The SCUM manifesto

without comments

I was perusing my fortune cookie screensaver today when I came across SCUM (Society for cutting up men) manifesto. It is a pretty interesting read. I agree to many things she is trying hard to convey. It is just that she is using the most extreme words and thoughts to prove her point (One of the qualities, she claims, that belongs to man).

I also see that most of what she says is mostly bullshit. But on the whole, funny and hilarious. The best of them all :


“Retaining the male has not even the dubious purpose of reproduction. The male is a biological accident: the y(male) gene is an incomplete x(female) gene, that is, has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.”

I Feel like God

without comments

This is one of my favorite commercials from the Indian TV. I just made a mp3 out of it and made it my ring tone. Write me a note if you need it too.

So, what are you waiting for? Call me and get the God out of me. :)

RSS feeds in bangalore

RSS feeds in bangalore
Originally uploaded by shivku.

I didnt exactly see the real action on ground, but from what I have heard, the past few days surely have been troubling for many of us, bangaloreans. For instance, I was returning from chennai and many of friends asked me to get off at KR puram. I had my bike in Cantt. Thankfully ( or should I say unfortunately) I slept over KR puram and I reached cantt. But seeing so many 60 year olds getting down, I asked RSS to go screw themselves, picked my bike up and drove home.

And then we were advised by facilities to get home soon today. Which I just did. Again loss of valuable productive hours to many like me.

And I dont even think there is reason enough for the right wing or the muslim bodies to get agitated about. But I guess these folks dont need a reason.

Windows 386 Promo Video

without comments

"Microsoft sent this tape to retailers to explain the benefits of Windows 386. Boring until the 7 minute mark when the production is taken over by crack-smoking monkeys."

Is Bill Gates really the world's richest man ?

Map my India..Oh wait, is it webmail?

without comments

Welcome to India’s first interactive maps portal, MapmyIndia They give you an introduction to the open webmail project and also suggest you download it from sourceforge.

What do you think has happened? Maybe someone installed webmail on the production box instead of his box? And hence the docroot got screwed up?

Either ways, It is hilarious and I hope they take care of the first interactive Indian map site better.

This is a test blog to check if the "Mail to publish" feature of blogspot. I am planning to use this along with GetJar's Mobile Blogger and get Moblogging going. The "Blogger Mobile" feature seems like will work only for the US phones. Sucks!
