Rock on - is it rocking?

Its probably one and half months since I posted something. I thought I would tweet to make up my absence in blogosphere, but that didn't happen either. But I was kind of forced to put on this post. There is yet another reality show, called Rock On, which aims to create a Desi band and send them to the MTV show in somewhere in US. The honourable judges are Mr. Ram Sampath, Mr Nikhil Chinappa and Mr Kailash Kher. Nikhil : Judges pagalpan (Craziness), says he doesn't know what is it, but would know if you have it! what crap! Ram : judges Music. Period. Kailash : Judges desipan. On a vanila day, the judges will speak something like this. Nikhil : Wow! That was ... Awesome! ... What was that shit? It didn't sound like music, it was all noise! This is not rock! (As if he member of some rock band since his birth!) Ram : (Trying to cover up Nikhil's blunders in judgement) That was full noise and it was great! I liked it! Then, like some high school history teacher Mr. X, you so...

Testimonials

Today, I just felt like going to orkut (Yeah, orkut isn't looking too good these days on my bookmarks, and I promised everyone I knew at college that I will be in touch in orkut! May be its time for a mass scrapping event!) and I read the testimonials, some old, few new, all still bristling with joy and still tell you what you are good at. they instill a new wave of freshness, a new belief in oneself. May be I am getting nostalgic. I don't feel like going to Facebook, probably think that it can't do to me what orkut has done. I need to go, I need to scrap everyone now!

Gadget mania!

I have been longing to buy something geeky for a long time now. My subconscience tells me to grab something, but then conscience tells me I have really got no use for it. I thought of buying a new 3G phone with GPS, but then thought that 3G isn't here yet (at least for my provider) and I need not waste money on a 3G phone now. On top of that, my 2 year old phone is still in very good shape! I also thought of getting hold of an Android phone (for a very different reason : to use it for a hobby development device), but then, those cell phones are too costly! 30K a pop! Thought of buying an PS3, but then, it has got nothing more than games. Anybody got any ideas? Help me! I will get maniac if these fever doesn't get over

Domain Name

When I renewed my domain name last month, little did I realize that I hardly use it, may be once a fortnight on average. On top that I got the domain for free last year, and it cost me Rs. 600 this year to renew. I just wanted to keep the domain name, though the name is something which will be surely frowned upon in a "Bhadraloka's " house.

Fan of GB!

I really liked the writing of Great Bong, whose blog link you will find on my bookmarks bar too, and now, I am a big fan of his twitts too! Cause 1st of all, he ain't twitt shit, last of all, he throws shit at shit! Love you GB! (I necessarily do not agree with many of his views, but yeah, he puts the facts quite nicely!)

The reality shows : Again!

Reality shows are in news again, contestant porn clips, Real marriage in a reel show, divulging owns inner most secrets, they are all over it. Well, I am not against it. I like the show "Sach ka Saamna", I see how people cope with nothing but the truth. I also get to see how the real Draupadi and/or Sita swayamvar could have been. I DIDN'T (yet) see the so called porn clip. Thank God, the Delhi HC didn't come down to Moral Policing when a PIL was filed against Sach Ka Saamna. I personally don't feel the Real/Reel marriage is going to go a long way. Whats your opinion?Do comment in.

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!)
