Although this post is meant for humor, it reflects the kind of news the Indian news channels have been airing! I wish the government sends them all a message and takes them off air! It’s the need of the hour! Following is the newest article on faking news.
If news channels were to report Silencer’s balatkar speech from 3 Idiots
Imagine if Chatur Ramalingam aka Silencer’s speech on Teacher’s Day from the movie 3 Idiots were to be a real event. How would have the leading Hindi news channels of India reported it? Faking News tries to imagine the Breaking News headlines that would have been flashed by five leading Hindi news channels. If you haven’t watched 3 Idiots, you can watch the concerned clip here.

“An apple a day keeps everyone away, If you throw it hard enough!” Yes, that’s status message painted (actually written) on the white board on my work desk! Yes, I’m in a new facility! We’ve moved into this amazingly spacious facility at DLF, Guindy, Chennai!(spacious enough to have a wheel chair racing competition!(the revolving wheel chair that they use in office! Not the one that ‘Differently abled’ people use!) We almost have a 200m race track around us
) And yes, there is a white board on each of our desks, well that people are rarely using!
The first use of status message as noted from this article(thanks Mashable) started in the days when people used Bulletin board system (BBS) and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) dated back in the 60’s. As it turns out in most of my blog posts, The introduction paragraph isn’t really what this post is about! (or is it?, I’m not sure!)
I posted this message as a status message on Facebook, Twitter, IM and everywhere i could see people seeing it!
The message is not only funny, but also delivers a message that I might harm them if they pissed me off! A thought.. Not that you are surprised, u should find out why?.. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a while and my mental blockade hasn’t faded away.. The last blog on how twitter has changed my life
won me Rs.1200 worth planet M voucher.. Phew a reward when you are facing a blockade is good motivation. If that wasn’t enough, talking to
Disha, who I met at the RCB fanatic fan challenge helped. There is so much to discuss, so many buffered memories, so many topics, so much to discuss!
LVS, this discussion is going to be in parts but i don’t garuntee on the length of the post, I’ll know when it’s complete

.. How many parts? One? two? three? ten? I’m not sure.. Lets just get started.
The following is a conversation that i had with one of my friends two years back that I hope has thought him a lesson..
“Hey, I’m unable to login to my orkut account.” exclaimed my friend. “May be you are typing the wrong password, Check if caps lock is on.”..

Hit me Baby One more Time!!! The Happier Times!
On the High Side: From what could have been bad memories of the motera last year when South Africa bowled us out for a meager 76 off 20 overs to what we are now, 385/6 featuring the highest number of runs from Dravid’s bat in a single day, 11000 runs in test cricket – Rahul Dravid returned to international cricket after having been left out of the 7 match one day series against Australia. From being 32 for 4 at one point, India finished the first day of the first test match against Srilanka at 385 for 6, with Mr. Dependable, Mr. Always Perfect, The wall ,remaining not out on 177. Giving him company at the crease was Harbhajan Singh on 2. More about the match later..
On The Lower Side: Sachin’s comment on him being an Indian first before being a Marathi was questioned by Bal Thackrey in a Mumbai daily.

Enough! Enough! Enough! Ab bas bhi karo yaar! Spare him the horror!
Sachin was immediately asked to apologize or he’d lose support from all the Maharastrians in India. However Stupid that thought is, It’s time we respect and honor these legends. Media has to take more responsibility. Why should journalist’s ask such sensitive questions at all? Spare him the horror! Don’t we already have enough people talking about it? Thankfully Sachin didn’t apologize or say anything against it. A controversy is the last thing he wants. If he can’t be accepted by Marathi people in Maharashtra for a comment that was logically complete and correct, I welcome him to the state of Tamil Nadu where people are respected for what they are, no cast no creed no language or no colour!
Lets not make it even more controversial.. lets just dive in to what happened at the Motera.. Read on.. Read the rest of this entry »
