MS vs Tux

MS was found in 1975 to develop n sell the BASIC tool
After little Bill and Paul dropped out from school

Soon rolled out the all-famous legendary OS MS-DOS
Which saved the company from some serious loss

Bored with the geeky commands, they created Windows
Which, like the Apple, had a GUI and a mouse

In 1991, there came another very cool guy in town :)
Which turned Bill’s face into a bitter frown :(

It was called Linux, a humble n simple cool dude
Claimed MS, I won’t give out my source code

Linux ran like a champ when put to test
n00bs didn’t realize that it was the best

MS claims that its all buggy IE rocks
It sucks to the core, shows Mozilla Firefox

With XP, Vista and 7, MS had very little to offer
Ubuntu,RedHat,Fedora,Mandriva….. just awesome n super

MS cries that it gets loads of stubborn virus
Linux doesn’t get infected, I’m damn serious

Exploits, Hacks, Vulnerabilities – MS has it all :(
Linux is really impervious, lol ;)

Cries the MS user, “I often get Blue Screen of Death”
Laughs the tux user,”Was it really worth that ?”

I switched over to linux and I’m having some gr8 fun
Guys, c’mon, now it’s really your turn ;)

No one can forget the opening score of Jungle Book ;) Yeah it’s the “Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai“(जंगल जंगल बात चली है) music by Vishal Bharadwaj (lyrics by Gulzar), which made it quite popular.
And now, I have set that song as ringtone on my mobile :) Now, that’s the good part. Here comes the bad part – whenever my phone rings in a crowd, people stare @ me and often I end up being a laughing stock :( But I haven’t changed my ringtone yet ;)

You can download it from here :

P.S: And my dear devoted readers (may be 1 or 2). I was away for a very long time due to some personal reasons and hoping to make a good come back. Most of my posts henceforth will be technical.

One of those is collecting various Advertisement MP3s and setting them as Ringtone on my mobile just to amuse people around me ;) Some of them, I could get from the official site of respective companies/products and some of them were very rare to find.

I hesitate to call these MP3s as ringtones as they are just normal MP3s; some of them may contain only prose and no tone !. It’s just that I use them as ringtones ;)

So here’s my small personal collection of Ad ringtones. All files have 128 kbps bitrate. You can play these on any device or mobile that supports MP3 playback :) Enjoy ………

I hated that awkward tune and Dhoni in the ad. Aircel initially had its operations confined to Tamil Nadu. But now it is going national. To attract new customers, like all new telecom giants do, Aircel is giving amazing offers and no one seems to be knowing this. I am talking about the Aircel Student Plan.

The Aircel group is a joint venture between Maxis Communications Berhad of Malaysia and Apollo Hospital Enterprise Ltd of India, with Maxis Communications holding a majority stake of 74%. Aircel commenced operations in 1999 and became the leading mobile operator in Tamil Nadu within 18 months. Aircel has revved up plans to become a full-fledged national operator by end of 2009.

Prepaid Start-up Kit : Student Plan (MRP Rs.349) contains:

  • Aircel Prepaid SIM card
  • Customer engagement form
  • Prepaid booklet, VAS booklet
  • First recharge card (FRC) of Rs.250

Upon recharging using the Rs.250 FRC, you will get a talktime of Rs.100.

Aircel_Student_Plan

The thing which attracts me is the 150 Free SMS/day. Several other telecom operators like Vodafone and Idea have 100 Free SMS/day plans. But in such plans, the first two SMS that you send will be charged Rs1 each. You loose Rs.2 everyday i.e Rs.720 a year. Other disadvantages include the lack of lifetime validity and mobile call rate of 60ps/min. But in Aircel Student Plan, there is no such glitch. Lifetime Validity and permanent tariff and No rent :)

The Con : Lifetime validity will be disconnected in case of no recharge for any continuous period of 6 months with at least Rs. 200 every 6 month. What does this mean ? This means that the TOTAL recharge over a span of 6 months must be at least Rs. 200. And that’s no big deal to achieve ;) Don’t we spend Rs. 200 talktime in 6 months ? :)

Do you have an Aircel SIM and no Student Plan ? Then you can make use of Aircel message packs. Recharge with Rs.28 and enjoy messaging for one whole month. That is 4500 Free SMS for just Rs. 28 :) There are a whole bunch of recharge vouchers and rate cutters.
