Ricky Ponting – Hug me or Get Lost !!!

Posted by vipuljhawar on September 28, 2007

Thank God !!! I am not Ricky Ponting. Superstars, Holly/Bollywood stars all do charity, auctions but this was a stunning one. A guy buys all the charity and pecks a kiss on Ricky’s face. Man… he must have had 10 vodka shots before getting onto the podium to do that.

Watch the whole fiasco – http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/videopod/default.aspx?id=17490

I am not sure if Ricky will do any more charity in India. The man forgot that the event was for charity and not for proving whether English discriminate us or not. They do and will always continue to do, you don’t have to kiss someone  in public to get rid of that. And what difference does it make, first get rid of the crap in your country – quotas, reservations… that’s a blessing not a discrimination? and what not just to prove democracy, secularism, upliftment of the poor.

The worst part was that he tried to prove, that he can buy anything and Ricky has to accept it or GET LOST. He feels they have a culture of hugging and kissing so hwy can’t he hug and kiss me. What a thought !!! You have to be out of your senses to behave that way. Only a pig who lives in shit and enjoys shit can behave this way. Had it not been for charity, this guy wouldn’t even have been able to buy even Ricky’s used underpants, forget a bat.

So BEWARE !!! next time you or wife are invited to a charity event and you guys land on stage, someone may bid and plant a kiss on your wife’s rosy cheeks, and he too could say Hug Me or GET LOST.

I know a majority of Indian’s and political parties would support him, make him a hero because he used the word discrimination, but it’s a shame, such people should go to an auction not to a charity event. One thing which i have not understood till date is when will my fellow countrymen know the meaning of the words/phrases – BEHAVE, STANDING IN A QUEUE, POLITE, RESPECT OTHERS PROPERTY. If you see guys using words like sex, fuck, ass blah blah in their language, Indians would mostly feel bad, shy about it but when on road or in a public place causing any degree of annoyance to someone would not affect them.  I have not understood what is that the term so often used ‘values’ refers to ? Maybe India needs to get practical before valuing it’s values. Go to a charity for charity not for hugging, kissing or thinking that a hug from Ricky would help you get rid of the discrimination.

Yahoo photos closing

Posted by vipuljhawar on September 8, 2007

As Yahoo puts on it’s post – All good things come to an end… Yeah Yahoo photos is shutting down. Until Web 2.0 banged us Yahoo photos was the place for showing off your pics. I have never liked googles photo sharing site, somehow it never kicked me.

Flickr is good, its jazzy, it’s sexy but still i would miss Yahoo photos for its simplicity, for being the one which made photo sharing a big trend in india at least. I will move onto Flickr, but still Yahoo photos is [soon to be was], a simple classical photo sharing site. It looks like a IT consulting company telling its 50 year old Manager, dude we longer find you that energetic, sexy and fitting into our offerings, you have done a lot for us but the new guy on the bench is the one who will hold the baton. Thank You. We think he will drive the next generation.

Thank you Yahoo Photos !.

I have seen products evolving, enhancing but very few of the big ones totally dying. So, will every online app too have an age, If yes what ?

So if you are on Yahoo photos, please move on and decide whether you wanna flickr or upload all the stuff to a new site…
