Ishq Bector Strikes Back

Ishq Bectar was one of the most charming contestant on the new reality show "Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao" and one of my favorite among all the ten celebrities. Ishq was the first contestant to be eliminated from the latest Junglee Reality show of Sony TV, which is based on the popular British show "I am a celebrity, Get me out of here". Ishq was one guy on the show who never fought with anyone (Fiza listening?) or tried to act smart with others. He used to just silently mind his own business, which might be one of the main reasons for his such an early exit. But he was very good in the Jungle Challenge task he performed. He was the only contestant to remain totally calm during the task (which involved getting inside a coffins with all kind of reptiles). Forget staying calm, he created a song "Chal be Shane Task Kar" while inside the coffin which was very catchy.

However Ishq is all set to unleash his shaanpatti with his latest release on you tube. Yes he has recently uploaded the music video of his song "Chal Be Shaane" on you tube. I assure you if you hear this song once you will just love it. The lyrics of the song are quite simple describing the extremity of his Jungle expereince. Ishq is proving to be our very own desi Eminem with even taking the digs on his fellow celebrity including the latest arrival Nigar Khan in the show.

And the best part is the Video itself of the song. Ishq is everywhere in this video from being a news reporter to a jungle reported and most hilarious a sexy item girl. Check out that video below and enjoy.




Ishq is also very keen to get back into the jungle as he urges his fans to vote him as an wild card entrant. I sure hope this cool dude gets back into the jungle as I want to see more of his antics. I have made an Mp3 out of the you tube video of his song to make it as my mobile ring tone. If anyone wants to download the MP3 version of the Ishq Bector's Song "Chal Be Shaane" than click here.

Am I Social? Maybe

Since I was a kid, I had always had this feeling of being someone out of the circle. It was not like I was isolated or different; It’s just that I had always lacked any kind of social skills. No matter how much I try, I would always end up feeling awkward whenever it came to socializing formally. As I look back on my life till now, I do had loads of friends, and many of them were my very close friends. Actually I had many best friends in my life during my different phases. With some I was for very long time and with some it was just a small companionship, but a strong one though. But in the end I had always been unable to stay in touch with all these friends. It was again my total lack of social skills and failure to try and initiate a communication. Then came the Web 2.0 era and the dawn of Orkut and Facebook, which is rapidly becoming very essential part of this generation. These Social Networking sites have given me the opportunity to get in touch with all my long lost friends with a click of mouse. Leaving a scrap or writing on their wall is proving to be very effective way to get in touch with them. It’s only with help of these social networking sites that I am able to wish "Happy Birthday" to even my primary school classmate whom I haven’t met for last 15 years. These sites have really given us the power to reconnect with the people of our past and be in constant touch with our current friends. It has empowered our generation to be in constant limelight of our friends. When you meet a kid from your high school with whom you hardly talked, on Orkut after a decade through your common network, you do realize that he is he was not that bad a person back than after all. This can prove to be a good healing tool for people. It enables every one of us in understanding the joy of sharing and being in touch. As for me I hope it enables me to get in touch with my buddies more regularly (fingers crossed)....

Dubai Day 02 & 03: Of Pistols and Paints

We woke up pretty early today as we wanted to watch Coroline at 10 am at Festival city. It looked like a good movie, though I slept through most of it. Priya loved it and so did Anuj. After the movie we went for lunch at Caesar’s, an excellent Indian restaurant. The view of Sharjah Corniche from the restaurant is amazing. So after a heavy lunch we headed home for a nice afternoon nap. Later in the evening we headed for Sharjah Golf and Shooting club. This place is amazing, especially its open lounge overlooking the golf course. Loved this place.

This is where we were looking forward to play paintball for the very first time. Indeed it's one of the most interesting things I have ever seen. Paintball is an actual combat style game which is played between two teams. Guns with ammunition consisting of paint balls are used for it. It’s an excellent team building activity. I simply loved the Paintball.

After the Paintball we headed for shooting range. For the first time in my life I fired an actual 0.9 MM pistol. Yes a real one. I tried my hands on Beretta and Czech. The recoil of Beretta for first time was hand numbing. Never expected a real gun to recoil so hard.

Day 03 was more of a rest day. With nothing much to do me and Priya headed for Ansar Mall right next to our house and I bought myself a pair of sunglasses as its absolutely essential in Dubai. Later we had lunch with one of Anuj’s Business Associate at Caesar’s and slept the rest of the day off on the Air Bed.

Destination Dubai - Day 01

Finally after 2 and half years of Marriage and getting two visas (USA and Australia) Rejected today me and Priya finally managed to go on a vacation out of India. Have come to Dubai to visit my brother. He has already chalked out a nice plan for the 15 days we are here.

Arrived at Dubai Airport morning 10.30, the Emirates flight was actually half an hour earlier than its scheduled arrival. Got our immigration checked, though the immigration girl was pretty grumpy and she was busy talking to her Boy Friend on her hands free while working. Met up with Anuj and we headed for his home in Al Nadah, Sharjah. Loved the Dubai city. Loved watching almost all brands of Car in the world.

In the afternoon we decided to celebrate Sonia’s birthday via video conference as she is still in India. Loved the Chocolate Mousse cake from the bakery near our house. Saw world’s biggest and yummiest Strawberries. Later we headed to for the “Central Perk” Café at Jumeriah. Its indeed was a great experience. As per a trivia thrown in by Anuj this café chain is actually owned by the Guy who played Gunther in the Original “Friends”. The café looks exactly like the set of central perk in the tv, Especially the entrance. Had a coffee and sandwich on the couch like the “F.R.I.E.N.D.S.”.

Later we decided to head out to Jumeriah Beach and had a couple of mandatory tourist style pictures taken near the Burj – Al – Arab. Than we headed for the Barasti Bar on the beach and chilled out a bit. There I saw my dream bike Harley Davidson V-Rod for the first time.

So had a pretty exciting first day in Dubai, still we are planning to watch “Angels and Demons” at Midnight.

The Future of Online TV

The Internet has given birth to a wide array of different types of technologies and advancements. This includes online TV. If you are like a growing number of people the world over you may have started to take advantage of online TV. If that is the case, you may be wondering what the future holds in store for online TV. Through this article you are provided an overview of the future of online TV.

The increase in viewers of online TV has been steady over the course of the past few years. Most industry experts predict that this trend will continue into the future. While explosive growth is not necessarily expected in the next few years when it comes to online TV, the rate of viewers is expected to increase.

Moreover, in regard to the future of online TV, most analysts agree that those people who end up being exposed on online TV will end up watching more online TV. In other words, those people who garner a taste for online TV tend to enjoy it and appreciate it on many levels.

Another trend that is expected to continue into the future when it comes to online TV is the fact that there likely will be an ever increasing amount of programming being offered through online TV. This type of programming will take two forms. First, there will be programming offered through online TV that is available through cable and broadcast outlets. Second, there will be an increase in the amount of original programming that is offered through online TV in the coming few years. (Original programming offered via online TV is a trend that started apace in the past five years. Again, as noted a moment ago, this is a trend that is expected to carry forth into the future.)

Review Dev D Music rocks big time - Download now

Just purchased the dev d music cd today morning and thats what I had been listening in my car for whole day. Man thats one great album. All the songs in Album rocks.

While Aankh Micholi, Dev chanda theme & dil mein jaagi are likeable, one of the best tracks of the album are the Duniya & saali Khushi. Both the tracks have most amazing lyrics. Totally earthy feeling to it.

For a month now I was awaiting the release of this music album as after seeing the promos was totally in love with the super duper hit song Emosanal Atyachaar. The bass band song is total hit and will be one of the best tracks of the year.

But boy after buying the cd, I realized that emosanal atyachaar is indeed not the best track of the album. Now comes the big daddy, the one track which made me come online and write all this about this album is the best track of the album: Atyachaar - Rock Version. And boy can it rock. It rocks big big time. Heard the track once and simple fell in love with it. Its total hardcore rock. Guys just listen to it now, you will know what i mean.

If you cant wait to listen to the songs of dev d, you can download them right now from here but make sure to buy an orignal dvd later ;)
The best tracks are Emosinal Atyachar,

iPhone to be launched in India in September, book yours now...

Most of us gadgets and phone freaks were looking forward to owning an official iPhone for last one year but coudlnt. I for one wanted it, and came close to even settling for an illegal unlocked version but resisted the temptation knowing I wouldnt be able to use much of its feature. However the wait is over, Finally we have some official news about the iPhone launch in India. Times of India flashed this advertisement across India right on the front page.


So if you want to get hands on that new iPhone, go right ahead and SMS IPHONE to 56789. You can also pre-register for you Iphone by Clicking Here.

There is no word on the pricing as yet, however expect it to be 20,000 rupees upwards. I’d be surprised if it has a lower price point. Have any readers applied for it already? Any idea about the price?

SMS ‘iPhone" to 56789, you will shortly receive a confirmation "Congratulations! You just booked your New iPhone with Vodafone We will keep you updated on its price, features and availability in due course. Thank you."

I have already registered mine with them and got the confirmation. Finally its feeling good and lucky to be the vodafone user for years. Now cant wait to get my hands on the phone come september.
