ISD calls as cheap as 1 buck a min......right at your doorstep
Yes Yes...........You're not dreaming
Calling an international number from India is going to be cheaper than even a local call to mobile. MTNL , in association with Aksh Optifibres Limited, has introduced its VOIP services. The service would be known as Pigeon. This service would allow ISD calls to be as cheap as Re1/min. For users like me, who spend a lot in calling International destinations, its a grab at once opportunity. Till now, i've selected Airtel as my international carrier, which charges me Rs2.99/min to USA,UK,Canada and Landlines in Europe, after paying Rs79 per month as monthly rental on my cellphone.
Pigeon charges Rs100 as registration and installment charges(which are seperate from the MTNL landline installment charges), and after that Rs200 per month(which is roughly around 5US$) per month. More info is available on www.pigeonvoip.com
Feel free to pour in your comments on this!

Food For Thought
I recently read a quotation ,and it has grabbed by attention.
Love is not that feeling that
along with someone one feels happy
but without one feels emptiness.
Wondering if this is true or not !

Google unveils G1
Hi
On the 24th of September 2008, apple released its phone - the G1. Termed as the 'iPhone killer' , G1 was released in US by Germany based T-Mobile(part of Deutche Telekom).
The phone is manufactured by HTC Corporation, and operates on Google's 'Android' operating system. Priced at 179$, it is slightly cheaper than its Apple counterpart. According to what people who've seen and tried this phone, the review is that it is an extremely feature packed phone, which doesnt have the great looks of iPhone. On the feature's end, it is heavily loaded.
For more info, you can also check out t-mobileg1.com - The official site for this phone.
Lets see what people comment about this phone when it releases late this year. Does it live up to its association with the name 'Google' ? That'll only time will tell.

Rock on is On !
I had checked out 'Farhan Akhtar's debut acting movie "Rock On" , which released in theatres on August 27. The movie talks about a band of four. The band depicted resembles U2(or can be said to be inspired from the legendry band). Farhan plays the lead vocalist,Arjun Rampal plays the guitarist,Purab plays the drummer, while Luke Kenny plays the guy at the keyboards.
The movie is about the band's struggle along with time(as they face battles with other bands, and internal mutinies). The movie shows how these guys fight serious matters and emerge out as the winners.
The movie starts with a rehersal, which leads into the track "Socha Hai". All this happens within 5inutes of the starting of the movie(actually, even before the display of the title of the movie). The movie then moves to the future, from where it shows what had happened in the past to land them up in their current situations ( which is commonly seen in movies these days), and how do they stand clear of their problems and reunite themselves as a happy group.
All the actors - whether Farhan,Arjun,Luke,Purab, Koel Puri , or Prachi Desai(the newcomer in the movie) have perfomed well. Prachi has adopted a doll sort of a look in the movie, which happens to be her debut movie(way to go for her, her very first movie is a blockbuster).
Music has been a stronghold for the movie.Rock On,Sindbad The Sailor,Socha Hai,and all the other tracks are awsome and brilliant. Any rock fan(and i mean any) , would just feel the music in their veins, as the movie goes on.
I had heard some people saying that they expect that the movie was crap. Well, They were pathetically wrong. I expected it to be an average movie, if not good. Farhan Akhtar has a name in the Indian markets for producing great, trendsetting movies. His earlier two movies, Dil Chahta Hai(2001) and Lakshya(2006) were brilliant, and were in my list of great movies. Rock On brings another name in that list.
Also to say, the length of the movie is around 140mins(or a little more than 2hours), so its duration is also good. Farhan has made the movie "short","smart" and "snappy" !
I'd give it a 4 out of 5 , for the great music,great story, and excellent entertainment.So any of you who'd like to watch some movie these days, dont forget to check out 'Rock On' .
