Off Tech - Mangal Pandey - A Great Movie of our Times

Off a blog i stumbled on

"I saw "Mangal Pandey" yesterday in the evening. I came to realize that there is nothing stronger than religious feeling. Not even patriotism or the "India" feeling. I think if the cartridge wasn't greased with animal fat, he wouldn't question his superiors. He would have kept serving the British Empire if this issue hadn't come up. He questioned the British when his religious feelings were hurt, not because his fellow countrymen became slaves of the empire."

Well I think to a certain level what this gentleman says is right, but to a certain level no. The movie showed what happened, every individual has their feelings. Mangal, the guy in the movie has a clear goal on what the "Company" is all about. He questions his friend, he questions people, but yes, Religion played a larger role. I believe what was important was the collective thought, the opperesion was there, religion triggered it.

Battles fought over religion are never won, they are always lost. Oppression, now that is what one needs to fight about. I believe, today we are again going to the old times fighting over religion, we are not oppressed people, but jealous people, it's have's and have nots. I think one needs to clearly define..

My dear friend from an unknown blog I stumbled on. I like your thought, but I feel that it was quite contrary.

After we finished the movie (Well during the movie only) I heard a lot of people say, why glorify Mangal Pandey, after all who was he. I think Ketan Mehta has done a great job in showing that a collective group, can pull off anything. Whether that is a fight against oppression, or to stand up against it. They did it, he did it.. whether it was true or fiction.. the portrayal and the lesson learnt is larger.

A great movie. If you have not seen it, you are missing something large. Go down.. and enjoy.

3 Steps to Choosing the Right Digital Camera

Aren't digital cameras a mainstream toy now, no more a geek toy. I remember when I bought my first Mavica from Sony, It costed me a bomb and could do only 640x480 pixels, the term Megapixels was not even coined as yet. But now, choosing the right camera is becoming more of a task rather than a breeze, because of the number of options available. My take on the right camera to buy and what to look for in the Express Money, on 22nd August 2005, with the Indian Express Countrywide.

For those of you who don't get the paper, see this for the online edition.

What is the Real cost of a Sub 10K PC ?

My latest article in the indian Express, explains the mathematics on what you need in a PC and what the sub 10k Pc really costs you at the end of the day.

Online Edition: Express Money, August 7th 2005
Print Edition: Mondays with the Indian Express in the Express Money supplement.

Bring a Glow to your Face :)

If you are like me, and have worked in a dark room at night, at times to fumble for a key, well, the Think Light on my IBM has helped, and the add on light I had for my Dell, though a drain on the battery was good, to help. But what better than the oled (Organic LED) keyboard from artlebedev.






The OLED format is new, and gives a lot of flexibilities, and I love the product. This keyboard can be customised as per your application and or your language, and has pixel based display on each key, to change the keyboard, and for those who have salivated for the DAS Keyboard from think geek, well this is your next dream.

More photos' and details at www.artlebedev.com (I dont know.. how much they are selling this for), though this is currently on the top of my wishlist

How Powerful is Google !!

I have always depended on it. Yes it's true, It's fast and It's helpful. That is only if you know how to use it. Now I believe a lot of you will know, that how I know everything. Well I don't, I google :)

A Great Article on CNET tells you about how 30 Minutes on Google, can help you find out Information on anyone. Yes.. Anyone who has been online, or has been a little public with some information. Though Google is not talking to CNET anymore because of this article, and I believe if they review my blog, they may want to shut me down, but JIC, see this.. I believe it showcases the real power of Google. It is a search engine, and if you know how to use it.. you can really get a lot more information that from the library down the road.
