following is a piece of news taken from The Hindu today.
Leader of the Opposition and senior Trinamool Congress leader, Partha Chatterjee, reportedly called up Commissioner of Police Gautam Mohan Chakravarty on Saturday night and allegedly threatened to “set all of Bengal on fire” unless some of those arrested in connection with the violence near a city market were released, according to the police.
“You are intimidating me … saying you will set all of Bengal on fire. I am recording this. Kindly do not intimidate me,” Mr. Chakravarty told Mr. Chatterjee from his mobile in the course of the conversation.
The call was made after the Commissioner went to the Charu Market area from where the police arrested some persons in connection with setting ablaze of some police jeeps and attacking the local thana following a bus accident there. The prime accused is stated to be a local Trinamool leader.
Mr. Chakravarty told Mr. Chatterjee that arrests would be made irrespective of party affiliation.
Mr. Chatterjee took exception to the Commissioner “making public his response to a private conversation with the Leader of the Opposition.”
“It is an infringement on my right to privacy and I have written to the West Bengal Governor and the Union Home Minister in this regard. This brings out in the open moves by the police to keep a close surveillance on conversations of Opposition leaders, including Ms. Mamata Banerjee,” Mr. Chatterjee told The Hindu.
You call the commissionar of police and threaten him that you are gona set the state on fire. If he records the call for security purposes, you say its an infringement on your right to privacy! Now thats called democracy!

movie review : DHRONA
KK Menon is superb. The music is quite good. The story is disastrous! If you like seeing Ramayana or Mahabharatha in TV, you may find better graphics in the movie. Give your brains some rest - its a pure non-logical movie! If you really wanna watch the movie, watch it on screen, if you get a cd - chances are high that you wouldn watch the movie till end!
Rating:
Story: Pathetic.
Star cast: Good.
Individual Performance : KK Menon - Superb, Rest - Average.
Music : Good.
Animation : Average.
Overall: Not worth seeing.

hail V-GUARD
My UPS was acting weird for a long time now.. It simply was reluctant to get charged up. The moment power goes off my system get switched off! I was rich enough to use a UPS as an extension box! Some one told me that the battery might have got screwed! Now they make sense 'cos i am using this UPS for the past 5 years :-) So were do I get the battery replaced..?? I started searching web for a service centre of V-GUARD in Hyderabad. As my instincts told me, I din get any hits.. So checked out the V-GUARD website for a phone number. Called the Andhra Pradesh Service heldesk number and got the contact details for their Hyderabad desk.
Yesterday I took my UPS and drove all the way to their service station.. The traffic was horrible. Going out on a Saturday is a torture these days! The shop closes at 5.30 and wola, i reached there at 5! thanks for the traffic, it was a 2 hours drive..
More bad news awaited me at the service station. The guy says they dont have a stock of batteries and it might take 15 days for them to order one. I dont know how my face reacted cos he then said there is an exide showroom nearby and he would fix it if i buy him the required battery. Hurrey.. Good news afterall.. I rushed to the Exide showroom and got the battery.
He fixed my UPS in 15 minutes and good news is that he din charge me. Of course my UPS din carry any 5 years guarantee tag with it, but still the guy was pleasing enough when he said " its free service sir".. man hail V-Guard..
