NDTV Office Attacked For Including Hussain In Bharat Ratna Poll
NDTV reports that it's offices at Ahmedabad was attached by Hindu Samrajya Sena in retaliation of NDTV's SMS based Bharat Ratna poll which included Hussain, the infamous painter hussain.
This is the best news I have read this day. Absolutely made my day! Way to go guys, whoever you are. Keep up the good work.
The media in India is Free. Not Free as in beer but Free as in Freedom. That freedom comes with a responsibility. You cannot have one without the other.
Freedom is never free. There is always a price to be paid. Most of the time the Indian Media deserves the freedom it enjoys. But not this day! By including a bastard like hussian in a list of the best of the country you have degraded all that makes this country great, including the millions that died to ensure that we are a nation.
You cannot hide behind the fact that you are the "media" and hope to get away with any shit you want to dish out. Go too far and your freedom will be taken away. We are not speaking of the freedom of the media in general here but the freedom that NDTV enjoys by virtue of being a part of the free Indian media.
Remember - you, the media, are free because the people of India desire that you be free. Don't push us too far.
Amazing Homework (UKG, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School, Hyderabad)
I was amazed at this kid's work.
Mitul studies in UKG (2007 - 2008) at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Public School, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. I remember Bablu, my son, brining back the same homework just before Durga Puja in Oct 2007. And I also remember that his efforts were a far cry from Mitul's 
Mitul's homework was posted just outside the room of the Primary Section Supervisor.
No Time To Stand And Stare
The famous peom by William Henry Davis was taught to Mamli, my 8 year old daughter, in her English class at school. As homework they were asked to add two more lines to the peom.
Mamli's efforts were judged the best in the class and her project was displayed on the class notice board. I took this picture when I went to meet her teachers and collect her report card after the mid term exams.
The last two lines were added by Mamli.
The View From My office (Oracle, Hyderabad)
I recently moved into the Oracle Campus at Madhapur from our leased Raheja Mind Space office. I have a cabin on the 4th floor at the front of the building. Not a corner room. Not yet
I can see the Dell building across the street and they dominate my view 
In the evenings the landing flights roar directly overhead as we are right in the landing flight path. I notice them only in the evenings. Maybe because there is particularly heavy air traffic at that time of the day.
My office is in the new Oracle building, called Phase II. The older building is right beside ours and the multilevel parking is behind.
This is my office. The photo was taken at about 10.00 am in the morning.
My office building at night. This photo was taken at about 7.00 p.m. and most people had left for the day.

TOI on Mobile – Alas, No Indian Express Yet
Over the last half decade, The Times of India has been on the forefront of technology use. A few days ago I stumbled across their TOI Mobile service and was suitably impressed.
I immediately went searching for a similar service for The Indian Express but sadly was not able to locate any. I use MobiPocket Reader to pull the main Indian Express stories via their RSS feeds and then have MobiPocket synchronize with my Sony Ericsson P1i. This works well for me but a mobile formatted version would be great!
The Times Of India is still delivered daily to my door step but I have stopped reading it. The character of the newspaper has changed drastically over the last few years, making it another tabloid like the Deccan Chronicle.
I prefer the Indian Express.
