The Indian government is planning to spend Rs 18,000 crores (USD 40 billion) on getting broadband connectivity to all gram panchayats (villages). This in 3 years.

Ran into Pip.io today, a good looking Seesmic/Tweetdeck clone but for the web, not a desktop client. Meh.

Stories Must Be Told
Most would remember Tehelka for the arms deal expose that threatened the existence of the NDA government and sent the former BJP President Bangaru Laxman packing. Many would have paid scant attention to it after that, as is expected. We have eyes only for the sensational and the very superficial. Questioning ones ethics and stand on issues is an uncomfortable task. Who’d want to indulge in it when we have so many EMIs, bills and other more ‘real’ issues to deal with? After all, all that we aspire for is a ‘good life’, never mind if that ‘good’ is not a self-evolved concept, rather one constructed for us by those who we aren’t even taught to question or comprehend completely. So, where’s the connection with Tehelka, you’d ask. It starts here, many pieces from the magazine (newspaper, they insist) indulge in a discourse with my ideology, my stand on issues. I’m not saying that the magazine is revelatory, it isn’t, however, it’s leanings and sympathies are very clear and many a time they are in a collision course with mine. It is this clarity that is refreshing, this challenge that is invigorating. What is also pleasing is Tehelka’s (perceived) commitment to good writing. Their 1st issue of the year was a series of short stories, not the ‘New Year- New India-New World-New Promises’ stew that many others cooked up (it’s an easy thing to do). Yes, they do have their puff pieces, about the people they’d like to eulogise, yes, they have begun to cater to a taste that other publications like the India Today and HT have been doing for ages, that is the taste of who marketers call the SEC A+(+). They, however, continue to publish stories like this and pursue stories in the old school journalistic fashion, that I admire. These are the very things I’d like ProjectOffguard to adopt, provide an analysis that is biting, not necessarily easy to digest. As I had stated in an earlier post, ProjectOffguard will not be ashamed to reveal it’s ‘editorial’ stand, nor will it suppress a voice on the platform that challenges this core. ProjectOffguard will give every voice (your) a front page view, not restricted to just your followers or your friends. The world will see it because there is only one front page on ProjectOffguard.

Did you notice we just started Buzzing? Any guess why we’ve started making a fair bit of noise of late?

We’re Pubbing
This blog has started pinging the hubs set up for PubSubHubbub and so you’ll see the posts as soon as they are published, in full real time, Twitter style. Are we up with the times or what? Of course, your feed reader that points to this blog (which at last analytics was 0) must support the ‘Hub’ (Hint: Google Reader does). For those who want to know what this portmanteau is go here, and for those who are wondering what a portmanteau is, well…go here.
