Life Should be Easy. Monday, December 11, 2006. Airtel Call Home - India Calling Service - A case of No Action Talk Only. Bharti Airtel launched their India calling service for US based NRIs called www.airtelcallhome.com. I too like most desis use Reliance India Call. 1) To start with, the site was extremely slow. 3) After the registration, they assigned a login id which was a random number. How the hell am I supposed to remember a random number to login in everytime? Usability went for a walk! 4) I thou...

Life Should be Easy. Monday, August 27, 2007. Why Sikh Turban patdowns won't work. Y on airport search procedures has authorised what it calls turban pat downs. The turban will now be under the scanner at airports across America. But you know why this won't work? Once a TSA guy goes near those smelly beards and hair they will never repeat the mistake again :-). OK its just a joke. Posted by Sandesh @ Monday, August 27, 2007.

Practical Thoughts: July 2006

http://oktoberchyld.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Life Should be Easy. Friday, July 28, 2006. Why I love Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump is one of the movies you can watch again and again without getting bored. I love the opening and ending scenes where the feather floats in the air and the background music. 1) The Accent.The way he says "Life is like a box of chocolates". 2) Forrest was a descendant of Ku Klux Klan founder. 3) That Elvis learnt his famous hip shaking move from Forrest Gump. 5) Meet President Kennedy and he says he got to pee. Hilarious.

Life Should be Easy. Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Sivaji, The Boss - Rich are getting richer because fools pay $16. Rajini laughing mockingly at the foolish desis - Idhu Eppadi irruku! Usually Desi movies are priced around $10 and I believe that's fair given the fact the number of people making it to these movies. But $16 is REALLY UNFAIR. I really wanted to watch the movie but I have decided to boycott it. I hope many more desis do the same and teach the organizers a lesson. At 6/13/2007 1:16 PM. I am a soft...
