Mithwa from KANK on keyboard

Beautiful song from a bad movie!

Playful Paws

This is Paws at five and half months. Though he looks big, he is still a puppy and always wants to play. Whenever he wants to play, he just grabs whatever is around, like a piece of cardboard in this video, and expects me to pull it while he holds it in his mouth.

My keyboard skill seems to be improving !

Bangalore getting 3G on 20th Feb?

Today I got a message on my Airtel (ironically) postpaid number which indicated that BSNL is going to launch 3G on 20th of this month. The message read:

"BSNL Launching 3G !!! Video Call, Mobile TV, Speed Upto 7.2 Mbps @ Re 1 PM, For details call 9400024365. Available at Ur Nearest Retailer/CSC after 20th Feb"

By calling the number mentioned above (from a BSNL number) you can get the details of 3G tariff. I was able to call the number as I got a BSNL prepaid sim only yesterday, lucky me :) Existing 2G customers have to pay Rs. 120 to migrate to 3G plan and will be getting 3 month validity with some amount of talk time. I forgot the charges for voice and video calls but they were pretty reasonable. Data transfer would be charged at 1p/10KB (almost unbievable).

I am not sure what Re 1 PM in the message meant. It is either Re 1 per minute or per month (both would be insane). In any case if its coming on 20th I am getting it on 20th.
