When is 3G coming to India???

India Govt isn't thinking of the people that it is serving, when they go delaying the 3G spectrum auctions further and further, just with a aim to maximize their profits. But in the end, I guess everybody is loosing. The telco operators & handset manufacturers not having the cutting edge tech to serve the consumers and hence loosing revenue, the govt loosing on the taxes they would have gathered on the revenue, and the consumers are deprived of the facilities. What is the point? It just seems to me there is some family politics and money-exchanging-hands at the telecom ministry. (Can someone tell me when I will get 3G, so that I can have an excuse to change my 2-year-old phone (that still is in pretty good shape, and hence I can't dispose it off!) and get an Android phone!)

LGBT is fine, says India too!

Today, in an historic statement, Delhi High Court says that the draconian act 377 no more holds good in todays scenario. That is a little disturbing for me, cause now, Lesbians will also try to "patau" the beautiful girl that I am after, and I also may be approached by Gays. Well, I am just kidding. Fun apart, this really doesn't affect anything in my life, those who wanted to be LGBT (Lesbian - Gay - Bisexual - Transgender) are already following their passion (!) and I have got nothing to do with. And I believe, all the politicians, religious Gurus also stop shouting at the microphone that they do not approve this. Not really going to help them. Atleast, a couple of days before US independence day, India looks Independent.

I cycled to work today!

Ok, I am not the first one, neither the last one, just that it feels good, like good ol' college days, no rules, no helmet, cold breeze brushing past your face, ruffling your hair, making you feel like there are no strings attached! Of course saved 400 ml of petrol today, did very little pollution, but thats all "Dikhawa!". I love to cycle, and it was just a gesture of the same love. (I gotta cycle back to home too, and thats total 20KM for today!)

The dancemaster is no more!

This is a very unfair ending to the guy who started the moonwalking, not on space, but here on earth. Every teenager (including me when I was at the same stage of my life) who is a dance fanatic or a pop music lover, swears by his name. And whosoever boasts that he dances well, people just comment, "He thinks himself to be Michael Jackson ." Such a cold ending to the guy , is never fair. RIP, Jackson.

Hobbies

Just two weeks without work, and I feel bored (partly due to the fact that There is no more prison break, no more heroes, no more Big Bang theory!, a Dexter and Mythbusters). Thought of doing something in Android (The still shining Mobile OS from Google, though they say it is from the Open Handset Alliance ;) ) I also thought I will give shape to 2 of my long pending projects, FM jammer and cardapult. But man, it really needs lot more than thought to get things moving. As soon as I am assigned some work, I feel like "Man, can't they wait a little more time, so that I am done with what I want to do?" But the reality is, I am really not going to do, unless there is any motivation. I need some motivation. Is anybody listening???

Capability Vs Sychophancy

With the UPA coming back to centre again, there are a new breed of Ministers, with another handful of them trying to get hand on one. But then, it all depends on how well do you impress the High Command! One burning example is the MEA, Ministry of External Affairs. Any sane man would reccomend Shashi Tharoor for the job, as none befits the post better than him. But, as the High Command would please, the race was between Kapil Sibal and SM Krishna, and Krishna won! I don't deny that Krishna too does have the exposure to External Affairs, but he is not the best out there! I believe Tharoor is paying the price for not being an sychophant.

Sad, sad day for me

I don't watch cricket. Not like this! But man, if you stay with friends, you have to watch, thats compulsory. So yes, I had to watch the "Manoranjan ka Baap No 2". I supported Bangalore. And it lost, and they lost psychologically even before they lost it on real. I really don't think anybody on particular can be blamed, but I liked Symonds. The way he was sledging this Manish kid, awesome! Sad, sad day for me. Don't call to tease saying that we lost.
