Crane crash in Andheri
A crane of the Metro project toppled over, falling on the road and crushed an auto-rickshaw killing two people on the spot. I was at the Bhavan's A.H. Wadia High school, overlooking the complete crash site and had a clear view of the site. Part of the school compound wall was also broken by the crane's tip.

Joost is the new TV
I have tried Slingbox and I have tried Democracy TV. Joost is different. Community features, high quality programming, full screen smooth video. It's a joy, a pleasure. I was captivated for hours as I kept watching show after show with a numbed, retarded expression on my face. The PC is the TV now and I am loving it.
And did I mention how cool the interface is? Check out these screenshots:

Note: click on the images to see the full size. When was the last time you saw free streaming internet video of that resolution? It's a joy that even my Slingbox doesn't provide despite a 3MBPs connection at both ends thanks to the low upload bandwidth of ADSL.
Note 2: It's not yet open to general audience, you need an invite to get started.
