Kanchan Gupta a former PMO official has written a story for The Pioneer and it is bleeding the truth about Dec 25, 1999 when world’s Biggest Democracy became a frenzy of headless chickens.

Could the Kandahar episode have ended any other way? Were an Indian aircraft to be hijacked again, would we respond any differently? Not really. As a nation we do not have the guts to stand up to terrorism. We cannot take hits and suffer casualties. We start counting our dead even before a battle has been won or lost. We make a great show of honouring those who die on the battlefield and lionise brave hearts of history, but we do not want our children to follow in their footsteps.

Happy New Year to all. Have a great 2009.

I watched Ghajini last weekend, I desperately want to say it’s a crap, but a few things are stopping me from doing so…

1) I loved the filming, specially when Aamir runs behind Ghajini in narrow pass-throughs.
2) My 2 cents to Kalpana (Asin), she is better than Aamir at all places.
3) Something different after a long time.
4) 3.5 hrs, seems slow but is actually not, thought of leaving during intermission, but it’s not that bad.
5) Total Action, it’s actually remake of a Tamil movie.

One More Thing:

Asin was 3-yrs old when Aamir did QSQT!

I never took a look at any of the Live CDs, but today Ubuntu  Live CD helped me write this post. I don’t know what heppened to the OSs installed on my Lappy. Trying to figure that out.

Ubuntu Live CD Works.

I always thought, only AIR and a few private music broadcasting companies own the public radio channels in India but after reading this…

There are 11 FM Radio Stations in Bangalore and 12 in Delhi, can anybody believe that?

On the fine day of May 7th 2006, Kammo called me and said Punetha (Rajeev) is here, come to my place and we will enjoy, I said Okhhay Sire… I’ll be there by 6… and fortunately I reached his place by 6 exactly. Now Kam said let’s have a party… do you know Dwivedi’s number, I said yeah… I have it… lemme call him… then I called him and got him to our place within half an hour… that’s cool… now we thought why not call everybody who can come down and we will have a gala time… then we called each and everyone and then… believe me… everybody came over and we had a nice time… I, Kammo, Sid, Dev, Akhilesh, Honey, Anuj, Shanky, Punetha, Dwivedi, Madhur, Ashish and so many others had a really memorable and unprecedented party-cum-meet.
