Facebook going for a Redesign: to become World’s Best Personalized Newspaper

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 4:59 pm By Desh Kapoor

Facebook is achanging. It is doing a redesign. So that the content is properly displayed. Mark Zuckerberg says – “What we’re trying to do is give everyone in the world the best personalized newspaper,” The Verge rightly puts it as being the Social Network of Record. What Facebook actually wants is to be the social network of record, the thing you look at before breakfast and curl up with on Sundays, the app you’d take to a desert island if you... Read more

Relationship Games and Hidden Dark Characters: Why Jodie Arias’ trial disturbs me

Last updated on: March 7, 2013 at 2:33 pm By Desh Kapoor

There was a time some years back – in my own lifetime – that people were quite simple. Many people in some places, still are. No, I am not talking about being “Good”. Simplicity is living life with very limited mental distortion. A murder case trial going on in the US has worried me in many ways. It is the trial of Jodie Arias. The story of this lady is that a friend introduced a man to this lady. They... Read more

Ravinder Jadeja’s “Ball of the Century” to Michael Clarke (Video)

Last updated on: May 29, 2013 at 12:41 pm By Desh Kapoor

Was the ball bowled by Ravindra Jadeja ball to Michael Clarke in 2nd Inning of Hyderabad Test, the “Ball of the Century”? It surely set India to register one of the biggest wins over the Aussies in history. But would you consider it so great? Personally I would hold two wicket-taking balls bowled by (i) Karsan Ghavri in the 1981 Melbourne Test to get Greg Chappell clean-bowled which India went onto win; and (2) Balwinder Singh Sandhu’s wicket of Gordon Greenidge...

India falls to 3rd spot of Global Spamming nations

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 10:37 pm By Desh Kapoor

India seems to be really prolific in spewing spam around the world! In fact it is #3 in the world! At some point it was much ahead of China, but the Chinese spammed their way out of the 3rd to a solid 2nd! Now, even Peru seems precariously close to toppling India from even the 3rd spot! USA (18.3 per cent) at number one, China (8.2 per cent) at number two. India (4.2 per cent) was placed third while Peru (4.0... Read more

Posterous goes out; closing on April 30th

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 10:16 pm By Desh Kapoor

Posterous – a blogging platform – when started, was one of the most revolutionary. It offered a lot of new features. The best being that you could create a blog for yourself, just by sending a blog by email. The email to blogging interface was probably best explored by Posterous! The company was acquired by Twitter and is now closing. The service had suffered a lot of issues in the last year after being acquired by Twitter, like the infamous... Read more

When a 19-year old Indian kid got a personally hand-written letter from The Steven Spielberg!

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 4:09 pm By Desh Kapoor

Sometimes, for those who have a dream and the dreams include a hero – a living hero sometimes – such dreams come true. Krishna Shenoi is “a nineteen year old Indian kid who enjoys making movies, books, art and other stuff like that..”. He made one small film on Steven Spielberg, which he called ” animated tribute to my hero, filmmaker Steven Spielberg”. And then one day he got this letter, one that he would have hardly imagined would come by his... Read more

How one man in Assam single-handedly planted an entire forest in 30 years!

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 7:04 am By Desh Kapoor

Sometimes, one man can change the world. Through small but consistent effort. The story of Jadav Payeng, the Molai Forest Man, is one such story. He started well over 30 years ago single-handedly and has created a forest where there was sand. Spiritual people talk about compassion, and this young kid at that time demonstrated the compassion that was his inherent quality. This compassion made him do what most people will consider Super Human. It was 1979 and floods had... Read more

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 10:06 pm By Desh Kapoor

India’s education system – the structure and the attitudes – is a legacy of the Colonial past. We have neither changed it nor replaced it. We want to move to the new world, but with old hangovers. The interesting question is what is wrong with the Indian education system? A good answer is that very little. But here is an interesting take on this question: Read Quote of Anon User’s answer to India: What is wrong with Indian Education system?... Read more
