Wonder la

Force, acceleration, momentum, gravity, resistance... words, quite, long unused were the most recounted and reworded lot, on Saturday. First a applause and a bow for the Wonderla guyz for the monitoring the sea [ocean??] of a crowd...quite efficiently. This was my first visit to wonderla, or rather the first one to a "joy" and water rides place and this first experience was a nice memorable one. The planning and the execution of all the rides do need accolades. Hope so the same quality of service and maintenance will be maintained years to come.
Feelings like, the gut wrench, topsy turvy, gande thale seat kiska na [in-lieu with phyro thale zameen kiska na] were experienced in those five "dry" rides and lastly, the lungful of air was insufficient for all screams. The best dry ride was the wonder spray [?, forgot the name of the ride], the joy felt on hitting the water and sprays landing back was just so blissful compared just the preceding second where the heart was going ballistic.
Atleast 70% paisa-vasol was there with the water rides with its contribution. Missed the laser-show and some VR experience, don't know what these were.

Da Vinci Code

[From Hindu] :
Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi has directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) not to clear `The Da Vinci Code'... [ read link ]

It does sound, either the "Information" minister, is over zealous of his post and wants to avoid the misintrepretation of the information or he is questioning the "Freedom of expression". Movies, Books, Religion, Food, Dress code... are "One's One Choice". It shouldn't be a decided by some one else what is to be seen and done. If questions on the basic tenets are raised, either one should prove it worng or even better, stick on to one's belief system just to oneself and let go [ pardoning others for their ignorance ;) ]

BSNL - It works[!!!] ???

Quite an intriguing tale. Thus is the story..... Long long ago (Some 5-6 months back) applied for the DataOne broadband connection by registering thro net . Was quite gung-ho about the outcome, expectation died a slow death from a "immediate" broadband connection to will there atleast be a acknowledgement saying "yep, we received ur request" with some kind of trackable identification. And as every [good?] deed, forgot about the whole issue, after consoling myself that the page was just one more Too Be ignored entity. With procrastination taking its toll, the visit to the BSNL's offices just kept postponed from one Saturday to its next.
All of a sudden on one fine evening that too on a second Saturday, when all the public "services" call it as a off. Found a BSNL franchise calling up enquiring about my physical whereabouts for the installation. And atlast, they turned up and did make me BroadBandddd.
Thanks[?] guyz.
