Microsoft vs Linux

March 7th, 2010 Prashanth Pai 1 comment

I’ve written a quick and dirty very STUPID poem……..

MS vs Tux

MS was found in 1975 to develop n sell the BASIC tool
After little Bill and Paul dropped out from school

Soon rolled out the all-famous legendary OS MS-DOS
Which saved the company from some serious loss

Bored with the geeky commands, they created Windows
Which, like the Apple, had a GUI and a mouse

In 1991, there came another very cool guy in town :)
Which turned Bill’s face into a bitter frown :( Read more…

Jungle Book Theme (Mowgli) Ringtone

February 20th, 2010 Prashanth Pai No comments

We all loved The Jungle Book that aired on Doordarshan when we were kids. :) It started during the early 1990s. No one can forget the opening score of Jungle Book ;) Yeah it’s the “Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai“(जंगल जंगल बात चली है) music by Vishal Bharadwaj (lyrics by Gulzar), which made it quite popular.
And now, I have set that song as ringtone on my mobile :) Now, that’s the good part. Here comes the bad part – whenever my phone rings in a crowd, people stare @ me and often I end up being a laughing stock :( But I haven’t changed my ringtone yet ;) Read more…

Download Advertisement MP3 Ringtones

August 6th, 2009 Prashanth Pai 22 comments

I have some strange hobbies to kill time in holidays. One of those is collecting various Advertisement MP3s and setting them as Ringtone on my mobile just to amuse people around me ;) Some of them, I could get from the official site of respective companies/products and some of them were very rare to find.

I hesitate to call these MP3s as ringtones as they are just normal MP3s; some of them may contain only prose and no tone !. It’s just that I use them as ringtones ;)

So here’s my small personal collection of Ad ringtones. All files have 128 kbps bitrate. You can play these on any device or mobile that supports MP3 playback :) Enjoy ……… Read more…

Mythbuster : Mentos and Aerated Soft Drinks Reaction

June 16th, 2009 Prashanth Pai 1 comment

Don’t tell me that you haven’t seen the videos of the Mentos and Diet Coke which are all over YouTube since ages. If you haven’t, you surely have heard about it from your friend or read it somewhere. This reaction between Mentos and several aerated soft drinks like Coke or Pepsi which results in a spectacular eruption is popularly known as Mentos eruption or a coke geyser. Now, why is it so popular ? It is because of the nature of this physio-chemical reaction and the easy availability of the ingredients – just bump into your local shop and get them. One more reason is that this activity is very safe. The experiment was first aired on television back in 2002 and then in 2005. Since then, it’s all over the Internet. Read more…

Bollywood Films And Plagiarism

June 8th, 2009 Prashanth Pai 10 comments

We all love watching Bollywood movies. Don’t we ? We all love the Trio Khans, Akki, and of course every one’s talking about Katrina – recently she was voted by an international magazine as India’s Sexiest Woman – something which I strongly disagree. And not to talk about Miss World/Miss Universe beauty pageants or the wax statues of Bollywood actors and actresses at Madame Tussauds museum – everyone (in India) is thinking that the whole world is embracing of what we are, not realizing that there is a serious lack of creativity in Bollywood.

Another thing, I still don’t get it – how the Academy Jury gave the Oscar to Slumdog Millionare ? I mean, The Dark Knight and Curious Case of Benjamin Button were too superior than Slumdog (even Kung Fu Panda was better than Slumdog). And the aftermath, the consequences in India – all the drama about giveaways to the actors from the slum – the TV channels yell “From Rags To Riches” and politicizing Jai Ho – which after all is an extremely ordinary song.
