I was expecting probation kind of thing for him but he was sentenced 6 year jail. I think 6 year jail is bit too much for him as he was already given jail term for 2.5 1.5 years and court should also see his current track record. I know that he has committed the crime but he has learnt his lesson and now he is on good path.

Note: This article is written by one of the blog readers, now a friend 
Nita Deb. She is a freelancer / writer and currently writes for Times of India, Westside Plus and Bandra Khar Plus. This article was published in Bandra Khar Plus approximately 2 weeks back.
The article is mainly related to the behavior of rickshawalahs in Mumbai. I have also posted something on the same lines here. But my article covers more about rules and ways to complaint against these guys.
Couple of more things: Amar is Nita’s Husband and Ashok is the name of her 7 year old son. (These names have been mentioned in the article)
Last personal note: haha, yea this one is last.. everyone must read this article. just excellent piece of write-up

A final goodbye to my broken xbox 360 which I had purchased in November 2006.
Earlier, it was causing red lights issue when it was in India (along with the DVD drive issue) but when I sent to US, it worked fine without any red light issues, though DVD drive problem was still there. My cousin tested the stuff there and we finally decided to sell it off on Ebay rather than spending money on repairs.
We had started the auction a week back. It started with 25 USD and people started bidding for 26 and 27 USD. Since, today was the last day, few more people started bidding. Finally it got stuck at 86 USD. The real bidding started when there were around 2-3 minutes remaining to end. So finally, it ended at 152.50 USD I sold following items with the console:
- XBOX 360 System without the Hard Disk and Remote
- Power Adapter / Cable
- Video / Audio Cables
- Gears of War Game CD
- Need for Speed Carbon Game CD
The retail cost for above will be around 350 USD approximately, so I think 150 is a pretty good deal, considering it is not working well
I have kept the hard disk and wireless controller. I will use the same in my Indian core console. (Which I am going to buy within a month or so)
So finally, this was my final goodbye to my lovely xbox 360 console, which I loved like anything.
Microsoft, I am coming to buy the new one haha
Yes Yes, I know too many things in the title. Basically I want to cover all these shitty things in one post haha..
Let’s start with Tata Sky - I got Tata Sky connections at my home, the clarity is superb, sound is superb.. infact everything is superb except the fact that, it can’t work in heavy rains. Once it starts raining heavily, the signal on the box goes off. Stupid call center engineers at Tata Sky are just useless. They just reply saying, we know there is a problem and our engineers are fixing it. When I asked them, when it will be fixed, their answer is, sir, we can’t tell you that. But I know the answer, it will be fixed once the rainy season is over haha Bunch of fools try to run the business.
Hutch Network - Apart from looting the customers, hutch seem to be pretty good. Their mobile network is pretty good but when it starts raining, the network starts causing the problem. You can’t call anyone, if you want to SMS someone, you have to try more than 3-4 times. Many times, it catches frequency of some tower which is pretty far away from your place and then, you have to stick to one place, in one single position, if you wish to call. Once you move, you are gone. The voice starts cracking and phone might gets disconnected.
BMC - haha, this has become a really funny thing. Every year they claim that they are doing something but nothing happens. Government gives them huge sum of money, they use that money for their personal purpose. For public, only fraction of the amount is used. And this results into, a BIG MESS. Water till knee height on the streets, traffic jams, roads full of potholes. According to BMC, there are only 25 potholes left to be fixed. But for some reason I just counted 100 potholes on street joining my apartment. Infact, there is no road remaining, it is full of potholes.
I really don’t understand this logic, these sarkari babus, they know that, their homes are running with the money that people pay in the form of taxes but they don’t want to give anything in return. All bloody bastards.
Aaah, I guess, I should stop cursing the government. It’s not gonna of any use.
So, the point is, be it Tata Sky or Hutch, they charge us a bomb, we pay them whatever amount they ask but in return, they can’t provide a proper service. I can understand if things stop working once, twice, thrice but here, it just doesn’t work always. (at the time of heavy rains ofcourse)
Oh god, we need a revolution.
