Over time I find that I spend more time reading blogs than writing. (Thanks to Google Reader)

This coupled with a hectic work life - ya for once work is looking up and everyday morning I am waking up looking forward to the new day....quite a change - I hardly find time to update this blog.

So, I have thought instead of letting this blog die a natural death, I will update this with trivia. My first love.

Here is the promise, atleast once a week, I will upload 5 trivia questions. Answers can be left in the comments. And the correct answers will be uploaded next day. Lets see if this lasts.

The Ech Aar Manager in knots.....

Yup, finally after years of courtship the knot gets tied. And from The Ech Aar Manager, it is going to become, The Ech Aar Managers, and hopefully....the Ech Aar Family......quite like the Addams Family....

Anyway....that also explains the long break from blogging.....hopefully now with more "free" time, shall start again....

Up yours NDTV......

NDTV....and more precisely the great Ms. B. Dutt have decided that since they cant do a proper job of reporting, they shall behave like the R Sena and the S Sena and beat up anyone who point out their mistake. Aside: Try explanining to RT or BT that their take on Marathi Manoos and Valentines day is against the Fundamental Rights of the Citizens. So here it is. Reproducing Mr. Kunte's blog word for word. Let NDTV know, that if you believe in the freedom of press, if you believe in the power of your reach, you should also know that with great power comes great responsibility.

To the lawyers of NDTV, look up Article 19 of the Indian Constitution.


[Update] looks like quoting the post might lead to more trouble for Mr. Kunte. For interested people here is the Google’s cache of the post (scroll to the very bottom)
