One mobile number forever, One mobile number for life: Google is progressing towards becoming the centre of our global communications and is about to launch its new version of grand central, Google Voice in the next few weeks. Google Voice will have raft of features and the good feature of previous version i.e. grand central are also included in it. At present Google is only sending the invitations for Google Voice and will take it into functioning soon. Google Voice will allow users to maintain one number for life time and maintain that number diverting it to any number that you may currently be using, home phone, work phone, mobile, hotel room etc. It has a lot of features that will grow exponential moving forward and will enhance existing capabilities of your phone number. With Google Voice, you can access your voicemail online, read automatic transcriptions of your voicemail, create personalized greetings based on who is calling and make cheap international calls. You can make phone calls check your emails from this number. You can centralize all of your contacts and store and recall messages convert messages to text. Integrating the web and your phone is also easier than ever. The features which are added to older version are transcripts, SMS, international calling, and conference calling.

Free of cost: The most important point which no one can neglect is that it’s free of cost from Google. Well it will not be launched in all countries now but we can hope that it will not take much longer time to launch it worldwide. If Google Voice is a success then this service will make Google centre of your communications system, effectively giving them control and data on everyone you communicate with on every channel giving them a multitude of ways of monetizing the system. Those people, who are already using Grand Central can upgrade it to the new Google Voice just by click the upgrade instructions at the top of their inbox to get started. Google Voice service will be more beneficial with the new number as it will provide many additional features such as letting you record customized greetings for each caller, switch phones in mid-call, listen in on voicemail while a caller leaves a message, and block unwanted callers; it also offers lifetime voicemail storage, access to voicemail via web, phone, or e-mail, and call announcement and handling.

It will launch soon: The basic idea behind providing this one number is although wireless number portability has taken some of the sting out of switching carriers but there are still some constraints with moving out of state and with landline home and office numbers tied to geographic regions. If you use Google Voice then you can give out a single phone number to all your friends and relatives and they can call you on your single number wherever you are. Hope to get it launched soon in India too.

Saifareena’s Kurbaan

Tuesday, 17th November, 2009

Saifareena’s ‘Kurbaan’: It seems Kurbaan did not get so much publicity because of its story, casting but it is popular because of its extra external rumors. Recently Kareena Kapoor’s poster was covered by Shiv Sainik to cover her back and lots of more like that. They have full hope that the movie will also be rocking once released but unfortunately when it was released on October 30, 2009, it was not doing so well and the business from the movie was not so good or can say not up to the mark. They all felt bad at that time. They said they worked hard but still what they else say? According to critics Kurbaan was a flop movie and did not give good response.

Kurbaan: About the movie the over all movie was not so good. The story writing and also the songs was not so impressive as expected. There is no doubt the cast was strong but only cast does not matter. Today’s public is very smart and they know where to spend and how to spend.  This is the reason that eve the longest kiss in the movie and the back less scenes were not impressed the audience and they went back and prefer to sit in home instead of watching this. This was the story of a girl who was teacher and fell in love with a professor and later they shifted to New York to start a new life but the destiny is something unexpected for them and they crossed from many experiences which was not good. The teacher of the movie learnt a lesson in the end that never believes anyone in the life. Overall the review was not so good and the movie was considered a flop. Director of the movie has hoped that the movie will go though well but god forbidden it was not going as expected the whole team and crew.

Cast & Crew: The cast and crew include Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Om Puri, Kirron Kher and Rupinder Nagra. The movie is directed by Rensil D’Silva and the producer of the movie is Karan Johar and Hiroo Johar. The story of the movie is written by Rensil D’ Slilva itself. Music of the movie is given by Salim-Sulaiman and Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy. Director and producer tried a lot to make the movie rocking and put a lot masala in the movie to make it spicy but unfortunately all their efforts were failed and they were not happy after getting such low response of the movie. The interesting thing in the whole movie is its production time period that was starting in November 2008 and completed in May 2009.            

England cricket great Sir Ian Botham has dismissed talk: Today’ cricket has taken many variations and each person has its own choice and according to that they like to watch the series. Some of them added that now the game is becoming just a way to earn income and for this even the game administrator helped a lot. They made different formats of the game and indirectly become harshly on the format. They even themselves don’t know this. One of the great stars of cricket Sir Ian Botham was very angry and said this is not going to be good with the game. He also said it was ‘bastardizing’ the game. He said twenty-twenty is good games which introduce the youngsters in the filed but if overall we see then this is just game of fame and nothing else. He said this is not the way of playing this game.

Authorities are greedy:  He said it seems that now everyday match is result of pure greediness of the authority members. They become so greedy that they organize the tournament just a gap of shot time. He gave a very beautiful example and said if you watch your favorite movie every day then definitely it will become leas favorite film of yours. Similar thing is happened with the cricket game. People get bored by seeing the matches again and again. It will low down the craze of match among people as they become used to of this thing. Earlier there was craze about this game as the matches were played once or twice in a year, but now day’s everyday there is a match. What’s all this proves? Simply that people of the authority become greedy. To earn money they organize match in short interval of time and this will leave a bad impact of the game on the people. He also said twenty- twenty games should be played once in every four years like World Cup format.  

England team is good: Botham told that England team is at number five at this time and we don’t mind for this at least we are still on number 5. He said if we have right bowlers and all of them are well fit then there may be chance that we reach to number one position. He also said that the game administrators should have to think about this. It is a game and don’t make it a way to earn income. It will spoil the mood of the game and also people don’t want this. They want a healthy and exciting game and not a dull or boring game. He said I just hope that they would think about this.
