Oh Dear Yahooooo - why dont u Improve !!!
Sunday, December 31, 2006
To start off with I was given a "co.in" ID which, at that time, went against the preferred ".com" ones. I remember once or twice (or maybe more than that) I tried to change it but in vain. Why you may ask. Because Yahoo servers are probably down 90% of the time. What else would explain a weeks time just to receive emails?? Oh yeah - there were times when I had to wait at least a week to receive emails !!! A friend of mine sent me one like early last week and am still awaiting its holy presence in my Inbox. The only way I could figure out that he had sent me one was by logging into my Yahoo Groups account.
One Week?? Are you kidding me ? Snail mails travel much faster. Hell you can send postal mails in 4 days around the globe - via airmail. If you opt for a courier service or an expedited service you can get it at the destination in 2 days or so. Why then does it take days and days for Emails to get delivered ? I've come to know the those who have a ".com " address apparently don't have this issue at all. Does that mean that I have to suffer this until and unless I open up a new account portraying myself to be residing in US (which I do now but not back in 95) ??
Pull up your socks Yahoo. You guys would very well be aware of the competition you're getting out there from other service providers. Some people, like me, just hang in there 'cause of the level of patience we have. One fine day you would realize that you don't need all that hardware, all those servers, all those offices in them high risers around the globe - because there won't be any more users accessing your services.

Cricket Crazy India, Ad Crazy Players
Thursday, December 28, 2006
Wont be coming as a surprise to most of you out there. If you follow the game of cricket you would definitely know that India is a cricket crazy nation. People Eat cricket, Drink cricket, Sleep cricket, Live Cricket out there.
Turns out that our wicketkeeper-batsman M.S Dhoni scored the max. in 2006 when it comes to advertisements. He was the player endorsing the largest number of brands and appeared in TV ads for as many as 23 brands in 2006, beating 10dulkar and Rahul - 17 each.
In terms of the most appearances on an Indian television, its Dhoni again. Between January and November , Dhoni has appeared for almost 12 lakh seconds in TV ads. Holly macro, thats like 1 hour every day throughout the year !!!! What an achievement. Atta Boy-Dhoni ! Tennis star Sania Mirza with 8.4 lakh seconds is the runner up beating the Captain and Sachin.
धोनी - अगर उतना वक्त आप प्रशीक्षण् मै बिताते तो शायद् ....

- 2006 has been pretty hectic (@ work) so far.
- "And, oh, by the way, Mr. Prime Minister, the United States is looking forward to eating Indian Mangoes.
- Mark Twain probably was correct when he said, and I quote, "April 1st: This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three-hundred and sixty-four."
- I don't know when did I decide, but here I was repenting over my decision to watch some Bollywood movies over the WE ;
- Vending machines at workplace are a topic of debate, always.
- There are times when you find yourself at a juncture where an unknown force takes over your predetermined notions.
- Ongoing rift in the Middle East is getting worse.
- It was year 1965 when US astrounaut Ed White lost a spare glove when he went outside his spaceship for the first time.
- Find myself in NYC this weekend ;) didnt quite enjoy the Hound ride though.
- No, this post is not in relation to what agent Fox Mulder used to say.
- No, this chap wont learn. (Bart Simpson)
