TataSky+ HD DTH
25 Dec 2011Choosing a DTH provider in India is tougher than choosing a spouse. I have had a Full HD 32″ LCD TV for a year but I was still running on the old cable connection. Finally I thought it’s time to move on. Main lure was the presence of HD channels. Lots of channels are now [...]
So you are a programmer, work whole day in front of a computer, do your shopping online, pay your bills online and file your IT return online and so you thought you will also be able to renew your passport online? Ha ha ha come back to the real world dumbass! You think you are [...]
Eye donation and useful tips to protect the eyes
In: India|Inspirational|Mumbai
18 Oct 2011I am part of Mumbai Freethinkers, Mumbai chapter of Nirmukta an organisation that promotes scientific thinking and rationality in India. We had organised an eye donation camp on Sunday 16 October and Dr. Mayur Morekar, a fellow freethinker gave an awesome presentation about the benefits of eye donation and gave some useful tips for protecting [...]
Do Indians lack conscience?
In: India
18 Oct 2011I don’t know if this something unique to us Indians or this is a human nature. I haven’t been amongst any other group of people so I can only comment about us Indians. I find we Indians lack conscience. In our daily life we do so many things without thinking of others. We Indians go [...]
The real cost of Zero interest EMI on credit cards
In: India|Interesting
6 Aug 2011Many banks offer zero interest EMIs on credit card transactions. They apparently don’t charge any interest but only take a one time processing fee which looks to be very reasonable. Say you bought something for 6000 on a credit card and bank offers you an interest free option of paying it back in six months [...]
Fundamental problem with Indian IT industry
In: India|Programming
16 Apr 2011The biggest problem is that the people who write code at the root level just aren’t interested in programming. I run an IT services company so I know this by experience. People who come for interviews for the position of a programmer just aren’t interested in programming! That’s a big deal for me. A typical [...]
Who is Anna Hazare and what is LokPal bill?
11 Apr 2011Here I would try to answer some frequently asked questions about Anna Hazare and his hunger strike. 1. Who is Anna Hazare? Kisan Bapat Baburao Hazare is an ex-army man. Fought 1965 Indo-Pak War. Read more about him on Wikipedia 2. What’s so special about him? He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in Ahamad Nagar [...]
India won the Cricket World Cup last night and what followed that on the streets of Mumbai and rest of the country was just amazing. People of all strata just poured onto the roads. On bikes, cars, auto rickshaws, trucks, waving flags, shouting, dancing, cheering, high fiving!!! People were stopping cars and congratulating strangers, young [...]
Takeaway from the Ind-Aus match
25 Mar 2011Ponting’s century in the face of all the criticism that he has had to take in lately. Can not take away the fact that it was a brilliant innings on a testing track. Defiant Aussie nature – the way Lee was bleeding after that ball hit his eye, I thought he wouldn’t come back, but [...]
Why no revolution will take place in India?
In: India
3 Feb 2011Ever since Egypt has erupted, I have seen some Indians and some media people asking when will such a revolution take place in India keeping in light the scams of Kalmadi, Raja, Radia etc. Such a revolution (thankfully) will not happen in India. It’s because Indians are employed. Employed people have better things to do. [...]
