Preserving kasab 2

brainscat — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 16:19:00 +0000

Pak courts dismissed the cases against the masterminds on ground of lack of evidence, even after receiving dossiers one after the other, fully packed with evidence. If Indian courts have convicted this guy over solid evidences, why delay his punishment? Or does the govt want to preserve him like a mango in brine, just to hand him over to pak for further investigation by them? Executing kasab may not bring back the lives of those lost during 26/11,but it wil prove a point for sure…continues in next post

Preserving kasab 3

brainscat — Mon, 03 May 2010 17:28:00 +0000

The point to be proven here is that India is not a spineless nation and there is a limit to tolerate. Name him a terrorist is not enough, infact he should be named inhuman or insane or something worse than that. Those misinterpreters of the holy religious texts, who provocate and malign young minds, leading them to take innocent lives deserve no place amongst human beings. Pity on the mother who gave birth to them and pity on the nations that breed them.

Today was the much awaited 26/11 trial. As anticipated, kasab was found guilty of all the charges. Unfortunately his indian friends were let lose due to lack of evidence. Interestingly one of my twitter pal had tweeted that “it took 1 year for his trial in high court, it will take another 1 year to grant him mercy by the supreme court or president”. Here it has been proven on all grounds that this guy plus the masterminds in pak are guilty, same time in pak the masterminds are let loose and encouraged…

THE IPL UNDERWEAR 2

brainscat — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:31:31 +0000

in the ad, Yuvi could be seen blocking Lee’s superfast bowling with the logo of the cement company in his jersy (over exaggerated). Then, while watching one of the match highlights, i noticed the number of logos on the jerseys, unbelievable! it will not be too long when even the underwears of cricketers would be used for branding. moreover the Tharoor-Modi like controversy will hit those underwear’s as well.

THE IPL UNDERWEAR

brainscat — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:30:15 +0000

IPL the most debated topic this season, especially the modi half and the tharoor half (recently, the pawar half as well). unfortunately i’m also tempted to blog about ipl, but my half is the advertising and the branding half. recently i saw an ad in tv with yuvi and bret lee in the lead, and a few other punjab team members. it was a cement company ad. they tried to convey the message that their brand of cement is too strong and even bret lee’s wd0 kmp/h bowling couldn’t harm yuvi…continues in next post

Fraud Mailers: Income Tax department Govt of India

This guy has used the government itself to carry out his frauds. Shame that even after the NSA being hacked and mail frauds like these thriving, Indian govt is sitting idle. It is high time that government should pay at least a bit of attention to the internet, as it is a security threat and also the money collected by frauds may go for funding terrorism.

Fraud Mailers: HDFC Bank Account Suspension

brainscat — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 15:45:18 +0000

Here’s a very dangerous form of fraud. When the private sector banks thrive by pulling in more and more customers, and when all they care is about minting money from their customers, frauds like these flourish. This is an alert mail using HDFC logo, stating that your Account has been temporarily suspended, to make it more realistic, they even put up the actual link to hdfc netbanking, which is as follows

https://netbanking.hdfcbank.com/netbanking/

First impression of trust would be the genuineness of this visible link, and people are easily misguided. To check if it is a genuine link, here is something which you can easily do. Just right click on the link and copy the link address, paste it on word or note pad. it will look something like this…

http://chanthaburi.tdd.mi.th/forum/Sources/db/hdfcbank/index.htm , which obviously does not have a https:// web address (https:// is the most safest and the usual protocol used by banks and other high security websites.) and is a definite phishing website. In browsers like Chrome, they normally warn you that this is a phishing site and entering is at your own risk. More over, in gmail, this kind of mails usually end up in spam folder as it is send to many users ( mega-mass mailing results in your mail to land up in spam box). Bu the unfortunate ones fall for this trap. Now here is one such a mail…
