Indianomics!

If I had a Samsung Guru, I might have been able to trace the person who stole it! But no, I had a Motorola V3 Razor.

Worst of all, it got stolen in office environment. And since there is no other way to trace it than getting phone disable it using its IMEI Number. I use three phones and I carry them daily. I never had lost one till date even though I travel in trains carrying them. But I lost it at a palce where I believed to be the safest place.

Sob Sob!

Once I was having a lighter discussion with my mom when she revealed that she would have preffered a taller man to a same heighted or slightly tall. My dad is taller, but not much. During those days women hardly get to choose. Ever since, I am still trying to find out why women like taller men. When I say taller, it means taller atleast by 5′ taller.

Just because I really didnt had any mood to work today, I tried to do a small research (read: bird watching) on Shaadi.com. I saw a few beautiful girls there, but what surprised me here was that most of the good looking girls there had set parameters similar to what I described above. Height was important for them.

I am 5″3′ tall and am fair and when I looked at those women who share the same height as mine wanted someone who was 5″8′ tall. (continue reading…)

Going to a friends marriage was the reason that I was looking for skipping my office as I was tired big time. Wanted to get fresh and stay away from everything. But once back in office, its the same life. Stuck, I say.

So what I have here is a few pics I had taken from Ahmedabad trip. I took my camera out only when we visited the Science City there. Some of my favorites.

I have update some of the videos I had taken on the My Videos page at hemalshah.net

Hey folks, I have got myself a new toolbar. If you want to see it, just download one here…

It is just an Alpha release I will update it as and when I find time to work on it. In the mean while, please do let me know if you like to suggest some changes or additions. I would like if you use it.

You can set your location to get the weather updates in your area, you can search from the search bar, user links to get back to my blog etc. and RSS feeds from Hemal Shah’s Indianomics.

More to come!

I got hold of a pass for the Summer Funk, the dance show by students of Shiamak’s Dance Academy. And it did cost me a good 300 bucks, but was worth it. It was really awesome.

This dance show is organized so that students can get their taste of a stage show after learning the dance for the first time, and for the old timers it gives more experience. There are different categories under which performances were sorted and the one liked the most was the dance done by Victory Arts Foundation which is not – for – profit academy which teaches dance to those who are physically disabled.

When I saw deaf people dancing, I was taken aback. How in the world do they do it? And such coordination of steps left my mouth opened for minutes!  Though I had visited Summer Funk last year as well, this time it was different. It was 15th anniversary of Summer Funk and Shiamak himself was there.

Some funny events also did happen. Barclays had organized a lucky draw where two set of DVDs were to be awared and the winners choosen in the lucky draw were two Mehtas from the same family.  One mom, other was her child. The other prize went to Poonam Davar, Shiamak’s mom. She herself then nominated another women to be chosen as the lucky one than herself.

All in all, it was a great evening.
