I first listened to music by Boney M, when I was a kid and the impact of the catchy tunes was so profound that I can still recite them :). I finally ran into some of their videos on Youtube. And boy, can Booby Farrell dance :). Here are some of the videos for your pleasure.

The server that hosts this website got hacked last week and the site was down for most of the week. This is the third time, a server at my current hosting provider was hacked. Think it is time, I moved providers.. Getting tired of restoring databases :)..
I came across this interesting article on the BBC news website (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7040191.stm) which lead me to think of how wierd the world we live in today is.. Essentially the article is about the publishers of Harry Potter, sueing a religious organization for building a “Hogwarts” like temperory castle as part of their celebrations of “Durga Puja”. It is quite common during these celebrations to mimic popular settings (be it either movies, events or books). I understand that the publishers have to protect their “intellectual” property, but is it fair to sue a group of people that are just trying to have some fun when they are not exploiting your “intellectual” property for commercial gain? I guess, there is nothing called “common sense” in our modern legal dictionary.Â
