Does ATM stand for Any Time Money? Think again…
2007-12-06 13:44:00
Now the acronym ‘ATM’ will have dual meanings - Any Time Money and Any Time Milk. Vending machines are quite popular in the west. You will find them at every nook and corner of the country, be it gas stations, public places or even offices, they are everywhere. However, in India, vending machine culture is yet to catch up. Amul, the number one brand in India, may set the tone for vending machine culture by announcing the launch of 24/7 milk vending machines or ATMs (Any Time Milk). This may come as a boon for modern day nuclear families who are pressed for time. These ATMs will have supply of milk sachets of various sizes dispensed to end users via coins and tokens. These ATMs have already setup in Gujarat on trial basis and will be replicated all over the country in coming months. This seems to be a novel idea, but we will have to wait and watch on how successful this gets. According to report published in ET: State government officials confirmed that the co-operative...

Trak.in blog has made fool of its readers !!!!
2007-12-03 17:58:00
First off, the comment above goes to show how far some readers can go to dissect a blog. Second, the comment made was without any knowledge of how Analytics code works and third I was surprised that this kind of comment was left on another blog, instead of seeking simple clarifiaction or leaving a comment on this blog.

Cost of living in Indian cities not too expensive afterall?
2007-11-27 05:38:00
Now that I am moving back to India, one of the aspect that I am closely looking at is the cost of living in Indian cities. Contrary to my belief, one of the recent surveys showed Indian cities not being too expensive compared to its counterparts across the globe, even after sharp rise in rupee and booming economy. The survey conducted by Hong Kong-based ECA International showed that Mumbai, most expensive city in India, ranks lowly at 177 worldwide and poor 24th in Asia. I had always been under the impression that Mumbai was one of the top expensive cities in World let alone Asia. One of the reasons may be that this survey does not consider Real Estate.

The new era of mobile content broadcasting and distribution
2007-11-24 17:44:00
It is amazing to see how television broadcasting has changed over past 10-15 years. Earlier, we used to watch anything that was dished out to us on Doordarshan, be it Nukkad, be it films division cartoons (do you remember those?) or Sunday serials and bland evening movies. And today, even with 100 channels beaming on our TV sets, we crib about lack of choices. And to fulfill this demand (do we really need more channels?) there are hundreds of new channels slated to be launched.

Sabeer Bhatia brings Microsoft Office 2007 Online?.for free!
2007-11-21 20:06:00
It is clearly a strategy for Microsoft buy-out. Using Live (the new avatar of Microsoft) name, the same icons and pushing it as Office online- without being affiliated to Microsoft. Live Documents has every stamp of "Made by Microsoft", although in reality it has been developed by bunch of engineers in Bangalore for Instacoll.

Addictive e-parody!
2007-11-20 22:01:00
In continuation to the funny look of Microsoft Search Engine - MSDewey.com , Uncyclopedia.org is another site that has got into notice. The site looks to be a spoof of the well-contented, encyclopedia Wikepedia.org. Try opening these sites together and every word, link and tag lines of the former site seems to be a mockery of the latter.

?Hey Ya? - can move mountains | Learnings from everyday sights
2007-11-20 21:41:00
Strolling up the narrow Matharpacady by-lanes, in Mumbai, I was stopped in my tracks by sounds ?heyy ya'. More shouts, in baritone unison, followed. And still more, in a smooth and consistent rhythm. Initial alarm, at something gone wrong, soon turned into amusing relief, at my sighting a mathadi gang, labouring in moving a transformer, up a narrow incline, within the cloistered confines of vintage houses.

A unique travel package: Tour Asia?s largest slum ? Dharavi
2007-11-15 22:01:00
I do cover a lot of online travel agencies and destinations on this blog, but most of them cover elite and traditional travel destinations. But today?s post talks about a place that is known for poverty and notoriety. I accidentally stumbled upon this site of a traditional travel agency that offers guided tours to Dharavi?.yes, Dharavi ? The largest slum in Asia . I was amazed when I read that because Dharavi is not a place where you would ideally like to be in most circumstances (at least that?s what most of us think!).
