To be honest I haven’t heard about Justice Katju before his interview with Karan Thapar, but does it matter? This post is about what Justice Katju said to Karan Thapar and for which celebrity journalist couple of Mr & Mrs Sardesai started conducting poll, debates and tweeting
Should Justice Katju apologise to journalists for calling them uneducated?
Few editors and coloumnist have already written or will be in process of writing articles criticizing Justice Katju. As expected Editor’s guild issued a statement criticizing Justice Ratju
The Editors Guild today (November 1) termed as “ill-considered” the comments made by the new Press Council of India Chairman Markandey Katju against the media and vowed to oppose any move by it to assume “draconian” powers and bring the electronic media under its ambit.
I presume people at large would be happy with what Justice Ratju’s view on currents state on Indian media, at least I do and here I will discuss key points as mentioned by Justice Katju.
Deepavali or Diwali, popularly known as the “festival of lights,” is a festival celebrated in India between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is the biggest and most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes and bursting fire crakers at night.
from wikipedia:
The name “Diwali” is a contraction of “Deepavali” (Sanskrit: D?p?val?), which translates into “row of lamps”. Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or d?pas) in Sanskrit) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil.

Dr Manmohan Singh,
In 2004, you were an accidental prime minister after Congress’s marginal victory over incumbent BJP, Gandhi dynasty placed you as someone who they can trust and who will vacate the chair for PM in waiting. You accepted the command and started the job of PM, answerable to 1 person instead to the citizens of this country. This young India waited to hear from you for months and but we only got pre written ‘off the shelf’ speeches which lacked depth and sincerity. Suddenly, one day you rose to defy everyone and somehow passed the nuclear deal, still not sure was that your guts or pressure from someone outside. As much as history will remember you for good & bad of nuclear deal, you will also be remembered for ‘Cash for Vote’ scam.
So now we have Google+, Facebook and Twitter, the three most used social (time wasting) activities. A lot has been written about strength and weaknesses of both Google+ and facebook. As a user, I just want one place/ tool that can replicate status at Fb , G+ and Twitter and like me many are asking for something like this. So, here is my post on ‘How can you have a status update replicated on all three, Fb, Google+ and Twitter’.
Note: This feature is only available in Chrome browser and at a personal level I feel Chrome is much better than mozilla or IE. I am yet to see and test any app with similar feature for android or iphone.
So this Chrome extension is called ‘Helper for Google+’ by kupriyanov. As per the author’s it adds extra functions
to Google+. Get desktop notifications on new posts. Share Posts via twitter. Translate posts with Google Translate. Bookmark posts faster for reading later (also to delicious.com). Linked #hashtags. Search in posts and profiles directly from your omnibox.
Got this in email today, old story regularly spoken about in management classes
A giant ship engine failed. The ship’s owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine. 
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young. He carried a large bag of tools with him and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully top to bottom.
Two of the ship’s owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed!
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
Update: Now Samjwadi Party’s official page on facebook also mentions that Bhagat Singh was hanged on 14th Feb

Their Deaths.

Bhagat Singh died 37 days before due to Wikipedia Loophole & Celebrity Tweet
This is a classic example of how Wikipedia and other powerful social websites can be used to spread rumors. With start of Valentine’s day I noticed ‘Bhagat Singh’ trending on Twitter in India. I was surprised and when I clicked on ‘Bhagat Singh’ I noticed the top tweet by @mritunjoykjha (Executive Editor with IBN7(IBN18))
” On 14.2.1931, Lahore, in morning time the legendary BHAGAT SINGH, RAJGURU & SUKHDEV were hanged..Happy Valen.. Day”
Later on this tweet was deleted, but before that I was able to take this screenshot 
Today I received an email in my Gmail inbox with subject line Google Technical Support Unit. The specific email asked me to provide my id, password and country
as google is upgrading their mailing system. Considering google mail system to very secure, email users believe in this email and prvide their id and password.
I am just writing this blog so that my readers are aware as in how to identify a phishing email. Most important and successful principle that help you identify phishing email is that no legitimate organization will ask your email/web password, Social Security number, bank account number, PIN number, credit card number, etc.) in an email. It should ring a bell in your mind, if you receive any email asking for password. Other indicator is they will look like an official page. The intent of these phishing emails is this to steal your email address, money, your credit card number, identity or could be other malice.
