Guess who "blogs" too???

Today guess whose blog I came across
here.



Rediff news had a peice from the blog.Dunno if Bips really writes it.
'She' writes of her experiences while filiming Apharan, which also starrs Ajay Devgan and Nana Patekar.

In her own words,
"
What you will find here is my experience of working with a wonderful director called Prakash Jha in a very interesting film called Apharan.
"


Wot say people?
It's a new advertising gimmick methinks. So blogs have become a relevant advertising medium finally. I don't know any Hindi film which had blogs dedicated to it. Seems like our Bollywood wants to utilise the blogosphere. Hmmm...

UPDATE:
Speaking of celeb blogs here are a couple Peter Townshend and Intentblog , which has quite a few celeb contributors.

Hat tip:
Anish Bhatt

Finally some sense

Rahul Dravid was named as captain for thee series against Sri Lanka and South Africa. Finallly something sensible from the BCCI.  It was making so many spineless decisions that this one, though right, was unexpected. Sometimes hard decisions have to be taken. The selectors felt that Rahul Dravid would be a better choice considering the World Cup 07.

Now for me, this move is good for both Dravid and Ganguly. Dravid because he gets an extended run as captain. something he would have personally always wanted, and Ganguly because taking away the captaincy will let him focus on his batting. Now Saurav as a captain has been great for Indian Cricket. As batsman also , he has been good. But now, after the extended slump and stupid controversies,he needs to get his batting right to remain in the 11. The loss of captaincy will help him in this regard. So I think, it is upto Saurav to cash in on this. His supporters also should realise this and give him some time.


So let us wait and watch how "Team" India performs!

Hats off to u mate!!

Today had possibly the most bizzare and sad news I have read on the blogosphere. A blogger who I admire, Gaurav Sabnis a senior quizzer form COEP, apparently is resigning from IBM. The reason being some post of his on IIPM. Read this. Then they[IIPM] served him a notice. Then he took a princpled stand on the issue and decided to quit IBM.Read this .

In a country of free speech , it seems that anybody can be pressurised by people/organisations. Actually wonder what we , the bloggers can do on the issue? Well Desi Pundit seems to tryin to fight back. Kaps has issued a call of action here.

Have to wait for turn of events now!!
