Avatars of Billa Tokri |
Meet Billa Tokri, a prime crime suspect in many forgery, fraud and theft cases. (Hehe… a fictitious character for blogging purpose only. I don’t know any such criminal… lol!).
With Hrithink Roshan making dhoom in Dhoom 2 with his various disguises, why shouldn’t Billa Tokri? ;)
Ultimate Flash Face - an online tool which gives you everything that you will need to sketch any face. You can style your sketch with different hair, eyes, eyebrows, glasses, moustaches, etc. The site also gives you an option to save or print your final sketch.
Ok did I forget Billa Tokri? Haha nah! Bald and clean shaven, this is how he looks like:
So by maintaining face elements like head, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and jaw and varying only hair, glasses, moustache and beard in the software I managed some pretty good disguises for this guy! Check out his new avatars… The police are still on the chase… ;)

Aakhir kab aayega India??? |
Yet another series… yet another poor show by Indian batsmen (or should I say NO SHOW?) Chasing a competitive target of 249, India could not even bat for 30 overs and were bowled out for just about 36% of the runs required :(
Here is the Indian batting score card of the second one dayer just over:
I do not have much complains with the not so great bowling, countless instances of misfields India has been into… but the miserable state of their batiing, no excuses whatsoever.
Guys atleast play for the money that you will earn from commercials! (which will come your way only if you play good). Whats the point in boasting your cricketing potential in stupid commercials?

Amitabh Smokes for Anchor |
They call him to Inaugurate IFFI 2005, then change their mind succumbing to political pressures and here he is back this year for IFFI 2006 quite not registering his likes or dislikes.
Amitabh Bachchan has again been put in the dock as he is summoned on 29th November by the Panaji court here in Goa for alleged violation of anti-tobacco laws. An NGO here filed a case against him. The NGO has alleged that he violated anti-tobacco laws by appearing in an advertisement of Anchor Daewoo India which featured a photograph of him with a cigar from the film Family.
The film was released in Jan 06 after the law banning smoking in films active from Oct 05. And I remember Amitabh had then issued a public apology for smoking in the film. Though he dsnt in his real life.
Hmm… the hoardings seem to have been put up all along the highway from Margao to Mapusa. I hvnt got a chance to go out and see though. With preparations for the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in the final phase here in Goa, and which is to begin tomorrow, fans of Amitabh will surely be lined up at the high court here to have a glimpse of their so dear superstar! I wish I could also be there… But Uh! Sem exams starting the next day!
I do accept that having any scene of an actor smoking should be left upto the creative independence of the film director. Ask filmmakers how suffocating it is otherwise. But using the film stills for marketing other commercial products like in this case is certainly what should be brought to the court’s notice.
As if Mr.Amitabh Bachchan didnt have any other photographs to be put up for the ad hording???!!! And in what way does Amitabh’s smoking endorse Anchor Daewoo’s electronic appliances?
Smoking kills!!! And we really can’t make it out to be a ‘cool dude thing’.
All I can say is good work NGO!

Adobe back in Abode |
Sorry for the misleading title…
News is that, the police have rescued Adobe CEO Naresh Gupta’s kidnapped son Anant Gupta. On this last Monday, three-year-old Anant was kidnapped by two motorcycle-borne youth while waiting for his school bus with his maid. After the 56-hour-long operation launched by the police he is safe today! My good wishes with him and his family:
You can read the latest story here: FULL STORY
The irony is that hundreds of other kidnapping cases still lie pending just because the kidnapped were not a son or daughter or relative of an Adobe CEO or may be any other multinational company for that matter.

Vande Mataram |
Yes today is not a 15th of August, or 26th of Jan and certainly there hasnt been any controversy in news over the Vande Mataram lyrics. Sadly so, most of us would bow to our motherland only on these few occasions.
You wont hug your Mom only on a Mother’s Day or care for your Dad only on a Father’s Day. Then why do people have these limitations to express their love towards the country? So anyday anytime say it with pride… Vande Mataram!
Here are a few versions of the song Vande Mataram. The ones by Lata Mangeshkar and by A.R. Rehman are one of the classic video and music compositions I have ever seen or heard. Yeah the K3G version is also very appealing.

Poem: Andha Gawah |
I started this blog, thinking that my poetry would be a regular feature here. But guess I got hooked up to writing on too many other interesting issues. Its been real long that I have composed some good poetry, I usually come up with small little shayaris here and there…
Well this one in particular is one of my more favourite compositions. One of the few last poems I wrote right back in my 12th… Today, engineering has certainly killed the poet in me! No complains… atleast I have this blog where I can post a few from the past, and will surely do. I know most of my friends are going to hate me for this! Lol! ;)
INTRO: The poem is a circasm on the present state and attitude of the society. The society following a false interpretation of Gandhiji’s thoughts… prefers to be silent, deaf and blind over the wrong doings. Often tagging their inaction as ‘helplessness’, the truth is that people today smartly elude their responsibilty of social reform for their own selfish reasons.

Yellow Yellow Dirty Fellow |
There certainly is a lot more to this title than just the rhyme…The Australian team has yet again ‘showcased’ their rude and arrogant behaviour along with the Champions trophy they bagged after beating the Windies by eight wickets. A welcome win that has certainly come after a long five attempts but has brought along bad taste to the event.
On this sunday, during the prize distribution ceremony of the Champions Trophy, I guess the Australians were too excited and overjoyed to realise whos-who. They certainly forgot that they were the ambassadors of their country, representing it here in India and that Mr. Sharad Pawar was the top official of the BCCI here in India. Sharad Pawar much a political man, might have preferred to do what comes naturally to politicians - being diplomatic, at this by overlooking the act. But it deserves a strong frown to convey the Ausies that they have done the wrong.
What happened???: Ricky Ponting was too excited about getting the trophy, so he taps the shoulders of BCCI president Sharad Pawar and gestures to present the trophy. (Bah! May be suggesting that… Indians didn’t deserve it. We never said we did.) Then he pushes him aside for the photoshoot with the trophy. Damien Martyn joined the party too. He also nudged Sharad Pawar to move off-stage. Poor guy confused… found it even difficult to move around the mess, and finally moved away from the stage after being pushed off disrespectfully by Damien Martyn.
Watch the video:
How bad an example for budding cricketers to follow. If this is what Champions do, thank god India dosn’t figure out there. As a cricketer you should be a gentleman. You should know how to behave on-field as well as off-field. I still remember and appreciate Steve Waugh. What a gentleman he was. Not like these crazy immature freaks who do not know how to respect the elders.
Some might really tag it as “a blasphemous and racist act” while others might want to call it “making mountain of a molehill”. But to me this is yet another boorish behaviour that the present Australian Team has showcased. Thanks for letting us know that we are looking upto an uncilivilised and looks like even illiterate champions. Anyways, now that Ricky Ponting has showed an intent to apologise for the act it might turn down a little of the flak they have received from the Indian Media.
But believe me… winning has gone into the nuts of these nuts! Oh I mean brains of these nuts! ;) How analogous in their case otherwise…
Here are a couple of pics of what happened.
a) Ponting gesturing at Sharad Pawar to give the trophy.
b) Damien Martin pushing Sharad pawar off the stage.
