Unlimited V2V Calling in Karnataka!!!
All you need to do is easy recharge with Rs.22.00 (you can do this online as well with credit/debit cards or net banking) and you get unlimited V2V calls from 11.00pm-07.00am, for 15 days. Imagine the amount of money we spent on talking to girl/boyfriends. Postpaid bills come nothing less than Rs. 1000.00. Even with a V2V unlimited plan my postpaid bill crosses Rs.800.00 every month since last year. And specially cuz of this, it came as a HUGE surprise to me!!! Hardly do I use the postpaid during the day anyways, cuz I am working or sleeping. Most of these long calls happen during the weekends and so I am sure this Rs 44.00/month is going to be a revelation to many and a happy surprise for all Vodafone prepaid subscribers in Karnataka.

Instant Facebook? Yes, with Mobile Facebook!
I wanted to share this with everyone the moment I started using it. I've been postponing it for some time. But now I think I have found some time to write about it.
Did u know u could update walls by just sending an sms? Yes, that's true. Not only that. There's a whole lot more. You get gist of a msg the moment it hits your inbox. You can reply to friends who have messaged u and did u know you don’t have to be logged into Facebook to do that? Just press the reply button on your mobile. Type your reply (yes, on your mobile) and when you have typed all u wanted to say, press the "send" button. It'll be instantly delivered to your friend's inbox and also to YOUR "sent" items. ';-)). Interesting, isn't it?
That's y I actually prefer using Facebook to Gmail (which I adore) when it comes to emailing and replying to friends. The moment you have a msg in your Facebook inbox, it's on your mobile inbox as well. This means there isn't a single moment you miss any of your friends or what they are up to. For ex. When Rohit Barker writes on his wall about his party at the BEACH, I know it the second he's hit the "publish" button, even though I might be watching a movie or say, I am in the loo, provided I have my mobile with me.
It can be annoying with friends posting all kinds of updates about the games they play and links they post, isn't it? Don't worry. I am using it for a week now; I get wall updates, but not about games u play or links u post to your wall. Besides, u can choose who u want to be notified about. If you do not want know what a friend or a group is doing, u can unsubscribe from the mobile Facebook for that particular friend/group only. You’ll still be notified about everyone else.
What's more, you can post to your wall anytime, just anytime at all. All you need to do is take your mobile, type what you have in your mind as a text MSG and send it to the number +91 92FACEBOOK. What that number is? I'll tell u. Rather, follow this link: (https://register.facebook.com/mobile/).
You can add more than one number. That means, if you are a regular roamer and have multiple number for different states, u can post and be updated no matter where you are!
All that costs you to register is an SMS. And the maximum an sms can cost is Rs. 1.50 (within India). And u r in touch with friends 24/7. Literally!!!. Is that not sooooo damn cool?
There must be a lot of u who're already using it. Tell me if u love it like I do.
And, don't forget to post it to friends who love cool stuff like this. "It's my Friendship Day MSG to you"

MJ's Death and Media's Reaction: Looks like it's a funeral to BOTH
Michael Jackson who rose to popularity since the age of 11 has kept his popularity even at death. Just a month before his scheduled 50 stage performances in London he's mysteriously dead, reportedly of cardiac arrest. His father has asked for a 3rd autopsy today.
Even at the peak of fame MJ never lacked controversy. His life was full of it. And even at death it's his partner. Rumours of his ghost appearing on CNN's Larry King Live (Inside the Neverland) sounded pretty ridiculous. If it was a superstitious Indian channel reporting that we'd understand. However, the CNN camera showing a shadow (apparently that of MJ) seems nonsensical.
News that he (original MJ) was dead years ago is circulating the news channels? So who was doing all the shows he ws doing? Someone else? Earlier there were reports that he is feigning death to avoid all the debts he has?
it could be two things. One, the media doesn't want to be cheated. So it assumes all possible options, but without verifying data.
Two, it's a gimmic to attract the viewers, readers and make easy selling. Whatever the truth is, it looks extremely laughable.
Should Newspapers, Newschannles degrade to this level? The ball is in your court...
