Social Malware goes on a Pilgrimage

Posted on March 30, 2009
One assumes the general profile of visitors to Dharamshala consists of buddhists, wannabe buddhists and intelligence agents. And now we add one more - snooping social engineered malware. Apparently this form of snooping software has been making steady inroads into the Dalai Lama’s administration...

Posted on March 13, 2009
Somebody once sat on the wall, and then had a great fall. So what do you do when that someone happens to be an IT co with thousands of employees and a significant ambassador of Brand India in the global IT arena? Well, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men are put to [...

Mobile Banking - India?s Central Bank Wakes Up

Posted on September 25, 2008

February Bundle

Posted on March 10, 2008
Hey there: For the regulars, I must apologise - I’ve again managed to let time slip by without a few bytes in your direction. February was an eventful month what with opening a new office, attending conferences and tracking some interesting developments in law...

Saving Private Indians

Posted on January 25, 2008
The latest buzz on the web is a statement by a senior EU official to the effect that IP addresses constitute private data and should therefore be subject to applicable EU directives on data protection. What surprises me is the way issues grab media attention much after the raw material becomes publicly available...

Gold Rush - The Race for Spectrum

Posted on January 16, 2008
In what is usually a sign of a maturing telecommunications market, sparks are flying over that classical scarce resource - spectrum! As India’s business houses race to corner larger slices of radio frequency allocated by the government for providing 2G wireless services, there is still this giant black hole called Sanchar Bhavan where no thought can penetrate and none emanates...

The Rule 49-O Email

Posted on December 22, 2007
There is this email that’s been doing the rounds for a while now on a Rule 49-O. It reads like this: Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section “49-O” that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn’t want to vote anyone! Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it...

TRAI woes

Posted on December 20, 2007
Its amazing how a nation with 215M odd telecom subscribers has a telecom regulator that can’t maintain a decent website. Some of the guys at TRAI do stellar stuff but it can be a frustrating experience for the average user browsing indexes of consultation papers, recommendations et al without being able to download any of them because of bad links...

Outsourcing legal services

Posted on December 14, 2007
There are legal outsourcing blogs and there are more legal outsourcing blogs. I for one have no intention of hijacking my own blog to lay down the zillionth word on the subject. But while a great many of my fellow members of this exalted profession would readily screw up their noses up on a sniff of the word “LPO”, I have some affinity to the concept of a flat legal world...

Uncomfortably Numb

Posted on April 20, 2007
I’m amazed. Utterly butterly amazed. Actually stupefied. Rendered mentally numb is a more accurate characterization, as Rumsfeld would put it. The National Security Council is out of work, from what can be gathered from this Economic Times report...

Avoid a Tug-of-War

Posted on April 18, 2007
