Now SMS your newswallah

November 14, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

The Sunday Times of India has taken customer orientation to a new high!
For the articles written by columnists, now readers can leave feedback by sending SMS to a mobile
number by saying “Yes” or “No” to an article. That would probably give the TOI folks
a quick reckoner on what is selling — what’s hot and what’s not.

The Aussie ‘push’

November 14, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

Much TV and news coverage was given to the Aussie ‘push’ given to BCCI president Sharad Pawar in the Champions Trophy.
The Poynting Finger and ‘Hiya buddy’ were the other ‘items’ to round up the whole affair.
Given that it was not one single thing but 3 and counting, it is difficult to think
if it was not planned in some sense. If only one of these 3 things had happened, it
‘might’ be dismissed as a one off absurdity. Otherwise, such behaviour might be expected
from people drunk out of their senses.

Initial Experience with Tata Sky Satellite service

September 10, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

Tata sky has recently launched the satellite tv service, and I gladly ventured to subscribe for the service, having experienced good results with a trial run Hathway’s digital cable service.  The only difference is that Hathway is still
delivered through cable operator, and hence we are dependent on vagaries of power supply issues.  Otherwise, both services need a settop box.

September 3, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

The front page news in Times of India said Delhi will soon join other cities in the 10 m mobile users club. Used to thinking in crores for Indian population, I quickly reckoned that 10 m is 1 crore, which used to be the population of whole of Delhi a few years back.

The dramas of coalition politics

January 22, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

Indian politics can become hilarious sometimes, and for your own good health, do not take your MPs or MLAs seriously. Every once in a while, the great drama of coalition politics unfolds in a state or centre. A breakaway group of legislators claim they have switched allegiance, and all hell breaks loose for some time till a govt gets in seat again. Now the conventional wisdom is that breakaway faction of legislators should be herded and protected — like one would fence precious cattle so it is not stolen.

One of the important issues being discussed these days is how retail sector can be opened up and how much and in what sector FDI should be allowed? Some proponents of retail say there is no harm opening up retail for luxury or single brands.

Argumentative Indian – why stop at argument ?

January 8, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

Ok, I have not read the book by Amartya Sen, and probably will not. Not because I have anything against the book or author, but I have to spend my free time among various other reading pursuits.

On fake notes and animal bones

January 7, 2006 By videv Leave a Comment

The recent hot news is about alleged presence of animal bones in ayurvedic medicines made by Swami Ramdev’s organisation. A minister in central govt quickly confirmed within a day that it was all true. Wonder whether they will move at same speed with a verdict if a major cola was alledged to have pesticide (remember that story of not so long ago…).

December 26, 2005 By videv Leave a Comment

The recent case of MPs taking money to ask questions in parliament has been getting much news coverage. What is interesting is that the caught MPs did not get much support from any of the political parties.

Movie Review: Out for a Kill

December 9, 2005 By videv Leave a Comment

First things first, I have to lament on what has happened to the phenomenon called Steven Seagal. At one time, I would defend his movies against others who termed them as Bollywood type movies. But now it seems they are getting worse than anything Holly or Bollywood has to offer.
