  • Quick Question: What do you want to see on TheAnand?

    I have been a lazy blogger for most part of this year for some reason. While initially it was due to work and getting the basics up at ayruz, these days its more like a loss of purpose in blogging life. The traffic to this blog has been fairly stable at 40,000 pageviews a month…

  • Presenting TheAnand 2009

    I really have to get over this! Since the year I started on geocities, I would keep redesigning my web home every year. This year, I decided to get on a final makeover for at leastthe next 2-3 years. That is when I found the talent in this awesome designer – Ben Jacob. Of only…

  • 6 Time Management Tips for the Web Enthusiast

    I am a internet junkie if not anything else! Spending hours reading blogs (about 250 of them) lurking around forums and not to mention Social Networks and the links shared on Twitter, Facebook and Stumbleupon. This has led to serious time management issues ever since I started working on my startup. I finally decided to…

  • Sad: Geocities is shutting down

    I was kinda shocked to hear this when I first read it on a tweet link. Then I rushed over to Mashable to confirm the news. It sadly is for real. If you started off online in the 90s, you would have certainly heard/used geocities, the free hosting site with a really simple interface. Just…

    Sorry to dissapoint, but I am not dead! Initially it was all the work that kept me busy, then I got angry, sad, frustrated and everything else. Guess all the feelings I have been supressing for sometime now just had to surface. So, I spent the last month or so looking for answers, finding out…

  • Dell XPS M1330 comes home

    This post is pretty late considering the fact that the the laptop came home on July 4th 2008. I was pretty much locked on to the DELL when I wanted to choose a laptop and the only problem was choosing the model I wanted. With the help of their Sales dudes, I zeroed in to…

  • Blog Camp in Kerala

    BlogCamps are fun! Not that I have been to any. Judging from how the recent barcamp went, it seems that BlogCamp will be hell lot of fun! The concept of barcamps, meetups and unconferences are slowly catching pace in Kerala judging the crowd at the past 3 barcamps and junior barcamps. Funnily enough, my spell…
