    2014 Parliamentary Elections thread

    Hung parliament with the NDA combine getting more seats than the UPA. 3rd front hopefully gets decimated. Hopefully, nobody votes for all those "chota-mota" parties who ally with either Congress or BJP as long as they get to enjoy power.

    I never got the hang of podcasts but I want to give it another try. Anybody here who regularly listens to one? Any suggestions? I'm not sure about any specific genre that I'd like to start off with but I'm definitely not interested in listening to some college kids blabber about movies...

    The Aam Admi Party

    In this one he made some fair points about this "dharna" (or whatever) by the AAP and pointed out how it was a failure of Congress and the AAP in many ways. A large part of it sounded sensible. Nothing to do with FDI or any other issue.

    The Aam Admi Party

    Sorry..since you quoted my post and expressed disagreement over Jaitley's opinion on FDI, I have to ask you this: Did you even bother to take a peek at the video I had linked to in my post? It's got nothing to do with what you said(FDI)

    The Aam Admi Party

    Credit to Arun Jaitely for the way he speaks in the first 12-13 minutes on this NDTV interview. Some valid points there. http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/the-buck-stops-here/has-congress-been-outsmarted-by-arvind-kejriwal/306241 Mr Kejriwal is showing his immaturity. Imagine if he becomes the...

    I thought the episode itself was alright - definitely not a great episode but undoubtedly the best of the season. Overall, pretty average season. 2/5 for the whole season.

    ^ I hate reservations too - I missed out on a free seat in Med School after my 12th where as a friend of mine who got a couple of thousand ranks below me got a free seat 'cos he was a SC/ST (and this guy was from a well off family who could actually afford a paid seat as well). Every f**king...

    I think people prefer to deal 'locally' when it comes to real estate rather than type away on the keyboard..

    What to get from US right now...

    Depending on the stash you are sitting on right now (and I don't know if you want it but) you can get a 2TB portable hard disk for less than $100. I'm guessing this is cheaper than what you would end up paying in India.

    I thought that the show was over after the RedJohn reveal episode (which I have not yet seen...) My friend talks highly about it - although he loves watching Gossip Girl so not sure if that's something that I'll ever watch..

    ^ do you "want to" convert videos from avi to mp4? If you just want to stream it from your laptop or something, then you should use OPlayer HD. And do you have any sort of browser crash happening on the mini? How about auto reload?

    ^ yeah that's the one. I feel Elementary is a watchable series - nothing spectacular but something that you can take a look at when you're having dinner or something. It really isn't "Sherlock Holmes" if that's what one is looking for - apart from the names of characters - but if you take out...

    Another "filler" episode of Sherlock. Cumberbatch was good in it but there were no signs of "progress" with the overall story - i.e., the new villain they showed in the last scene of the last episode. So looks like we'll again see glimpses of him in the next episode and then forget about him...

    Rate the Last Movie You Saw...

    watched Wolf of Wall Street yesterday. Great movie. Some of the scenes were like watching a porno (I mean snorting coke out of the gals ass, masturbating in a house party, innumerable girl on girl/orgy scenes) but they did add something to the movie. I'm definitely grabbing the HD rip once its...

    my thoughts exactly. Its still good in patches but the overall quality has definitely gone down .. or we've gotten more used to that kind of comedy.

    ^ I don't think so but I can check when I get back home. (PM me the urls you'd want to check and make sure) and about the app store - I don't think you can use debit card. //cc: @avi, @raksrulesedit: here's what stackexchange has to say...
