Soon, you will be able to transfer cash via mobile

Soon, you will be able to transfer cash via mobile


Mumbai: Bharti Airtel and Western Union have decided to jointly develop and pilot a Mobile Money Transfer service in India, ushering in the possibility of sending money to India via a mobile phone.

However, the Mobile Money Transfer service is subject to a regulatory approval.

"We are delighted to work with Western Union in this path-breaking initiative and be at the forefront of enabling international remittance over mobile for our 50-million mobile-phone customers in India. This will help us move money via mobile in a fast and convenient way, supporting low-value transactions," said Gopal Vittal, director marketing and communications, Bharti Airtel Limited.

In India, Western Union operates through 45,000 agent locations, including 8,500 post offices and more than 14,000 bank branches across 5,000 towns and cities. This program will enable Indians living abroad to send remittances to their families in India in an easy and convenient fashion through the vast networks of both companies.

"Our association with Bharti Airtel for the Mobile Money Transfer service is an important step in expanding the range of Western Union global services to a new category of consumers across the world," said Matt Dill, General Manager, Western Union Mobile. "This is a very exciting development, especially given the expanse and reach of mobile services in the Indian subcontinent."

With mobile phones becoming an integral part of our lives, applications that allow a mobile subscriber to view and manage funds on their handsets are emerging in select countries, as a foundation for phone-based financial services.

According to the World Bank, the number of migrants globally is 200 million, approximately three per cent of the world's population. The World Bank also identifies India as the number one remittance recipient market. Statistics from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) suggest, that the inward annual remittance into India stood at over $26 billion for the fiscal year 2006 – 2007, accounting for approximately 10 per cent of the global inward remittance market.

The relationship with Bharti Airtel follows an agreement between Western Union and the GSM Association (GSMA), a global trade association representing over 700 GSM mobile phone operators, to facilitate the development of cross-border mobile money transfer services.

Save your hard drive the right way

Save your hard drive the right way

New Delhi: There is all the reason to feel bad, if your hard drive has crashed, but the good news is that there is life after death for your hard drive and your data can be recovered.

Stellar Information systems help you recover your hard drive, and they are, a phone call away. The recovery agent or the technician checks for vitals that are now non-existent and he then takes it straight to the class 100 clean room.

The reason we need a clean room is because the hard drive head can withstand only dust particles, which are 0.5 micron thick.

The hard drive in case of a crash, needs a head transplant. So a suitable donor is found from over 15,000 options. The needle is then set at a gap of 0.5 microns from the magnet coated aluminium disc, and the operation is successful.

However, you could also get a new hard drive. But what if there's nothing wrong with your crashed drive, but you still can't access your data, or have deleted it by accident?

The good news is that the data can actually still be recovered, whether they are pictures on your digital camera, files on your computer or your pen drive.

With software ranging from Rs 1600 to Rs 5000 from companies like stellar, the lost data may be recovered, through a user-friendly and hassle free interface.

If you want to erase a file beyond recovery, then you'll find them from companies like ontrack, voomTech and disk-wiper. But think thrice before you use them.


PRECIOUS DATA: Your data can be recovered, even if your hard drive crashes

New Delhi: Sourav Ganguly’s maiden ton at his home ground in Kolkata’s Eden Gardens was not the only reason for excitement on Saturday morning.

While Team India cruised to a comfortable position in the second test against Pakistan, there was much drama off the field as well.

A Kolkata police officer was caught on camera snatching the National Flag from a cricket fan and throwing it away. The incident took place at the club house entrance gate.

The police officer was taken off duty with effect from Saturday and Kolkata Police Commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakroborty has asked for the relevant footage from TV channels.

“It's an extremely unfortunate incident. Though it is prohibited for supporters to carry any posters, banners or flags inside the lower tier of Club House block as it disturbs the side screen and the batsman on the crease, it does not mean anyone can dishonour the national flag,” Chakraborty was quoted as saying by news agencies.

'We are looking into the matter. Strict action will be taken against the police constable if he is found guilty,' he said.

IANS reports Kolkata Police Joint Commissioner Pradip Kumar Chattopadhyay said they are trying to procure a copy of the footage from private television channels for initiating departmental inquiry against the constable.

He said the constable was removed from duty immediately after the incident was reported.

Madhuri shines in a nice, boring film

Madhuri Dixit is back.

She isn't quite the same, you realise immediately as the megastar takes on precise steps in a Flashdance act, all legwarmers and right-angle pirouettes. She's older, and not the kind of sexy we are used to these days. Conditioned to hearing hard dhaks from inside our shirts at her every thumka, the first few seconds of this comeback film leave us nearly devastated.

Then, she breaks step. Instructing a lanky man in expressions and a younger woman in booty-shaking, life flits across her familiar face. A gamut of moods flow rapidly across, as we instantly, helplessly believe in her, in the spirited choreographer in action. Then, she tosses us that smile, and all is well with the world.

Well, almost all.

Aaja Nachle is a warm, well-intentioned and competently acted happy extravaganza - except, it fails to engage. Madhuri constantly and inimitably infuses life into Anil Mehta's directorial debut, yet this predictable film, while watchable, ends up -- the lethal word must be used -- pretty darned boring.

The thing -- we're told by way of flashback and the powerful vocals of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan -- is that Madhuri's Dia, life of the small fictional town of Shamli, fell in love with a photographer from National Geographic. While the town gasped at the scandal, Rooh Afza glasses frozen on hitherto welcoming trays, Dia told her refreshingly junkie dance teacher that she was off. He encouraged this following of the heart, she fled to the US, after which the lensman didn't seem quite the right fit anymore. Cut to the present day, with Dia the choreographer and single-mom returning prodigally to Shamli, cause her guru's liable to cough it.

Dia returns to her roots, the town's Ajanta Theatre, only to see it in ruins. A posthumous video message from the guru (thoughtfully viewable on HDV compatible projectors, bless his soul) begs Dia to resurrect the town's cultural hub, which she then decides to do, taking on swarthy politicians, deep-pocketed builders with shopping mall aspirations, and even the local Raja, a brand-wearing youth who prides himself on being able to make pizza. Not to mention a town that reportedly hates her.

Anyway, this Raja -- Akshaye Khanna [Images], in a neat special appearance giving him better lines than most of his lead roles -- is most bemused by this cultural activism. Dia promises to set up a massive show in Shamli, bringing forth the best dancers from her US troupe, but this is where the King neatly draws the line. 'The dan-cers,' he says, brilliantly mocking her accented twang -- something all of us have been itching to do -- 'should be local.' Thus the Lagaan [Images]-esque bet: that either Dia stage a complete musical using a ragtag bunch of Shamli players in two months, or Ajanta make way for a mall.

Simple plot then, but with much promise.

Ranvir Shorey, first and foremost. The film's most compelling character, Mohan is owner of the local tea-stall. Already been measured for his wedding sehra, he was downing a celebratory drink when Dia eloped, and has lamented this loss since. He reacts to Dia's return by ripping off the poster flaunting it in his face, but fails to throw away the crumpled ball of paper. As Dia's hunt for workable thespians gets increasingly frustrating, he sighs in bed, and fishes out the poster scrap, sighing at it by moonlight. He irons the paper thoroughly, with love, and there is much poignancy in his dreamy stares at a prettied-up Mads, on paper so hot you can see the smoke.

Yet this thread is left significantly unexplored. There is so much fantastic potential here, for awkwardness and much interesting conversation between him and Dia, even conflict, but things, while briefly brought up, are awkwardly dismissed to make room for more predictable frills. Later, when Mohan is a part of the cast, the day of the play sees him pasting flyers all over his menu. It's a great character, one you root for, and one who needed to be etched out better. Like the rest of the cast -- among whom Akhilendra Mishra is the other notable mention, besides Irrfan Khan [Images] who obviously manages a couple of disarming lines -- you feel the character sketches had more meat than the script itself.

And a word to those nice people at Yash Raj Films, entertaining us for decades: Adi, boss, you need to understand that while we are all desperately craving escape, it doesn't necessarily translate to excess. While Ajanta Theatre is a barely standing amphitheatre by day, the songs by night see it transformed into a mega set, a la Shiamak Dawar, accompanied by dozens of extras -- at a time when Dia's struggling for six people to fill her cast, and a day to do up the sets, this is purely inane. Oh, of course it's Bollywood, but a song and dance number in the heartlands can be small and realistic and yet utterly spectacular, just ask Ashutosh Gowariker or Vishal Bhardwaj. Escapism, yes, but with some rough edges. It's what gives a film its heart.

Aaja Nachle is a tragically half-baked film, bringing up questions and situations and interests, and then forgetting about them. The town is easily bullied into love, rebellion, defiance and disgust. Everything logiclessly works out with far too much convenience, even for a formulaic mainstream megastar vehicle, which this isn't. There is, however, a rather superbly done Laila-Majnu musical towards the end, a solid and most entertaining half hour -- although it might seem exhausting after the rest has dragged so much.

The rest of the time, you're watching characters flit by, wondering why so many of the cast look more like others: Divya Dutta [Images] uncannily like Vidya Balan [Images], Kunal Kapoor [Images] like Rohan Sippy and Konkana Sensharma like Antara Mali [Images], at least at the start.

Thankfully, Madhuri Dixit [Images] is still Madhuri Dixit. And that smile is worth a couple stars.
