Ashish Tulsian’s Blog

Yes it’s true…if you are SHOCKED..then too…it’s TRUE
and people behind this are our own MTNL guys (whom we generally keep cursing for something or the other) ..

MTNL in association with Chennai-based Novatium, is launching its Rs 4,500 PC, which will be there with an Internet connection for just a small monthly fee.

But how are they cutting the costs so low?? :O
That is where the Innovation lies…Computer to be called “netPC” will be a similar looking BOX which we call a PC but its a no-frills attached device that is not going to have a regular CPU or any storage hardware but it will be connected to a Centralized Local Server which is going to perform all the functions like Processing, data storage, running applications etc and will provide the Internet Access as well.

The best part is that according to Novatium the user will be free to choose between the Linux and windows as the operating systems..

now that’s what i call a Complete Package !!

so its going to be as simple as getting a Cable connection to your TV Set or a Broadband connection to your computer….and what i feel is that with this they can sell alott of other content based subscriptions to the netPC customers like Games, softwares, educational packages and even Cable TV connection (Why Not !!).

offer sounds greatt…so now lets see how good it turns out to be.

and yes….as of now netPC will be available to the MTNL Delhi and Mumbai customers only..so guyz Watch-out…

Ahh….am not talking about the business but something which was nagging me for a long time now and now after i have done it, this “Loooong time” is haunting me.

I am talking about setting up this Blog… :O which i planned to start somewhere in 2005, then gave it a serious thought in 2006, then gave it Very Serious thought in September of 2006(followed by few actions towards it) and which now in October of 2007 i am able to setup and start !!

While doing it i was asking myself a few questions which will provide you a good insight into my own psyche (i know nobody is interested !) …but still…

But why i wanted to blog?

may be because I am an Observer, a Learner, an Entrepreneur, maybe a Mentor to people who don’t know very few things that i know (By chance).

so i want to voice my thoughts about the things which i am observing, happenings which are making me learn, ways i am carving out, solutions i am working on and blog was the best way to do that…(oh have i started explaining you the benefits of a blog…sorrry !!)

So what was the BIG DEAL in starting this blog??

Ans. Lack of time, i was running too busy (Read: Sheer Laziness and shifting the “Today’s Job to Tomorrow” attitude).

So what happened now? am i not busy or am i out of work?

Ans. Now i am learning to take out sometime for this (Read: learning to get rid of Laziness man !! …dats it !! )

Hope to serve something better than the crappy stuff above here and thanx for reading this one too (if you have by any chance reached here reading!!)
