You are quoting 1984 to make the exact opposite point made by George Orwell in that book?

What I meant was just winning a prize doesn't naturally amount to scientific advancement of the entire nation. I wasn't debating it from an individual perspective, but that of the entire nation. A Pakistani has won it too. Obviously, it's a big achievement for the person. But unless citizens of...

Thank you. And that makes how much of a difference? Nobel prize is just a label. Not really. We didn't have a headstart. You can't invest on research much when basic needs of the citizens aren't being met. Modi's just grandstanding. A Google in India? Seriously.

Why does India need to invent Google anyway? I'm sure we already did that centuries back. We just need to find the right shlokas to fit the narrative. In fact, I'd say the exact opposite. Most Indians have a very high opinion about themselves. And what innovation has come out of China lately...

Anyone planning to get it? One of my friend wants it (for his sister's birthday), but I can't since I'll be at work, and him too. If anyone wants to give it away, PM me :)

I've watched Breaking Bad over three times now. Some episodes more than three times. I guess it's the TV series I've spent most of my time on.

Sell it and get a Sony RX100. Keep it with you on your trips. If the iPhone snaps are enough, then just use the money for something else. No point in keeping a gadget without using it. There is someone out there who'll make a better use of it.

Actually, they speak out of their ass. The most annoying pricks in a gym. They're not speaking with "good intentions," because if they were they would've researched the nonsense they're spewing when somebody points it out. But no, they make the ignorance spread further.

Badlapur, not recommended. It's like Ghajini 2.0, but with no satisfactory ending either. The writers didn't know how to conclude the movie I guess. Nawazuddin Siddiqui has acted brilliantly though, like always. Varun Dhawan is expressionless and doesn't really know how to act, especially when...

Accent is yet another factor. It doesn't matter much in communicating over the Internet (or writing). The Irish accent is PITA to understand. Australians have their own way of communicating, which I like for some reason. It's more fun.

We are doing exactly that. Languages evolve. The functionality remains the same. We are communicating here perfectly fine, aren't we? American English is still English. It's spoken by far more people than even the original English. Meanwhile, I'll write check to draw my cheques :D I'm an...

Repeat after me: Amendment, Amendment, Amendment.

Nope. Pat and punch :D Classic Oliver. Tobacco industry is more about ripping third-world countries now. I hope he comes back as Professor Duncan in Community.

2 lakh crore for 15 lakh CCTVs. 1.33 million for each CCTV? Even including installation and maintenance charges it sounds way beyond the mark. Let's say we also add additional expenses for the combined hardware (computers, hard drives, fiber network, etc...), even then 1.33 million for each...

Funny, for Indians to whine about linguistic differences between American and British English. Of course, the English started the, well, English language. But it has grown beyond its origin. We're taught British English in our schools, but we've carved out an unique version out of it ourselves...

Increase your budget a bit. Get this. It's really good. Steelseries Siberia V/1 Full Size Headset (White) http://www.flipkart.com/steelseries-siberia-v-1-full-size-headset-white/p/itmdfn9exmtqngzh?pid=ACCDFN993JUUUQ2U&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=steelseries...

Don't share the profile with anyone, and keep it private (don't add any friends). You can also create a fake persona (eg: Arvind Modi, Hrithikh Kapoor, etc...). Facebook can't stop you from that.

It was around 7k during the sale. Someone from TE bought it if I recall correctly.

Yes. Create your Facebook profile. And then create a Facebook page through it.

It's pretty much the same here in India. I'd say even worse because it's not that strict and there is rampant corruption.
