T20 FINAL - MISBAH'S MISTAKE!!

MISBAH THOUGHT HE WAS SENDING THE BALL TO A PLACE WHERE THERE WAS NO ONE... HE DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS A MALAYALI IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD !!!

Internet Woes

Its been over a month since I applied for the Reliance Broadband connection at home, The only reply I get every time I call them is "Do Din mein ho jayenga", the Do Din saga has now reach more than 42 days... I intend to call n cancel it if it doesn't come in another Do Din.

 

My local cable internet guy was fine for a while and thanks to the Colony LAN, then Thanks to the monsoon the LAN got screwed up and water started dripping from the LAN throwing my internet connection for a toss for over 2 months before I finally ditched him.

 

 

MTNL has great speeds but getting a connection involves infinite babugiri, paperwork and delays.

 

I wonder why cant some Telco or ISP have a wi-fi hotspots around Bombay.

 

Meanwhile I'm juss waiting for Do Din for my Reliance Broadband..... 

 

What I need ?

An unlimited Internet connection with 128/256 kbps, my budget is around 1k , so if any ISP, Telco or any good Samaritan is reading this please redirect them to me .

 

 

 

The Real reason India won...

Coz I dint watch it,  I'm quite superstitious about it ... Every time I watch a Indo-Pak match , Either India loses wickets quickly or Pakistan scores rapidly.. I was watching the match via the ticker on the News channel, I changed the channel to ESPN only when I heard my neighbor screaming.

 

India Rocks, Chak de India.

 

p.s Shahrukh looked like Michael Jackson yesterday.. I hope he doesn't start liking boys.

 

 

 

Hot Off The Streets

http://www.ibnlive.com/photogallery/492.html

Photographer Sephi Bergerson spent 4 years shooting Indian street food across the span of the country, awesome shots... really inspires me to do something like this across Bombay.

I would prefer eating and tasting before shooting it, shady ones will not be chronicled :))

Bali - Malaysia Diary

Me and Deepthi visited Bali and Malaysia last week, sharing some snapshots of Bali and Malaysia.

My Views
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia : Great Place, clean, best airport, VFM shopping, truly multi cultural country.
Do visit China Town, The Nightclubs and yes the Petronas Towers and the big malls.

Bali Indonesia : Superb place, it is the world best Island as they say, great friendly people, if you are from India they are bound to ask are you a Hindu and might even flaunt their swastika chain. Clean endless beaches, total party place, great culture and dances.

Do try paragliding, jetskis and laze on the beach and drink Bintang (Indonesia's ultimate Beer), buy cool Bali Masks and paintings and wood crafts and get a tattoo :)
There are live bands and beach parties at almost all hotel and restaurants, the night life is endless at this happy Hippy place where everyone is a millionaire. (1 USD - 9200 Rupiah)


We camped at Berjaya Times Square & Hardrock Hotel

You can dekko all the pics at my flickr album ==> Photsets

My Aunty's Pooja room, every mallu in kerala has puja rooms in their house.

I am not surprised why Kerala is called Gods Own Country.

Chai - Kerala Style

Chaiwallahs in Kerala are damn cool they will stir and mix your super kadak Kanan Devan Dust Chai in this amazing ritual of tossing it from 4ft into a tiny glass without spilling a drop.

I wish they served Whiskey n Soda like this :)

No one lives here anymore, as all my cousins are out of kerala and after my Grandfather expired there is no one to take care of it.

I hope am able to restore it to a better condition and relive the memories that are attached to the house.

Puke of the day

 

Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi said that theirs was ‘a jail bharo andolan similar to the one led by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle’.

 

The mob — reportedly protesting the proposal of setting up a special economic zone (SEZ) in Raigad district — attacked people and their vehicles.

 

Joshi himself has bought a property worth 400 crores to build a mall and complex in Dadar.

 

Read da mayhem report

http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx?page=article&sectid=2&contentid=2007081720070817024118531b86f8902

 

 

This shit reminds of my friend Nilesh, a loyal shiv sainik, who always fought for the right of the Marathi manoos all his life many years ago he was taking his sick aunty or someone to Jaslok  hospital and the shiv sena mob broke his car window shield and nearly bashed him up. 

 

I wish all the idiots who participated in the mayhem get a bigger punishment as I doubt any of these fuckers have cars. 

 

Just Pondering

Is it right to expect friends to take leave and travel to attend your events, Or I guess its asking to much in today's rat race..
Or maybe I'm from a different school of thought...

Anyways WTF somethings I personally don't subscribe too and can't surely not expect others..

but then there are exceptions to it too...

Chak De India

ChakDeIndia, originally uploaded by Bombayite.

The film is based on Mir Ranjan Negi. The goalkeeper of the Indian Hockey Team which lost 7-1 to Pakistan in Asian Games Hockey Final, back in 1982 who later came back to coach India to Asian gold in 1998 and the womens common wealth gold in 2002.

The movie is well directed by Shimit Amin whose earlier movie " Ab Tak Chappan" which I also liked.

SRK and the all the hockey girls have played and acted well, the patriotic scenes do really give you the goose bumps.

I wont tell you all the story but its definitely worth watching and the timing is just perfect for a great Independence week.

And yes more people will play hockey and support hockey.

I give 4/5 Points.

Parzania

Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Sarika ,Corin Nemec , Parzan, Pearl , Directed by Rahul Dholakia

Based on a true-life incident, about a Parsi couple searching for their son who has been missing since the Gujarat riots.

This movie hurts you, pains you.. makes you wonder if you are living in the 21st Century.. What drives people to do such mayhem and pogrom.
Fundamentalists on both sides Hindus and Moslems kill innocents on both sides, The government plays puppet and no justice is done.. I doubt whether it will ever be done.



Gujarat riots was the first televised riots and hence the memories and images are still fresh in the minds of the people, Bombay and Delhi riots were not televised but mere reported with censorship ... Victims there also are yet to get justice...

At least now people on both sides somewhat realise that they are just mere tiny pawns in the big game played by politicians using each ones imaginary friend.

At times I think The Commies are a zillion times better at least they fight for real issues Labour, Land Reforms, Foreign Policy etc not for some Temple or Rath Yatra.

I pray we celebrate the 60th year of Independence with the hope that every Indian no matter which religion or caste or colour or ethnicity is protected by a Government who doesn't shy away from its Raj Dharma and the Army is given the freedom to protect its people in case the government fails to do it

Having said that, I still believe India is the greatest country and I still have faith in our young democracy and am bullish that it will prevail.

Jai Hind..
