As a people we must ask ourselves one question: do we really have the appetite for unvarnished truth? Or is this a selective menu where only some things are palatable to us?

Barkha Dutt has a must read article in the Hindustan Times on how much truth we as the Indian Public want.

How much skepticism are we willing to apply when it comes to our institutions and the statements coming out from them?

This is my next cell phone, the Nokia E71. I had heard this was coming out a while ago, but was reminded again today when I saw a link on Mobile Crunch to an accidentally  Nokia demo, which had already been taken offline before I could watch it. I started googling a bit and found this pre release review.

It takes a lot to get us excited but the E71 has done it. This thing, in our opinion, is the best phone Nokia has made to date. That’s a very bold statement, we know. But this really is going to be the phone to beat by a lot of manufacturers. From the design, to the specs, to the size, the feel — it has the entire package.

Ive been using the E61 for almost 2 years now, and its time for a change. I was thinking of the E61i, but now I am going to wait till this ones out.
