SC Judge apologises for Taliban Comment

Somehow in my daily business, I missed one important news which has been brought to my attention by one of my learned seniors whom I treat with high esteem when it comes to any serious discussion related to legislation, Indian Judiciary, human rights.
I am not sure, if I got annoyed after reading this because our highest judicial authority has taken a bow against religious fundamentalism or am happy to see that we are so democratic that even the highest judicial authority is not exceptional and accepts mistakes. Before elaboarting, I …

Was Apple right in hiding Steve’s illness?

During my regular internet surfing, I stumble upon an interview of Warren Buffet at CNBC where he is criticizing Apple for hiding the serious illness of Steve Jobs and that he did a liver transplant couple of months back.
If I have any serious illness, or something coming up of an important nature, an operation or anything like that, I think the thing to do is just tell the American, the Berkshire shareholders about it.  I work for ‘em.  Some people might think I’m important to the company.  Certainly Steve Jobs is …

Solution of global financial crisis

 
Like every second IT guy, I manage to get lot of email forwards, many of which I delete without even having a look but this forward from Tanay caught my attention. Fine, it’s an anecdote and things are not this simple but I couldn’t resist the temptation to post this :- )

It is August. In a small town on the South coast of France, holiday season is in full swing.  But it is raining so there isn’t too much business happening.
 
Everyone is heavily in debt.
 
Luckily, a rich Russian tourist …

मधुशाला
मृदु भावों के अंगूरों की आज बना लाया हाला,
प्रियतम, अपने ही हाथों से आज पिलाऊँगा प्याला,
पहले भोग लगा लूँ तेरा फिर प्रसाद जग पाएगा,
सबसे पहले तेरा स्वागत करती मेरी मधुशाला।।१।
प्यास तुझे तो, विश्व तपाकर पूर्ण निकालूँगा हाला,
एक पाँव से साकी बनकर नाचूँगा लेकर प्याला,
जीवन की मधुता तो तेरे ऊपर कब …

And it’s final: Dell Studio XPS 16

 
Don’t be  surprised if I say that currently I don’t have a personal laptop. I bought one Dell Inspiron 15 during earlier office days to get over the STC dorms boredom and really didn’t use it more than to watch movies and listening music and later have given to my bro as parting gift. My office laptop is another Dell model – Laltitude D630 and I am pretty OK with it. In the meanwhile, I started feeling the need to own a personal laptop where I don’t have to disconnect …

Legalisation of homosexuality in India

I am neither a homosexual nor a big Celina Jaitley fan but I am glad and relieved when Indian HC passed the verdict in favor of gays and homosexuals on 2nd July. A lot of discussions and emotional melodrama has been going on in Indian media on how some people get the wrong body and by the time, they realize that then gets too late, all blah-blah … might be true but not very convincing or appealing to me and thus this is not the reason why i am appreciating …
