I found out about this yesterday when I was searching some product on Indiatimes Shopping website. It is very common security problem, it is basically a mistake in the coding part. It is called as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

I have informed Indiatimes about it but till now I haven’t got any response from them :(

What is this security hole all about?
In simple words, a person can ask you to click on the link and once you click on it, he can do whatever he wants…he can show Login Page or page asking for credit card details…

And once you enter the details..everything will be mail to him…infact he may try to do lot more than that..he may try to exploit the loopholes in your system…

I have submitted this to BugTraq also…

Wanna read technical Details? Sure…thing..click on “More” link…

It seems that I have to deal with these people every other day for some or other reasons.
I had bad experiences with ICICI customer support earlier but I just used to ignore it…coz sometimes it happens..

I wanted to apply for a credit card 6-7 months back…As I already have account with them so I just called them up and asked for credit card eligibility…They took all my details and told me that their sales representative would call me up…2 days, 3, days, 1 week….no one cared to call me back…I called them up again couple of times, I got same response…

Finally I got fed up with them, called up HSBC…their person called me back in a day and I finally got a credit card after providing all the required documents and all…

Few months after that I got a call from ICICI so called “Sales Representative”, asking “Sir do you need a credit card? We will give you 1 year for free, no service charges” I was like, dude just f**k off. When I needed the credit card none of you guys called me up and when I have one, You are asking me to have one more….

2nd Experience….
It is very recent experience, I want to apply for a personal loan so I just called up ICICI People first as I have 2 accounts with them (Savings and Current Account - For my Company).

I was expecting that there should not be any problem in getting loan from them since I already have 2 accounts with them and enough work experience…

So just called them up…

I watched the movie One Dollar Curry last night..The main reason behind this post title “1 Dollar Curry & 3 Dollar Ticket” is; after watching movie I have been thinking that…

If i get a chance, I should buy a cup of curry for $1 (Will get 3 cups for $3) or spend my 3 dollars on movie “1 Dollar Curry” .

Nah, I would definitely buy 3 cups for curry. Hope you got what I meant to say… ;)

Story?

Well nothing great in it, In all Desi movies they show that Indian guy trying to earn somehting in US and by saying truth he doesn’t get anything and he lies, earns lot of money….so he keeps on lying to make some more money

And in between that lot of things happen…. Kamasutra Oil, Falling in love with Firangi, Indian girlfriend comes in between, Indian GF falls in love with (or may be more comfortable) Firangi producer, Firangi pal dies…Jail..lot of things…

Nothing great, the only different thing was, Instead of shooting the movie in US they shot in Paris…baki sab same

While watching the movie, I felt like…someone is trying his hands on new camera. The movie had few scenes which made me laugh but only few…

So in short, if you get two choices to spend money, then don’t spend money on watching this movie..

Did you notice it ?

I found it just now..
I was searching something on google and clicked on Definition link on the right…
and what? It went to Answers.com website instead of Dictionary.com

It seems Google kicked their old pal and made some new friends…or may be some other reason…

New things, new things…that’s what google is known for I suppose…

Btw i liked this answer.com, in dictionary.com whenver you click on “Hear Punctuation” it used to ask you to pay but here it’s all free :D

cheers

Hope you got what I meant to say :D
Watched movie Kisna last night, if the movie had only first half then the title of this post would have been “Kishaaaa”

First half of the movie was good enough..in other language “it was tolerable”…specially the rope dancer Isha Sharvani…she was pretty cool (Only dance…not talking about the acting part)….

I liked 3 things about the movie basically, first Isha Shrvani’s Dance, Music and Antonia Bernath :D

2nd Half of the movie is real real real bad…Everyone was crying in the end including me….The only difference was…People inside the movie were crying after listening to love story of Kisna (Vivek Oberoi) and Catherine (Antonia Bernath) and outside were crying saying “why the hell we came for this movie…we wasted our money” lol

It was housefull but people could not stay for long…almost half of the people left before the movie ends…

Infact that female Isha keeps showing her rope dance all the time…whether it is happy moment or sad but “Mein Toh Nachungi” (Oops Mein toh Latkungi…)

Whenver they used to show the trees in the movie..the first thing used to come in my mind that…now Isha will dance lol (She hangs on the trees using rope and dances)

And you know our Subhash uncle wanted to earn some more money from the movie…so he did the same trick like he did in Yaadein….Put ads in the movie….Aajtak, Zee News, Sahara…haha so many news channels…

I think I should stop now, btw if you watch the movie then do not miss the end…that’s the main climax..specially you will be thrilled to see Kisna’s Son and his wife Lakshami (our Rope Dancer)

cheers
