Radio one - Bangalore

I love this FM channel the funny thing is it plays all Hindi songs and the DJ's speak Kannada and English. Well, i am not really complaining as its helping me learn Kannada and i seriously want to speak Kannada now!

The channel is fun for one more reason, their comedy tracks
- Ganta Singh
- Sultan school of speech
- Chamrajpet Charles

and yes the Bday bakra :)

Security...

After the recent Mumbai blasts there has been heightened security everywhere, there is a lot of checking going on of the bags, cars, people...everything.

One point to note here is i am not sure if the security guys know what they are looking for, they are looking - but what they are looking for they have no clue. All they know is as soon a car zoomes into basement make sure using a mirror check whats beneath the car, i asked a security guy if he knew how a potential bomb maybe and was he trained to find and respond back - the answer in most cases is no and this worries me.

We need to secure ourselves and bear the inconvenience of these checks, but fundamentally if we forget the complete reason behind these checks i am not really sure if these are going to be of any help.

Happy New Year 2009

Here is wishing all of you a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year :)

Cheers,
Kalyan.
