With his mind in the clouds
Saurav Mohapatra crafts a beautiful short story which metaphorically portrays his reconciliation with his father over the course of a flight: The turbulence outside had ceased, but I seemed not to notice. The storm still raged in my mind. It raced with questions I had not even given the slightest pause for ponder in a very long time.

The recent launch of Google’s highly anticipated phone offering, the ‘ Google Nexus One ‘, has seen a fresh approach to the controversial process of payment plan termination. Customers wishing to end their plan prematurely will now be forced to pay the full difference in retail price, in relation to the subsidized price of the phone with Google’s partner provider company, T-Mobile.

Maybe, it might have not added more bitterness to the already dissolving ties.

Other folks at ZDNet have
