A Joke That Created Havoc

Rj Nitin must have never imagined that one of his many PJ’s on his Red FM show, Khurafati Nitin would cause riots in West Bengal. Ok so you all are interested in listening to the so called PJ? Then here it is : “shopkeepers will now have to make their own security arrangements as Gorkhas have taken to singing.” The reference being made to Indian Idol 3, Prashant Tamang.

Like me many of you might pull your hair off at the silly material passed off as jokes by these FM channels. But this so called joke, was not taken well by the fans of Indian Idol Prashant Tamang, leading to violence and strikes in the serene Darjeeling.

Now what surprises me is that “People In India Have Way Too Much Time To Waste”. First of all they have so much leisure time to listen to a rather stupid show on FM, then they have the time to protest and carry of dharnas against stupid jokes carried on that stupid show. And also get involved in fights for a man, who oblivious to all this is busy relishing his new found success.

First of all I do not feel there was anything racist about that PJ, cracked by RJ Nitin. If this joke is a racist attack, then what about the Santa Banta joke fodder that we have been feeding upon? Do those jokes mean, all the Sardar’s all over start engaging in fights and create widespread violence? Ridiculous!!!

And They Did It…… India Win Twenty Twenty World Cup

A team of 15 youngsters. No experience of Twenty Twenty Cricket. A docile bowling line up. A batting line up sans Sachin, Saurav and Dravid. Surely no one in their right senses would put their money on India.

But cricket is a game of uncertainties. A team which wasn’t given a whiff of chance to do well in he shortest version of the game, have been declared the Champions of that game. Under Dhoni’s positive captaincy, India for once removed the chokers tag and held onto nail biting situations, handled the pressure excellently. And lo behold ….. They Did IT!!!!

A team of 15 rejuvenated champions. Twenty Twenty World Cup Champions. An overly agressive bowler in Sreesanth. A batting line up which had the Australians running for cover. Bow your heads to the new Twenty Twenty World Cup Champions… Team India.

India Are Twenty Twenty World Champions

Three Men And A Baby : A Comedy For the Entire Family

Just caught up with this wonderful comedy, Three Men And A Baby, directed by Leonard Nimoy. I had this dvd for quite a while but had just kept it in on the shelf. I do not know what prompted me to catch this flick, but whatever did, I am really happy that I caught up with this movie.

Three Men And A Baby Movie Story

Jack, Michael and Peter are three happy go lucky friends. Every thing’s going nice and jolly until one day, two unexpected parcels arrive at their doorstep. One is a cradle with a baby in it and the other parcel has a drugs in it. Suddenly their lives take a full 360 degree turn. With the responsibility of a baby ( who they are clueless how to manage) and with the police and goons after them for the drugs, what you can expect is one comic journey.

The movie is so appropriately tagged : ” They changed her diapers, she changed their lives”

Yuvraj’s Six Sixes In One Over (Full Video)

Shahrukh’s six pack is no longer the talk of the town. It’s Yuvraj’s six pack that the whole of India is going crazy about.

Twenty Twenty world Cup Match. India v/s England. A do or die situation for both the teams. Sehwag’s and Gambhir’s brilliantly orchestrated innings were made to look miniscule by one angry young man, Yuvraj Singh.

Yuvraj Singh Six Sixes In One OverAfter a rather disappointing Twenty Twenty tour so far, Yuvraj was blazing guns on Wednesday Night. A tiff with Andrew Flintoff had Yuvraj all charged up. And the next thing was balls flying all over the park. A helpless Broad could just look up at the skies as balls went flying in the air.

Watch the video of Yuvraj smash Broad for six sixes in the over. Sweet revenge for Yuvraj, after he was hit for 5 sixes in England by Mascarenhas. Read the rest of this entry »

Making Money Online With Nautanki.tv

What is Nautanki.tv?

Nautanki.tv is India’s first online 24/7 TV channel. Nautanki.tv provides unique online video content such as film reviews, celebrity talk shows, tele-films, car shows, travel documentaries and much more. The videos shows on nautanki.tv last for around 5 minutes each.

So How Can Bloggers Make Money With Nautanki?

Nautanki.tv has ads playing before and after it’s video content. The advertisers pay on pay per view basis and Nautanki pays its publishers a part of that amount. If you would like to be a publisher for the shows of Nautanki TV, then you could register on the Nautanki site . Then enter the codes provided on your site and you are off to make money. Nautanki.tv is a boon for regional language blogs (Hindi, Tamil, etc) which cannot be monetized well with other ad networks like Adsense

My Experience With Nautanki

Firstly, Nautanki.tv is no scam, I have been trying it for five months. And the payment is always done on time. But a major problem with Nautanki is that it pays its publishers in multiples of Rs. 10,000. So if you have even made Rs. 9,999/- in a month, then you will not be paid in that month. You will have to wait for another whole month to get your rightful money.

When I first started using nautanki on one of my sites the money generated was unbelievable, with a traffic of around 3000 uniques daily, Nautanki was making close to Rs. 2000/- daily. This was a dream. A dream that ended in a month or so.

As time passed, I was of the opinion that the money would only increase, as Nautanki would end up making more money with time ( with increase in advertisers). But I was in for a rude shock, though the advertisers increased, the revenue continued to spiral down. Though the traffic of my site has increased from 3000 uniques to 6000 uniques, the revenue generated through Nautanki has spiralled down from Rs. 2000/- to Rs. 200/- a day. A fact which is hard to digest.

The worst thing about Nautanki is that a month back they started auto-playing their videos on publisher sites. This was a real disaster. Playing the videos automatically, without the users interest, was an indication of Nautanki’s desperate means to make money at the cost of user experience. Imagine loud videos being played as you are browsing. That is surely one irritating experience for your site viewers. And this was something that I did not want my site viewers you to experience. Though I was making around Rs. 200/- Rs. 300/- with nautanki, I decided to scrap it off from my site.
