explosions!!

It was yet another boring Saturday. I could not find anything interesting in tv also. Logged into youtube to see some videos. evlo naal than verum songs and comedy aave parkarathu. konjam unusual videos parkalamnu thonuchu. There was an article about nuclear research in Hindu that day. So thought to see some nuclear and other explosions videos. I have only read about these explosions and hardly seen any videos. I was dumbstruck on seeing few of the videos. Really awesome!!! At the same time, it is sad that most of the nuclear research are done for the destructive purpose rather than for constructive ways. ;-( 4 bomba iruntha pothum, India vaye gaali pannidalam ..

Few of the videos here..

a bulb that costed Rs.800

Don't think of a electric bulb. Its about a big mokkai i got at Palika Bazaar, Delhi. I bought a 8GB Transcend pen drive in a shop inside Palika bazaar. Initially they told me that price of an 8GB pen drive is 1400 rupees. I vaguely remembered that even 2GB pen drive cost Rs.600 in Bangalore and was wondering how come they are giving 8GB for just Rs.1400. I thought they might be getting in wholesale and since there many such shops they might be selling at competitive prices. I checked in few more shops also and finally got one such for Rs.800 after some bargaining. I even put that pen drive in a laptop in that shop and checked the size also. I was quite happy that I got an 8GB at such a low price and was about to buy one more for my brother. But my intuition told me that let me try this first and if it works good then i can go for one more. I tried it immediately when i returned to room. Then, I came to know that I was cheated. ;-( .. I did google many times and finally found that these are fake drives widely under circulation in these kinda markets. They will show the drive size as 8GB and u will be able to copy data sized that much. But the actual storage is just 128 MB. If you try to read the data u copied just now, u will be able to read only the initial data copied upto 128MB mark in the drive. Rest will show some crap values in the file name. ;-) At the end, I paid Rs.800 for just 128 Mb pen drive.

Please pass this info to your friends and others ppl whom u know. Though it is not possible for us to eradicate these fake products, at least we can alert our friends by passing this piece of info.

People Care Center

When I was on my way to office yesterday, I happened to see sewage water flowing out of broken cap. Its a quite busy road as it is on the way to a hospital. The entire stretch of road smelt foul that i was not even able to breath properly. It looked like it would had been flowing since the previous evening. Such things happens very often at various places. Why not our govt can have People Care Center (similar to customer care centers in private companies) to address these kinda issues? Few people who are living in that area or passing the road would have thought to inform the concerned official to repair the broken cap but wouldn't have informed as most of them are not aware of the respective numbers. (including me). Had there been a customer care and people are well informed about it, then at least someone would have raised the complaint that evening itself and this inconvenience could have been avoided. If a customer care system is adopted to address our daily issues and followed efficiently (a herculean task ;) ) , it would make our environment a far better place than any other country. Wouldn't it be??

Relax time ...

At last I m done with my applications and stuff. Will come to know the results in another 3 months. After a long time, watched few of my favorite comedy scenes, esp goundar's comedies. I always enjoy those comedies no matter how many times i have seen. Though many comedians has come today, goundamani-senthil pair is unbeatable. their timing and dialogue delivery are chimbly chanceless ..

few of the videos which i watched yday ..
