Bachna Ae Haseeno Movie Review

Monday, August 18th, 2008
Bachna Ae Haseeno: An extravagant-turns-boring affair!

Bachna Ae Haseeno: An extravagant-turns-boring affair!

One of the much awaited film finally arrives. Has all the ingredients intact – great locations, good cinematography, soothing music. It has fair performances too. But the ’script’ strikes again! Or, the lack of it.

The story revolves around Raj- a Casanova who dumps two girls and finally falls in love with a girl who dumps him. When he suffers, he plans to go apologize to the two girls for all the wrong he has done. How he does it and what he receives at the end of it forms the second half of the movie.

The main idea reminds me of “do good things and good things will happen to you” from the American sitcom ‘My Name Is Earl’. The story also resembles Tamil flick ‘Autograph’. Had the whole movie been comic or melodramatic like them, it would have still entertained. A badly-written script spoils it all.

On the dawn of India’s sixty second Independence Day

Wish you 62nd Happy Independence Day !!

“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.” -Jawaharlal Nehru

India's 62nd Independence Day

India's 62nd Independence Day

As the government organizations and educational institutions busily start their celebrations and the rest of the nation enjoys their national holiday by resting at home, I ponder over many things that cross our minds on such occasions but sadly the thoughts just pass over and we do nothing about it. When we listen to the umpteen patriotic songs on this day, our heart is filled with enthusiasm, energy and pride. But the patriotism dies as soon as the day is over. We are back to normal- throwing chocolate wrappers on the road, eating exported chips and never forming a queue for a bus. I am not saying that buying foreign goods or being aloof from it decides if you are patriotic. But doesn’t being undisciplined in all walks of life show that you are disloyal to your country?

Test your website/blog in different browsers

Friday, August 15th, 2008

I know lot of bloggers like me and website owners are concerned about one thing that is…

Is the website compatible on different browsers?

Whenever a webmaster changes the website design or theme or tinker with CSS code. The only question that comes to the mind is the above question.

There are lot of browsers and every one uses the browser they like. As a webmaster, you don’t want the visitor to see a crappy web design. You want to make sure that your website or blog layout is consistent on all browsers.

I found one website BrowserShots.

Using this website you can type in your website url and select any browser of your choice to check how your website design looks.

It is a very useful tool to check and make sure that your website is consistent in most of the popular browsers.

How it works?
