Puppy tweets! - What has the world come to???
by Karthik on Jan.27, 2010, under Tech, animals

Puppy tweets?!?
I came across this article in Engadget. I’m not really promoting this by writing about it in my blog but actually quite the opposite. Kind of like where we are going with technologies and applications that are made available to us.
It amazes me to realize that there is no limit to how useless we can get!


Help give education to 40,000 children
by Karthik on Jan.18, 2010, under Personal, Uncategorized
Recently came to know about Give India, an NGO that strives hard to eliminate illiteracy among poor. Anoop has written more about their initiatives what support they need from us.
As I have always been saying education is the best thing you can give another human being. Information leads to intelligence and lets help as many people around us with that by voting for Give India. I encourage every one who even just stumbles upon this blog for the very first time to take 2 mins off your time and vote for them. You can find more information about this in Anoop’s blog but I’ll paste it here as well.
“We can blog and vote to save these children as GiveIndia has done the hard work of being our “Man-At-Arms” . they are India’s most trusted and credible NGOs, GiveIndia is taking part in a competition on Facebook to win a US$1 million grant. The winner will be the NGO that gets the highest number of votes from Facebook users. The prize of $1 million will help put or keep 40,000 children across India in school for one year!
But then again, social media has this unique habit of changing the scene over night .. So all is not lost! and here are some details:

Followup on my previous post

First of all, wish you all a very happy and a damn rich new year!
This is followup on my previous post. I’m back and in action after the Nagarcoil vacation. I know this is coming a bit late considering the fact that I was back for Christmas itself ;-p
However, it was a great trip and you can read a lot about it here at Anwin’s blog. As far as me moving to Chennai, its happening this weekend and I’m yet to watch Avatar. But that ok, weekend is nearing already.
Keep watching splitsilla 3 on MTV at 7 pm on saturdays and repeats everyday to watch the indiblogger logo on TV! We are the official blog partner for them. So thats enough followup for now. I’ll see you again later this week with my final post from bangalore.
