The interesting bit is to note yours as well as the Beeb's persistence. This must be the first time BBC ran a story with an India element that does not have cow, or a large drain, or at least an emaciated kid with a running nose in the background :)Rajesh Kumarhttp://www.yaxislive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-4316027784978524952008-08-21T16:40:00.000+05:302008-08-21T16:40:00.000+05:30My brother, who works as an off-shore tech support engineer, has some tales to tell that are quite similar.<BR/><BR/>:DSidhusaahebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-22417311870471809302008-08-17T22:24:00.000+05:302008-08-17T22:24:00.000+05:30Sunil,thanks again. I mean at 16 things happen, I just drifted into giving up and latching on to academics because I always used to do well in it!

I wouldnt comemnt on personal choices made in one's life. I am sure there would be reasons. <BR/>CheersSunilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17068212158525900975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-12850071179510430072008-08-17T14:46:00.000+05:302008-08-17T14:46:00.000+05:30You've narrated it all well, problems et al. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations Mridula.:)indicaspecieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04082836899942612554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-51203629534743515702008-08-14T16:37:00.000+05:302008-08-14T16:37:00.000+05:30Shrinidhi, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Cindy, hope you could play the video :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Priyank (Final_transit).<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo, it also tells about my technology capabilities :)<BR/><BR/>Akira, thanks. I agree, sports need proper handling. What made me a bit happy is that Saina Nehwal too is with Mittal Sports Trust. Bindra too was.<BR/><BR/>Rmathew, I agree but I need to explore more about Mittal Sports Trust, seems to be supporting the right people.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Clash, I will certainly check the URL.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Rachana.<BR/><BR/>Dotinacircle some of the topics on the show, we had discussed through phone calls but some of it was indeed live. Thanks a lot for your kind words. <BR/><BR/>Lekhni, thanks for the suggestion. I promise that I will try but you know I would be in no hurry to touch the code for the fear that everything will collapse on my blog! You know about my tech skills! And thanks for the link at DP.<BR/><BR/>Maduraiveeran, I wanted to tell Adnan that India needs more schools first rather than cycle polo in the schools.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Sunil. I am not sure if you are talking about giving up in the context of Athletics or the show. I mean now that I have got academics I am surely not going to give up on that easily!<BR/><BR/>Jam, the persistence was shown by Carolyn, I just followed instructions :) But thank you for your kind word and I agree it was not easy to get on TV!Mridulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07899575209261241247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-75355967931980133952008-08-14T08:53:00.000+05:302008-08-14T08:53:00.000+05:30This post is simply brilliant. <BR/><BR/>For all those people who think coming on TV is probably the simplest thing nowadays (especially with the plethora of news channels back home), read this post and then decide whether you want to be on TV.<BR/><BR/>BTW, you must have been really good with your view for the BBC having persisted with you in spite of all the little niggles and hassles.<BR/><BR/>Congrats once again, and kudos to your persistence. <BR/><BR/>Cheers.....JamJamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00782578138787405452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-21163749654591096632008-08-14T07:32:00.000+05:302008-08-14T07:32:00.000+05:30Hey, just checked the video; was nice seeing you online. <BR/><BR/>Well done.

I have a request - could you move the ixigo ad to another position? As a reader, I find it extremely disconcerting to click on your blog and find that all I can see is that ad :( <BR/><BR/>But it <I>is</I> your blog, so you can, of course, completely disregard my comment if you like :)Lekhnihttp://elekhni.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13575792.post-61445439793855550122008-08-12T23:08:00.000+05:302008-08-12T23:08:00.000+05:30It was a fun segment. Though Adnan seemed more amused by the humor himself. :) You are a natural.
