Machiavellian Intelligence
The Machiavellian Intelligence hypothesis says that the brain evolved more for its social purpose, than for finding food and things like that. Incidentally, Google’s collection on evolution is as comprehensive as ever.

Tamil film songs and their raagas
I saw this page 5 years ago, and thought I’d lost it since then. It’s a list of tamil film songs and their raagas.
Try this: search for a song and listen online.
eBiquity
eBiquity has news on pervasive computing (which, as with most good things, started at Xerox.)
Yahoo add-ons
I’m fiddling around with Yahoo’s add-ons like guestbook, site stats, etc. Don’t be surprised to see wierd things popping up on my page.
I learn that girls can be very confusing
anand_m26blr: Hi Sonisha! How’re you?
sonisha_jd: hi
anand_m26blr: Where are you from?
sonisha_jd: adb
anand_m26blr: Sorry? ADB?
sonisha_jd: adilabad
sonisha_jd: a.p
anand_m26blr: Oh, I see. I’m right now in Mumbai.
anand_m26blr: Which chat room are you in?
The reason I asked this was because sonisha_jd wasn’t in the chat room I was in, and I was logged in invisibly. I have a theory on who sonisha_jd is, but that’s a different story.
sonisha_jd: will u mail me?
sonisha_jd: yahoo
anand_m26blr: Sure… but mail you what? I didn’t understand…
sonisha_jd: what?
anand_m26blr: You said “will you mail me?” — I didn’t get that part. You mean, keep in touch on e-mail? Or you want me to mail you right away?
sonisha_jd: u mail me
sonisha_jd: ok
anand_m26blr: OK, I’ll mail you. sonisha_jd@yahoo.com — right?
By this time, I’m confused enough to agree to anything.
sonisha_jd: ya
sonisha_jd: how u got it
That sounded like a condescending “How clever?” that I’ve heard before. Fuelled my suspicions on the identify of sonisha_jd.
anand_m26blr: How did I get what? Your e-mail ID? From your login…
anand_m26blr: Are you a student?
sonisha_jd: ya
sonisha_jd: u?
sonisha_jd: lazy bone!
Unprovoked and meaningless outburst. Again something I’m used to and have a theory about.
anand_m26blr: What? Who’s a lazy bone!?
sonisha_jd: ok bye mail me!
sonisha_jd: u
anand_m26blr: Hello?
Abrupt termination of conversation. Intruiging.
