I had the misfortune of watching your show on TV yesterday looking at a Bangalore firm deciding which one of the baffoons on your show to hire.
Now there may be some unfortunate men in our Hindi movies who are extremely well qualified – BA degree and all – but still see NO VACANCY boards flying around them at great speed. My sympathies are with them. But the morons that participate in your show… they have every right to remain unemployed. I wouldn’t mind you not filtering candidates before you take them on air, but at least teach them the answers before hand. Seriously.. it would do your show ratings a lot of good.
And the OPI people, I am amazed by how you found those nice things to say about the candidate you chose (or rather were forced to choose) at the end of the show. Keep hiring smart like this, and soon it will be time to fold your business.
It’s so hard to believe. I logged in to check my email this morning. Yahoo!. No email. Gmail. nothing. Office email. Nada. Not even cvs or vss checkins.
How is a guy supposed to feel?
(sigh) At least I don’t have a blackberry.

How much longer before Bangalore burns?

Its about time people realized. Nerds Make Better Lovers

This is so yesterday
John Abraham meets with an accident and is hospitalized. He will also be booked.
I don’t usually swear on my blog. That’s why I’ve never written anything about the horrible time I’ve had with the BSNL DataOne folks. But this one is at least funny.
Dataone has this absolutely great website where you can check your usage and such ilk. There are so many links there that make absolutely no sense. When you click on most of those links, you get oh-so-lame error messages.
The visible service does not exist.
I clicked on the help link, only to be presented with this pretty picture.

Update: Oops… I forgot to write about the Incompatible Explore.


Medha Patkar of the Narmada Bachao Andolan is one of the few people who still believes in the Gandhian non-violent resistance movement. Medha has been on a hunger strike for the last nine days now. Protesting against the recent government decision to raise the height of the dam (Sardar Sarovar Project) from 110 to 121 metres and rehabilitation of the 30,000 displaced people, Medha has embarked on an indefinite hunger strike. According to the protestors, the decision violates an earlier Supreme Court ruling to stop further construction until rehabilitation of the displaced families is complete.
Medha’s condition has been deteriorating continuously.
In surprising undemocratic haste, the Government has now arrested Medha Patkar in the middle of the night. She has been charged with attempted suicide.
The Guardian:
For a week Medha Patkar had lain on the pavement in 38C (100F) heat, surrounded by supporters and television cameras. But on Wednesday night hundreds of police officers arrested her and forcibly removed her to a hospital. Scores of supporters were rounded up and also arrested.
NavHind Times:
Significantly the representatives of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (UNCHR) on Wednesday expressed solidarity with Ms Patkar. Unfortunately this has happened at a time when the people are losing faith in non-violence and sympathising with Naxalites.

I’ll admit I’ve always wanted to use an indigenous template on this blog. Yet that’s something I never got down to doing. Until now. I’m not there yet, but I’ve started off. Somethings may be broken. But I hope to fix it as soon as possible. Don’t hate a work-in-progress blog. Please keep coming back.
Update: OK, so we’re making some progress. Readers, feedback please.
One would expect such an ominously named compressor – KGB Archiver – to compress a 430 MB MS Office .iso to, say, 1.4 MB. And that’s exactly what people claim it does! Of course the diggers see a conspiracy theory behind this.
