The “iWoz”

January 5th, 2007 No comments

Raj Shekhar writes about iWoz, I had bought this book sometime back and have read a first three chapters till now but I read that at a stretch. This book is really worth reading religiously. People who have engineering background or a family background like that will definitely try to relate the beatifully nerrated story of Apple’s Founder Steve Wozniak. I will write more when I get a respite and and complete reading this book.

Night at the Museum: Saw Dick Van Dyke after a long time

December 31st, 2006 No comments

Dick Van Dyke - Night at the Museum
Today I went to watch Night at the Museum and to my surprise I found Dick Van Dyke in that, was really happy to see him in a movie after a long time and he really did dance like how he danced in Mary Poppins (1964) in the end of the movie. He is also giving his voice in Curious George (2006). Dick in Mary Poppins: Dick in Night at the Museum: Night at the Museum is a B+ according to me and worth watching at least once.

Dada we need you

November 30th, 2006 2 comments

Dada we badly need you. We remember your anger for not bowling in the block hole in the slog overs, we remember you shouting at a team member for not taking a catch. Our team is handicap without you. Today when our master blaster returned to the rest room for only a single buck we thought had there been our Dada he would have at least made others make a few more runs. Dada come back.

Sanjay Dutt: Who is Almighty, The Law or God

November 29th, 2006 6 comments

Sanjay Dutt
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 !!!

No Quota… No Quota…

May 22nd, 2006 25 comments

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.
