Hello and welcome to Prasanth's Views and Reviews.

2008 Olympics begin today in Beijing, China

Even google is getting into olympic spirit with special logo The opening ceremony will begin today at 5:30 PM Indian time. It will be broadcast live from National Stadium in Beijing.

I just bought a Samsung 40 inch flat screen TV to watch the Olympic games. Sadly there are no HDTV providers in India at the moment so I will have to do with tata sky.

The program will be aired on DD sports and DD national. Its sad none of the top sports channels like espn and star sports get to cover the Olympics in India and we will have to endure doordarshan’s crappy coverage.

Hopefully this years games will be exciting and India will be able to get more than one Gold medal.

It will also be interesting to see how many games will be interrupted by protesters from Tibet and Human Rights groups.

Sites you should check out for Olympics coverage.

Prashant, I want to criticize your recent articles in constructive way. Hope you take it positively. Recently I am observing that, your articles are are bit ‘boring’ and does not have any real information. Also, the articles appear with a big gap. OK. You may be busy. But atleast avoid putting boring ones like “jack fruits review“, “Apple sticker” etc..

Thank you for pointing it out.

About jack fruits review

I want to do food review because i love food. I was planning to do reviews on restuarents etc.

But i don’t visit that many hotels so next big thing is to do reviews of all the packet food items out there, i will only do new ones. I never seen this jack fruit chips in a packet so i did a review so that you too would find it and try it out. I also am planning to do bottled drinks that are new. I am keeping those entries short, If they are not good you can skip over them.

About the apple sticker post its not like you see that many apple products in India and especially apple logos. So its was quite unusually to see apple logo that to in a car driven by a women.

I see your point will try to do more good blog posts in future.

i will be doing a iphone 2.0.1 firmware review and how to upgrade etc soon, caught up in the olympic excitement.

thank you
