Doesnt require another word of explanation. Anyone and everyone knows what I am talking about, and definately do not want to hear more about it.
This article published in indian express talks about the scams and schemes the indian govt plans to fill the pockets of the politicians and gather votes from the uneducated poor in the name of eradicating poverty. An interesting read...

Why governments tremble over Google Earth
from cnet news.com
says that the images in google earth are available for the public on the net!! really?? and that u cannot force info to be out of the net! yes u cant, but atleast u can make it less available instead of being available on the most popular google maps/earth. oh and most shockingly, it says US govt did not ask it to hide any of US images!! really?? why not try searching for white house on the maps.google.com.. ull c it all blurred out!! if they can respect the privacy of US why not respect the privacy of other countries too!!
a russian minister has said rightly "they dont need any recon now, a US company is working for the terrorists!!".

blogging techniques , brief review.
phew, had a hard time deciding where to blog. so many options.. tried 3 - blogger, msn spaces and yahoo 360. did i finally settle down to blogger then? i still dont know. i might change the location in future. but for now, this is where my blog will be.
i wanted to do a review of all the 3 here actually but then , i realized when i was writing that i dont know much abt either of them so i m not the right person to review them.
but anyway, blogging is abt giving unwanted views to the public.. so here are my views abt the 3 -
blogger :
the good - simplest of the 3, u hav a lot of control on ur posts. "just for blogging"
the bad - not too many templates. there may be 3rd party templates available but i did not search, not too many features as compared to other 3 in terms of permissions on who can view ur blog. but hey, ur blogging for the public..
yahoo 360 - well i dint spend much time on this one. features - contacts list, calendar, photo album etc. the more the features, the more confusing it will be to setup. templates - dint find them (wasnt in a mood to try harder enough)
msn spaces:
the good - lots of features again. i felt this was simpler than yahoo 360. nice photo album, permissions on who can view. i liked the music list on it, u can create a music list and it is linked to music.msn.com. viewers of ur blog can view ur music list and can even play a short snippet of the songs and can buy them at 99 cents per song.. i dont know abt available templates.
the bad - what i dint like abt it is the default ad that appears on ur blog. also it gives a link to archives of the months that have no blogs posted... strange. also it comes with the standard crammed up feeling of msn/hotmail.
