Remembering Bapu

shashi — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 09:11:55 +0000

As we celebrate 139th birth anniversary of Bapu (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi),the ‘Father of the nation’ ..I wanted to ask a question to myself and my readers.. Do you still believe in Gandhigiri ? Do you think his ways and thoughts are still applicable and give the same results ? .. Am not referring to Munnabhai’s movie, am talking about real life ,do you think you can make it work ?

But whatever it is, even though probably those ways might not work completely now, yet Bapu remains in the hearts of every Indian !

Here are some of the movies made about our beloved Bapu . Movies on Bapu

B Day

shashi — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 04:55:40 +0000

I didn’t know I would get so many surprises on this day. Iqqu was the first to wish me exactly at 12:00am.As I was just talking to him, I said nobody knows about my birthday here, so no celebrations as such. And suddenly Manya brings a cake fully lit with candles and it all started. Cut the cake, then the cake painting session started. The celebration here was quite decent and not like the one that happened last year in Rochester with special abhishekum(u know what i mean) and lots of bumps..not lots too much bumps.. etc…

And last to call was my chaddi dost Kirrya.. he called up at 11:52pm ..dabba kirrya nanna birthday nenap haarti ..maadteni ..

A nice greeting card given by my roommates. And after that calls and calls from everywhere and online wishes too ;).

And here is only the pic of the surprise gift Shaanya sent me through Fedex and somebody knocked it off our apt front door :( , very bad … hogli bida shaanya.. it happens.. thanks le kalsidakka..

After 4 calls from me and several calls from Shaanya, Fedex were so humble and responsible that they are going to resend the package of the same value to me again, so Shaanya sending me chocolates this time !

This is the last year’s birthday celebration - Birthday @ Rochester

Shaanya dedicated his blog for my birthday and surprisingly wrote a post about me on his blog - Shaanya.com.

Thanks for making this day special.. Nanna Hrudayapurvaka Dhanyavadagalu

What went wrong with the finance companies and whats going on around … this is a nice ppt forwarded by Pavi which explains the complex finance scenario in a simple manner keeping the “hilarious” factor ON..

A must read for all.. its not at all complex to understand

ps: Sorry I tried to save it in normal .ppt format, by doing this it increased the size of the ppt to 72Mb. So attaching the original .pptx file.

Gaal Ke Laddoo-Welcome to Sajjanpur

shashi — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:59:48 +0000

This movie just jumps off the plate. You will not have thought of such a movie , a mix of rural and urban thinking stlye. It revolves around a character called Mahadev played by Shreyas Talpade. He is a letter writer in the village who helps people in writing letters( in his own unique way) which work out best for the people almost all times. Nice storyline with awesome acting from everybody.. simple story but something different …

The best scene I love the most is the scene where the young ‘mahadev’ kisses ‘kamala’ .. She asks him to teach her to write as nicely as him. She gives him a laddo.. he says “Gaal ke laddo khaane degi” … you will just ROFL.. its really a nice scene.. just love it !

Something is really wrong with bollywood.. they are making awesome movies nowadays .. “A Wednesday”, “Mumbai Meri Jaan” and now its “Welcome to Sajjanpur” .. gr8 going !

Online on MID!

shashi — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 23:47:42 +0000

What are MID’s ? I got a chance to have hands on experience with MID’s. The one I was

playing around was a device by Compal( with Intel Atom processor(800Mhz,4gb),Midinux OS with Wifi & Bluetooth & GPS.

Today afternoon,I got a chance to play around with it, so I was online on Gmail, played videos on Youtube,bluetooth transfers, camera-taking photos,videos etc.

Thats just a demo model but its still buggy.. And frankly speaking if somebody gave me $200 or so, then I will buy it. I don’t see anything special in that device. iPhone,iTouch have the same functionality, so why buy the MID ? But if they really improve it and make it impressive before the final release and at a lower price than iTouch or any other devices with same functionality, then I would certainly like to buy one for my dad.. here’s a pic.. me online on Gmail on MID..
