Welcome or Taare Zameen Par

I am not really a movie buff but after sitting and watching two movies over the week, it was more than necessary to write about it. The first movie I saw was "Taare Zameen Par" and the second was Welcome. Both are bollywood movies but both were the exact opposite of each other. I enjoyed watching Taare Zameen Par 'cause of the way the story was and also the music was pleasing. The second movie Welcome was a train wreak at best. It was a torture to watch that pathetic movie, and it just made me question if I had lost my sense of humor. Many people seemed to enjoy the movie but I felt it was completely mindless. Not that I was looking for something earth shattering the whole movie made little or no sense.

There was hardly any plot to speak of. It was like stringing half a dozen unfunny situations together and presenting it as a movie. I have watched a few movies over the last few months that really make me question my sense of humor. Have I really lost it, or are these movie really just beyond senseless.

Yup you have lost it! Having seen the trailors you should have guessed the storyline (or the absence of it).

Yeah! I knew it was mindless but never thought it would be torture. I just watched Sunday it was mindless but I found it funny.

The best mobile development platform for hobbyist programmer

This is something I have been thinking for a while so here it goes. This is a list of platforms I know of and my choice of what makes sense for a hobbyist programmer like me. Let me first list down all the possible platforms and then list down the pros and cons that I feel are associated with each platform. Java ME (The platform formally known as J2ME) Windows Mobile Linux Palm Brew Symbian Blackberry iPhone iPhone Let me start with iPhone the darling of the media and blogger's till about a fortnight. I had real expectations from iPhone as a platform but the way its been going so far I would never bother developing for it. Officially there is no SDK with which one can build applications. What ever tools the community had built have been rendered useless with the iPhone 1.1.1 software upgrade . The community might be able to hack a version for 1.1.1 but without any support from almighty apple its just a cat and mouse game. With every minor release the applications

Airtel 16Mbps for Impatient Ones

This advert can be the summed as the best in terms of making fun of the impatient ones. The new Airtel broadband is 16 Mbps but with a slight hitch. At Rs. 2999/- with a Data Transfer Limit of just 20 GB. Just listening to a few hours of music videos on Youtube should be enough to exhaust the limit in no time. Thinking of downloading torrents is something one should not even think about. Not sure who Airtel is targeting with this plan. If you bought this plan do leave a comment.
