Brindavan Garden, originally uploaded by abgpt.

Brindavan Garden (near Mysore in Karnataka, India) is amazingly awe-inspiring specially in the night. This photo is of the colourful fountains which are an integral part of the beautiful garden, taken at aperture f/5.6, 10 sec shutter speed and 6 mm focal length by my Canon S3 IS.

That’s me in YEP 2006, thanks to Sujoy for this photograph. Everything in the tag list of this post was there :). Really an Awesome Party.

In a country like India, Mera Bharat Mahan, who is almighty? Law or God. I remember when Sanjay Dutt had to go to jail in 1993 for 16 months, his father used to read Sundar kand of The Holy Ramayana almost daily just for his well being. Today, what happened, we all know. Sometimes I think that our Desh is run by the Courts only, is that true? The Judges found him guilty of possessing an AK 47 that time, judge Kode declared that he is not a terrorist but he had done a crime of doing a sin of keeping a banned weapon in his suitcase. Sunill Dutt is not alive to read The Sundar Kand any more for the well being of his son but not-a-terrorist Sanjay Dutt has been escaped from being ominous for his family. The Law (Indian so-called-by-me God) is working !!!

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?

If you ask me what do I want in the middle of my daily office work? What do you think would be my answer?

1) Singing “These are a few of my favorite things”?

2) Watching the whole “The Sound of Music”?

3) Pronouncing “rrrrrrruuummmmpunch”?

4) Listening to “Just you wait, ‘enry ‘iggins, just you wait!”?

5) Having a pizza on a WFH evening?

6) Finding an excuse to buy a new cell phone?

7) Watching video songs on VH1 all the saturday night?

Missing Dehradun a lot?

9) Catch a flight back to home?

Hurrrrrraaaay… Going to home…:)

HAPPY DIWALI… It’s really supercalifragilisticexpialidocious…

Linux powered Moto Ming (Motorola A1200) was launched in India two weeks back. It’s one of the latest Linux based Moto phones. Phone looks awesome and is too delicate to handle. After beeing in my hands for two weeks it has already got a few scratches :(. 2 MP camera, Smooth rubber coated body, translucent cover, bussiness card reader, touch screen and really great sound quality make this phone even more must to have. Ming in chinese means crystal clear and bright, this phone proves the meaning. J2ME applications are easily installable, and Yahoo! has promised to launch “Y! Go” for Motorola phones too.

Today I saw finance Minister P. Chidambaram on TV saying the reservation that is already applied at various sectors has revamped southern states of India in a great way over last 45 years. Did he count how many DESERVING aspirants’ aspiration is being sabotaged every year? At least I don’t think so. What I believe is everybody in present government is blind and can not decipher what’s really going on. Why there are thousands of students, professionals, workers, homemakers, children, senior citizens are on the road these days protesting against the quota policy. This dirty politics is overshadowing the great Indian economical growth which is on it’s way. Now the reasons of Indian brain drain are quite obvious to understand. The controversial reservation policy is going to eat India’s best talent.
