I bought a Tata Docomo connection the day it was launched in Bangalore. And probably in India as well, which makes me one of the first few thousand customers of Docomo. On that day, there was no reason not to buy it and since I had an extra phone, I went ahead and put the [...]

I had just read Hello Bastar and once I had finished the book in a day, I wanted to know more. I got the reference to Satnam’s Jangalnama in Hello Bastar only and I decided to read this as well since I had hardly read a thing about the Maoists and what was happening in [...]

Till yesterday, I hardly knew a thing about the Maoist movement in India. Except for the number of Police men and people killed by them, and a few articles here and there which could only tell, at best, that the other side of story wasn’t being shown, something quite obvious. But then, while reading Rahul [...]

Petrol prices are up. So are fares of buses, and cabs, and autos. Well, bus fares have gone Rs 1 up on every ticket, be it Rs 3 or Rs 11. Not a very good ratio but still OK. Cabs have raised their fares too. And now the autowallahs also are trying to get the [...]
The new Rupee Symbol is launched, but then there is no rupee Symbol in the computers or anywhere else. Making this symbol is quite easy. But then how to make it on computer is a problem unsolved. Still, we have a way to make a picture of the symbol quite close to the original one [...]
Here is my own try on the picture of new Rupee Symbol approved by the Cabinet, I guess just that it needs to be a bit more curved at the middle.
When i was in school and we were asked to write essays on our favourite books i always wrote Mahabharata. There is a saying in Bengali :”Ja nei bharate, ta nei bharate” which means anything that did not find a place in the great epic, does not exist in India. Politics forms the crux of [...]
I just happened to see the schedule today, so felt like many more people might be looking for this. In Cricket WCT20, India is in Group C, with Afghanistan and South Africa, and both of India’s league matches are scheduled at 9:30 local time so that we can watch them at 7PM. Schedule: Sat, May [...]
What is the lowest price for a QWERTY phone in India? All I saw yet was in the range of 4-5k, the lowest being probably Rs 3220 by some FLY mobiles. But breaking all these records, Intex has come up with a QWERTY cellphone for Rs 2200. The Model, IN 2020 QT, is a dual [...]
Frankly, it’s not really a book review. It’s more of a love affair with a book which happens to be my hardly-known-to-me hero’s autobiography. Biddu was a name that I had read a lot of times, on a lot of tracks that I loved during the Indipop revolution of mid to late ’90s. And so, [...]

Bangalore, or Bengaluru now, is one of the best cities I have seen. But still there are things that need to be worked upon, in large measure. This time, I have some pictures of Mota Royal Arcade that speak for themselves. A mall at one of the best locations possible in Bangalore, provides you paid [...]
If you have some old, working but unused cellphones and you’re wondering what to do with it, do watch the new Aircel public service advertisement if you haven’t. Something I never thought of is there, and I think it’s a good idea, even if it may not be something huge. The idea is to donate [...]
