End of cable raj .... well almost !

I was finally relieved to hear that Star TV has agreed to beam its bouquet of channels to the DishTV DTH platform. With this announcement, I'm sure i'm gonna switch to DishTV.

Why DishTV ?
Well why not ... no more local cablewallah's .... no more random blackouts ... no more ghost images on TV... no more goondagiri by the cablewallah .. choice of channels to choose....

The only deterrent so far in getting it at my home was that my parents watch Star Plus and can't do without it ... therefore I had no option but to wait till it comes.


The bad part about DishTV is that you can't view different channels on different TV sets . I hope my parents would understand this particular anomaly.

I'm going to wait for the prices offered for the package and go with it like the rest of the country.

Bye Bye cablewallah's ... your end has come !!

Cheap Publicity

http://in.rediff.com/movies/2006/aug/01kank.htm

I was reading the article here on this website. Karan Johar's said that he is no mood to celebrate and have a glitzy premiere for his new film KANK because of the 11th July mumbai bomb blasts.

Mr.Johar ... thats the cheapest publicity stunt I have ever seen. I thought everyone after the mumbai bomb blasts just wanted to get on with life and you on the other hand have decided to cheapen yourself by publicizing this. I remember when his father died, he didn't think quite a lot and instead moved on with "Koffee with Karan".

Mr.Johar, you must also realize that with your past record, people will come to see your film whether you care to publicize it or not. Please don't use cheap publicity.

Stress

At times I wonder what stress is? Where did this word originate? What does it mean when you say,”I’m stressed”?

When you lookup the dictionary meaning of the word stress, there are quite a few definitions. Some scientific (from Physics), some in medical terminologies. The word is “A state of extreme difficulty, pressure, or strain “.

So am I going through a phase of stress? Am I going through a state of extreme difficulty, pressure or strain? Well I’m not sure. There is no physical exertion. I’m not facing any kind of pressure or difficulties. Still I’m feeling I’m stressed. I wonder if I need to add a new definition to the word stress.
