Right from the day A.B. senior started presenting KBC -1, I was pretty much interested in that..I remember once in those days of land-line telephone system, I used to sit at home and try dialling those inaccessible Mumbai telephone lines and try to answer the questions given by them.. In those days, there was no funda of questions being flashed in the screen during the program..U call them ,if u r fortunate to get connected they'll ask u a question, for which u have to dial the answer in that IVRS . I remember getting connected twice and answering those questions, only to lose out in the next round of random selection... Now, in KBC-II and KBC-III after the advent of airtel, the situation is actually much worse.. I subscribed to an airtel package ( 99/- ) wherein they SMS me the questions and I've to SMS the answers to get shortlisted for random selection.. The charges are 2.4/- per SMS.. To tell u how airtel makes money, just have a look at the KBC entry quest...

Should have put up this post sometime back.. Neways, better late than never.. I finally said a temporary goodbye to my good-old Nokia 1100 .. Switched to Motoming - A1200 , which I bought through my friend at Motorola getting a good discount :) .. I'm no geek to review a mobile-phone.. So, restricting it into some points.. Pros Stylish, Voice quality is good, Camera is good, Opera web browser is OK,Pretty stable, Hand writing recognition is fine, Battery charge stays on for quite a good time...etc Cons It has only Realplayer support..I havent yet managed to install divx codec in it :( , There is a business card reader, which is actually quite useless.. The phone has a 200 odd pages user manual along with it, which I chucked after 2 days. Aftermath Seriously irritated with the Airtel customercare centre.. Had a hell lot of trouble for enabling browsing in it... Still lot of things to sort it out on that front.. Notably, though I can browse blogs...

Lot of tough things have been happening over the last few days , so thought of posting something light.... Below are a few funny incidents taken from my life which I could recollect now.. No malice intended towards the characters involved in the stories..Only intention is to have some good laugh =============================================================== 1. Venue NITC College hostel.. X and Y are two inmates in the hostel... X comes and knocks Y's room .. Y : Aaraa ?? ( Who's this ? ) X: Ninte Appan..Thurakkeda vaathil ( I'm Ur father..Open the door ) -- Considering the REC lingo, this was actually a very moderate answer :) -- Y Opens the door and X comes in to find another person in the room.. Y introduces to X the person inside the room.. "This is my father ,Mr. ....... " -- I was not present there to watch X's face....I wish Y had taken a snap of the occassion :) ============================================================ 2. Venue: Oracle Hyder...
