Vote for better India

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section ” 49-O” that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn’t want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these leaders have never disclosed it.

This is called “49-O”.

Why should you go and say ” I VOTE NOBODY”… because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received “49-O” votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way; of our whole political system…. it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public….

Please spread this news to as many as you know…

Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India … show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting… so don’t miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on…

Use your voting right for a better INDIA.

India launches its Chandrayan 1 today from Sriharikota. This marks the entry into new era of space exploration by India. India will enter the league of naions who have succesfully landed on the Moon. Though Man-less mission Chandrayaan will fuel the space program of India.

Google Chrome - First look

Amit Gupta — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:28:08 +0000

I have downloaded Google chrome today. I am impressed in the first glance. Though it will take some more time to understand how will the brower perform. BUt few features which make it stands out are ;

a) Neat and clean look : A new browsing experience and the window seems to gain that extra screen space. The tabs and search bar are intelligently integrated in the browser. Every pixel is optimally utilized.

b) One stop shop : Search , Address bar, suggestive search all integrated in one box. Google makes me LAZZZZY

c) Most visited site : Hmmm… nice tool. I would not say amazing but useful (advertisers will love google for this)

d) Browsing history : Smart way to display history along with time of visit.

More to come ….

Are Customers Sitting Duck

Amit Gupta — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 07:16:04 +0000

Horrible is the word, to explain the feeling when you see customers being called “Sitting Ducks”. I just came across a emailer from Tata Sky targeted at advertisers for thier DTH service.

The mailer gives a feeling how the organization feels about thier subscribers. Customers who pays monthly subscription to be part of the network. They are just addition to growing number of sitting ducks for TATA Sky who can be easily targeted by the advertisers.

Can’t ad agencies treat customers in a better way ???

Down with viral

Amit Gupta — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 06:30:17 +0000

This week has left me weak … this is not what extended weekend are meant to be. Still recovering from the pangs of deadly viral. High fever has forced me to stay indoors and eat very little (surviving on mostly liquid died). Even now as fever is gone , there is a feeling of weakness.

So after a long time, I am looking forward to Monday. Hope I recover fully to resume work.

At last this works

b) India lost the test to Srilanka

c) Olympics kicked off in China on 08.08.08 and icing on the cake being India winning first individual gold @ olympics (Abhinav Bindra made us all proud by winning a gold)
