    Indibloggies 2004

    Indibloggies 2004

    Indibloggies is the Indian version of Bloggies. These are awards given away for the best blogs during the year. This blog, lazygeek.net was the Best Media Indiblog, last year. This year the name has been changed to Best Humanities(arts) Indian Weblog. Am not sure why they had to change it ?

    Anyway, this blog is nominated again. Unlike last year, there are more competitors this year. If you think it’s (still) worth it, do vote.

    Round-up – Chennai Book Fair 2005

    Enter Bookdom

    As usual there are books and bookworms in Chennai. However, the Chennai Bookfair 2005 isn’t only about them. Strangely, the book fair is getting very sociable.

    Amitav Andaman and Amrish

    Amitav Ghosh, the writer of The Calcutta Chromosome, writes to The Hindu about his experiences on The Tsunami disaster in Andaman as a three-part series.

    Amrish ‘Mogambo’ Puri passes away. In pictures. His last film was Kamal’s yet-to-be-released Mumbai Express.

    This year’s Bhogi went without fogging any flights and the traffic. It’s improving every year. Good going.

    The Incredibles movie review – Unbelievably Incredible (!)

    The Incredibles

    Why would Vishnu incarnate as Rama in the epic of Ramayana and be sent to exile? He needs to kill Ravana. That’s one perspective. Being a staunch bhaktha of Shiva, it’s the path that Ravana chose to attain Moksha. That’s another. Put both into a single glass and see through it. I am sure you get another perspective. Every perspective also has a moral. A moral that so glaringly and sometimes very subtly told. This probably is the reason Ramayana still exists as the numero-uno of moral story building forte.

    Profit for NDTV

    NDTV, one of the unbiased and no-nonsense(personal opinion!!) news channel is moving ahead to the business arena. Their new 24 hour Business News channel, Profit, will start operating from Jan 17.

    Business News Channels aren’t new to India. We have had TV-18 operating for a long time since now before getting merged with CNBC to make Indian oriented business news. Looks like TV-18 is also moving ahead with a full-time hindi business news channel by the next month. Zee Business, a business news channel in hindi is already up and running from November 2004 end.

    Vikram Chandra, CEO of NDTV will also head the NDTV profit and I hope they will be television news portal for Indian Business within less than a year.
