Pink Chaddi Campaign
Dear All,
You may have heard of the Pink Chaddi Campaign that kicked off three days ago to oppose the Sri Ram Sene. The campaign is growing exponentially (1,300 at this point in the life of our Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women) and that is not surprising. Most women in this country have enough curbs on their lives without a whole new franchise cashing in with their bully-boy tactics. Of course, a lot of men have joined the group as well.
Here is we want to do with the Pink Chaddi Campaign. Join in. Be imaginative, have fun and fight back!
Step 1: It does not matter that many of us have not thought about Valentine's Day since we were 13. If ever. This year let us send the Sri Ram Sene some love. Let us send them some PINK CHADDIS.
Look in your closet or buy them cheap. Dirt-cheap. Make sure they are PINK. Send them off to the Sene.
The address to send the package is:
Pramod Muthalik,
Chief, Sri Rama Sene,
#11, Behind New Bus Stand, Gokhul Road, Near Lakshmi Park,
HUBLI - Karnataka
If you don't want to mail it yourself, you can drop it off at the Chaddi Collection Points.
you could send it to:
The Pink Chaddi Campaign,
C/O Alternate Law Forum,
122/4 Infantry Road
(opposite Infantry Wedding House)
Bangalore 560001
Karnataka
We will be collecting across the country through this week and sending the packages on February 12. More information about Chaddi Collectors in your city soon on our blog: http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/
Step 2: Send the Pink Chaddi Campaign a photograph of the package.
Tell us how many chaddis you are sending out and inspire other women in other cities. You can either mail the information here or you can mail it at our facebook address. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=49641698651&ref=mf
Step 3: On Valentine's Day we do a Pub Bharo action. Go to a pub wherever you are. From Kabul to Chennai to Guwahati to Singapore to LA women have signed up. It does not matter if you are actually not a pub-goer or not even much of a drinker. Let us raise a toast (it can be juice) to Indian women. Take a photo or video. We will put it together (more on how later) and send this as well to the Sri Ram Sene.
Step 4: After Valentine's Day we should get some of our elected leaders to agree that beating up women is ummm... AGAINST INDIAN CULTURE.
For right now, ask not what Dr VS Acharya, Home Minister of Karnataka can do for you. Ask what you can do for him. Here is his blog.
http://drvsacharya.blogspot.com. Send him some love.

32GB kingston pendrives
I recently went with my friend to buy USB Pen Drives as I had heard that 32GB kingston pendrives were being sold for Rs 500/- .Of course I knew that no company would be selling pendrives at such price, so It was obvious that it was some cheap Chinese product, but being curious, I still went ahead and bought one. tWho knows it may work…
Before Buying the Pendrive I asked the dealer what was its warrantee,he was reluctant to give any although there is a 1-3 year warranty on pendrives .I asked him to confirm properties of the pendrive in windows.He allowed me to do so and it displayed absolute 31.2 GB intact. Then I got curious that how it could be possible? Nevertheless,I purchased the pendrive..
After reaching home when I tried to copy the 4 GB “The Dark Knight” movie, and it got corrupted, that made me thinking again. I Googled and found similar cases arising through eBay. The company website didn't even had the model I purchased listed.I was selectively fooled and then I started experimenting with the pendrive..
Here is what I found -
• On copying pictures and stuff I found out that only till 2GB of data was intact, the rest got corrupted.
• No firmware signature was there..
• Formatting the Pendrive was of no use.
• I tried using windows Disk Check utility to see whether the bad sectors could be recovered but the program used to hang on initiating it.
• The fake took an excessively long time (1 to 10 hours) only 'pretending' writing but the data was not actually being written.
• Several Hidden system folders with random names having files more that 2.5 GB of size appeared randomly eg. 00000.000 will appear and you cannot delete them.
• On opening the pendrive I saw the PCB was in a pretty bad condition,It had a 2GB RAM chip and was patched in firmware to make it look as it was of 32 GB.
I used several programs to find out the actual capacity of pendrive and to format it.
• Check Flash 1.03
• HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8
• i506X USB Flash Disk
(experiment with them :D )
EPILOGUE
The pendrive was dumped into trash after its dissection because it was thoroughly useless.ULTRA Slow transfer speeds,data corruption and random files..It deserved that.
I can say only one thing in the end..BE ORIGINAL, BUY ORIGINAL..

They're still laughing about this at IBM:
Apparently the computer giant decided to have some parts manufactured inJapan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept only three defective parts per 10,000. When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter. 'We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices. But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment.Hope this pleases you.'

Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
God: Hello. Did you call Me?
Me: Called you? No... Who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought
I would chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually
busy now.I am in the midst of something..
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me : Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has
become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity
gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the
way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant
Messaging chat.
God : Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by
giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you
through the Medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell Me, why has life become complicated now?
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is
what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried
about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying
has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much
uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is
optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to
uncertainty. .
God : Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people
always suffer?
God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction.
Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials,
but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not
bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard
teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests?
Why cant we be free from problems?
God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering
Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance mental Strength. Inner strength comes
from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems,
we don't know where we are heading..
God : If you look outside you will not know where you
are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking
inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more
than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a Measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a
Measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying
than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others
work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than
how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you
are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : When they suffer they ask, "why Me?" When they prosper, they
never ask "Why Me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but
few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't
get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine
who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are
here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of
creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the
future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are
not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the
answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
I am so happy to start the New Day with a new sense of
inspiration.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs.
Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve.
Trust Me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.
