TATA SKY....

Well we moved to a new house over the weekend, Courtesy the new house owner I get a room to myself! As per the wishes of the house owner , we get decided to get a TATA SKY connection.Off we set off (Me and Manish) to book a connection and we finally did take a connection at 17:30 PM on a saturday and was promised that the disk and the connection would be installed with in 4hrs.And indeed true to their words the connection was up and running in less than 3 hrs.The only issue being that their channel offerings are mostly in packages and one cannt choose individual channels.Not sure with regard to the other DTH service providers.

Got the connection 2 days ago so not realy sure how thier customer care service is if there is any issues.Having said that quite impressed with their turn around time for installation...just in time for me to watch the "Making of the Kingfisher calendar 2009"...no wild imagination...just enjoying the art of photography :D

Hope this helps ....http://www.kingfishercalendar.com/2009/

Medha Patkar.....Protest lady?

Medha Patkar....has been in the news for a very long time....Narmada Bachao was the first one that I started admiring her work for the people who are affected by the height of the dam.However was not very pleased with the other protest activities that she was involved with...the nandhigram episode..where in she was part of the protest for WB govt giving away farm lands for industrial developments. Now who is at loss? West Bengal Govt or the people of the state who lost a huge chunk of job ? Now from yesterday's newspaper I hear that she is now in chennai joining the protest against the govt of TN asking them to stop the airport expansion!!! Does she realise that airports are needed for a countries growth ? We speak about international airports...where as we expand existing shabby airports to accomodate the growth in passenger traffic and we have protestors for them as well ? Well, agreeded that this comes with cost of people losing land and houses and tons of sentiments with them....however I am sure that the govt would have compensated them. Protest should have some value and lot of thought needs to go behind it. Admired personalities need to think many a times before they join a protest and not just for the fame! Kerala is one example....anything and everything we have a protest and strike comes complementary , and this is one of the reason where we dont see much of economic growth in Kerala! And we talk about India being the economic super power!
