Ninad Pradhan- Links

I visit, most often...

PhDComics: http://www.phdcomics.com

Hilarious parody on the ways of the hapless graduate student. This comic strip may be funny only to those in grad school, I think it's more of a 'you should be in it to empathise with it' kind of thing...

Yahoo News: http://news.yahoo.com

News from different press organisations collated on one site in order of most recent updates.

Launch on Yahoo: http://launch.yahoo.com

If your net connection supports streaming music, Launch has a great internet radio service where you can listen to and customise your own music station. One of the poster-boys of the digital world, according to me.

Daily Show by Jon Stewart: http://www.comedycentral.com
Jon Stewart and his team's pieces on the state of current US politics are a lesson in no-holds barred satire. The best part about his humour is that it carries a strong political message and asks the same questions that crop up in the minds of his audience, with biting sarcasm.

Homepages of friends

Yes, this is a very incomplete list of links. I have more than four friends. Please forward me your homepage addresses.

Vikram Iyengar:
My senior at CRCE and again, senior at Clemson. A friend, guide, and robotics enthusiast.
Kunal Shenoy:
My classmate at CRCE. Witty. Intelligent. Also much admired for his projects during undergraduation. Now at University of Colorado at Boulder.
Shripad Kulkarni:
My friend with many professions and interests and the ability to infect others around him with his energy and zest for all things in life. This site is about his photography. One of those people who commands a sense of respect for his deep insights and his versatility.
Rahul Saxena:
My schoolmate and again a classmate in engineering college. Anyone who knows him well enough will tell you that only slightly below his absent-minded-ish exterior lies a guy who thinks and can give an educated opinion on a vast range of topics. We alternately play troubled and trouble-shooter to one another. My source of sound and emphathetic advice.

Cricinfo: http://www.cricinfo.com
This site is pathetic when it gets too much traffic during the important matches. But it is there for us, who are far away from India, and cannot afford cable to watch the games live. Thanks to them for the live scoreboard, and this site conclusively proves that something is better than nothing when it comes to keeping in touch with cricket.
