Couple of days ago, I asked all of you to suggest topics you’d like me to write on. Superblog reader turn2me5 asked me to write about “the stupidity going around you and me”. I’m assuming he wants me to write about the marathi vs. non-marathi battels going on in Maharashtra and Bihar (and other north-Indian regions). I wrote about 20-25 lines on the topic expressing my views and a thought rather a question struck my mind. Its a basic question [...]

It has happened again. More bomb blasts in India. This time its Guwahati. About 11 bombs in 15 minutes. The news channels are discussing whether RDX or Ammonium Nitrate was used. Few news channels are discussing whether timers were used to trigger the bombs. The ministers are making politically correct statements. The CBI has been asked to carry out the investigations. A committee has been set up to do the analysis of the situation. Red alert has been announced in [...]
I remember when I was 16 – something; I used to go to our neighbour’s house for a daily session of ‘Vipasyana’. As far as I know, one of the basic principles of Vipasyana is self-control. For 30 minutes, all of us (attending the session) would try to concentrate on inhaling and exhaling because it was one effective way to keep your thoughts controlled. By control, I’m referring to keeping the mind empty of thoughts and not getting distracted by [...]

I’m a big fan of Mozilla’s Firefox browser. The browser does fantastic job of rendering complex web pages and its amazingly faster. But the inbult download manager is just pathetic! Yesterday, I tried downloading ubuntu iso from their official download site. The download worked fine until I had to pause. I paused the download, reconnected my broadband connection and woa! The download manager started downloading from byte 01 ! ! Whole 634 MB were wasted! Anyway, I believe its too [...]
News Source. First read this -> : Rahul Raj & Mumbai BEST Bus Firing I hope by now you must have seen the breaking news on all leading news channels. Rahul Raj, a youngster from Bihar, wanting to assassinate Mr. Raj Thakre (MNS Chief) tried to hijack a passenger bus in Mumbai was shot down by Mumbai Police. The whole incident is tragic. Bihar’s chief minister has issued a statement saying that the police could have overpowered Rahul Raj and [...]
I read the news in local daily that says “India gets another feather in its cap: NASA has decided to setup R&D center in Pune, India”. I confirmed the news here. So, the world is recognizing our ‘talent’, huh? Unless they tell us “you guys are good!” we won’t know that we are good. Now, I don’t get this – why do we need NASA in India? Its *their* national aeronautics and space administration; we’ve got our own ISRO. Why [...]
My friend Mayur wrote about laptop being a status symbol. My observations are somewhat similar. Lot of 20-somethings have very good salaries and they are completely clueless about what to do with the money. So they want to buy laptop. I call them Bozos. So, read this post and determine if you are a bozo. In the end, if I save you money, thank me. That’s all I expect.
