In Mumbai
Hi all
I am in Mumbai now
will be continuing with the blog as soon as I can.
Moved
The moving process is over now. Took lesser time than I anticipated.
Thanks to the export/import feature of WordPress, and numerous tutorials on the web, that tell us how to move your site and all permalinks without losing visitors (and to some extent the PR)
I am gonna start posting stuff soon.
Prison Break Season 4 Episode 19-Review
The guys at Fox always know what they’re doing or they turn any lousy work of the past into something great when they have to.
Just when you thought Prison Break season 4 was not going anywhere with, very little action and seemingly dumb new characters, and almost stagnant story, they have put a sharp turn into it by revealing that Michael and Lincoln are not brothers 
Whats more shocking is that the truth comes out of the mouth of the bitchy mother Chrisitina who is now playing the central vamp on the show.
She has played it well in these 3 episodes, and i really hate her character, specially after she put Linc and Mikey in the setup at the end 
With T-Bag taking another step out, going on the General’s side, the show is bound to get better in the coming episodes. Whats interesting is the show has only 3 more episodes to go now, so there’s going to be a lot of such shocks coming.
These days I am keeping track of Prison Break, Lost, House M.D. and Sarah Connor Chronicles, and i must say that right now I am waiting for the next episode of PB more than anything 
Wish a nice weekend to all of you

Happy Brother's & Sister's day
Happy Brother’s & Sister’s day to all of you.
I have a younger brother and i never realised the importance of having one untill he left for a far city for his engineering.
Now i miss him and realise how he has been a buddy to me.
Here’s something i created to wish him on this day.
(was in a rush to make it to the office )
i hope you all take this opportunity to give some importance to your siblings.
P.S.: I used ImageShack to make this slideshow after trying about 7 other image sharing and slideshow maker sites and scripts.
my word is that imageshack is the simplest way to do it and does not distort or disfigure your slideshow by adding an unwanted logo or bar to it.
Bachchan family raising middle finger?
Just found this picture making rounds over the web.
the picture is so unbelievable that i almost feel its altered.
Well technically it isnt.
I find it hard to believe that the bachchans can do that.
I am a fan of Big B, and i don’t think his family could be that naive to do this on camera
checkout for yourself.
What the hell
It crashed us all..
The server at my office crashed this week. We had moved all our projects onto it just 2 weeks back. And the worse thing is we had no backups. As it was supposed to be stable and was going to be equipped with a RAID partition soon.
But alas!!
Now we’ll have to do most of the work again right from the start.
So I guess I am going to be even busier in the coming weeks.
But this has taught us a lot, now we’re going to be prepared for the future 
Indian Constitution online
I was just surfing around and found out the official latest version of the Constitution of India, owned, maintained and updated by Legislative Department, Ministry of Law and Justice.
Here’s the link : http://indiacode.nic.in/coiweb/welcome.html
It provides Index wise as well as fulltext search facility and the text is available in Hindi & English.
And in case you wana download the ful pdf version you can get it here, again a governmental website so its all official.
So, “We the people of India..” can access the constitution anytime and use it for our reference, with pride.
Youtube adds full length TV shows & Movies
Youtube has introduced a new section, using which now you can watch TV shows & Movies (well some of them) online, and that too legally, and for free.
If you can’t find it on your account go to http://www.youtube.com/shows for TV shows
and http://www.youtube.com/movies for movies
And the list is surprisingly cool as studios like Crackle, CBS, MGM, Lionsgate, Starz have put their stuff on youtube for you
Checkout the alphabetical list and you’ll be surprised too.
Let’s hope this stays for ever and brings in movies and shows from other media houses as well.
Prison Break returns
Well finally after a long long wait of 5 months, Prison Break is going to resume its Season 4, the best season so far, second only to the 1st season.
Season 4 had a wonderful start with the best storyline since the first season, this season saw the introduction of Don Self
the Fox River escapees teamed up under the leadership of the super cool, super brainy Michael, to acuire Scylla (the company’s blackbook) .
Following mindblowing thrill sequences, they succeed in getting to it, with Michael being diagnosed of brain cancer he inherited from her mother.
But in the end they’re betrayed by Self (that was utterly shocking he seemed to be one of the good cops) . And then there was seemingly sloppy work by Self in tryin to sell Scylla and ultimately losing it.
Michael got abducted by the Company and they suddenly turned into the well-wishers and people who are doing the good thing for the world’s future.
Now we have to see what Michael read in the file Lincoln gave to him, and what happens when they face their mom, the person who has Scylla now.
The other people who’ll pay crucial role now are T-bag and very hot and tuff Gretchen Morgan, I really like T-bag’s character. And since the writers know that his character is so popular I am sure there’s a big surprise coming from the evil devil of the show.
Knowing that these are going to be the last 6 episodes of the show, makes them very special, and fans like me can’t wait to watch it.
Predicting the climax of the show would be too hard and too bad, and i hate to do that.
I hope the show has a happy ending, and i really really hope that both Michael & Lincoln make it through.
The one character that appears expendable to me is Sarah, she really is irrtating
The show is going to air at 9/8c means it’ll be aired 9:00 clock Eastern time and 8:00 clock Central (US time zones)
Doesnt mean much to us in India as we’ll be getting it from the internet ..a little while after it gets telecast.
I’ll be back with episode reviews tomorrow
Take care

Tech Mahindra wins Satyam bid
So, Tech Mahindra has done it. It kept saying no-no all the time, and finally Tech Mahindra is the company that has bagged Satyam, the ill-fated Software Giant.
Whatever Raju did has worked out great for Tech M.
Tech Mahindra(formerly Mahindra British Telecom) the software arm of Mahindra & Mahindra Group, ranked 6th in the last NASSCOM rankings, has so far been focussed on the telecom sector only, and has been a pioneer there. Now it is foraying into the big sea with huge infrastructure of Satyam, with the experienced employees which were a strength of the company that made it big, big enough to shake world markets when it went down itself.
This is special for me as I am waiting for my joining with Tech Mahindra, since last September (which was postponed due to the recession and projects getting delayed). This event can change a lot for people like me. Nobody can actually say whether it is going to be good or bad. Now when Tech Mahindra gains control over Satyam it will have to take care of an emancipated beast that once roared the jungles of IT world, but once it gets better it will strengthen Tech M a lot. The number of engineering passouts of 2008 batch waiting for their joining in Satyam are huge in number, while the existing employees of Satyam seek some consolation in this acquisition by Tech M.
All I hope is that people like me get to join their dream jobs soon.
We have waited to long. I hope things turn out good for people at Satyam as well.
