If a company that makes a faulty light bulb can be sued by consumers then why can’t a film company that makes a horrible film meet the same fate?
After all, both the cases amount to cheating the consumers of his hard earned money and in both the cases, guilt can be scientifically proven – a bad film is preceded by misleading advertising and promotions promising… all together a different content and experience. Further, Lack of coherent script and character development and logical flow of story can be easily proven even if garish use of colours, tacky props/sets, insipid acting and ear drum shattering sound are debatable

Here is the answer I posted at Linked-In Q & A (Link to the actual answer)
Answer: Sir, you have asked an interesting & thought provoking question. I am impressed. Here is my explanation. I put forward 7 theories to answer this question.
1) Indirect Nature of Product & Service
You can hold a bulb right in your hand, but you cant sing with the actress right in the movie. Essentially it does not matter if the movie has a poor props or sets, but a light bulb that you purchased yesterday from the local store holding in your hand which is not working really hurts (if your money is really that hard earned)

Hypothetical Question [?]
You are sitting with your lover on stairs in mid-night, suddenly you receive a call on your phone. You excuse yourself from the lover to attend the call and promise to return back. The call happens to be from the mother of your lover who informs you that your lover has just died in the evening. What would you do now? Will you return? What would you say?

I Do Blog. Why? April 6, 2007

Ah I am back with a bang. I have got the computer at home for almost 2 weeks I suppose. But you already knew that. Now stop giving me that ‘guy-with-a-computer-for-2-week-still-no-post’ look. I was busy with some exams and I am down again with the feelings, just making sure I don’t miss out something in the blogosphere.
No matter how hard I try to put a question down, someday in the future I will raise my hand and ask for excuse and go ahead with my silly question. Just another such question now, do I need to raise my hand? Duh? I think no. So, my question is simple Why do I blog? Let me answer it in unusual way.
Somebody needs to take the pain
Sometime so much pressure down my throat, I really feel stressed down at the end of the day. So, I blog. I blog about my feelings, to vent out my emotions. Do I sound stupid? But then this blog is the only place where I can sound stupid (and runaway because no one reads it). Though I don’t take any tension, but whenever tension sees me alone, it attacks me so badly. Blog is one of my AK-47 to tackle down the tension. At least, when I blog I don’t feel the tension. I forget about the fight I had with my friend, project deadlines, disheartening remarks, beautiful-yet-so-stupid-girl who thinks I am an ass, electricity power cuts and a lot unmentionable things. I spray all my pain in this blog.
Somebody needs to experience
Life is so small, that is what makes it so sweet. I want to write down all my feelings, experience, thoughts and ideas into one place. When I am judged at the end of my life, I want to use this blog as eye-witness. Since I have no one who would stand by my side, I want to take this blog with myself.
Good time pass
Posting on this blog and coming back 9 times in an hour just to see if someone has commented on it or not is a good time pass and a very bad addiction for a BBA* student.
I love that oh-I-didn’t-wrote-that feeling
It’s been long since I have started out this blog. When I was a kid I used to buy the car toys and break them to see what was inside them. Now, don’t think I am lunatic or that has nothing to do with my under-developed mind. That thing has to do a lot with this blog, it means I love experimenting with the things. So, my lord, I do accept the fact this blog is a result of my random surfing and a silly experiment. Now, when I read in between the pages of this blog I feel every emotion on this earth (happy, sad, guilt, surprised, humble and I can’t remember all those feelings). I feel silly and I wonder it was me who wrote all that crap, so many grammatical mistakes, no link between paragraphs, so artificial. I love that oh-I-didn’t-wrote-that feeling
I hate that bully
He is a big guy and I have no thoughts of turning back and reply when he slaps on my face. So, I pretend I am going to the principal, when originally, I go to computer lab (no. 4, ground floor, 2nd room, right side of admin office *I love details*) and sit down to type down my next blog post. So, if one fine day, you find extremely offending and aggressive words on this blog, please for god sake don’t blame me, just curse that guy-the bully
She will come, finally
Boys will be boys. Someday she will sit down to use computer by willful mistake. As soon as she opens Internet Explorer (default browser of my thinking, when I think of browser, I think only of Internet Explorer), she is taken to my blog where she reads all my blog entries, and out of sheer ignorance she start believing that I am a really a good guy. And she drops me a mail. Then she proposes me and we get married. Ok ok sorry for creativity of this stupidity. While this was a joke, I pray that this happens someday (on opposite while praying I make ‘oh god that bully never discover this blog’ wish)
Some studies have suggested that long periods of typing, improper workstation setup, incorrect work habits, stressful work conditions and relationships, or problems in your personal health may be linked to injuries. These injuries could include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. If your mind is underdeveloped like me it translate as “I am tired and I need a break” to lay man’s language.
On that difficult note, I sign off… See you soon…
*BBA: Here means bachelor of business administration ( and not bachelor of bad activities. Mind you!)

Computer is personal again….? May 15, 2006

My friend asked me, “What does PC means?” I replied “It stands for personal computer” He nodded and said “There is nothing personal about it”
Okay, I made up this story few hours ago. But this new ad campaign by HP computers is worth noticing, the central theme being “Computer is personal again…” (ww.hp.com\in\personal)
How true? The region to which I belong, here computer is just treated as a box; it is considered as a tool to get your work faster and efficiently. And there is great myth here that every thing can be done through computers. When you go to buy some computer, dealer gives you certain specifications. You check if they match your own, and see if is better than someone else’s specifications and then there you draw your conclusion. You are not aware that you are buying a personal computer, read it again, personal really means PERSONAL – A computer of your own.
Now, what does this imply? Remember when you bought your first bicycle or your first favorite thing. The kind of attention you played to small details of your thing, of course, it was your personal thing. Remember, how much you cared for it. Then why it is not same care for computers. Why people are so ignorant about computers, why being in a net of computers we always under-estimate it’s power and sometime over-estimate its ability such as producing life-like robots etc.
Time is to review our viewpoint and see from a perspective where we stand to gain something, make sure you have a personal computer not just a computer!
