Mein Hoo Na...Mein Hain Na.. 2008-04-13 08:53:00 Till I joined REC Warangal , I had to mind my ka and ki whenever I tried speaking in Hindi. So in school the best option was to avoid talking in Hindi.Kintu and parantu sounded so similar to me, in spite of a rigorous Hindi syllabus I was subject to for a decade in school. Thank god, it ended in class ten. And those ten years were not easy.Difficult would be an understatement of the times I had to go through with Hindi.To top in all it was Course A of CBSE Hindi that I had to suffer. (Some schools had Course B which was as easy as English alphabets!) The misery did not end there. My school, for some godforsaken reason had Social Studies in Hindi. Yes, that makes life all fun filledą„¤ When you have all your Geography, History and Civics in Hindi World war was always Vishwa Yuddh for me. L

Presence in blessings only 2008-05-01 11:55:00 The first time I saw Chi and Sow, it seemed like nothing more than funny 3 letter combinations.That was a Telugu Wedding card if I remember correctly.Plus,the girl had Chi and Sow while the guy had only Chi before his name.Asking around I learnt that Chi was for Chiranjeevi and Sow was Sowbhagyavathi.Chiranjeevi meant nothing more than Aswathama(the only Chiranjeevi I knew) and the Telugu actor Chiranjeevi to me then. Quite unfair that the groom did not have any prefix that was equivalent to Sow...why not Sowbhagyavaan?(So Chiranjeevi's wedding card would have had it as Chi.Chiranjeevi? :D)Another peculiar thing I noticed in non Malayalee wedding cards was the yellow color on the corners.During those times, the most alien card I could have come across was a Tamil, Telugu or a Kannada weddi Read more:Presence
Tring Tring 2008-05-10 17:56:00 This TVC took me back to more than two decades.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Back home,we waited for 4 years to get a telephone connection from the Department of Telecom,the earlier avtar of BSNL. That was 1988.The story of telephony in India can partly be traced through the phones we have had back home.I have seen the evolution of telephone instruments in the past two decades from the dial phones to push buttons, from wall hanging to cordless...The first telephone that we had at home was a Red colored dialing model,manufactured at ITI,Naini.Those were the times when push button phones were yet to hit the market.And the red color looked classy on the phone.Beyond the looks,the instrument had a distinct ring and weighed about 5 kg.N

Mom's messaging story 2008-06-16 00:40:00 Had there been a Mobile Phone Usage License issued by TRAI, I am more or less sure that my mom would need to take it at least 4 times and only after a recommendation from Mobile Tech School of India would she get a license. Though I am exaggerating the situation a (lot)(bit), my mom is simply cross with a cell phone.
In spite of being an average user of the gadget for about 5 years,she uses the p Read more:story
