Win Rs. 1000 or 20 USDs!

January 8, 2008 / / 0 Comments

As some of you might know, for the last few months I have been associated with a new online magazine called The MAG – A Magazine for all generations.

The magazine is still in it’s infancy and it will be a while before it reaches adulthood. Though the magazine is slightly India-centric,  yet there is an attempt to have some articles that are universal in their appeal. So, if you are interested in writing any such articles for The MAG, you are welcome to send in your contributions to editor@themag.in . Right now, we are not paying but who knows what the future holds.

That said, let us come to the point of this post. In order to give a little publicity to The MAG, a contest has been set up. The details of the contest can be found here .

In short, all you have to do is subscribe to The MAG via email, and if you are among the first fifty subscribers you are eligble to win 20 USDS or 1000 INRs. As soon as we hit fifty, we will pick a lucky winner.

And while you are on the MAG, it will be highly appreciated if you tell us what you think of it.

To end, a question for bloggers : Do you think there is any future for online magazines?

Social Networking is bad for Blogging!

January 7, 2008 / / 1 Comment

Or, maybe I should say,  too much social networking is bad for blogging.

Contrary to what is widely said in the blogosphere, I have begun to feel that too much social networking can hurt you in the long run as a blogger. Of  course, social networking has an important role to play for any blogger, yet sometimes it begins to consume too much of the blogger’s time that blogging is affected.

Most bloggers join social networking sites as a way to promote their blogs. But, when they explore the site, they make new friends and find new things to do on these sites, resulting in the blogger’s losing focus of their main goal – Blogging.

Rahul had by now crept into the front seat too.

“The notes are not jsut big ones, but there are small ones too,” Rahuls said, “we will need two big bags…at least.”

“The notes being small, and used, is a good thing in many ways…they are harder to trace.” Vikas replied, his mind, it seemed, was still focused on how to hide the money.

“We have two big bags… but where do we take them.  We can’t take them home. Let’s go to a place where there are a lot of people , say a bus stop first.”

“Why ?” Rahul was bewildered.

Vikas smiled sheepishly, and replied, “ I have a phobia of the sniffer police dogs. Whenever I have planned a crime in my mind, I have always been scared of being found out by them.”

Rahul was thoughtful again, “ You know, you could be a great criminal, at least you think of everything.”

Vikas laughed, “ What do you mean I could be a great criminal, I am a great criminal.”

The Bank Robbery XIV – The Getaway

Then Vikas came back and yelled, “If anyone of you still feels like a hero, you can tell me right now, so that I can end your sad and sorry life without further wait. We are here for the money and we will leave with the money, we don’t want to hurt any of you unless you give us a reason to do so.”   

Rahul was shocked at what Vikas seemed to have done. It seemed to me that he would faint, but Vikas quickly got near him and whispered in his ears, “I didn’t kill him, don’t worry.”

Then he continued in the loud tone,”Take these handcuffs and cuff each of them. Vikas took the gun from Rahul, who then cuffed and  gagged the captives. Over the gag, Vikas taped their mouths shut. It was clear that Vikas knew what he was doing, and that none of the captured would be able to emit a sound or break free for a long time.
