Accident at Bangalore Airport
Around 20 minutes back, there was a large explosion and a ball of fire at the Bangalore airport. Not sure what aircraft it was, but some people said that it was LCA (Light Combat Aircraft). I heard the explosion and could see the ball of fire from window. It definitely wasn't a commercial jet. Either it was a helicopter or the LCA.

Megdeskey Entertainment Presents
3-city tour. Hyderabad. Bangalore. New Delhi
Bangalore: 29 October, Saturday 7.30pm at Chowdiah Memorial Hall Tickets: Rs.100/- . Available at Casa Piccola, Gangarams, K.C. Das, Ticket Bazaar (23440336) and at venue (on 28th &29th Oct.)
Inviting one and all to be a part of Pankaj's tour of Hyderabad, Bangalore and New Delhi. Pankaj is a composer and multi-instrumentalist. As a part of his 3 city tour which begins in mid October, 2005 he will be performing at different venues in Hyderabad, Bangalore and New Delhi. 
He is a solo artiste whose compositions carry their own rhythm and sound, imbibed with harmony. They present a lush arrangement of orchestral instruments along with solos on keyboards, percussion and drums. The compositions lend an energetic performance that is powerful, vibrant and passionately tantalizing.
Pankaj was born in Dhanbad. His exposure to music goes back to his childhood days. He started singing and playing tabla, naal, congas, marching drums at an early age. His quest for expanding his musical horizons led him to join Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh, from where he graduated in Indian Classical Music in 1993. Over the years Pankaj has been his own teacher, relentlessly composing, shaping his own style and molding it in ways that best reflect him.
Interestingly most of his compositions have symbolic names which do not convey any particular meaning. To this he says," I want listening to my music to be a completely free process with no prelaid directions....let the person go where the music takes him or let him take the music where he wants to go'.
He is presently based in Hyderabad. To know his tour schedule or any further details, please visit http://www.pankaj.tv/

A Day in the life of an Air Hostess
Recently, Outlook Traveller (Oct 2005) carried an article on a day in the life of an airhostess. They profiled Air Deccan's Soumya. The flight was an ATR flight on Bangalore-Hubli-Belgaum-Bangalore route. The piece gives a balanced view of what is thought to be just a glamorous job. Moreover, Low Cost Carriers are relatively more demanding of their staff in order to increase productivity by cutting/reducing costs.

Go Air doesn't Go!
As mentioned in the last post, the bookings for free tickets on Go Air did open, but only at 1700 hrs and after an innumerous number of changes in the homepage announcement. At one point of time, they even had to mention "This time it is for real. Hit Refresh"! Anyways, even when the bookings opened the server was pathetically slow, and the images were not showing. Nine out of 10 times, 'Service' was 'unavailable'. And you'd think they'd have learnt from Air Deccan's mistakes!! Anyhow, here are two screenshots.
Go Air opens free tickets bookings on Oct 21 2005 - Error Screen
Go Air opens free tickets bookings on Oct 21 2005 - Free Tickets Available! (Test for Mumbai-Ahmedabad)

Fly for free: 10,000 Free Seats
Go Air (promoted by Nusli/Jeh Wadia of Bombay Dyeing group) is starting the bookings today at 1530hrs (right now its 1440 hrs, so, 50 minutes to go). They are giving away 10,000 seats for free. You'd still have to pay 221 Rs as govt tax. (Its sort of equivalent to 1Re Air Deccan ticket.) The routes would most probably be Mumbai-Goa, Mumbai-Ahmedabad, Mumbai-Coimbatore.

Cricketer (1985)
One of the blogs I visit daily, Record Brother, has gone international in its content. And guess what music he went international with? Indian! Record Brother is running Cricketer as the choice of his Indian music. Cricketer is a 1985 movie straring Deepti Naval, Marc Zuber, Saeed Jaffery, Kapil Dev, Bob Willis, Linda Bate. Much before international locales became the norm for bollywood movies, according to this site, Cricketer was filmed predominantly in Birmingham. Thanks Record Brother. Its a treat to listen to these gems. The title music and Sheila o Sheila are particularly neat, and surprisingly groovy.

Pilot or Passenger?
# This morning, Air Deccan started a mega-sale of 50,000 seats on Rs 500-1500! News at New Indian Express, Economic Times.
# Pilot Error is the verdict on the cause of the Oct 9th incident of S2's Boeing (Kolkata-Mumbai flight) overhsooting the Mumbai runway. Turns out that the pilot Eric Verghese, did not have entry permission. How on earth (actually in air!) was he traveling as a passenger with a boarding pass is beyond me. Air Sahara has some explaining to do. In the meantime, S2 is being fined by The Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the losses to the tune of Rs 11 crore plus. The Air Passengers Association of India (APAI), is bringing out the negligence issue and seems to be on the offensive.
# On an unrelated note, the Air Passengers Association of India (APAI) is running a membership campaign for air passengers. For membership contact : 2836545 or SMS to 'apai' - 9840746050. AAPI seems to have been fairly active, demanding the audit of budget carriers and all. I did't know that there is such a body. They even have a website, for cryin out loud!

Air Sahara has some explaining to do. In the meantime, S2 is being fined by The Airports Authority of India (AAI) for the losses to the tune of Rs 11 crore plus. The Air Passengers Association of India (APAI), is bringing out the negligence issue and seems to be on the offensive.
# On an unrelated note, the Air Passengers Association of India (APAI) is running a membership campaign for air passengers. For membership contact : 2836545 or SMS to 'apai' - 9840746050. AAPI seems to have been fairly active, demanding the audit of budget carriers and all. I did't know that there is such a body. They even have a website, for cryin out loud!

You'll Know Less After Reading This!

You'll Know Less After Reading This!
Sometime back, /. carried a story on how Quantum Information Can be Negative. "If I tell you negative information, you'll know less. Apparently, researchers hope to use this to gain deeper insights into phenomena such as quantum teleportation and computation, as well as the very structure of the quantum world". Some real funny comments on the story follow.
"
# True
After trying to read those articles, I do feel like I know less.
# When I was in high school
a friend and I used to joke that there were people who gave off destructive mental interference waves. Sitting next to these people would result in a decrease in brain function because their brainwaves were 180 degrees out of phase than the brainwaves of normal people, thus cancelling them out and creating a thought-free zone.
Of course negative information is cool, but it would be even cooler if you could combine negative information and positive information to produce a huge explosion.

Re:When I was in high school
Maybe things have changed in the last 10 years, but back when I was in high school we called these people "girls".

Re:When I was in high school
Actually, proximity to girls caused higher brain functions to be transferred to an area just below the waist. You could still technically think, but it was limited in scope.

I've been studying negative information for years. I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the subject, actually. Initially, I believed that negative information was an abstract math concept, but after a significant amount of additional study I've determined rather conclusively that it exists in our frame of reference and that the effects are actually easy to detect. The trick is to *locate* some of this negative information. Fortunately, I've managed to work that out as well -- I'm not publishing for a few months yet, but I figure I'm far enough along to spill some of the beans:
Experiencing negative inforamtion is all about occupying a point in space and time which intersects with the negative information stream. This was initially tricky, but through months of tireless research I've worked out the optimal conditions: I find that your best chance of encountering it is roughly around 1 AM when you're at the bar with your friends after a long night of drinking and one of them says something along the lines of, "Awright! Time for some shots!"
Bang! Negative information. What happened after that? How did I get home? All lost in the quantum flow, never to be accurately described by anyone involved (except, occasionally and for reasons I still haven't managed to factor into my equations, the bouncer and the police). I assume the headaches and liver damage are just a nominal side effect."

Wi-Fi in campuses
Yesterday's Times of India carried an article about the educational campuses getting Wi-Fi networked. I gave inputs on the IIMB Wi-Fi connectivity. The article can be seen at ToI site: Graphic version, Text version.
Apart from article, more thoughts on Wi-Fi:
# IIMB is already Wi-Fi enabled. It was one of the early select experimental wi-fi spots in Bangalore that an industry consortium 2 years back had decided upon. The actual campus-wide implementation by IIMB has happened this year.
# As the campus is huge, it helps students a lot in being mobile while also being in touch with the data and work all the time. Also, work can now be mixed with social settings outside your hostel room. You dont have to be on your desk to finish the statistical analysis on the market research submission. You can be in the mess (canteen), drinking coffee, discussing with other group members while working on that last-minute project submission. Since a good number of students have laptops, the availability of wi-fi enables group-work at a totally different level. Also, since a good number of students have an on-line/web presence, wi-fi helps them stay connected and updated irrespective of their coordinates.
# ISB, Hyderabad is Wi-Fi enabled. XIME (Xaviers Institute of Management and Entrepreneurship), Bangalore also went wi-fi in January this year. IIITB (Indian Institute of Information Technology Bangalore) also could be wi-fi but a not sure.

Aviation, Biking...
# Even as Fractional ownership takes root in India, I am waiting for the Netjets scenario to happen. Check out Club One Air's plans.
# Just When Airlines Thought Things Couldn't Get Worse, the fuel prices skyrocketed. I 'luv' the blokes at Southwest. They hedged the fuel at 55$ in June, a seemingly bad decision at that time. Currently, the ATF prices are hovering around 70$. You know who's laughing now! Sadly, in India, fuel hedging is not allowed yet.
# Check this neat site 60kph out. A group for bikers in India. Very professionaly done, nice meeting place for the adventurous.

Brutalities in Bangalore.
I know Nimish personally, and just now talked to him. Very tragic. It says a lot about the babudom and their terror-wielding techniques. We'll get the bastards though.
-----Original Message-----
From: iiml@yahoogroups.com [mailto:iiml@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Nimish Adani

Subject: [IIML] brutalities in bangalore
Hi!
I would like to bring to notice a certain injustice that I have subjected to at the Bangalore Railway Station (Majestic). On September 30 (Friday), 2005, I had been to the station to see off my fiance and her mother. They took the Karnataka Express (Train #2627) to Jhansi at 6:30 pm.
On my way out I was asked to present my platform ticket by a railway official. On producing the same, the TT turned around and told me "What if I say that you haven't given me the ticket?" Before I could react, he along with his colleague pushed me into the adjacent enquiry cabin and physically manhandled me. I was slapped several times, my spectacles were grabbed and deliberately crushed by foot, and my phone was flung away from me. The RPF comprising of one RPF and four constables, appeared on the scene. The surrounding public was whisked away. None of the railway police officials cared to listen to me and they started hitting me indiscriminately with lathis. They dragged me out, and all the 4 constables continued hitting me with lathis from Platform 1 to Platform 3/5, till we reached the station master's cabin. Racist abuses and threats were made on the way. At the station master's cabin, I was told that I have been charged with a non-ba! ilable offence and would be behind bars for 15 days.
Not for a single moment was I allowed to speak. All of a sudden a stranger came to the scene and he claimed that he was there to help me. Having lost all my physical strength and mental senses, I was happy to see some sort of help. He, claiming to be V Srinivas from Infosys, talked to the officials and the railway police in Kannada. He told me that the only way I was to get out was if I was willing to pay my way through. Being in no state to make a rational choice, I gave him my ATM card and pin. He took one of the RPF chaps along with him and said he would clear the matter. He returned some time later saying that everything was okay now.
I was asked to sign a statement which said that I hit the police and TT in a drunken state. I refused. Finally, they pressurized me to write that I did not produce a platform ticket when asked. I wrote the same and then V Srinivas took me out of the station. He joined me in an auto and took me to the ICICI ATM at Anand Rao circle. He withdrew Rs. 15000 from my ATM and got back. he took the cash under the pretext that while helping me he had left his wallet in the train he had left behind and that he would return the same through his ICICI Internet account. Having broken down mentally I did not realise that I was being cheated. He then took me to a Samsung showroom and tried purchasing a cellphone worth Rs. 18500 with my card. It was only then that I realised what was happening. I grabbed my card back, caught him by the collar, snatched my cash that lay in his pocket, and got into a running auto.
I have now realized that all of this was a plan. There is a strong nexus between the railway officials, the railway police and the fraudster. The railway officials identify a victim who they think is well-to-do, the RPF beat that individual till he has no physical or mental well-being. Then this fraud chap comes on to the scene, takes advantage of the situation, and takes all your cash away. Also, this series of events generally occurs on the last day of the month as they know that the salary gets credited on this day. (This strikes me now because the self-proclaimed Infy employee, V Srinivas, clearly asked me whether I had received my salary. He said that he just wanted to find out if there was cash enough to tackle the case.)
Now three days hence, I have tried to run from pillar to post. I have been forced to miss office hours in my effort to get justice. But I don't want to give up the fight midway. If any of you are in the media, or have friends/relatives who are in the industry, I'd like to speak with them about this in greater detail. I can be reached on 09886179319 or 08030933067. I believe it would catalyze my efforts.
Also, please pass this email to all the people who reside in Bangalore, so that they don't fall into the same trap.

I know Nimish personally, and just now talked to him. Very tragic. It says a lot about the babudom and their terror-wielding techniques. We'll get the bastards though.

Hi!
I would like to bring to notice a certain injustice that I have subjected to at the Bangalore Railway Station (Majestic). On September 30 (Friday), 2005, I had been to the station to see off my fiance and her mother. They took the Karnataka Express (Train #2627) to Jhansi at 6:30 pm.
On my way out I was asked to present my platform ticket by a railway official. On producing the same, the TT turned around and told me "What if I say that you haven't given me the ticket?" Before I could react, he along with his colleague pushed me into the adjacent enquiry cabin and physically manhandled me. I was slapped several times, my spectacles were grabbed and deliberately crushed by foot, and my phone was flung away from me. The RPF comprising of one RPF and four constables, appeared on the scene. The surrounding public was whisked away. None of the railway police officials cared to listen to me and they started hitting me indiscriminately with lathis. They dragged me out, and all the 4 constables continued hitting me with lathis from Platform 1 to Platform 3/5, till we reached the station master's cabin. Racist abuses and threats were made on the way. At the station master's cabin, I was told that I have been charged with a non-ba! ilable offence and would be behind bars for 15 days.
Not for a single moment was I allowed to speak. All of a sudden a stranger came to the scene and he claimed that he was there to help me. Having lost all my physical strength and mental senses, I was happy to see some sort of help. He, claiming to be V Srinivas from Infosys, talked to the officials and the railway police in Kannada.

Bad Clippy. Bad Baad Clippy.
I always had wondered about the privacy issuess with clipboard contents on public/shared computers when one user leaves and another occupies it without a logoff. The following information I recently got, confirmed the fears, only worse. Now I am having kafkaesque dreams imagining what all info I must have given out unknowingly to dubious sites.
"Many times, as a matter of convenience, you may copy information to your Windows clipboard to paste into a web form. Even something like a credit card number, to save having to type it out. With an exploitation of Java script, a hacker could grab the information from your clipboard and you would never know it.
To demonstrate this, copy anything to your clipboard, part of this message for instance. Then go to this link and you quite likely will see the contents of your clipboard right on the page. If you're running Firefox, you will not see the clipboard contents because of that browser's minimal java support. This site is harmless and is just a demonstration to illustrate that clipboard contents may not be 100% private and to use this Windows feature with caution, at least when using the Internet.
It is true, text you last copied for pasting (copy & paste) can be stolen when you visit web sites using a combination of JavaScript and ASP (or PHP, or CGI) to write your possible sensitive data to a database on another server. Hopefully you haven't copied a credit card number recently before surfing! This page will clear your clipboard."
