I VOTE NOBODY - Law 49-O

2008-12-02T11:38:00.000-08:00

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that

polling will be canceled and
Will have to be re-polled.
Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know...Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India ...show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting.... so don't miss your chance.

So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...

"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India , can really use this power to save our nation".

Use your vote right for a better INDIA

Singh is King Review: Bollywood Movie

2008-08-08T05:47:00.000-07:00

Movie: Singh is King; Cast: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Javed Jaffrey, Ranvir Shorey, Sonu Sood, Om Puri, Neha Dhupia; Director: Anees Bazmee

After striking a chord with audiences as a rustic Punjabi boy in last year’s hit “Namastey London”, Akshay Kumar returns as Happy Singh, a gullible, foolhardy and accident-prone guy in romantic comedy “Singh Is Kinng” that releases Friday.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film got unexpected publicity when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pulled off a decisive win in the trust vote in parliament July 22.

“Congratulations India… Singh is King!” was the SMS circulated in Punjab and elsewhere soon after the results were announced.

“I could never ever imagine that the title of my film would become so popular. It has become such a rage after the trust vote. Singh is King has become synonymous with the power of the Singhs. I’m very glad,” said producer Vipul Shah.

When Harbhajan Singh took six wickets Saturday to help India gain a lead on the third day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, again the headlines said “Singh Is King”.

The film’s USP is Akshay and Katrina Kaif, who teamed up in two of last year’s biggest hits - “Namastey London” and “Welcome”.

The story of the singing, dancing sardarji goes like this:

Lakhan Singh aka Lucky (Sonu Sood) is the ‘king’ of the Australian underworld. He functions with the help of his associates - Javed Jaffrey, Neha Dhupia, Manoj Pahwa, Yashpal Sharma, Kamal Chopra and Sudhanshu Pande.

Far away, in Lucky’s village in Punjab lives someone more notorious than him - Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar).

The villagers are fed up of Happy, the good samaritan, because most of his good deeds turn into hilarious, and often disastrous situations. Out of desperation, they decide to send him to Australia to bring Lucky back to Punjab.

The happy-go-lucky bumpkin, taking his mission a bit too seriously, embarks on his journey accompanied by his friend, Tony Singh (Om Puri).

The high point of his journey is his chance meeting with Sonia (Katrina Kaif) with whom he falls in love. But when he reaches his destination, things take a turn and Happy lands up in a series of comic misadventures, leaving him penniless.

An affectionate elderly lady (Kirron Kher) rescues him and also helps him meet Lucky.

Happy saves Lucky’s life by risking his own. Following the hilarious altercation, Lucky lands up in hospital paralyzed, and Happy, unexpectedly, finds the tables turned on him when he is expected to assume the role of the new leader of the gang.

The series of chaotic and comic misunderstandings eventually results in an accidental wedding!

Shot in Punjab, Australia and Egypt, the film’s music is already doing well. American rapper Snoop Dogg features in the movie wearing a turban. Apart from Pritam Chakraborty, Britain’s popular bhangra band RDB has also composed a song for the film.

Although Akshay’s first release of the year “Tashan” turned out to be a box office dud, trade pundits are hoping this film will do well

2008-07-27T06:41:00.000-07:00

We just saw two cities, Bangalore and Ahmedabad threatened with bomb blasts in India, and today, cops found out explosives near a hospital in Surat.

Another Wagon R car loaded with explosives, was found in Varaccha area in Surat. The police seized the car and special squads have been rushed in to examine the explosives. Earlier in the afternoon, another Wagon R car loaded with explosives, was seized in Poona village in Surat.

The latest developments have created panic in Surat and other parts of Gujarat. The two other cars, which were used in the serial blasts outside Ahmedabad hospitals were also of Wagon R brand. Registration numbers of all these cars are found to be fake.

Police said it was found to have a wire, some white powder, nuts and bolts as well as a battery — all ingredients for a crude explosive.

Surat Police Commissioner R.M.S. Brar refused to go into the details. “I will not comment on it as the experts are still analysing it,” he said.

Consumerpricewatch.net Reviews Top 10 Best Diet Pills

2008-07-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

Diet pills are one of the recommended ways to lose weight as they discuss all over the internet and TV. Don’t always believe on what you see on TV commercials. They are made to make you buy the product and don’t always show what really happens.

I have found a website that reviews over 100-200 of different diet pills available. This website consumerpricewatch.net uses various criteria to compare the different products. It also focuses on long term benefits and safety along with value and quality. What they have done is, that they brought things down to the top 10 of diet pills, allowing you to easily select the best diet pills for your own use.

This website, Consumerpricewatch.net, has a lot of information and they also talk about the good and bad sides of the different pills. Makes sense to check it out before you buy any diet pills online. What say?

A string of nine synchronised low intensity bomb blasts today rocked the IT hub during the busy lunch hour, leaving two killed and injuring 12 others spreading terror.

We have changed back to blogspot.com domain

2008-07-02T08:04:00.000-07:00

If you would observe, we were on some other borrowed domain name for a while for some test purpose. Currently, I am in no mood to keep that domain name as the things did not work out the way I want. So I am switching back to blogspot.com sub-domain http://lifeiscolorful.blogspot.com

This suits more to the blog theme, isn't it? I would be little more in posting here now onwards. Till then, have fun.

itzbig Gets Creative To Reach Passive Job Candidates

itzbig Gets Creative To Reach Passive Job Candidates

itzbig (a technology-centric Job Matching Site) posted involving a campaign called Get Yourself Fired.

Partnering with Third Rail Creative, itzbig Takes a Playful Approach at Helping the Currently Employed Fire Themselves

Austin, TX (April 11, 2008) – itzbig (www.itzbig.com), an industry leader in candidate-matching technology, is changing the way Quiet Working Professionals (QWPs) look for new jobs by introducing the industry’s first real-time job network that allows them to anonymously explore career opportunities as well as obtain immediate feedback on how compatible they are for positions.

itzbig has launched a viral campaign and a web site called http://www.getyourselffired.com/ , a playful attempt at suggesting to QWPs that it may be time to leave their current job if it is unfulfilling. While on the site, QWPs can do fun things like superimpose their face on a catalog of compromising images and read amusing work stress tips. They can also enter for a chance to win a $10,000 sweepstakes by entering a profile on itzbig.

The core message of the site is:
“itzbig can help you find your ideal job. Here's an amusing way to leave your less than perfect one...”

itzbig’s partner on the campaign is Third Rail Creative, an award-winning creative advertising and design agency, which is currently or has worked with Charles Schwab, Chick-fil-A, Continental Airlines, Honeywell, and The Home Depot, among others.

“Third Real Creative was the perfect partner to help us cut through the clutter and reach those technology workers who are currently employed,” said Denise Court, itzbig’s Vice President of Marketing. “Together, we created a viral campaign that uses humor to ultimately communicate the itzbig value proposition that an ideal job is out there for them..”

The recipient of the message are QWPs, who typically are working professionals that want to maintain control of the relationship with potential employers and only explore opportunities where their privacy is guaranteed and they have the ability to interact anonymously until they’re ready to take the next step.

The itzbig network provides built-in privacy controls such as visibility settings for anonymous career exploration. In addition, the network features bi-directional job matching technology, which not only shows how well candidates score against the employer’s requirements, but also how well the employer matches the candidate’s requirements.

Dozens of technology companies in Texas and Silicon Valley -- Advent, CNET, eBay, Logitech, Omnivision, Salesforce, T-Mobile and Yahoo! to name a few -- are posting their positions on the itzbig network.

That unique proposition inspired Third Rail Creative Director Mark Scholes to create the campaign.

“Our objective in creating this campaign was to build a buzz that would spread without the benefit of a traditional multi-million dollar advertising campaign,” said Scholes. “To do that we needed to create an integrated campaign that leveraged the Internet as well as more traditional venues. The objective is to drive them to the site and then slowly make them aware of itzbig and its unique value proposition.”

About itzbig:
itzbig is the first interactive network to allow working professionals to privately explore in real time career opportunities at technology companies. Privacy is critical for working professionals, who need to protect their identity from their existing employers as well as shield their personal data from those with a criminal intent. itzbig serves employers by delivering highly qualified candidates in an efficient manner. This innovative approach rescues recruiters from drowning in a pool of poorly matched resumes.

For more information on itzbig, call 1-888-4itzbig, or email info@itzbig.com

Use IzeaRanks.com instead of Google's PageRank Now

2008-02-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Last few months have been roller-coster ride for bloggers because of Google's new decision of penalizing the blogs that do paid reviews. Earlier, the companies like payperpost used to use Google pagerank as a measure for advertisers to decide the quality blogs [they use it now as well but if it's really required], but now IZEARanks.com has come up with a new ranking system specially for blogs.

Here they would check out the backlinks for the blog on that particular day [probably given less weightage], traffic numbers collected everyday and rank your blog in their system.

How they collect the traffic numbers?
You would need to install a piece of javascript code from Izearanks.com and that would start giving them traffic data about your blog and will help to rank your blog better in the system.

They also publish the list of Top 100 blogs each week, and they give away $1000 prize money for the top blog each week. Wow, that's cool! I wish I would reach to that levels one day and make $1000 in a week with them.

Forget about the prize for now, but signing up with them to add your blog and display the izearank in your blog would give a different boost to your rank and apparently convince your advertisers that you are a good quality blog.

Can Microsoft Break Google's Monopoly buy Merging with Yahoo for $44.6 billion?

2008-01-27T01:30:00.000-08:00

This is too shocking a news for me. Microsoft Corp has made an unsolicited offer to buy Yahoo Inc for $44.6 billion in cash and stock, seeking to join forces against Google Inc in what would be the biggest Internet deal since the Time Warner-AOL merger. And still what they are getting is, 16 percent share of worldwide web search market.

In its boldest-ever acquisition move, Microsoft said on Friday it offered $31 per share for Yahoo, or a 62 percent premium over the Internet media company's closing stock price on Nasdaq Thursday. Yahoo, whose shares jumped to $30.75 in premarket trading, said it would evaluate the bid

Though it's a good strategy, not good for internet, and the power will be centred with two big shots, Microsoft and Google. And you are seeing some of the effects from Google already, they being the monopoly in Internet world.

Orlando Tour Would Never Be So Much of Fun

2008-01-25T13:09:00.000-08:00

Our recent tour to Orlando turned out to be fun. It was the thanksgiving weekend, when we had 3 days in hand over the weekend and we decided to opt for sightseeing tours in Florida. Basically, the reason to chose Orlando was Universal Studios, Sea World and Kennedy Space Center visitor complex. One day each was allocated to each sightseeing tour.

As we never had been to Orlando before, we looked for some sort of guide that gives us useful information on Orlando attractions and specially hotels to stay. Companies like Trusted Tours & Attractions can help you out in such situations. And signing up for their newsletter shall keep you updated all time for any future tours and travel.
And that' not the end, but you also have a chance to win handheld GPS system from Trusted tours when you subscribe to their newsletter

Orlando tour was fun, specially Universal Studios. In one of those rides in there, we were riding on Dr. Doom's Day, holding our breaths as that ride was supposed to shoot us in the sky and bring back suddenly with great speed. And the moment, we were thrown up, we both were screaming like anything. But I later realized that I was screaming for fun in that ride and my wife was screaming because her prescription glasses fell down... LOL!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's girlfriend, former supermodel and singer Carla Bruni coming to India

2008-01-25T10:17:00.000-08:00

The guessing game is finally over. French President Nicolas Sarkozy's girlfriend, former supermodel and singer Carla Bruni will after all be coming to India. She will however not be attending the Republic Day parade on Saturday, though she is expected to make the much anticipated visit to the Taj Mahal with Sarkozy.

The will-she-won't-she teaser trailers had kept MEA's officialdom as much in thrall as the media. Where would she sit? These worries kept Indian protocol officials awake and reportedly Sarkozy angry, who has cut short his visit to India. A previously planned trip to Mumbai has been cancelled. According to French reports, Sarkozy doesn't really want to stay in India for long enough. Now this is really a question for me, why he really does not want to stay longer?

Give back to your community

2008-01-04T19:42:00.001-08:00

It was never so easy to raise funds for your cause and connect with your group. But Shoutback made it very easily possible and for a better cause again.

It's little difficult to raise funds for your cause because of the efforts involved and less return on your time investment. And yes, you have seen it before too, isn't it? I have seen small children spending their time in fund raising activities and finally, they end up spending lot of their time in doing that with little outcome. People feel that they should contribute but they somehow don't - so even if lot of sympathy is accumulated, we don't get the fund raising expected.

There should be optimized ways to actually get this done. And one of the ways is creating a community. This community or group can be benefited from shopping services, buying services, special auction features by signing up to Shoutback. It is proving to be a new and creative way to fundraise for clubs, groups, and other organizations.

As other fund raising activities, this would definitely benefit the PTA, The city could also get involved and raise money for community centers, libraries could raise money to buy books. This entire communities and large groups of people can benefit this way through Shoutback.

Yuvraj Singh is dating Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone

2008-01-03T19:43:00.000-08:00

This could turn out to be the love story of 2008. 'Mr Sixer' Yuvraj Singh is dating Bollywood's latest heartthrob Deepika Padukone, sources close to the families say.

The model-turned-actress had been invited to Australia by the cricketer, currently on tour Down Under. Incidentally, Deepika will be celebrating her 22nd birthday on Saturday, the crucial fourth day of the ongoing second Test match, and the pair is expected to be together for the occasion.

Earlier, Deepika's name had been linked with India's ODI captain, M S Dhoni. He had even invited the actress for the one-off Twenty20 match against Australia in Mumbai last year.

LawMax Helps the Needy in Lawsuits

2008-01-02T15:08:00.000-08:00

Being involved in a lawsuit and running out of money, is not a rare picture. Rather, it's obvious that someone who is not rich enough but stuck into a lawsuit somehow, will require a lot of money for the lawsuits, specially when your life is completely dependent on your daily work and even though you deserve to win the lawsuit.

Basically, you need not to settle down the case in rush and settle for less only because you need money desperately. At such moments, you might lose lot of money due to early settlements but you could have got much more if you would have been supported by Litigation Financing by companies like LawMax.

They can help you avoid financial crisis, including home foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy and ruined credit. Don't they share a big risk at your difficult times and help you to gain a lot if you win and they get nothing if you lose the lawsuit. Moreover it's a pure risk they take, as no credit checks or monthly payments you need to do.

Shame on Mumbai

2008-01-02T13:55:00.000-08:00

After last year's incident of woman molestation at Gateway of India, Mumbai crowd made sure that they show how dirty they can be on this year's eve as well. Two women were molested outside JW Marriot hotel at 1.45 am on New year's eve. Both of them were NRIs from California and probably wanted to visit their own beautiful country and visit the city of dreams, mumbai for the new year.

This is so disturbing to read this news at Hindustan times, thankfully this case is reported when HT reported filed a complaint with unwilling mumbai cops. We also urge you that if you see these molesters - please take a knife, and cut his hands and manhood - but leave him alive, so he will repent all his life and remember how he shall be treated when he does such crime.

We urge you!

Hike in Petrol and Diesel Prices Again

2007-12-10T17:50:00.000-08:00

The Indian government may consider a marginal hike in petrol and diesel prices with a simultaneous reduction in excise duty. So let's see what will be the actual extra money going out from consumer's pocket. The group of ministers (GoM) may recommend an upward revision of auto fuel prices.

The measure reason to hike the prices, would come as a major relief to the public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs), which are losing about Rs 240 crore every day on selling petrol and diesel below cost.

Source of Information on Personal Loans and Secured Loans

2007-12-03T16:54:00.000-08:00

Many of my acquaintances had questions about personal loans and I decided to do some research on the internet because I thought it's too interesting a subject to spend time on today evening. There are quite a few sites on loans and there are many that actually help you to compare different loans, educate you on positives and negatives of various type of loans through lots of good articles. One of these websites, loansubmit.co.uk, pretty much has nice design and you can get lot of information on personal loans, secured loans, debt consolidation loans and other types of loans here.

I did not know before I visited them that unsecured loan rates can vary at large extent between lenders. For example, I learned that car loans are usually one of the most expensive forms of personal loans. Rates can go from 15% up to 40% depending on your credit history and other factors.

Same way, it's useful to learn about house mortgage to discuss with you as I want to know more about home loans before I go for one. I will suggest to check such websites before you take any decision for loans.
