Wedding photos – will come after honeymoon!
I know some of you are waiting for my wedding photos! I got married to Nikita last Saturday, and things have been very hectic. Meeting people, settling things down, and catching up on work. And now finishing work before we go to a two week honeymoon!
And then I sat to sort photos to upload! But I think it’s not going to finish so soon! I already have close to 800 photos to review and label! And then, will select the best 50 or so, and upload. (and yes, there will be the honeymoon lot when we return!)
Here are two for the time being!
This is right after we got married! The rituals were simple, and we did not even realize the wedding was done 
And this is from the reception.

I read an interesting post on How to negotiate with Indians by Tim Ferriss (the acclaimed author of The 4-Hour Workweek). I had a good giggle reading the 7 rules as I could relate to them, and even got some new insights – like make the demo guy sweat profusely, before you pick an item!
Good read!

Grab more contacts – ContactGrabber does 10 sites now
Attention: Contact Grabber is not actively maintained anymore. We recommend OpenInviter instead. OpenInviter supports more sites and is in active development.
The latest version of our GPL product ContactGrabber now allows you to fetch contacts from 10 different sites.
- AOL (new)
- LinkedIn (new)
- Lycos (new)
- IndiaTimes (new)
- Yahoo
- Orkut
- Gmail
- Rediff
- Hotmail
- Myspace
ContactGrabber allows you to retrieve the address book contact information from various sites. If you are developing a site and need your users to import their contacts from other sites, or recommend you to their contacts, this is a great solution!
ContactGrabber is developed in PHP and is released under GPL.
Note: As of now, Gmail has an issue with some email accounts. They are moving accounts from one server to another and that’s what is causing the problem. This should be corrected soon.
Download ContactGrabber from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/contactgrabber
The code has been contributed by Magnet’s Mumbai and Ahmedabad teams! Great work guys!
