Kya ho raha hai mujhe???!!! Tomorrow a brand new year begins… and I dont have any excitement or energy oozing outta me to plan for the new things to come… Clean my room and desk as I used to do when I was a kid. Help my sis in her small home party preps (I am NOT a sexist, but i dont think guys should be doing that).

And for all those who would prefer not to join, atleast do a favour… dont tell my clients that I have been sleeping like a log past a day. I had some pending work that I was to finish yesterday. And now I have kept it for the next year! :) Lol!

Yesterday, 30^th Dec 06 marked the end of Saddam Hussein and tomorrow 1^st Jan 07 marks a new beginning of a new year. I am sure you know, this post is not here to talk about the jubilation and jovial moods set for year 2007 but certainly about the much talked about execution of the former President of Iraq Saddam Hussein. And there is much more to him than just the former President of Iraq for which he has been executed today.

Some might believe that Saddam’s Execution was a vengeance and not justice. For the Sunni Saddam followers it might be a time to dim into sorrow and for the Shias a time to resurrect out of their ashes of the barbaric regime that they have been tormented into for years now! For the Bush it may be a dream come true and for the Anti-Bush another shameful act by America after the invasion of Iraq in search for weapons of mass destruction that they never found… Not joining this debate, the Indian politics plays its cards safe. They call it an “unfortunate event”, “disappointed over the incident”, and yes some take this chance to draw mileage and tag it as “an anti-muslim act” too… (more…)

So how do you know if your blog is getting popular??? :D

• By the number of daily unique visitors your blog receives?
• Number of hits?
• Number of Returning visitors?
• Avg. Length of visit of the visitors?
• Or yea my fav the number of comments your blog receives?
• May be even PR of your blog will do to be counted in as one determining factor.

While all above hold good… let me add one more in: Number of spams your blog receives daily… :lol: (Hehe… you can bet this one comes out of frustration).

I just logged in into my Spam Karma control panel in wordpress.. and whoa! in last 24 hours 98 spams caught!!! :P Missed a century by 2 :( So how popular is your blog? :lol:
It really sux to regularly take the time out to delete all the spams caught and yet scan for some genuine comments that might have gone down the line… I think I better install some math plugin or captcha image to avoid all those spams.. So how much can I trust your math dear commenters? ;) (Hehe dont worry it will be simple numerical addition…lol!)

I could bet this one was a joke anytime, but with the year 2007 already been declared as the ‘Year of Broadband’, there is surely some juice in this news. First got to know from a friend about BSNL’s broadband upgrade to 2Mbps. At first go I didnt believe and thought it was just another rumour. But when I googled, I found a hell lotta news on it (though as usual, no announcement on BSNL’s website). Its been about 10 days that media has covered this news. I gotta accept I am just not into reading news for the past couple of weeks. Also Technorati shows a number of bloggers blogging about it. M late!

Ok so let me not take you for a ride and lets come to the point. So whats there in for us? I called up BSNL and this is the kinda info that their customer service gave me: (more…)

Heck! Right from yesterday evening I have been trying to login to my rediff email account… :( Looks like those guys are working on some update. But its seriously too long a period for an email service to go offline like this… Its already shooting up to reach 24 hours now.

I was expecting some important business mail and another urgent email. Its really frustrating to see the ‘Service temporarily unavailable :(‘ page right there on logon…

Only God and Rediff knows wats the problem. I dont think it is a service update or upgrade thats causing the delay to restore things back to normal. Its a common practice to pilot test such updates and the service should have been back online in an hour or so. May be its some network or hardware failure/upgrade thats taking this much time.

I think such email services should have their official blogs to keep their subscribers updated of the latest with them. Whatever.. I am still sulking… I wish I had given my regular business email for the urgent commuinication. :(
