MP3 player > Noida - Rohini - Noida + Taxes?

Just came back from the E4M Quiz competition just now. I won a MP3 player and a t-shirt. The question was what are DVB-H, OneSeg etc. The answer. They are all Mobile TV protocols.


Anyway, that's not the last of it. I didn't actually get an MP3 player. I got a letter which says I can collect the MP3 player from Rohini (imagine driving from Noida to Rohini) and after I pay the applicable taxes.

So will the cost of travel + the taxes be less than the cheapo MP3 player they are going to give?

Irony?

Do you see it?


Also, no more no-smoking signs. (Though there was an announcement to the effect)

Hindi and other Indian languages on the Amazon Kindle

The Amazon Kindle currently does not support Hindi and other Indian languages. So I was experimenting and messing around with the Kindle, till I discovered that we can actually display Devanagari (and Bengali) text as well. Here are a couple of samples. More instructions coming soon.
