Comment on Overdoing the Anna Hazare thing? by Debashish Chakrabarty

Debashish Chakrabarty — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 12:20:59 +0000

@Prem: nice to hear from you after so long. I agree that Anna has the advantage, he is a true Gandhian, a respected civilian and an honest guy (remember, so is Manmohan Singh). Its true that others may not get the popular support, as Anna does. My argument is only that Anna’s team should really not try to deceive the aam janata by saying that whatever the parliament drafts would make a “weak” Lokpal. Frankly speaking, how many of us understand what real Lokpal bill is except perhaps what bodies should come under its ambit. We had the CBI, CVC since ages, adding another body like a Lokpal would not cure corruption with a magic wand. Why not Anna’s team takes the opposition in confidence and create the pressure through elected representatives? At least, that way we will be sure of having a political will behind it. I find it fishy that no political party has pledged support or this team, why? That all are “corrupt” would not be a very convincing argument for that.

Debuda, What can be said now is, not all “Civil Societies” will get this kind of mass support.

The Corruption’s Pandora Boxes will really open IF and only IF a strict law is there. Even they don’t make the law, this society will prove to be great pressure group for lawmakers(irrespective of political parties). The backbone is their strong willpower (also proven profile) for the change.

of course, whats more interesting is when you click on “Yes” or “No” for do you want to accept her invitation, they both go to the same link.

This is so true. Every once in a while, I receive an invite from a good looking girl with a cool looking profile inviting me to join silicon india..

whats more is that I have never known any of the girls that send me the invite.
How come there are no guys??

This is really low. Anyway these invites have now been configured to go directly to spam.

(of course, sometimes the girls are really pretty, so its good to see the mail and then trash it.. but I’ve had it now).

Ha ha ha!! It would have been more plausible had you posted this on 1st April, dunno why you did it in May. Maybe you came to know about this tool after 1st April, but then you could’ve waited till next year!

I too am a victim of this spamming. Twice a week i receive email from some good looking young chick requesting me to add her on my silicon India network. I have never joined silicon India website nor have visited. Efforts to unsubscribe have so far resulted in NOTHING.

Comment on My Japanese Name by Sanjay Dwivedi

Sanjay Dwivedi — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:45:27 +0000

Debashish, I actually found Japanese to be not a tongue twister at all. It is so much close to Hindi actually in how you speak it.

Try to memorize your name using the Japanese alphabet and it will sound like this:
de-ba-shi-shi cha-ku-ra-ba-ru-chi

All these sounds exist in Hindi and if you pronounce exactly as I wrote the Japanese will say “nihongo wa ojozu desune.” Now I am not going to say what it means — maybe you want to find out. It is something nice, though.

I am astounded by the stupidity of someone trying to bully a wiki entry to align with the official line. In fact, these people still seem to believe in Orwellian 1984.
