For my Non-hindi speaking friends, this Translates into “Do you have Internet Explorer in CD“.

here is a Brief conversation a Girl & Guy at some college situated at Jaipur:

(a Girl wearing pink top and pale blue jeans Walks up to guy, Armed with hair comb in one hand and a laptop on shoulder. she unfolds her hair & ties it again for unknown reasons.the guy is busy reading LFYMag. Just then Girl Breaks his concentration and demands immediate attention. )

Boy:Yes?

Girl(in a casual manner):Hi, Internet Explorer ki CD hai kya?

Boy(puzzled):eh?

Girl(Firmly):you don’t know what is internet explorer?

Boy: No, Please enlighten me.

Girl: its a Operating system.

Boy: Yes, IE is world greatest Os, it would be its insult to the-greatest-OS, if it was to be distributed in cheepo Media/CDs

Girl(puzzled):  Then how do i Install Internet Explorer in Vista?

Boy(Singals her to open laptop): It appears magically when a User wants to use it and disappears when not in use.

Girl: i think so, as till yesterday there it was a blue  “E” icon on my Desktop. now it has disappeared since i am not using it.how do i call it back?

Guy:close your eyes and wait for magic.

Meanwhile he restores deleted shortcut from recycle bin and Internet Explorer Icon  appears on desktop.

Girl:wow, you are so good with Computers. amazing!

Guy:err….what did i do?

Girl says Thank you and walks off. Guy resumes reading an article about Python programming in LFYMag

 

My College Exams have ended few days back. There is still time to before new session of college Begins. this means sittings at home whole day and doing nothing. some people call it rest and means of relaxation. for me its simply waste of time. so thought to pen down some ideas which one could do and enjoy his/her holidays. after all we rarely get such long holidays.so I want to utilize it to fullest extent.

Choice of activities that can be done in Holidays widely depends upon your hobbies/interest.I am listing a few which i prefer to pass my time.some of them might not appeal to you much.

  • Catch with Friends: its been long since i met my friends. so i plan to visit their place. go on some outing with them. make sure you aren’t unwanted guests, its your holiday not theirs. so call them and ask before visiting.

  • Watch Movies:Thats most of us do when we are free, i plan to do the same. if you are looking for some good movies to watch.check out Movie Recommendations @imdb.com
  • Hit the Gym: In past few months due to continuous sittings while studying & daily midnight feasts, few extra layers of lipids have developed around my belly. now its time to shed it and get back in shape. if you don’t have access to Gym,then do some jogging & running in park. if going to park is also not possible. you may try Power Yoga.

    Its basically faster form of Yoga for youth.

  • Give Time to yourself: In this crowded fast moving life, personnel space is at premium. this is the time where i can s pend time improving myself. Pursue my hobbies like reading magazines and novels. improve my dressing sense. catch up with latest fashion by shopping for trendy clothes & accesssories. get a funky look by new hair stlyle.you can do things which you always wanted to but were never able to do due to lack of time.
  • Help your Parents:Be responsible, spend some quality time with your Parents. help your dad with Car wash or Mom with daily chores. let them know they have a obedient son/daughter. they would be so happy. then maybe if you are little cunning then ask for a new mobile!! :D
  • Sports: It peaks performance and mental toughness. Although some people don’t like sports, but i am sure there must be at least one sport which you like playing. i like swimming.check the List, to find which sport you may like.
  • Games on Console/PC :P laying computer Games is quite fun and addictive. i can spend whole night playing GTA IV.organise a LAN party with your friend and play counter strike. girls may not like this idea. Alternatively,Girls can callup friends and catch with latest gossip.
  • Vacation:leave behind the fast city life and escape to a exotic holiday destination. if you are life me, who can’t go to holiday then visiting your Grandparents is the best thing to do. for me it refreshes my childhood memories.

  • Enchance your skill set:not entirely fun, but you need to do something which enhances your professional value and this is the best time to do so.it may not be fun but certainly help to future. like i have decided to brush up my programming and learn basic math to improve my quantitative apptitude.you do something similar in your respective field. is you get too much stressed then to relieve stress watch some porno flick.no don’t do that. i am joking. :P
  • Internet Surfing: waste your time watching Youtube videos,reading my blog or read site like Wikipedia and participate in online discussion forums.you can spend time doing some some work or just passing time.on Internet its all upto you, how you spend your time.if you are looking for some sites. then Google is your friend.

These were my ideas on how to pass my month long holidays. Please comment them and feel free to contribute your own ideas.

Government of India has finally announced its policy on 3G spectrum allocation, paving way for 3G mobile services in country.Telecom minister A.Raja said there would max 10 player in each circle and spectrum would be allocated by bidding method, where the highest bidder gets spectrum.

3D an acronym for 3rd generations of mobile services which supports high-speed video messaging(video calls), mobile TV, gaming etc. the introduction of 3G in India is delayed,now the world is moving towards 4G.

nevertheless its a welcome move as its many time faster than present EDGE networks.

The Detailed policy can be read here. some of the important points mentioned in document.

* Initially, 5players would be allowed in each circle. later this limit would be increased to 10. Delhi & Mumbai will have 3 players instead of 5.

* Allocation of Septrum would based on a third party auction, which means telcos have to shell out more money, subsequently this cost will be passed onto the consumer in form of higher cost. as a Expection BSNL & MTNL would be allotted spectrum preferential basis.

Unfair Policy for Delhi and Mumbai telecom circles
Delhi & mumbai, which is biggest market for 3G will only have 2 private GSM players because the government has made it very clear that there are only three slots available for 3G spectrum in Delhi and Mumbai and two are already going to be reserved for BSNL and MTNL. this is a big blow to all private players.Idea cellular and reliance communication are also bidding for spectrum. This would ensure aggressive bidding and higher service costs.

Only two operators of Airtel,Vodafone,Idea & Reliance will get 3G license.

Bad news for Apple iPhone Lovers

Airtel and Vodafone are official carriers of iPhone in India. infact they have also announced publicly they will launch Apple iPhone 3G. now their plans seems to in toss in two most important circles i.e Delhi & Mumbai. there would be only 2private operators in these circles and more than 15bidders. this would ensure cut Cut Throat competition subcribers in other cities like chennai are more lucky to have 5 players.

Situation is better in CDMA space, there is no competition there. and bidder would get 3G spectrum at base price. BSNL & MTNL will not bid for CDMA.

And 3G services are expected to roll out around may-jun 09.
Get ready to enter new era of Telecommunication.
