    Kulbir, Thanks. Good show with the Shree Dev TTF. Expect to see more open source projects from you.

    Vipul, Thanks a lot man!

    Chaitanya, Thanks. Nice analogy of apples with selection of partners. Hope, you get your ‘apple’ soon :).

    Gopal, Thanks. Good collection of tidbits. Yahoo! started with bookmarks collection of David Filo and you should see a similar idea here.

    Sukesh, Thanks. Your posts on politics and general arguments suggest that you would do better as a manager.

    Deepti, Thanks. Nice recipe of friendship. But it looks like you have not blogged since long. Your friends must be willing to see your comeback.

    All IIITes, Welcome to bhOndOO’s adventures.
