Caller Blocking Service
Vodafone has recently introduced a call-blocking service, which I have been intrigued about for the simple reason that I think it is flawed in every which way possible. I discovered this call blocking stuff due to the huge hoardings that have been put up all over Bangalore, though I am not sure of TV ads have also made their way just [...]
Dorky Guffaw in the Press Pit
Dorky Guffaw is a Rock Journalist. Of course, he is a Journalist as well as a Rock, but calling him the former will swell his gigantic head up in proportion just like a red giant is formed out of a dying star, and calling him the latter will just make him go off on one of his customary random tangents about Simon and Garfunkel songs, of which he [...]

The Times They Are A’Changing
After a narrow run-in with a possible appearance on page 3 due to a visit to a radio station 'friends only' party (which sounds ominously like live-journal lingo reference), I was in receipt of some other piece of news that had me scandalized and aghast at the developments that were taking place in the world around me. In the before (like in [...]
