Hangout with Obama - Mr.President?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/23/obama-to-hang-out-in-google-chat-to-discuss-state-union/

Is anyone planning to chat with Mr.President? Google is trying very hard to promote their google plus arent they?
I wanted to ask him about citizenship to the students who finish their grad in US. How is this going to fix economy? This math isnt exactly going to address unemployment problem is it?

What would you to like to ask him?



I think he handled well and he was good.

Life,Liberty aka Homogeneity,Standardisation

Last night's debate about "English immersion in our schools" from Mitt Romney got me thinking about India.

I don't understand these Republicans. They kind of sound like India/Indians to me. Every single Indian focuses on standardizing the nation. Why? Cant diversity and respect to individual co-exist at same time? Why cant a nation be a conglomerate of different subculture, and still stand tall as a nation? Why cant an individual be given option to pursue what he want?

The best thing about being me... There are so many "me"s - Agent Smith from Matrix
India acts like Agent Smith. Agent Smith and Hitler aren't very different in my opinion. Agent Smith wanted everyone to turn to him, and Hitler wanted everyone who werent like him or werent to his liking to die.

Indian central government's main focus is to standardize the nation and the citizens. They want every citizen of India to speak in Hindi, follow Hinduism, be a vegetarian, and want all women to wear sari ghoongat(Hindu Indian hijab), everyone to go for arranged marriage with no option of divorce, hate British, forget and give up regional pride and identity and fight with Pakistan and Muslims all time. Why?

The funny thing is they want everyone to speak one language and follow one religion and have one cause ie to defend India from Pakistan but cant give up caste, family lineage customs/pride or hierarchy and always link any individual success and failure with his/her family,caste,regional state.

Other than Pakistan-Kashmir issue , no issue in India is given any attention. Inmates of Manipur and Assam has to tolerate violence on daily basis but Indian government wont lend an ear to their concerns or grievance. Same with Southern states.

Melting pots:
Many may call America as melting pot and assume that India isn't. If America is melting pot of different countries and different cultures and different races, India is a melting pot of different states and different culture and different languages.

America is relatively young comparing to India. India is an ancient country with rich culture. Indian government's expectation is for the regional states to forget and give up their culture and tradition and pride to standardize and follow one language, one religion, one culture to achieve "unity" "uniformity"??!! - is it possible to achieve without committing crime against humanity?

Gerber, Microsoft, Google etc.,:
20th century ads of Gerber had a white baby and the ads of today has different babies from different ethnic background. If you cant walk a thorny path it is better and easier to wear sandals. Expecting and fighting for carpet to be installed in every path you want to walk on isn't a good idea.
Microsoft is an American company, and the whole Internet was found and made by people who speak English. But it is not confined to English and none of these tycoons force you to learn English to use their products. They create tools to make it work for non-English speaking crowd and they don't deny the service. Adaptability or capitalism , not sure but works for everyone - so win win.

How exactly removing bilingual education in schools is going to help?
Why would republicans like to dictate the rights of individual?
Why are they obsessed with war so much? Support war over NASA?
Deny mother's right for abortion?
Dictate the sexual preference of the man/woman who serve the country?
Decide and override individual choice and lifestyle?
What exactly are they trying to achieve?

What do you prefer diversity or uniformity? What is your view conservative or liberal?

Celebration and Confession

Wow! I have 500 followers.
This really calls for a celebration. Sometimes I kinda exaggerate things and say aloud that "I would like to drink to death and was hungover all around the weekend and stuff"
In reality I had never taken alcohol in my life. Not to carry "holier than anyone" card when I hit pearly gates to get preferential treatment or anything. I am not too much of selfcontrol person, so I always feel scared that I may get addicted to alcohol, so I never dare to try those.
And yep, may people ask me when they know real me, "then you do you try hard to sound as a badass anyway". Why? I really dont know.
Both at work and with friends I usually say I want to drink heavy and smoke some pot and says things, "If I werent married would love to hit bar and hangout with sailors" and in reality I had never stepped my foot in bar either and was a virgin when I married by one and only boyfriend. I hear what you say - I am not totally fake. I am not a vegetarian.
Anyway, whenever I see or hear people saying about drugs, I could only imagine or relate to the experience I had when I had my surgery around 8 years ago. (Yep, more like hardcore vegetarian connecting eggplant's taste to chicken) It was more like Matrix kind of experience. And it took arund 3 hours for me to wake up and I could only see everything blurry for around 1 hour after I got up. Other than that never had any different smoky, trancy experience other than my regular dreams.
And the funny part was , the surgeon after I got up, came to my bed and asked me whether I was doing drugs in hostel and promised me that whatever I share would be kept in secret. He said he found that out that I was doing drugs because he had to overdose me because I woke up during surgery.
Yep, that day the reverance I had for physicians dropped a bit. He should have sued the drug company which couldn't keep me - "a total fake badass"- sedated during the time of surgery.

Should I really try smoking? weed? beer? alcohol? Would my kids laugh at me when they grow up if I carry this nerd, fakebadass label?

Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol

I love MI- Mission Impossible series.
MI1 more like "If tomorrow comes"- by Sidney Sheldon, vintage/classic. No fancy complex gimmicks but plain tricks and awesome imagination and wonderful plot. Cant forget the NOKIA phone (5100?) in that movie. Many may have helicopter blade scene, iconic cable hanging scene as their favorite.
MI2 is more like small scale/prototype of "Inception-Chris Nolan" and "Mythology-story-from-Biochemist". I loved the entire cast in this movie. Handsome villain with cute accent and cute girlfriend. Pretty original and believable plot and awe factor stunts.
Bike in air fight?
MI3 is more like Matrix. Techno-trance-dream kinda experience. You can feel pretty high without actually getting high. I liked everything except the ugly wife. And also loved to understand the fact that I wasn't disappointed to not know the actual purpose of anti-god - rabbit's foot.
MI4 - comparing to the above, the awe factor isn't that great. But for the effort that had been put in, it wouldn't do justice if I say so. The movie doesn't disappoint your high expectations.

Plot:
Ethan hunt is in Budapest jail where he is rescued from his voluntary imprisonment, along with friend Bognan by IMF team lead Jane Carter. The mission is to get the launch codes stolen by Sabine Moreau(Assassin) for COBALT - Kurt Hendricks a Hitler kinda of madman who likes to erase or vaporise the incompetent country,people (Seattle? America? really?) by triggering nuclear war. First, he steals the launch device from Kremlin after setting up America-Hunt-IMF team by piggybacking their frequency. US lets the IMF team loose with one coach of gadgets in train, to deny the ties with IMF - the chief suspect in Kremlin bomb blast.
Then he gets the launch codes and uses the TV satellite from (India-SUN network?) and overrides all authorisation by hacking russian communication for nuclear missile launch and Ethan hunt as usual after all gravity defining, probability challenging stunts and attempts, stops the launch and saves the world.

Gadgets: ( 2011 is it? the gadgets were more like high school projects)
Briefcase printers - Wear your techno contact lens and the scan would trigger printouts in briefcase. Future of fax and xerox.
Mini Skydive - Wear a metal dress and the magnet, mobile robot(more like mars mission of NASA like) would move around while you can float around by magnetic force.
Glass tower climbing - Wear a special glove with LED indicator which can indicate that green is full suction and full clasp and red isn't. (Vacuum/Suction attachments if MI1 and MI2 are too noisy??)
Mask maker - the mask maker from MI3, 3D image fails miserably here because of disownment and costcosting by IMF?
Realtime projector - I liked this one. Creative and impressive. Ipad,camera and a high resolution projector to recognise the vision of the individual and display him the screen.

Tom Cruise(Ethan Hunt):
I used to be a huge fan of Tom Cruise during my teen years. And after his Nichole Kidman and after understanding the age difference I let him off, yeah sour grapes :) If I had known early that he could be so awesome and perform so good in his 50s and his wife would have my same birthdate as mine, I wouldnt have pulled down those posters of him from my room. :)
You cant stop appreciating his efforts in this movie. In bollywood, all the actors in their 50s,60s stop with wooing heroines of their grand kid's age and chasing them around trees and leave all these stunts to graphics.
Jail breakout scene and the Burj Khalifa tower stunt and sandstorm chase proves that this guy still has got it all. I may watch 3 or 4 more of MI series for Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt totally.

Paula Patton(Jane Carter):
To do justice to the teleseries Cinnamon Cater, this movie has Jane Carter(Paula Patton).

She looked more like taller and prettier(?) version of me, maybe that is why I liked her in this movie ;-). And like Cinnamon Carter, she is assigned to lure Bollywood Anil Kapoor,satellite owner guy in this movie. And what else? Kick that cute little Moreau-Assasin girl/Asset from Burj Khalifa in Dubai to avenge her one-scene boyfriend's(Trevor Hanaway) murder.
The kajal(mascara) in her eyes during India seduce scene at Taj hotel, oh my! excuse yourself and please dont overdo the mascara. That many layers of Kajal/Mascara would have done justice if she had to wear a saree but she was in a cocktail dress. (The later dress change scene in the car would have been more racy if she had to switch from Sari and blouse to her fight costume. ;-)

Ugly wife

I dunno MI series has this magic, make 2nd rate/3rd rate actresses and villains look so pretty,handsome and awesome.
(That is the reason I call Michelle Lynn Monaghan-Hunt's wife Julia, the ugliest woman on earth even the MI magic couldnt do anything with her unfortunate looks, even Ugly Betty looked damn pretty to me next to her picture).
Please dont even try to compare her with Sandra Bullock.
Jeremy Renner(Bill Brandt)
Thank god this hurtlocker cowboy hero wasnt a loose cannon here. Is Tom Cruise trying to pull Mummy-BrendonFraser-LukeFord , Indy-HarrisonFord-ShiaLaBeouf kinda thing here with Ethan Hunt and Bill Brandt. Bad idea. Here he plays an analyst who after carrying guilt as failed security detail joins IMF team of Ethan Hunt to help him out. I really wished that they killed that ugly wife. But they didnt, she makes an appearance in the end here. Still not pretty. Some girls can never fit the label even if you attach romantic, sexy, charity, victimy, crybaby labels. right?
Lea Seydoux(Sabrine Moreau) - Cute, pretty , Chanel, Victoria Secret kinda model looks. Her beauty did justice maynt be to the role but a total eyecandy. Would loved to see more of her ;-) or more scenes with her :)

Hot assassin

[To prove my point, she looks way hotter in MI4 than the topless picture of hers in Bing images]
Simon Pegg(Benji Dunn) - Chatty/nerdy/comic loose cannon stereotype hacker.
Michael Nyqvist (Kurt Hendricks) - Villain, bad man, mad man stereotype.


Anil Kapoor(Brij Nath)- I really didnt understand the purpose of him here at all. Like Run-lola-run Franka Potente, where any german related movie had to have a scene with this woman, now for any scene in India should have someone from Slumdog millionaire- is it? Agent Carter seduces him to get some verbal 5 letter code ? IMF cost cutting to blame? Whatever?

I liked and admired this movie. And Tom Cruise deserves a pat on the back for this in his 50s.

Why I am never buying LG again in my life?

We bought a LG 3D LED tv from LG for 1300 this September and the TV broke in December of same year. The screen started to display white and black stripes and for a month, yep whole of holidays was spent with huge broken TV at home.

My broken TV and desktop monitor as TV.

We called LG and the reply and response from LG team was so terrible and horrible. No apologies no proper response, I wonder whether their customer service was located because it was more like ordering burger in chinese fast food restaurant for any question and anything only got same reply.

US : "Technician from your authorised repair centre is not even looking into the issue.He is ordering parts which takes 2-3 weeks to arrive and doing trial and error based fix"
Customer service: "LG doesnt care. LG wont look into it unless you have problem more than 30 days"

US : "Christmas, New year and whole holiday was spent with broken TV in home"
Customer service: "LG has manufacturer warranty for 1 year and anything that is wrong with product will be repaired by LG at its own discretion"

US: "I had to stay home to engage your technician who doesnt even touch the tv or analyse the problem"
Customer service: "It is LG's discretion to repair or not to repair or replace or not to replace, you dont have right to comment LG service"

US: " I bought TV for 1300 and it broke within 4 months of purchase and I am stuck with broken TV for a month"
Customer service: "As per LG policy, no guarantee , no deadline, no promise for replacement.As per LG policy, it can take years to fix your issue and if it exceeds warranty time, LG has rights to deny service after warranty period" (WTF?)

US: " How long should I need to take off from work to engage your technician?how long should I be paying comcast cable charges if you cant promise or commit a date to fix the issue?"
Csutomer service: "You have two options, 1. Settle with broken TV. else only option is to engage technician till he finds the problem and declare it unrepairable and LG doesnt have timeline or deadline or definite number of calls it can make to declare it broken and provide replacement"

US: "This is first and last LG product. If I get this response what about people who have broken AC or heater at home?"
Customer service : " LG policy remains the same, either they can settle for the broken product and tolerate LG team till they fix the issue which carries no deadline or promise of replacement"

US: "Forget about the broken tv in home and emotional distress, what about the seller/buyer customer satisfaction?
Customer service: "LG policy doesnt talk or care about it. LG doesnt care that it doesnt meet your expectation. I am done talking to you, speak to me with your lawyer next time" (And she slammed the phone)
And to add, this person is the supervisor(Amber Mireles). She said she is the top most manager anyone can talk to and no one is above her and her discretion is to deny or not to engage in call with us anymore and deny service if we need to change the schedule of service person to adjust our schedule"

Nissan ad- Trucks cant snowboard - really?

I am down with weather and LG -the competitor for google for next worst customer service had been eating my brain. I would post it next time my horrible experience, I am still learning and memorising and reciting all the bad words from urban dictionary.
And this ad- really - oh my how stupid and crazy does Nissan think we are?
Read the disclaimer :

 "Fantasy, Trucks cant snowboard. Do not attempt. "
- Thank god, the truck didnt jump out of a flying plane and land in JFK and have disclaimer that said  "Fantasy.Trucks cant fly, Do not attempt"
Tommorrow I am expecting a toothbrush ad showing the model combing his hair with toothbrush and the disclaimer,
"Fantasy, Toothbrush cant comb hair. Do not attempt."
Really America? Discovered by Columbus, birthplace of almost all the inventions, land of Edison, land of NASA, and land of lots and land of jackasss and jackass ads too.
Innovation? Really? What innovation? I am saving all my bad words for LG, Nissan you dont want to hear all those.
My deathbed promise I would ask my kids is to refrain from buying LG products ever and if Nissan "innovates" more ads like this, the list would include NISSAN too.


I am hoping to be back to normal by next week. Will catch up with all of your lovely posts soon.

Funny - Resolutions and the results

New year resolution 2012

I have one resolution - give resolution for some who need it desperately.

Fox news:
No more "I didnt get the bus and had to stand for 30 mins waiting for bus" kind of news with hyperduper exaggerated highlight "what happened to one man in bustop and how the crucial time in his life was compromised by CTA"

Facebook:
Ask for 13 digit primenumber before some drunken head posts some crappy message like "I made out with my son's classmate and devirgined him"

Google:
Dont popout options on your own before I figure what I need. Like "Why" displaying opions like "cant own a canadian?"

Twitter:
Report the culprits who use aplhabets for words to Grammar Nazis or force them to watch and listen to Sarah Palin shows.

Smartphone:
Stop autocorrecting my posts/replies/texts. Express yourself not expose yourself. Do you have a sec? not sex. Satan and Santa are like Northpole and way down the hellhole you cant autocorrect Santa to Satan.      

Youtube:
Filter all cat videos for all non-seniors. And Justin Bieber for non-idiots. Stop suggesting Kolveri/Colberry song for all "why" queries.
