I struggled quite a bit to set the gprs up and going on my HTC hero. I use Idea cellular in Maharashtra. So I am gonna do you a favor and tell you how to set it up. First call your customer care and ask them to activate gprs for your number. They will ask your handset type to send you the gprs settings and when you say HTC Hero thier minds go blank(am assuming this is because it is a new model and not yet in thier database). Any way tell them it is HTC, a PDA.
You will get a message that will tell you how to enter the settings manual. basically I did this for my Hero.
Menu->Settings->Wire less controls->Mobile Network Settings-> Acess Point Names-> New APN
it will bring up a menu. In that enter APN Name as “internet” (without the quotes ofcourse). Thats it, leave all the other fields blank. Then Press Menu->Save. Thats it!!!!!!!! You are all set to enjoy GPRS on your phone.
Happy Surfing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a HTC Hero last week. I was debating between iPhone 3g (not 3gs as it is not available in India yet, you suck Apple!!!). But what made me go for HTC hero is probably that it has Andriod and iPhone 3g is so last year. Hero is brand new model. However if iPhone 3gs was available for a simlar price I guess I would have got that.
I am happy with my Hero. It isnt laggy like they say all over the internet. Thats because my hero has the ROM update installed already. So I didnt face any performance issues. However for fun I did root my Hero and installed Modaco ROM v2. It was fun. I dont notice any performance improvement with Modaco but then like I said my Hero had an optimized ROM already. I bet I could never do such cool stuff with an iPhone 3gs which is locked as hell. So I am happy with my choice. The music player is surprisingly very good. Love it. The browser is adorable. You can pinch and zoom just like the iPhone. That’s what I always wanted in a phone, a easy to use browser and this one does the job perfectly.
Now what do I hate about it? The camera. Dont be fooled by its 5 mega pixels. I had a k790i sony erricsson before and it’s camera was fantastic and it had a powerful flash too. The Hero takes lousy photos and it has no flash. A real drawback since I love taking photos impromtu. Other than that I find this phone perfect.

Vicky, Christina and Barcelona. Woody Allen is dirty old man. Christina is a slut who takes no time to fallen in and out of love. Vicky is the one with values and then there’s a predictable middle (or old) aged woman who still loves he husband BUT NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM ANYMORE. Can there be a more mundane, psuedo-intellectual story line?
Not. But Christina is strangely typical of many young women and a few men that are internally damned to a condition of dissatisfaction. But this is a wrong kind of movie. Why? Because it makes it seem like it is okay to be slutty and an irresponsible one at that. Sure there is nothing wrong in being slutty as long as one is aware that they are a slut. But masking sluttiness under any guise is not acceptable. Irresponsibility is not cool. Bad movie, you dirty old man, Bad movie.

A deodorant as the name implies is used to deodorize your human smelly self. Humans by nature tend to produce sweat underarms which is supposed to be attractive to the opposite sex ( or same sex if the other person is gay ). However Americans, the crazy nuts of the world, decided to sell something that could make billions just by shaming people into thinking that it is socially unaaceeptzble to smell your natura self. They made deodorants and convinced people through a lot of advertizing that “To smell is sin”. It is similar to the teeth-whitening propanganda that came in much later. The teeth whitening principle says each american worth his/her teeth should have excessively arctificial looking extremely white teeth. I actually fell for both of them. The teeth first ofcourse. White teeth can infact make you look a lot more beautiful. Just make sure they do not go to the extreme American white. They should be white enough and yet not so much that they look American white(which looks too white and hence silly).
The deodorant is actually to used only under the arms and NOT over your clothes. I never knew this until two days ago. My undergarnets (the vest) always looked yellow under the arms by the constant attack of ssweaty bacteria mixture and it stained permanently. But now the I use a deodorant just after shower everday and there is nolonger that yellow stains under the arms on my vest. Thank you stupid Americans, you get a lot of things right by fluke. Just waiting to see how long stupid Americans get lucky.

When I was a kid I used to read Chandamama, kiddie magazine, in Kannada. I could not get enough of that. I have very fond memories of that. Especially Vikram and betal. I remember that image very clearly the prince Vikram in red clothing carrying an ugly Betal. And it had many imaganitive stories to cute talking animals, jealous siblings, the good guy vs bad guy and well you know a lot of stuff for a imaginative kid like moi.
Cut to 2009, Chandama comes in a Larger format. It has some slick illustrations, simple stories. I read in English now, so its an icing on the cake. But the heres the best part, Chandamama has evovled into a more slick magazine that I find very appealing. It has some stories that look like they have been taken out of everyday life and put in cartoon or story form. I would dare say it has evolved even better than Tinkle(Tinkle was and will always be my best kiddie magazine though). Way to go chandamama. So if you want your kid to read stories I would strongly recoomend Chandamama. Alhtough some stories may actually be a little too sphosticated for a child, nevertheless it is like reading harry potter. You know it has elements that impress both a kid and an adult quite admirably..,
