RIP Michael........................!!!
June 24 2009 was one of the darkest days of the music world.That day saw the demise of the greatest entertainers of all times, Michael Jackson.I knew him from my childhood as an american guy,who did an operation to become female since he wanted to be one, a man who worships satan to get what he desires.Obviously; all rumors.Then i knew that he was into singing and i heard his "Bad" from one of my cousines music system.I didnt understand anything and really i thought that one who sings is mad and one who enjoys it ;madder!!!.Thanks to prabhudeva,who said in one of his interviews that he was inspired by Michael jackson.This guy does dance!!. Then i came to know about his famous moonwalk and began watching his videos whenever i get a chance.I watched them not for the music ; but for his moves.Really mindblowing!!!!. Although i have now become more interseted in his songs and have begun to listen to more of his songs ; iam still fascinated by his dancing.................................................

BSNL- Best hai "mere" liye..really......:(...
It was a fine monday..........till evening i guess!.I had just came from industrial training at ksrtc pappanamcode. Though there was only very little to do,standing whole day at various sections had really made me tired.So i had anticipated a cup of tea, a shower and a quick nap.But god had other plans.As i just entered the house,i saw my father standing with a piece of paper in his hand.Yes, it was the telephone bill.My eyes litreally came out when i saw the bill.A whooping 13,000;and of it, 12,500 was internet charge.Im using BSNL and hence internet bill would come along with telephone bill.Now i understood why he had a furious look on his face.I had to quickly give him a satisfactory explanation or i would have to look for another house to move in.Suddenly i noticed that in the bill its said that im using the plan 250,which i changed to combo 500 a month back.........
It all started when i became fed up with the my nightbird internet connection and decided to switch to BSNL.I was able to convince may father that its much better than the current one,since we had to pay only 250 comparing with 450 we have been paying all these months...After starting using this plan,i began missing the old one since new one had a download limit of 1 gb, which is quiet hard for a user like me to keep in control!.How hard i tried, it would always go beyond 1 gb.At this time, i heard a new plan of BSNL.Combo -500,with 1.5gb download limit and 2am-5am free download at 500/ month.Also it had 175 calls free.Just the perfect one that a guy like me would ask for.So without wasting time i gave application for the plan change and after 15 or 16 days, it changed.So i began my prodigal life on the internet...........plenty of mp3's, almost all videos of youtube,wall papers,........everything on my hard disk.Just as I was begining to enjoy it,this thunderstorm(idithee) struck me.
After a lot of clarifications, i was able to convince my father that this bill had nothing to do with me.Next day we went to BSNL office to make things clear.They said that they didnt knew that the plan had changed.This is fully computerised billing system?No answer.After 30mts or so, i got my new bill.Every thing perfect. Hoping that next months bill doesnt give me another heart attack...............................
