So its celebration time as Slumdog has won Oscars like chocolates in a kids’ competition. Oh yes our very own A R Rahman has won 2 Oscars and that is the first time for India. It is great in so many ways. The biggest advantage i see is to Media as they have got the masala for whole of the next month (And keeping that in mind i already have almost decided to avoid TV (which in any case i already don’t watch for more than 10 minutes a day and that too is not working these days) and newspaper in coming 2 weeks, as there would be nothing to read and watch except (O)scars ). ...

It has been close to 2 years since i have been using Dish TV. And almost everything related with it sucks except the only reason because of which i went for it that there was ETC Punjabi available here (which is not there in TataSky). The remote control, customer care, service, website everything is all crap. The biggest frustration is the website. First of all it seems to be coded by some kids doing their school project. Then the options available are placed in such a dumbo and stupid manner. Since the time i bought it, i have never been able to recharge it without getting frustrated. Zee network, enterprise of such a big size, cannot pay for a nice looking and working website. BULLSHIT ! ...
