Not an Idea

So Idea has gotten one more ad out on its dubious social change platform.

Few points.
Its very very annoying to read a newspaper or a magazine on a mobile phone screen. Have they ever tried it? Which is precisely the reason why everybody and their uncle is out unveiling e-book readers at CES.

Most of the phones shown are iPhones.
Idea doesn't even carry the iPhone.
Airtel does.

Maybe next time an ad with more than 10 minutes of brainstorming, eh?

Anatomical Correctness

DNA realises, 32 minutes later that 'boobs' is rather inappropriate for a National Newspaper.

But anyway ... a rose by any another name ...

Distance

What is distance?

The dictionary offers a few clues in the first two definitions

dis⋅tance
  /ˈdɪstəns/ [dis-tuhns] noun, verb, -tanced, -tanc⋅ing.
–noun
1. the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc.
2. the state or fact of being apart in space, as of one thing from another; remoteness.

Actually, when applied to two people those definitions do clash sometimes. Its very much possible to be close to someone an ocean away. Its so much more easier 'these days' with our 24x7 net access and cheap ISD rates. The days of my grandparents' might well have been Good Old Days, but I am glad to be where I am, when I am.

FMyLife

After lots of dilly dallying around, I finally made my way to an Ophthalmologist. So turns out what I initially dismissed as 'staring at the screen' is an eye inflammation due to an allergic reaction.

Also, when reassessing my power, I was blown away by how little I can see out of my left eye. Classic seeing-double-when-drunk-as-portrayed-in-movies double. What I have to do is wait out this inflammation and then get it checked again. A week of eye drops and that should do it, apparently.

So why am I typing this out here.

The eye drops.



How appropriately ironic.
Perfect.

Atheism, again

Spent the majority of the day listening to this ..
Very Interesting.

I do think on these lines sometimes and I find myself increasingly subscribing to an agnostic/atheist point of view.

It also is the 200th post here, apparently ..
