All my neighbors have a.nal warts, so if I have a.nal warts that's just fine, eh? At least the Western world (a term somewhat flawed) emphasizes a lot on personal freedom and space to...

Ignore the trains. I'm talking about the stations' design and the cleanliness. Can you list 5 reasons why such railway stations aren't in India yet? What could be the problems faced in building such elegant structures? And more importantly, in MAINTAINING them in their inception stages? The...

None for the next 5-6 months. I've travelled too much, and got way too fatigued! It's time to chillout and watch the downfall of Indian TV on ?UTV Bindass!

Not sure. The people who I deal with are well versed with English. Check if you can find anything in these two links, maybe there are some answers there. Mongolian Cyrillic alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mongolian writing systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ha ha, quite...

Hey Friends, returned from Ulaan Bataar last week. I also stayed in Finland (Tampere) for a while. We had a project phase and a training phase (wait! we trained :), we were not trainees!) Haven't posted anything for a long time, but I see my bro has been using my forum account regularly! It...

My first car! - 2nd hand Honda Civic - non-accidental, 29,000 KM's done - 1 minor dent near the rear wheel (with a scraped paint patch) - 1 speaker not working (loose connection) The minor repairs are costing me about 11k. All in all it was good deal (from a colleague). Hooray! :) (will post...
