'Reach out' is a show on SS Music, hosted by Craig generally. But went there to find out its hosted only be one person. ME. Its a Phone-in programme, requests. The usual. Lot of bloopers. And slips. Had to talk up 7 callers. And I couldn't think of what to ask them. Took me a while, kept the " what are you doing this summer" constant and that to after prodding from the producer. He must be laughing is hat off.
The thing is this is the 'vocal month' at SS Music and the Icon of the Month being SPB sir. So they are asking all the singers to be on the shows, or host them I think. Cameras first rolled with my show. :) Finished flirting with it. It will be on air June 1, 5-6 and retelecast on the 2nd at 8.30-9.30. Still have to remove my war paint.
And I dont know why my a/c is suspended. My friend is hosting it..! I am usually the last to know about my website! The last time it was already 4 months. Until a good samaritan told me what was up, actually, that it was down.
All the details about the show .. tomorrow..
By the way, wanted to know, what are the chances of someone filing a defamation case on me on the basis of my blog?Would like answers for that.. I would like to let people know about some lowdowns too... that its not silver dust and love and laughter all the time, and some people whom you trusted turned out to be something else......

I know Chinmayi is blissful, Chims is easy for typing .
Anyway coming back to defamation depending on whom or about what you are writing.
The safe way is use someother name like 'Mr.M said this or Ms. S was so boring' ;)
BTW I have one question in carnatic
Have you ever listened to Raag Rasika Ranjani ?
In the movie Bharathi there is song called 'Edhilum Ingu' beautifully sung by Madhu, same with classic film song 'Amudhe Thamizhe' from the movie Kovil Pura it is one of those morning ragas
Swarams where 'Sa Ri1 Ga2 Pa tha(2) Sa lots of shades of Malahari.
I am trying to identify the ragam for the above songs
thanks

*Sigh* wish i could have called and given you a hard time ;) just kidding.. nice one with the war paint. LOL.. Defamation case on the blog? R u kidding? The worst they could do it shut it down,a nd that too if u decide to do it.. Besides, if someone ever wanted to file a defamation suit, i would have to face the music first,.. so ;) chill out kiddo.. no sweat. feel free to dump everything here... or start an anonymous blog (and give me the link and I swear.. no publicity).. well. the comment's got long enough. and my best friend's online.. gotta run.Peace!
defamatin case can be filed but unlikely, i mean who would take the trouble to look at ur blog and file a case based on that? its a lot of work, secondly proving that what u said has actually defamed the person is hard in india. same bet would be to sublty identify the person without mentioning their name if u are going to state earth shattering stuff. otherwise it would be alrite to state their names, or avoid using second names, or distort the spelling of their names.
Jimmy,
Your blog has been mentioned in today's edition of the Financial Express. You can read the article here.
http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=91895
bloggin is not convered under indian cyber laws so u cant be sued, my blog also has some controversial views, checked it out,to be on the safe side cause i dont have money for legal fees
Hey Jimmy,
Usually the worst thing that can happen is, as sriram said, the blog being forced to shut down citing the defamation thing. but blog is a place where we speak from the heart. Its your place. Go ahead and do whatever you like. But, people never spell names in their blogs. Now that you have created a blog in your own identity, better keep those persons as anonymous... Simple aint it??
And do get ur site up soon? Or else, just make this blog as your official place. you can spruce it up using ur creativity, and it would give a personal unique feel to ur fans up there... :-) you can transfer your photos to flickr and other details as individual posts in this blog page..
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun. "
~~Mary Lou Cook"
maintaining the anonymity by you would be difficult chinmayi but I think with the way u write I think u can handle it pretty well...and ofcourse this a free sphere..that too a personal one...so maintain the anonymity and give us the details :) let us see how well we can decipher things :) or for that fact how good we are at it :)
Whatever happened to freedom of expression :-(
looks like filing defamation against someone has turned to be the quickest route to media 'fame'. How ironic !
As already suggested you can use the initials, would not recommend a Ms or Mr, you can leave people to think a bit ;)
Worst, yeah shut down the blog and may be some money in damages or injuction against writing that person in specific.
Has cyberlaw become so 'enforceable' in India that they can do something about it ?. I doubt it !
"that its not silver dust and love and laughter all the time, and some people whom you trusted turned out to be something else...... "..People are the same, whether are not it is the e-World or rEEl world
Unfortunately so !

If you are worried about that, then you should first remove anything that could be potentially offensive. And it would be best not to use names in any of the posts.
Well technically yes you can be sued but best way to restrict that is to put a disclaimer. You can see a sample disclaimer on my blog :)
