Bought a Samsung SyncMaster 2033(SW Plus 50 cm) 20" widescreen TFT LCD monitor after some (much?) deliberation at Anandit Infotech, S. P. Road for 7500/-. The 19" Samsung was 7100/- and the 22" was 9400/-. The monitor has VGA and DVI inputs.

The sketch shop at Eat Street

The small computerized sketch-and-frame guy near the entrance of Eat Street (off the Hussain Sagar lake, Necklace Road, Hyderabad) was quite frank when one of us wondered aloud about whether is was the rent that caused him to charge us what he was asking for. "My shop's rent is the cheapest in Eat Street", he says, "25,000". Given the size of that miserable square box, we exclaim about it. "I sell for about 1 Lakh a month". The other make-shift shops go for 35k and the actual eateries are rented out at 1.5 Lakh a month apparently. My friends and I walk out, the two sketch copies gotten at Rs. 250 a piece - 100/- for the print (down from the 150 he initially asked for) + 150/- for the frame.
