I stumbled upon this piece of news on Australian ad campaign today - dang, why cant we have effective ads like this ? The last thing I want to see is Sachin in a yet another ad campaign after the media advertises what undies he wears to what he takes for dyspepsia.

Speaking about biking, this website for bike afficionados (Xkmph) made the news today on Indian Express. Apparently, there is a biker’s show on Mysore Road being conducted by the Bangalore chapter. More and more bikers in India are itching for long road trips (from Kanyakumari to Delhi) and associate a cause with it - from deforestation to global warming.

They are taking a leaf out of politicians handbook of survival - if BJP started off on a “Dharma Yuddha” yatra after being unscrupulously dumped by HDK, HDK promises to walk 1000 km a month to justify his stand. Not to be left alone, Congress has scheduled a bus yatra !! It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad India !!

This link (Mother of the year) from Boing Boing had me in splits!

Oh yeah, I am addicted to Stumble Upon!

The first citizen of India, Ms. Pratibha Patil, in her speech on the eve of the Independence day address to the nation as published by The Hindu

Ms. Patil ended her address by invoking Swami Vivekanada’s “immoral clarion call” to fellow-citizens to “Arise, Awake and Stop not till the goal is reached.”

I wonder if she really said that !
