One more swayamvar is just over, after the much talked n discussed Rakhi’s swayamvar. Well, this gimmick has become the order of the day to acquire national fame for sure and international fame in select countries up to some extent. The end result is national wastage, total foolhardiness and mere tamasha for all small screen lovers. Yet, we all watch with serious concern,,, coz we are fools , hehe.
Who benefits out of such trash REALITY shows,, it’s the promoters of these programmes, advertisers, tv channels, media and actors who never saw the light of the day. Do we really need to air such programmes? What effect do such serials have on younger generation (mostly school goers)? Couldn’t the money spent on these jhatka serials be better spent on classy, educative and society related serials which leave a message for the masses and impact every house. Who will think about these questions,,, who will shake up” Mandi House” for finally according approval for airing these serials,,,, and who will bring changes in quality of tv serials. All are pertinent questions and surprisingly crores of people in the most populated country in the world can’t reach a popular consensus on how to bell the cat. Wow that’s an achievement in itself.
Does anyone remember the aftermath of last similar serial starring Rakhi. Did she marry the finally selected groom? No one knows,,, the public and fans were made were taken for a ride,, and who bothers after the show is over…REMEMBER MERA NAAM JOKER…. WHO IS THE JOKER,,, KEEP GUESSING.
Rahul’s reality show was no different and went down the same lane as well. Aspirant girls ,, sorry women( no offense meant please), looked awful, dressed so shabbily and lacked real personality requisites like wits, humour and maturity,, that’s what one makes out after watching those untidy, poorly directed shows. Am sure Rahul would have got a better match for him had he just advertised in newspapers. The Big Boss hero has tried very hard to tarnish his image and reputation through this show.,, his laughter helped him do that too.
Once again, like the previous reality show, wrong lessons and messages were conveyed to all viewers and homes. The fallout could be in questions or action form. Some of them are,,,, Is this the correct way to select a bride,,,, should the girls be so cut throats in life to achieve what they want,,, some young girls will lose focus on their work or education and try to emulate these contestants which can be really harm full for their life and careers, school girls will learn the art of Bitching,,,, showmanship will assume importance in projecting good image of girls since their families are also incorporated in this race, ,list of fallouts is endless,,, and so is the fan following.
ANYWAY, THE SHOW MUST GO ON AND IT WILL GO ON,,, WE JUST WAIT N WATCH WHO WILL BE THE THIRD ONE FOR SUCH REALITY SHOW,, BOLLYWOOD FIGURE OR STREET ROMEO OR SPORTS PERSON OR A FOREIGNER ,, LETS WAIT AND WATCH,,,,,,,
BEWARE—YOUTH OF INDIA—WATCHING SUCH REALITY SHOWS MAY HAMPER YOUR THINKING ABILITIES AT THE TIME OF SELECTION OF YOUR BRIDES

Special thanks to Indiblogger for inviting us for the event, giving us (bloggers ) the opportunity to chill out on a Saturday Night. Though, I was late for the party, thanks to Sumit (@simplesumit) for turning up late for the event as usual….we had a hick up at the entry, as the babe (foster babe) was like : “Sir, no stags allowed, get a chick for yourself” . That was the time when I wished, I had brought a chick not Sumit to the party..hehe, but finally she let us in.

Met Kinshuk, with his long beard ( …looking like a daaku ) with fellow bloggers( @yadurajiv @shayonpal @prolificd @mojosanjay @manugoel @kinshuksunil ..and more ) and beer lovers ( …also babe lovers ) …. DJ played trance at the start, guess this was just to build up the party. Wish there was a larger crowd and of course… more women would have been fun.

Our mission was to cover the table with foster pint bottles, but towards end of the party we were 17 short to 50 bottles! The food was yummy, and as a foodie said : ‘yummy yummy in my tummy’. Paneer, haryaali kebabs, fried chicken and the best mutton kebabs were served!! … no wonder i grow fat whenever I go to a party !

After the sumptuous snacks and discussing about the GHOST GUY, we headed for the dance floor and yes! we all rocked the floor with Kinshuk’s – Raj Kapoor/brown T beer dance and Sumit’s – Tattoo dance . DJ at the end played chumma chumma which was good enough to end the party and shoo away people from the dance floor…. OK, NO music, NO babes..what next …>>> FOOD !!

Food was yummy, the gates were open, everyone hunting for the non-veg snacks with biryani. Finally we all said ‘AU REVOIR “ and departed… that was the end of a GREAT PARTY…!! ..

Again, special thanks to Indibloggers, you rock man!! ..and fellow bloggers for coming up and making this party a memorable one.

Cheers!

What Can We Expect From Bluetooth 3.0 ?

:: Faster Short-Range Speeds
Bluetooth 3.0 will reportedly transfer files at rates of 480 megabits (60 Megabytes) per second in close proximity, and 100 megabits (12.5 Megabytes) per second at 10 meters. At those speeds, high-quality streaming video is a definite possibility, along with a host of other applications that are simply impractical with the current transfer rates.

:: Enhancement
In addition to pumped-up speed, Bluetooth 3.0 could also feature “Enhanced Power Control,” which reduces those annoying headset disconnects caused by putting your phone in your pocket or purse.

:: Smart Transfer
With Bluetooth 3.0, camcorders will stream video footage or still photos to Bluetooth enabled televisions and computers; digital cameras will stream photo slideshows to cell phones, and laptops will have the ability to transfer presentations wirelessly to a projector. Use your imagination — the possibilities are really exciting.

:: Low Power Consumption
What’s unique about Bluetooth is its low cost and low power consumption, allowing it to be used in devices such as cell phones where cost and power consumption are huge concerns for developers. However, Bluetooth technology has struggled in its efforts to be adopted widely.

:: High bandwidth Eliminating Interference
Bluetooth 3.0 will operate in the 6-9 GHz range rather than the current 2.4 GHz range, eliminating the concern of interference from wireless networks and other devices that use the 2.4 GHz range.

:: It’s Compatible
Best of all, Bluetooth 3.0 will be backwards-compatible, so all of your old devices will be able to communicate with the new ones and vice versa. New devices will feature a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth radio on the same radio chip, or its own separate chip. But bear in mind that transfer speeds are only as fast as the slowest device, meaning that the two will exchange data at the slower, 3-megabit rate of Bluetooth 2.1.
With more than one billion in use that utilize Bluetooth wireless technology, one can image the number to grow sharply if Bluetooth 3.0 is able to deliver what they have announced.
