I have not posted a thing for a long time on the blog. I had saved two drafts on which I was working but a reinstall of XP and reinstall of Windows Live Writer and a little bit of dumbness from my part, lost it. So here I am with nothing to post. I may not write both of those posts again. So coming back to the main part, I have been bit by the twitter bug and I just can’t seem to ignore it. If you ask how it affects blogging, well I just simply put whatever I want to say in 140 or less characters and even get comments by many people on it. Twitter has even made me lazy and I hate to type too much now.

I recently came across a new anime series which was part of the existent Gundam franchise. I won’t call myself an ardent fan of the Gundam franchise. I have seen maybe not more than 3 or 4 series. I have liked most of the series that I have seen. I definitely liked the first series in the franchise.
My friend told me about it and I checked it out. I have seen some episodes now and do feel that the political situations it shows may actually be relevant later on in actual world. I really like it when animes touch on various political topics. This is when you understand how Animes are not not only for kids but also for adults. Even the animation techniques used in Gundam 00 are far better than the older ones that I have seen.
I can say one thing that Gundam 00 will definitely have a great ending. I am now just waiting for the second season to start.

Now I have actually become tired of all these posts where I say that I was not blogging for all these days because, there was some problem with my connection. It seems BSNL had been good to me for sometime since I didn’t have any problem till recently. Around more than two weeks ago my router went bad. I had a fair idea that it was the problem of the router rather than the line or the BSNL exchange. After that I used to call them everyday and I was promised everyday that someone would come to check the line though no one ever came. It took them nearly 2 weeks to send a guy to check the line(Had complained to the Junior Engineer). That guy had totally no idea what was wrong and he told me that J.E would come later to check the technical stuff(he meant the router and the computer since he had no idea how they worked). The J.E came the next day and told me that my LAN card had some problem without even looking at it. I told him the router was not connecting whether it was from my PC or my Laptop. Then he came to the great conclusion that there might be something wrong with the router(Oh God! he was brilliant) and told me that he would send someone with the router next day but since it was second Saturday and Sunday after it, the guy did not come. I thank the God that at last I got a new modem and am able to get back to the lovely and beautiful world of Internet.
If you have read my last post (if not you can read it now), you can see that how I am in need of a good mobile which has good Internet capabilities but does not have a camera. I had been researching on Internet (on univercell’s site actually) looking for a mobile that suited my needs. I have simple needs. They are:

I have been in college for more than 4 months now and like many other college going students in India have been instructed not to carry a mobile phone with a camera into the college by our college authorities. I am one of those people who don’t care if we have a camera in our mobile but do need a good enough GPRS facility, nice resolution, JPG image support, mp3 ringtones and Java facility. So if you want all this you just can’t take a mobile to college because any mobile with these facility ends up having a camera, at the least a VGA camera. Since I am a internet freak I had one of these kinds of phones and I ended up loosing it to the college authorities(even though we are allowed to bring cameras into college). I really have no problem with that fact that they took my mobile phone and neither do I want to write blaming them because that will be too stupid. But I wanted to point out some details for people who might find this interesting.
Nowadays mobile phones as cheap as of Rs. 2500 and above have camera. But many high end mobiles don’t have them(not that we can buy them). 
Camera with a mobile phone is not a luxury now but actually a necessity according to many people. People demand it since many people use mobile phones as their primary camera. The way mobile has been developing I am sure the day is not far when mobiles phone will not be made without camera. All mobiles will have camera. I guess this would happen in nearly 5-7 years in India. I guess at that time they will just simply ban mobile phones in colleges.

Had been reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows for sometime now but still haven’t been able to finish it got only two or three days after it came actually. I should have finished it on the day I got it but unfortunately I have been sick for the whole week and haven’t even gone to college now since I am not well. I don’t have any idea why I have written this post seems like an overkill to me though. Yeah, I saw the Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix on Sunday but since I was not well, I couldn’t write about it which I will do after this. There are lots of random ideas in my mind at this moment which I suppose I will be putting up in form of posts.
