It's going to be year in December since i visited this 'wonderful' country. So with a bit of nostalgia and regret that New Years is not going to be celebrated there, here's a photo recount of that extraordinary trip....

Wii in India, Bangalore

yippeeee! it is finally out there... Reliance Digital in Bangalore has the Wii. Console + 1 Wii Remote costs Rs. 22,000/- Console comes preloaded/DVD with Wii Sports (golf, tennis, bowling, boxing & baseball) Nunchuk is not available yet.... updates: accessories kit is available for rs. 2400/- , lesser if you buy it along with the console. Two different kits actually. Kit has tennis racket, wheel, baseball bat, golf club ( i guess you'll have to use the same for putting too :) remote jackets, charging station & rechargeable batteries. btw i got my Wii from the US of A. Had to buy a step down adaptor to use it ( where else... SP road). Never had so much fun with a console. Tennis is extremely addictive. Am losing flab too ( i like to believe that's true) remember if you're getting the Wii from USA will play only NTSC games and from the UK will play PAL only. India is PAL. I believe a working soft mod is available....not willing to risk it yet

Spite!

Word Twist

i've always been enchanted with word games. facebook provides an easy outlet with the multitude of available games...one in particular 'word twist' has indeed been responsible for gutting valuable productive hours over the last few months :( while twisting and unscrambling and racing for victory over fellow enthusiasts i noticed that some words anagramized have a curious link to each other..could be just my over active imagination...listing a few here DIVERGE/GRIEVED SIGNAL/ALIGNS ALLURE/LAUREL PERISH/RESHIP CIRCLE/CLERIC MATING/TAMING AUCTION/CAUTION FIDGET/GIFTED me want to build facebook app too..on similar lines..anybody interested in helping me out? i even have name for it..it's called WordSmart (smart choice eh?) more connections RENEWS/RESEWN CRITIC/CITRIC SWEATS/WASTES
