3 idiots .. Really?

Am I the only person who did not like 3 idiots?

It was a stupid movie.

The movie was supposedly based on the book “5 point some one” and Chetan Bhagat had a spat over it with the producer over the book

I mean yes the movie is a copy of the book with a few hindi movie touches here and there ….but if i were Chetan Bhagat I would have disassociated my self from the book because the book is a insult to my intellectuality (even though I think I am saturated with foolishness but hey nothing is 100%)

Where do I start my ranting…?

Ya the first day of your college ranting you electrocute  your senior ….believe me no matter how big a hotshot your dad is, you are dead the next day.

In our engineering college if we had a junior who spoke to us in a slightly high tone we made sure to set an example of his actions to others.

but no…our Amir khan (Rancho) electrocutes his senior with no consequences. huh!

Ya, Amir khan is a “know it all” guy who can read faces, give parents a parenting class, ride around in Delhi with out a helmet, triple with three people on the bike, Knows more than the University Dean him self.

I mean really, The main emphasis of this university dean was to ” Learn by Rote”,  How the hell did he become the dean of a university if all he did was learn by rote?  You just do not become a professor by teaching, there is a big and a steep curve to become a professor, you need to write journals and articles which need to be published in magazines and reviewed, You need to guide 10 to 20 students to a PHD. And please, Boman Irani , no matter how good a actor he was was looking stupid in the portraying of the dean.

He can write with two hands at once…really?

Only sleeps for 4 hours in a day, and gets his shave in his sleep, powernap….!! Come on.

Vaccum cleaner modify , flooding in delhi…. O come on!!!

Half of the jokes were stale and have been heard over and over again

1. Why did the Americans not use a pencil in space?

Of course they could have used a pencil in space, that is what they did before they made the pen.

There exists a common urban legend claiming that the Americans spent millions of dollars developing the Space Pen, and the Russians used ordinary graphite pencil.[1] Russian cosmonauts in fact used grease pencils on plastic slates until also adopting the space pen in 1969 with a purchase of 100 units for use on all future missions. [2] NASA programs previously used pencils (for example a 1965 order of mechanical pencils[1]) but because of the danger that a broken-off pencil tip poses in zero gravity and the flammable nature of the wood present in pencils[1] a better solution was needed. NASA never approached Paul Fisher to develop a pen, nor did Fisher receive any government funding for the pen’s development. Fisher invented it independently, and then asked NASA to try it. After the introduction of the AG7 Space Pen, both the American and Soviet (later Russian) space agencies adopted it.

2.Working of a 4 stroke engine?

Bhrummm…bhurmmm bhurmmmm. Really? this is the first joke you crack when you enter an engineering college

3. Do you have any idea who I am ?

The movie copied this ad in the movie

The movie was not funny.

I will count out the bits where I laughed.

The scene with the dogs named a kilo bit , mega bit and giga bit,that was genuine joke . I cannot think of any more….

O wait…. I know… Hmmm the one where kareena says “Why Gujjus name their food so dangerous ?”

And I think that is it.

O please, chatur’s balatkar speach was pathetic… I was twitching in my seat. But apparently I was the only one in the hall twitching and crumbling

I really thought this was a insult to my intelligence.

My friend Sameer dev did have the opinion that this was the best movie ever….what does he know… he almost  got me killed an he is a economist and a Amir khan fan boy.

I will tell that Rang de Basanti was a nice movie which had a social message and was some what funny and genuine.

How the hell is the movie supposed to be in connection with Engineers.?

In what way and in what universe?

If you want a movie which relates to academic and engineering  then see  “A beautiful mind

A little bit about the protagonist  of the movie John Nash

Or  “The big bang theory”

Try watching this

Schrodinger’s cat  from the series “The Big bang theory”

and read the wiki article on it here

Now this was both educational and funny, Wouldn’t you agree??

But No…. Amir khan was a exceptionally great dude who could make final year project in his first semester itself, break doors with one hand, has the knowledge of good will of a saint, give parenting lectures, Child mortality rate, suicide rates in India, can bring the dead back to life  etc.

We were all expecting the story of the book rather than a moral science lesson from Amir khan

Well none the less with all of Amir Khans trips and hypes all over the country he did manage to pull of the biggest hits of the century, and thanks of his image  no one dared to speak against the movie.


Amair Khan Promoting the movie

Now he is in banaras

Sachin Promoting the movie

But I am a man who appreciates talent ( Or so I have been brought up to think) I will give amir credit where it is due..

this was one of the best marketed films. A medocare film made hit with a excellent marketing.

Great going Amir!

But the movie was not as good as hyped by the media.

Blackberry continued

Continued from Blackberry my precious

Finding a carrier for blackberry in Australia.

The main functions of a blackberry are the unlimited free email service and the internet browsing experience.

Now both of these are dependent on carrier and the plan you are in.

After a lot of beating around the bush in Australia, I found out that there is a plan on three which allows  business people who  come into Australia for short periods of time to take a postpaid blackberry plan with all the goodies included. Sorry no prepaid here

  1. Free unlimited blackberry email
  2. Free unlimited blackberry internet
  3. and $350 worth of calling

this cap is called the business cap

http://www.three.com.au/pricing?mod=MobilePlans&planType=New%20Caps&planName=$35%20Cap

Click here and check the “sim only” plan with $35 plan.

You get free unlimited blackberry internet along  with $350 of calling value. Its as good as it gets I guess.

Blackberry and an Iphone

Many people tell me that an Apple Ipod is way way better than a Blackberry.

How can you even compare them….Blackberry is for business people who have to be  email all the time and replying to emails.

The Blackberry physical keyboard is the best there is …typing on it is like typing on a real keyboard and the Pushmail service makes it being on a messenger.

Now iphone is nothing like that.

Of course you have a Pushmail service in Iphone, they are a paid service they cost some where from $150 a year

http://www.apple.com/mobileme/pricing/

and they are not that good. At that price you can buy a new apple hardware product every 3rd year.

There is one thing that i will give to apple which is the app store. it has million and billions of apps.

Though  Blackberry does not have so many apps in its store but you will find an app for pretty much anything you want.

And did you know that anything before iphone 4 does not have multi tasking  ( no music and web browsing at the same time)…I mean what the hell, my 4 year old Moto razer had multi tasking!!!! it also had video calling,,,I ve never used video calling  in it though…it is a redundant feature…. would you not use Google talk to video call for free rather than use an expensive video call.

Google for Blackberry

You will find  google has a host of apps which you will love

http://www.google.com/mobile/blackberry/

There is a Twitter app, Facebook app and a Foursquare app.

If you get a Blackberry I am pretty sure you will love it.

But do keep in mind that a Blackberry is meant to be used in a 3G environment and not a GPRS environment.

My Blackberry…My precious!!!

My precious

Well this is what I have been after I have laid my hand on my Blackberry Bold  9000.

My sister brought this when she was in India, her plans changed and she moved back from where she came ( No not hell ). As she had brought this Blackberry back in India it was locked to Airtel.The blackberry did not work for her in America.

My Nokia n79 had a problem with the motherboard and the wiring went poof. But I must say that in spite my prejudice for it , it had performed pretty well, The push mail service was okay, there were a few apps in the app store and the OVI suite is apparently the best in its class. I can send a SMS from my computer by plugging in the cellphone. How neat is that.? Well it was a  bit slow but well you cannot expect to get every thing right int he first go do you ?

Now coming back to the Blackberry Bold.

The first thing you realize when you first lay your hands on this baby is that it is fucking bold.

The display is relay really bright… and hence the name Bold. This  one is a keeper. You can use it under the 12 pm sun with out a hitch.

They have squeezed twice the number of pixels that are required on the same amount of screen and hence the powerful display.

Unlocking the Blackberry from Airtel

Well all blackberries in India are locked to the respective carriers.

I do not exactly know why but they have some kind of a security issue with it.It is easier to track down your BB if some one steals it.

This is how you go about it

You will need to write them (Airtel)  an email telling them that you cannot use the Blackberry with them as your dog died or grandma is sick, it doe not really matter. A cellphone carrier in India cannot keep a cellphone locked to himself, Its against the rules refer  TRAI guidelines.

I, for example gave this

Subject: Blackberry In Australia

Hello,

I am in Tejaswy.I live in Perth Australia.Recently when I was in India for diwali my dad gave me a blackberry from Airtel.Now this phone worked well for the few days I stayed in dehi.Now due to some unfortunate unforeseen circumstance I had to move back to Perth and I will be staying here for another few years.
Now when I insert my local sim “3″  it shows as the Blackberry is locked to the AIRTEL.  <—insert anything here

I took it to “3″ shop near by they asked me to write an email to you asking the blackberry unlocking procedure and the unlock pin.

If you could please send me the Blackberry unlocking pin and the procedure I will be very grateful to you

Regards

Tejaswy

For which  they replied  in affirmation asking my IMEI number and BB pin.

I gave it to them and they sent me an email in a matter of hours telling me how to unlock my Blackberry.

Now that is what I call a satisfied customer.

My precious…

Blackberry is like a drug..you get addicted to it.And I am not kidding. the people at crack berry will tell you better.

The ability to read e-mail that is received in real time, anywhere, has made the BlackBerry devices infamously addictive, earning them the nickname “CrackBerry“, a reference to the freebase form of cocaine known as crack, which is also highly addictive

And really it is.

There is  chat program called the Blackberry Messenger, This little tool lets you communicate to anyone in the world if he/she has a Blackberry cellphone, for free! How handy is that!!

You really need to use this  to experience the addiction.

Anyone who owns a Blackberry will never move to any other phone. He just cannot. Every other phone will feel mundane to him.

Will he move to an Iphone?

You got to be kidding me!

No way.

And O there is an App Store too.

My love my heart, My preccccccious!!!!

Due to all this above reasons, I am calling it Precious….My precious!
