F1's back
and it's fantastic to be watching it live at 2am :)
It's different since Schumi's not around anymore but the race is good :) 51 laps to go before Ferrari get their first constructors points for this year and Kimi, his well deserved 10. He's always been the best in the line-up but never had the car to prove himself, he has it now and this is his chance...
Don't get me wrong, I love the Mercs but for their reliability - no debates there!
Who reckons Hamilton's gonna get on the podium today?

The end of an era!
Schumi's retiring today :( His last race in less than an hour's time... Ah, well, the racing world's never gonna be the same again, is it?
I've loved seeing him race since I can remember watching and following F1.
Will certainly be missing him next year - hope he wins today ;)

10/09/2006 - A very sad day indeed!
A teary eyed Schumi announced he's retiring from F1 racing at the end of this year :(
Having watched him race since years and break almost all the records in the book was a wonderful experience. I knew it was going to happen this year (as everyone did) but was secretly hoping for him to stay on for another year! Anyways, it's always good to go on a high rather than pass away on a low!
It would be very different next year. Yes, Kimi would be winning more races and my money's on him rather than Alonso who's joining Mercedes McLaren next year. Not because of their abilities but because of the cars they'd be driving. The Merc-McLaren is a great car; it's just that its not reliable enough for Alonso to exploit it to the limit without breaking it!
Kimi and Alonso both have a very different style of driving. I find Alonso pushing the car just a bit more harder than Kimi does and it would be interesting to see him drive in the Merc next year. He'd certainly have more reliability issues than Kimi did if they don't do something major to their car to be able to sustain Alonso's pace; and only then would 2007 get interesting.
Anyway, here's one to the great (est?) racing drivers of all time!
and yes, he's winning the drivers championship this year! hehehe

Aaagh! RSS, Atom, Blogger ..... and me
Aaagh! Would have pulled out my hair if I couldn't get this sorted!!!!
Want: I wanted to my blog entries to be updated dynamically on my homepage.
Process: Add the RSS feed for my blog onto the page.
But how could I?
Blogger does publish rss but it's got numerous errors.
I could get the feeds on the page but not the first feed. So, the only solution was to convert my atom feed into rss and get that feed to be displayed on the page.
I used feedburner for conversion but that had the same issues for days. Support did try to help but it was taking too much time for me to get this resolved.
So, I deleted the original feed and restarted the process and then tried to run both (atom and rss) feeds on the same page and figured out what was causing the problem.
Due to errors in the rss feed validation my aggregator kept on publishing the entries from Number 2 onwards and I just couldn't get the first entry to be displayed on the page.
I am now using the atom feed converted to rss and it's working fine.

The mood at Dorchester Court on July 22, 2006
The day was right; the mood was good and the fun began at 1900 hrs. nah! 7pm IST ;) on clocks set at BST.
We started at 01:00 am! with preliminary preperations which carried on to late afternoon after a brief period of rest overnite.
The first guest was Hardik Mehta followed and the rest soon followed.
The party started on a mellow mood with everybody greeting and mingling, starting with a swig of juice, doritos and Snacky snakes.. I mean snacks.
Went in to full swing when we opened the bottles and the very pricey! ;) (Hardik, Prince and Rajesh) DJ's chipped in with full BASS.
Free flowing Bacardis and Teachers following the Champagne helped the ocassion. Dance sessions saw the very best of Desi talent come to fore... all evidence captured in pictures.
Dinner was quickly devoured with very delicious desi home made delicacies; Gujju Dhokla, Bulchandani family special Shahi paneer, Punjabbi Cholle, Sindi special Sai-bhaji, Pulav and loads of garam garam puris.
The departures started with Vikas (yeah, I'm gonna quote you on this!!!!) excuse of not bringing the medication that had to be given to her daughter, the rest didn't have as imaginative excuses so had to stay on until the dates changed.
All in all, a great great evening with friends and family, looking forward to another one coming up soon as we couldn't fit all our friends in the first.
Guest list - one absentee that didn't make it!
Akash's family minus him
Hardik
Manoj - you've got some excuses mate!!!!
Mukesh with family (Prince)
Prince's family (Mukesh)
Rajesh & family
Shailendra's family
Sunil's family
Vikas' family

Click here for the fun fun photographs
Smashing party!!!! - Thanks to all who took the trouble to come around :))))))))))))))))
