Durga's Random Thoughts.

I thought babies could be bought. In fact, when I wanted a sibling, I would ask mom and dad to buy one and come when they come from office. :) They b(r)ought one home a year later. :) Later, I thought babies happened when a man and woman hugged and kissed. Little did I know there was a lot more to it than kisses and hugs. I thought actors lived inside the TV. They had similar looking people and they jumped to start acting when I switched on my TV. I would switch the TV on and off in succession to see whether they are a proactive lot and adhered to time. They had one person for each TV from a lot that looked similar. And since we are buying these people also, the TV is costly. I used to believe that the Indian flag had orange at the top and the Kerala flag has red on top. (Thanks to my very imaginative mom!) I used to think that people who ate non veg on sundays are all christians. So much that I believed the neighbours who didnt buy meat on sundays were hindus. I used to be sc...

American tax payers are idiots. A big chunk from that goes into tapping calls and snooping. Tell me what you get out of it Mr Tax Payer? :) Sources : The Hindu PS- It is funny how the Americans find it fine to be looted by their own to betray others. The Story so far, for the people who missed it -  Edward Forward...

After all, blood is blood.

It is a bit late to analyse this situation but I felt so strongly about the way everyone other than a US citizen has been violated of their privacy and faith. Now, obviously everyone who continues reading would have a basic idea about what the whole incident is. So, what are our alternatives? 1. ICANN (controlled by the US dept of Commerce ) is controlling all our website registrations and tracking it. This makes it easier for them to snoop around who does what and what goes on, where. Although this was not a part of the revelations by Snowden, it is only common sense to understand why they fight tooth and nail to keep that control within themselves. We should revisit the need to have a separate body under the UN to control the  website registrations and other related services. I am not saying that it will not be under the influence of the who is who from the upper strata of the US government, but at least it will be lesser. Now, we also see that there is a price variatio...

So this idiot, comes along and argues with me as shown above. He blames God when he cannot explain it. Metaphor otherwise. Somehow, they have changed the meaning of Metaphor for his use. He opportunistically blames miracles and claims to know the Bible better than anyone at times and feigns ignorance at other times. Now, I am NOT an atheist. I just feel like kicking the 'blind belief' in its shin once a while and see where it goes. That conversation went on although I never took part in it after this point. Had enough fun already. :) Love and Sarcasm, Durga Nandan

Telecom Commission gives 100% FDI  nod. Impact: As much as the foreign inflow of investment will be there, there will be an outflow of profits and  in the long run a lot of 'Indian money'. Will create jobs. Will bring in good competition and technology. Bring down the tele-connectivity prices (Hopefully. If anyone can give me a reason for or against this, it would be great.) But is India not saturated enough a market for growth? Will investments flow in like expected?
