On the occasion of India's 63rd Independence day, there's a lot of mindless flag waving and jingoistic chest thumping going around. Not one to be outdone we join in with our own top secret weapon, Mr. Bharat. Long before Manoj Shyamalan, one Mr. Manoj Kumar had the market cornered on directing and appearing in his own movies, the difference being Kumar often played the lead roles. Think M. Night playing the role of Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense, however Kumar was so humble he often tried to appear inconspicuous by covering his face with the palm of his hand. Like ...
The Delhi police is putting Web 2.0 in Orwellianism. After coining phrases like "When in rooms do as Roman does", the Delhi police has gone high tech to deal with it's traffic issues. [NYT] (Joel via GTalk) Now, the city’s overburdened traffic police officers have enlisted an unexpected weapon in the fight against dangerous driving: Facebook. The traffic police started a Facebook page two months ago, and almost immediately residents became digital informants, posting photos of their fellow drivers violating traffic laws. As of Sunday more than 17,000 people had become fans of the page and posted almost 3,000 photographs and dozens ...
Recent anecdotal evidence, namely the sudden arrival of friends and relatives living in India on Facebook, suggests that Facebook has suddenly mushroomed in India, slowly overtaking Orkut as the social network of choice. There are some hard statistical numbers to back that claim, WATBlog as early as 2009 had shed light on this trend. Meanwhile back here in the US, the homeland of Facebook and Orkut, people are grasping at straws to explain how Facebook has nearly half of India's population. Maybe it's related to the fact that a small percentage of Indians and Brazilians are now on Facebook? So the ...
A month ago, there was a lot of chatter about Karun facing the axe from the HRT team, for a lack of funds. While similar rumors had been circulating since the start of the season, there were a couple of incidents that week, which made me believe them. First there was Karun talking up the idea of an Indian driver at Force India F1 and how it would attract sponsors. But the second and more significant event was Karun's mom, Chitra Chandhok re-tweeting fan's messages referring to the rumor about him being dropped, because of a lack of funds. When ...

*spoiler alert* Some points give away the story line of the movie.
Peepli Live is a slap fest. It’s a slap across the face, for today’s politicians, the government, it’s babus, their yojanas, and above all, the MEDIA and us, it’s viewers.
Live television has long crossed the boundaries of absurdity. An year ago, the CM of Andhra Pradesh (YS Rajashekar Reddy) passed away in a chopper crash, and the media created a mass hysteria among people …

The immigration debate in the US is often too impassioned, unreasonable and one-sided with one party demanding blanket amnesty for all and the other side demanding mass deportations for all. We’ve brought up this question in the past, what about those who become undocumented for no fault of theirs, particularly those minors who became undocumented immigrants because their parents brought them here or their parent’s visa expired?
Yves Gomes belongs to the latter group. [Silicon India]

Random YouTube video day – I was astonished to see an acrobatic video about an ancient Indian sport on YouTube. Mallakhamb (Malla=Man + Khamb=Pole) (and yes, I do get the juvenile humor in the name).
The earliest mention of Mallkhamb can be traced back to the 12th Century where it is mentioned in the classic “MANASOLHAS” (1135 A.D.).For about seven centuries after that, the art form remained dormant until it was given a new lease of life by BALAMBHATTADADA DEODHAR, the renowned teacher of PESHWA BAJIRAO-II during the first half of …
