10.6.0

Got the Snow Leopard Upgrade yesterday but was it ferocious! Upgrading through the interface was supposed to be a cakewalk, but what would you do if the DVD is ejected as soon as you put it in the drive?

Well, tried some really weird solutions like changing the internationalization language to simple one's like booting options. Even safe boot, remote install, image burning on another comp failed.

What actually worked was a simple Superdrive lens cleaner through a cleaning CD.

The disk mounted smoothly after that and the install took a little more than an hour. Feels good to see that around 10GB of HDD space was recovered :D .

Haven't really seen an overwhelming change in the look and feel yet. But then it's been just a couple of hours. Performance seems to have improved a bit in terms of speed of applications opening up.

Well, I'll let the leopard prowl silently on the snow for a while and watch the elegance ;-)

2 States

He's back and with a bang.
His latest novel is filled with the characteristic humour that one is used to; it is unputdownable; the characters are extremely real as always and one does gets engrossed completely once you start reading. Yes, Chetan Bhagat is back with his new story: '2 States-The story of my Marriage'
What's different is that, this time the protagonist is an extension of the hero from 5.someone (Another snippet of Chetan's life).
The story is so real that everyone of us would identify with it. You would have definitely seen those things happen to yourself or a friend or a relative for sure.
Chetan's youth oriented themes coated with reality makes the characters so likeable. I am sure, everyone of his books are compared to 5.someone which has become a benchmark of sorts and has inspired dozens of similar themed novels which all but failed to achieve that cult status. Chetan himself is no exception. People have trashed ON@TCC and 3-mistakes as below par, but loyal fans will love 2-states for sure. This one is a must read and recommended!
