Hotel door hacking and how to protect against it ...

Something one needs to be aware of when the doors in use are electronic doors. If you try to open the video on youtube, it says that the video is unsuitable for minors and asks you to login with your gmail account to watch it. That doesn't make sense, kids below 18 should be aware of the attacks and how to protect themselves. Understanding the attack itself will allow the viewer to think of more than one way of protecting themselves and understanding the risks.

March me some place else. :)

This one is definitely worth a watch :-)

Left leg aage agee..

This movie has really good songs. Have seen songs that teach dance steps as a song sequence in English but this should be a first in mainstream Hindi cinema done in style. It couldn't be more hilarious :)

Peer pressure

I still remember how over hyped the movie Dark Knight(Batman series) was. Even worse, I was furious that it topped the imdb.com charts for many consecutive weeks dethroning my all time favorite Shawshank redemption. It took a long time before common sense prevailed and settled at the #8 spot. The same goes with Aamir Khan's new movie '3 idiots'. So rightly named! I just became the 4th idiot watching it.
I remember during under-graduation, students recommending study books that were too difficult to follow and claim they were excellent books to read and recommend it to fellow students, who would buy it and in turn do the same.

How about magazines that promotes and sells new things/ideas. Is a magazine equivalent to peer pressure? Do we feel tempted to think the way the magazine thinks and buy what the magazine says. I think so. What is your take on it?

Shirt sense

Deciding what shirt to buy has never been my strong point. Imagine sifting through  the hundreds of shirts stacked on the racks. It is easier to decide when they hang the shirt on a hanger at the shop. It sometimes gives an idea on how it might look on me. The best however is to buy shirts displayed on the dummy and this is exactly what I have been doing.. I even bought a few jeans after seeing them on dummies (and ofcourse trying it out). Buying clothes is  5% common sense and 95%  'dummy' sense for me :)

Daredevil

There was no safety net and if i remember correct, no safety string attached either. Another one in chennai by a performing foreign lady artist.

Unicorn and glass art

From the Sony digital camera. Both shots at different malls in Chennai. The unicorn was kind enough to pose for the camera before it flew away:)

Time to break the jinx. That's me at a camera shop taken on my friend's new Samsung Star. I got myself a Sony Cybershot-looks good for point and click. It however doesn't support win2000 and cannot run the installation CD. Its going to be a while before some of the images could be posted.

Hindi Melodrama

There is nothing as beautiful as Hindi melodrama, the main reason I love watching Hindi movies so much. It leaves me with a sense of satisfaction. The sheer energy, color and drama and songs that go in are amazing. Hindi movies is proof that you don't need a real script to make a beautiful movie. It doesn't matter how Sharukhan shifts from his Punjab power attire to macho man and how is wife doesn't recognize this and thinks that they are two separate people! But in the end who cares? Hindi movies aren't about intelligence. It serves its purpose very well- not only take you on an emotional roller coaster but leaves you with a sense of happiness and awakening in the end. The above song is standing testimony of this case.

More news on my computer

I am trying to shake is my laziness. My mouse(at lab) had a problem for nearly 8 months. Sometimes you would have to click 3-4 times unless you are really professional and know the exact spot where the click translates on the monitor. Finally, I went up today and asked for a mouse and got a new fully functional mouse. My Firefox browser crashed yesterday. Tried to uninstall and reinstall but with no success. Finally, shifted to Opera browser. Now, I have a brand new mouse and brand new browser.

After typing all this, i wonder why any of this is going to be of any interest to anyone :-)
