Here I am in Vishakapatnam, where thankfully the sounds of Diwali have not started so far… My laptop crashed the day I left Bombay, and took with it ten years of work and photography and music. No back ups – yes, I know… no back ups. An uneasy truce has been established now, most of the files have been recovered and the laptop is limping along till I get back to Bombay…
And here is wishing all of you a very happy Deepavali…
now, before anything else get a good 160/200gb passport harddrive, and schedule a backup of your work…
Have a good time… Take care…
A very happy diwali to you charu and to v. The laptop news sounds horrible .. but thankfully some data has been recovered.
I know the loss is difficult to make up for .. but start taking backups now please .. an external HD or something similar
Happy Deepavali, Charu. And wish your laptop a speedy recovery .

Happy Deepavali! If it’s any consolation I share your misfortune – sort of – my blog server (or rather the database) is grinding to a halt. 🙁
