Bollywood disappoints again!!

With the news of Sanjay Dutt getting bail again, common man is definitely surprised. Just few days back, court of law had re-instated the faith in law by a clear decision that Sanjay Dutt is guilty and should serve the sentence. And now, on some grounds he has been granted bail and is out of jail now.

Given the complexity of the judicial system, I would not comment on that. But what I am really worried about the comments and reaction coming out from the bollywood fraternity. Since the time, TADA court started announcing the results of the trial, there was an increased number of appearances of Sanjay Dutt on the media at various occurrences. Be it a show - Coffee with Karan or be it his visit to temple. As if there is some conspiracy going on against him and he needs to be supported by his fraternity. There was increased number of his interviews flashing across the channels, increased number of his movies being showed on various channels. Media and Bollywood started crying about the investments at stake because of Sanjay Dutt. Once the court had declared the sentence, there were news flashing that it's unfortunate and how good Sanjay Dutt is and blah blah.

I really wonder - do all these people really know what they are doing by all these acts? Do they really care about the people who lost everything in 1993 mishaps? Or everyone has forgotten all about it in last 14 years?

I just want to say that let the judicial system do it's job and do not glorify any of the convicts just because he/she is a celebrity and crores are at stake. Let every one be equal in front of the law.

Latest News: Finally Salman Khan is behind the bars. Now media will be stationed outside that jail to get the bites!!!

What is "B A Y"?

Weekend time. I was playing with Mrunmay, one of his games - 3 letter words. Basically there are some paper strips having one letter printed on it and then there's a letter dispenser, which dispenses 2 letters at a time. The game is to make up a word with those two letters and one of the paper strips. It's too early for Mrunmay to know the spellings and obviously the job of finding out matching spellings was with me. After every round, I was telling him the meaning of the word formed, in the form of question / answers. Like "Do you know this word?", "Do you know it's meaning?" and wherever required giving him examples and/or translations. After few rounds, the dispenser gave us two letters: "B" and "A". The only possible combination left was the word "BAY". I started asking him the meaning... Me: "Do you know what is BAY?" Mrunmay: "Bay??" Me: "Yeah.. do you know what is the meaning of Bay?&q

Subscription Services

As the internet penetration increased over the last 2 decades, it also gave rise to digital subscriptions. The internet users slowly started developing trust in internet-based payments and that too on recurring payments. It probably started with the tech community using the recurring payment systems and slowly spreading that faith to non-tech-savvy users. There was also a phase when I started using the credit card for online transactions but wasn't comfortable storing the card details with the merchant. I used to enter the details every single time. (That is how I still remember the CC number that was in use at that time) In the late 2000's I was introduced to Ecom website development and since then it has been part of my professional as well as personal life. Over the years, I learned about the  PCI-DSS standard , and the extent to which the Ecom companies make an effort to protect consumer data. There have been instances of a data breach across the globe, but alon

Music Musings

Songs have a huge role in our life. In childhood, the primary source of songs was Radio. It slowly expanded to TV, then dedicated music channels. Somewhere in between or in parallel to Radio and Television, there existed the parallel world of Cassettes (and then later CDs) which served the audience. Since then, we have evolved to on-demand, yet unlimited songs. Each of these phases has/had some peculiarities of its own.  When I was a regular listener of the radio, there was only a handful of channels - probably two or three. One channel was primarily for music where Hindi songs were dominant and the other was for general. I think they were named “ विविधभारती ”, “आकाशवाणी अ” and  “आकाशवाणी ब” etc. The beauty of the songs on the radio channel was the surprise element - you could get to listen to a song of your liking which would lift your mood automatically.  The television channels, specifically those dedicated to music stole the limelight that radio was enjoying. However, in the initia
