			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Catchup with life post&#8230;  Lotsa things&#8230; quick entries on all those!!!</p>
<p>Lots of things in the last 2 months&#8230; the most nerve wrecking thing being the loss of my mom&#8230; <img src='http://www.cruisemaniac.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  Something that none of us have been able to come out of&#8230;  It so happens that when someone shares a relationship with you thats deeper than being a friend, and suddenly, that person gets sucked out&#8230; the void is too hard to handle&#8230; neways life moves on&#8230; and so do have us&#8230;</p>
<p>The next topic of the post: the ever lovely and awesome BCB a.k.a. <a href="http://BarCampBangalore.org" title="BarCampBangalore 6" target="_blank">BarCampBangalore</a> is back!!!  BCB-6 summer edition is happening on april 19th and 20th&#8230; The venue is IIM-Bangalore&#8230; Be there!!! I&#8217;ll be running around fixing up wifi for you peeps&#8230; Tats for sure&#8230;</p>
<p>The next most important topic of the post: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/motorola-insider-tells-all-about-the-fall-of-a-technology-icon/" title="Engadget Story on Moto's fall" target="_blank"><em><strong>Moto-dead</strong></em></a>&#8230; I&#8217;ve spoken about this for a very long time&#8230; And mentioned in my blog a couple of times too&#8230; This was bound to happen&#8230; Motorola Handsets Division being royally kicked out of the Motorola stable&#8230; atleast that&#8217;s how I choose to see it&#8230;</p>
<p>You cant be a blood-sucking leech in this age&#8230; you have to contribute or else you cease to exist.  I&#8217;d go by Motorola&#8217;s top brass&#8217; move to do this&#8230; but it could have completely been averted.  They didn&#8217;t have to screw up. And screw up with so much perfection that nothing can correct it ever again&#8230;</p>
<p>Motorola is perhaps the only company thats been practising the jack of all trades in the mobile segment for quite a while. And guess what! It BACKFIRED!!! What else would you expect??? I may not be Trump but I can see through the lining to say that in today&#8217;s age where competing takes balls of steel, you had better not be playing around on the highway!!! You&#8217;d definitely get run over!!! Many a time..</p>
<p>And I&#8217;d say this with a lot of sadness that a Mobile giant simply went ahead and committed suicide!!! RIP Moto!!! The Razr was an awesome show&#8230; nothing else after that&#8230; Not one single mobile after that was even worth picking up and holding in my hands&#8230;</p>
<p>Coming to the next important topic, my conversation has actually changed places&#8230; Keeping in touch with poeple on twitter has become the in thing and the easiest thing in life now&#8230; A conversation, although asynchronous, is definitely conversation worth it when the whole discussion is available anywhere and althemore better when the participatory limits dont exist!</p>
<p>Twitter just takes chit-chat to the next level&#8230; The erstwhile Yahoo chat rooms concept with a bling from technology&#8230; converse from anywhere&#8230; anyhow&#8230;  Follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/cruisemaniac" title="TheCruisemaniac's Twitter Page" target="_blank">twitter</a> to know more&#8230;</p>
<p>And there ends my hiatus&#8230;  Chao&#8230;</p>
