The Nokia Lumia 800 Heartbreak

The following is a letter I sent to Nokia India post my Nokia Lumia 800 ordeal. My family has been a Nokia customer since the time of Nokia 5110. There was a time, when every single member of our household owned not one, but multiple Nokia phones. There was not an N-Series or E-Series phone

The Reason Why I’m Angry with Metallica

Just scanned through the comments on my last post. I’m just glad that there are so many like me who feel such shit shouldn’t be taken lying down. It has generated enough discussion on the post itself plus various posts on other blogs. I don’t really want to defend my writing or my emotions. But

The Day That Should’ve Never Come

Dear DNA Networks, Metallica Band Members and the Crew, As I lie in bed and watch NDTV newsanchors blame the “rowdy” Gurgaon crowd for “vandalising” the Metallica concert stage and creating “chaos”, I’m only filled with more anger.

Just five minutes back, I noticed that erroneous traffic is now being redirected to a page hosted by OpenDNS. Now, I have no clue if Airtel has in some way partnered with OpenDNS to

Airtel Broadband redirecting erroneous traffic

Airtel has started redirecting traffic from dead links, non-existant domains and typos to a website of its own where it displays advertisements and a search box surrounded by some categories.

iPhone 3G Indian Pricing and Launch Date

One of my friends went over to the Vodafone store in Sector 19, Chandigarh yesterday. He wanted to book the iPhone. They asked him to send a message to a number (Airtel and Vodafone have been playing this stupid booking game since long) which I think is kind of an alert service since they have
