Just like every other guy telling that "oh... I luv electronics gadget", I will also write about my experience with my toys...
- PALM (Palmone) Tungsten E
- Nokia 6600
- and lot lot of cameras: Canon Rebel 2K, Elan II, Elan 7 (friend's), Canon Canonet G-III QL17, Digital P&Ss (2MP and 6MP), web cam (one at home and one in office), Camcorder and tons of lenses (mostly cheap one.. no pro grade)
These days I am hooked to Mobile Internet (GPRS on 6600). I just bought Opera browser..
My first take about Opera browser,
- Believe me, Its worth buying..
- Its fast, handy and shows the page "great"
I will put more details about Opera Browser experience on mobile phone.
Till then...

Current TV: new phase of broadcasting
Today is the launch date for new TV network, Current TV. First about this network,
- Brainchild of Al Gore (a real insider of Washington) and few of his Democratic buddies.
- May be a liberal channel, but for insider, philosophy is not issue (name, fame and power are the pillars of life)
- First broadcasting channel in last 10 years (last one was "O", Oxygen)
- http://www.current.tv/
In my opinion this is first attempt to integrate the generation which is growing in Internet world. People are becoming used to getting little information from all spheres. Yes, its hippie-r and yes you can say it’s not serious, But what’s the issue with this. With decades, generation changes. There was first generation which watched Disney, first one to hook to CNN... things come, change the face of industry and eventually this change is for good.
Whether this channel will be another startup or will become some ground breaking, time will tell. If its digital only, I am not sure how many 18-25 generation has digital network in the hostels/Dorms?
Another key point is, consumers will be able to send their own videos. I am the guy who is pushing from long that the Internet should be used to tap "Global intellectual knowledge". Anyone who is able to tap this, will be big player.
The good details of this channel are provided here,

Milan Kundera, Nietzsche and Blogs...
I remember when I started reading Milan Kundera's "The unbearable Lightness of Being". The very first line was just a shot directly hitting the torpedo. The mention of Nietzsche is somewhat electrifying for me. But a novel strating with "eternal return", was interesting to me. The line(s)was,
"The idea of the eternal return is a mysterious one, and Nietzsche has often perplexed other philosophers with it: to think that everything recurs as we once experienced it, and that the recurrence itself recurs ad infinitum! What does this mad myth signify?................................
Will the war between two African kingdoms in the fourteenth century itself be altered if it recurs again and again, in eternal return?
It will: it will become a solid mass, permanently protuberant, its inanity irreparable.
If the French Revolution were to recur eternally, French historians would be less proud of Robespierre. But because they .deal with something that will not return, the bloody years of the Revolution have turned into mere words, theories, and discussions, have become lighter than feathers, frightening no one. "
a..ah.. but how blog will come into this picture. Blog is evolution to some and sort of revolution to others. But is this like French revolution which will call for republic and democratic system with equality to all throught out the world.
May be.. Blogs are hit everywhere. The mainstream media (what main and from where its media) is jumping on blogs. Instead of comments you can blog the news. Everyone is jumping the bandwagon. Every journalist has blog and every other person who can type is writing how much his cat is eating these days.
a.. l.. la... Deja Vu... Is this a French revolution in the making or war of small kingdom who are fighting from last some years without getting the solid mass.
Do we all bloggers bear no weight or consequence to our actions in the grand scheme of things of technological innovation.
Are we just like herd who were jumping on NASDAQ in late 90's, then became doomsayer of technology based industry, and now bloggers. and in between we acted like Security expert too.
Are we just waiting to jump on the new bandwagon like Podcasting, or video blogging or something more weird.
This is interesting topic.. will write more later... till then..

Salute to the world..
A salute from new blogger to this world. I will try to keep updating my online dairy at least on weekly basis. As the blog says, I will just tell about my life, my thinking and the surrounding around us. I am working in the telecommunications industry, enjoying the happy family life with lovely wife Seema and cutie but really naughty son Aryan. Sometimes uses my camera but still not comfortable with digitals (please don’t want to enter into good, better & best discourse). Luv running (one day will complete marathon... may be just a day dream). Read books, some time Nietzche, sometimes Milan Kundera to Telecommunication blogs. You are going to read lot about my socio-political thinking and my views on telecom industry and Internet future. Movies are something never able to attract me, but like watching sometimes. After all life is full of contradictions and simplicity will never take someone to anywhere. Complexities and contradictions are not just need but way of life.
More is coming......
