I believe Madhurima is a nice person and she had no intention of playing with our sentiments.

As a matuer person, I understand that with Chetan’s growing popularity and soon to be released [...]

Red Rocks! It Does!

by The Big K on August 28, 2008

I’ve always loved “Red”. I love it more than I love other colors. When CE was redesigned, people told me the color hurt their eyes. I refused to change.

Oh yes, and the color has been lucky for me so far. -The Big K-

Tell me your dreams

Problem with Indian Startups

by The Big K on August 22, 2008

I spent some time visiting home-pages of Indian startups. I also had a brief look at the services & products they are offering. As usual, I spotted some trouble with most of them. So here I go, listing my observations about Indian startups. The Copy Cats: Yeah, most of them are either copies of successful startups based in USA, Canada or Europe. 99% of them lack originality. I couldn’t find any difference between two ‘similar’ startups [I'm not mentioning the [...]

Proof : People are idiots!

by The Big K on August 22, 2008
