Berkshire 400, KMi Phone

3/5 (minimum 1) on 04 Oct 2007
Well this is the recent model of phones provided by OU (KMi) on staff desks. The manufacturer is atl (access technologies). I still have a copy of the manual leaflet that came with it, on my desk so if any one misplaces it or needs it anytime, its always here.
It is a cute model and comes in graphite black color. Haven't used it yet accept a few phone calls received last week.
Please do leave a review if you find any problem in this set, so that rest of us take extra care in future and may be even notify our benevolent provider!

Nokia 6630

4/5 (minimum 1) on 04 Oct 2007
I know its a bit old model, but it is still my fav. bit bulky and not so slim and thin as new models are but good on grip and does the job! Never say no to the nokia 6630.

Life of Pi, by Yann Martel

4/5 (minimum 1) on 04 Oct 2007
If you haven't read this 2002 Man Booker Prise winner then you were never into reading fiction. Well, then why should you read this review? yes, this book can be the best thing to start with. Well, like many other folks at KMi, I rarely have time for such stuff but however I took this one in my last holidays and I finished it all the way during my journeys. It was a real entertainer! Just imagine, what if you were like the young character called 'Pi' who was left in left somewhere in the Atlantic in a bot with a zebra and a tiger....after an escape...

Victoria & Albert Museum (Asia section), South Kensington, London

3/5 (minimum 1) on 04 Oct 2007
During the last three years of my stay in London, I had made it a point to visit as many art museums (and as many times) as my schedules would let me to. Besides The National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square, I should say the next very important collection of historic artworks was definitely the Victoria and Albert Museum, (South Kensington, Cromwell Road).

It regularly hosts interesting and world-class collection of paintings, sculptures and also renown artists' collections. One of my best ever was Leonardo Da Vinci show at V&A museum (oct-nov, 2007). It was fAntastic! Generally the entry fee is also not more than £10-15 and they make sure you get it's worth.

It was a total revelation for me as I found a total section dedicated to Nepal. Among a very few entries like from India, Pakistan, Tibet, etc, that within just a lobby allocated for Asiatic collection, to find an entire wing populated by historic artifacts from Nepal really made me feel important.
However, the Nepalese collection at V&A were from around 12-14th century which is really not a museum's pride, since other British collections (Cambridge, etc) and American State Museums do collect popular Nepalese works from even earlier period.

Berrill Cafe, Open University, Milton Keynes

1/5 (minimum 1) on 04 Oct 2007
a Big yes to all of my preceding reviewers!
I generally bring my own food but I take time to scan through the menu whenever I can. Every time, I have told myself, "wow! I'm saved".
Another big disappointment is that there is not much of good stuff left until 1:30 to 2:00 PM. I have found my peers compromising generally when we are not able to have an early lunch.

Well, the Berill Cafe is not good-for-nothing type. The space and furniture IS very useful (am I being really rude to the cafe people now?). It's very useful at two occasions: The OU gatherings and also the KMi internal group lunch. Well otherwise OU and KMi both are really great places, just the Berill cafe Is a shame!
