At Nandi hills, after a long gap. Went there at the inspiration of a few colleagues, who were on a wild goose chase of "sunrise" on a misty November morning.I was amazed with the inspiration and commitment which they displayed to start at 4 to reach there before the gate was open.Result was some satisfactory misty pictures.click on the picture to see the full image...

I "happened to see" my blog while I was searching for something else, and realized that the previous blog post was about media and 26/11.I just happened to realize that today is 26/11. Even though I am not watching television these days, and completely banned news channels, I occassionally bump into them in cafeteria or even at home once in a while. Did it change from the previous post, answer is

Below is an excellent piece of article which appeared in Deccan Chronicle today.Before that, Here is a very good article which appeared in TOI today.New Delhi Dec. 2: India’s best-known television journalists appear to have finally beaten Ekta Kapoor in the battle for TRPs. In six days flat. The all-out war witnessed editors being paradropped, reporters lying prostrate on the ground when not

What next?I am not asking the same question as all TV channels are asking. All TV channels seem to be asking the same question. They are saying the same things like "enough is enough" etc.Directing anger towards political establishment. Suddenly all TV channels seem to have taken up this new fancy of changing the world. They are showing interviews of people who are dead against politics and

I have stopped watching news channels for some time.Unfortunately, the Mumbai incidents let me glued to those channels for a couple of days.I was shifting between channels, to avoid listening to those irresponsible "journalists" who want to sensationalize every piece of information which they have.I used to think, if I am the only one thinking that way. But after seeing a few other blogs which I

How do you feel when some on damages your property, and you dont get to do anything about it?Frustrated.I live in an apartment complex, and I have put a Tata Sky dish for my viewing pleasure.I have heard about the cable operators lobby trying to prevent Tata Sky connections, and I have heard from Tata Sky technicians who came to install the dish an year ago about physical attacks on them by cable

They are all icons in their own terms. Proven track record, who can single handedly perform complex feats. Consistently "exceeded expectations" and performed more than what they are expected to perform.When you put some of them in a single place, what do you expect. That is your dream team.What could be the reasons for such a team to fail to meet basic objectives?Failure to understand common

Not a maverick level cricket fan, but I do follow a bit of cricket.ICL as a concept was excellent, and IPL copied to the "T". Added more drama in it, by having "owners" for teams etc. Let me not get into those details, but at least, I thought Super Kings, and Deccan Chargers were the best of teams (theoretically)Super Kings are still living up to their reputation, but DC failed to impress me.

I was reading Times of India this Sunday, and I came across this article by Shashi TharoorIt was an interesting reading.The most important point stressed is the attitude...This is the India that did a deal with the Kandahar hijackers rather than the India that threw out the intruders of Kargil.Some of the key things...Sreesanth’s extraordinary hit over Nel’s head for six — in reaction to the

I never could imagine a lower level than this for "National news"24x7 News channels have de-graded the quality of news to such low levels.Check this.

There were only clouds, very dark clouds, and a heavy dust storm. Will it rain or not? Not sure, and we move out to the open area, to appreciate some cold weather even if it is dusty.All the clouds are moving away. Oh... will it not rain today after so much of anticipation?A set of clouds disappeared fast. They moved west wards. And gathered at a place. There were smaller clouds moving in that

Keep the customer happy!But what happens when the customer is terribly unhappy. He doesnt hear back, or his problem is not rectified even when it is "escalated"? He threatens to go to court on that.I had to do that finally, and I was heard only when I served a "notice" that if my problem is not addressed, I am going to court, and ask for higher compensation.To keep the story short and simple, I

After coming to the exam, you cannot say that instead of having for 100 marks, lets just have the paper for 60 marks, and decide the result.I accept, if I am appearing for an examination, I should be prepared for "all situations".Atleast when the exam is so crucial and it cannot be re-done. Worst so, you cannot say that few people will write the test for 80 marks, and few people will attempt the

I am embarrassed, because a fellow country man, that too a "very respected visionary"(I donot think that big anyway) is "trying to save embarrassement" to a very few people by not singing the national anthem, in a meeting attended by the President of India.I am more embarrassed because there are a sizeable number of people who want to run him for the Presidency.If you are embarrassed of singing

Every one who reads news papers try to "share" or "exchange" the knowledge/information with other. Which might mean that they are eager to display that they are "thinking" about the happenings around them, and that they have an opinion about those happenings.A news paper might publish a lot of news every day in news paper. It may not be humanly possible for people to "discuss" about all the news

These days I read news papers, and try to figure out what the news actually could be, by looking at the heading of the news.There are some funny things which appear like "Sport of pain" for the Indian defeat in "Port of Spain" in Caribbean.I opened a news web site sometime back and see this heading "Quake hits Pak, tremors felt in India"I was wondering if there is any pun in that headline.But
