Bangkok's Independent Newspaper: "REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE: Living with Thainess? Excuse me?"

Interesting article. I can completely understand the mood of the writer and also hihgly impressed by refrain from using too many strong words.

To truly understand the modern day situation chaos in Thailand, one needs to actually come and live here in Thailand.

Naseeruddin Shah - The greatest actor alive- Movies: "Naseeruddin Shah - The greatest actor alive"

Thanks Sunanda for compiling this for the rest of India to read. Also if you wish to mention, do mention Naseeruddin's performance with Sean Connery in an English movie, personally I liked it, 'The League of Distinguish Gentlemen'

Your postman is now a BPO exec- The Times of India: "Your postman is now a BPO exec"

Way to Go Indian Post. Its more than time that Indian Postal service earn some serious money so that they can continue the fantastic job they are doing. I am really glad to hear that finally we as Indians are changing for good.

Shivaji would have been ashamed- The Times of India: "Thousands of images have been beamed around the country of the monsoon madness that’s unfolding in Mumbai."

Lack of self esteem on part of Indian people in general but particularly the Mumbaikar. We just don't seem to pride in what we are. We are governed by heartless and mindless idiots that we elect.

These politicians are there because we put them there. So I see no point in blaming them. I am also personally disappointed at radical coments given by the self proclaimed pseudo intellectuals. Presenting long analysis on national and local political conditions. Trying to convince the masses to find a reason and then blame it on something.

The real situation is very well stated by Mr Narayanswamy in this article. This article with Mr. Nandy's article, hope shakes up the Mumbaikar and decides to take some action. Demand respect from the politicians the rest of the nation. Enough of this being treated as non existing commuity collectively taken for granted, called Mumbaikar.

Mumbaikars! Demand, don't beg- The Times of India: "Mumbaikars are always in work mode -— even partying for most of them is serious work, schmoozing, building new business relationships and reaffirming old ones—and when that work mode is disrupted, as it was recently, they migrate to the blame mode. Blame the BMC. Blame Reliance Energy. Blame the chief minister."

For once, I definitely agree with Mr. Nandy. What Mumbaikar has lost and forgotten is the self esteem. Be proud to be the earning member of the large family and demand the respect you deserve. A proud Mumbaikar I am and will always be.

Friends, Here is something helarious I found on the net. Would love to share it with all.

Dear Software Engineer,

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the New program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the Product brochure. In addition, Wife
1.0 installs itself into all other Programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity.

Applications such as Smoking 10.3, Boozing 2.5 and Saturday Night Pubs 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications like Night Club 4.3, Dance 'n' Drunk 2.0 and Bachelor Party 7.77. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the UN-install does not work on this program. Once I tried to Uninstall Wife 1.0 but got this error "General Protection Fault(GPF) in module House Security. The UN- installation will abort." Can you help me?
Please!!!

Dear Desperate User,

Re: Upgrade from a girlfriend to a wife

This is a very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a Primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program.

Wife 1.0 is actually an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to Run Everything. It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to UN- install, delete, or Purge Wife 1.0 from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings-Alimony/Child Support" which was given to you at the time of registration with Wife 1.0. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section Regarding General Partnership Fault It' (GPFs).

The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\ POLOGIZE. In fact I would suggest you use this command every time Wife 1.0 Crashes on your system. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high Maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the Performance Of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0 or
Movies 4.5, which will improve the performance of Wife 1.0. Do not, under any Circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a Supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible Damage to the operating system.
