Monday, April 30th, 2007

My friend has already bought one. So I would hope he does not read this post. Here are some not so nice posts on the Bajaj’s Pulsar bike.
Pulsar 200 is unsafe
Pulsar 200 Shocker Problems
There are some really amazing photos to see. I would let you check these posts out.

Australia is awesome

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

This world cup has been pretty boring for me overall. But the final match between Australia and Sri Lanka has been awesome.
Australia is played extremely well and it seems unlikely that they are going to miss out on this edition of the ICC World Cup.
Looks like I was right after all

Steve Waugh and Cricket on Indian Television

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

I am writing this post while watching the Australia-Sri Lanka match on television. And I am pretty surprised to see that only Steve Waugh has till now publicly claimed that excessive advertisements during the game play on Indian channels is killing the pleasure of watching cricket at home.

Something on Moto ROKR Ads and Dilli Da Download

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

The advertisements are pretty cool. One of the newer versions has Abhishek saying that there is lots of space on the Rokr to store movies.
We do not really have any digital music or video/movie download service in India. So, what about the legal aspect of storing and viewing movies on the ROKR?
Maybe they are [...]

Cricketers and Taxes

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

Just read in news today that our beloved Mr. Sachin Tendulkar paid around Rs. 5 crores in taxes this year. I am no mathematician but this much amount in taxes would mean around Rs. 20 crores in income. Does not make sense to me.
As per Wikipedia:
Sachin signed a deal worth Rs. 180 crores [...]

A modified Xbox 360 from Zoozen. Looks like something Apple made. But with lots of curves. Looks pretty.

ICICI Bank Sucks

Friday, April 27th, 2007

There you have it. The ICICI Bank so totally sucks. They have made my life a living hell. My debit card is still missing. The head office claims to have sent it to my local branch. The local branch has no records of them receiving it.
The call center dude says that the system is [...]

Have Joost Cannot Run

Friday, April 27th, 2007

Just got my invite for Joost from Brian. Sadly, it does not run at my end. Looks like it needs enough people within the local area to have enough bandwidth for the content to show. It could also be an Airtel problem. Looks like I would have to wait. Looks like 2007 is indeed not [...]

Bajaj makes it tough to enjoy Pulsar 200

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

An update to the experience dealing with the Bajaj Dealer in Gurgaon (Krishna Auto Sales) with regards to the Pulsar 200 my friend acquired.
The dealer no longer has the bike in stock. Looks like the demand is greater than the supplies. Very good for Bajaj.
The problem? The dealer does not even have the spare [...]

Damn you Citibank

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Damn you Citibank
I had a feeling that Citibank was at fault for my misplaced Credit Card payment check earlier this month. Now, I have some proof…
DGIR had found that both banks (Citibank, HSBC) were allegedly delaying delivery of bills and realisation of cheques toward payment just to charge increased interest rate, late fee and fine [...]
