Weblog of Anirban Roy: August 15 – aazaadi shopping ki

http://banroy.blogspot.com/2008/08/august-15-independence-day-aazaadi.html

Weblog of Anirban Roy. Often written in anger but always when sober and never ever under duress. Saturday, August 16, 2008. August 15 – aazaadi shopping ki. Every August 15 you are reminded of the significance of the date. Reminded by the day's visual manifestation and the holiday you enjoy. Unfortunately with most, including yours truly, it is these ads that return more value than the sum total in raddi value of either the news or the news print. So till a few years back, before the dawn of 7/12 malls, ...

Weblog of Anirban Roy: September 2008

Weblog of Anirban Roy. Often written in anger but always when sober and never ever under duress. Thursday, September 4, 2008. News publishing and social media. Exciting to see so many news publishers active on social media sites. The power of community building and the instant feedback it provides offers a new tool to product managers and editors. But, the publishers must put a face to name and respond to the feedback. Posted by Anirban Roy. Wednesday, September 3, 2008. Posted by Anirban Roy.

Weblog of Anirban Roy. Often written in anger but always when sober and never ever under duress. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Serial bombings in India and Intelligence failure? 24 blasts in two days and India was left asking the usual question - Intelligence failure? The series of serial bombings in the last few months surely involved a lot of planning. Jaipur, Bangalore and Ahmedabad had many similarities. Even the same group claiming responsibility for two of the serial blasts. Technology will assist but ca...

Five Wise Men: 01/01/09

http://fivewisemen.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 1, 2009. The many failings, a new start. Excuse the loose emotions in this post. . Whatever I write under the influence of apple vodka cannot be used against me in any court of law. . I have survived another year and escaped with minor injuries, so a vodka will kill me now? In retrospect it has been a great year and a terrible 365 days of hope struggling against despair. . Work place was fun, working long hours tiring, but it was also sheer drudgery some days and exhilaration on others.

Five Wise Men: 03/21/09

http://fivewisemen.blogspot.com/2009_03_21_archive.html

Saturday, March 21, 2009. Indian reality TV - a series of 'beeps'. I have been watching MTV Hero Honda Roadies on and off for the last two years. When the Roadies started out it promised to be the mother of all biking shows on Indian television. . A brat pack on bikes, hitting the road, fighting to survive challenges and internal politics while a camera crew clocked their every single waking moment. . Sadly, it hasn't happened. . You have your reality television. For those following MTV Roadies like one ...

Five Wise Men: Gay is as gay does

http://fivewisemen.blogspot.com/2009/07/gay-is-as-gay-does.html

Sunday, July 5, 2009. Gay is as gay does. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.". I have been meaning to write on the decriminalisation of homosexuality by the Delhi high court but never got the time to collect my thoughts. Lets see if I have this time round. I always found it hard to fathom the many d...

Five Wise Men: 01/12/09

http://fivewisemen.blogspot.com/2009_01_12_archive.html

Monday, January 12, 2009. Satyam all the way. Conscience is a bothersome thing. The more I think about it the more annoyed I get. Hitler did fine without one. Gandhi had loads and still got shot. It is that persistent nagging voice that makes a mess of a great bank robbery. Or lands you in jail for fudging your company's profits. You might argue that with the failed Maytas (Satyam spelled backwards) acquisition deal, the truth was to come out sooner or later. But writing out that dramatic letter. They ar...
