Know Your Mods - Durga

Posted: 19 Jul 2011 12:27 PM PDT

Second in the KYMod series is Durga. She joined CE around 3 years back and soon become the integral part of CE. first as member then ambassador and now Moderator. I was privileged to interview her and thanks her for answering the questions:

[CB]: A brief journey for English Tutor –Durga to Ambassador - Durga to now…Mod Durga?
[Durga]: English tutoring was just a few threads, later all my other initiatives (few of them secret) it died off too. Durga (Ambassador) and Durga(Mod) have one thing in common. They don't tend to fullfill their job responsibility though the responsibilities differ. I know that sounds bad .

[CB]: Over a time we have seen a maturity in posts of Team member Durga and Mod Durga? What difference does this Mod post bring in you as a CE member?
[Durga]: In a span of 3 years anyone and everyone matures so did I. Mod role as such brings no difference. In real life, I don't like people littering on streets nor I like people breaking traffic rules nor I like people jumping queues. So moderating is my natural instinct. As a cean it makes me more responsible.

[CB]: As per me you are one of the coolest Mod we have on forum, any comments?
[Durga]: Cool.. me??? Alright. This is different from my previous tag of being 'strict'. By the way in what sense am I cool?? I think many of them have seen me agitated most of them time here ;).
[CB]: You are being modest here...

[CB]: In Your KYCEan, and past discussion you told that you wanted to ask biggie about a new section, "How Stuff works". Any updates on that?
[Durga]: I think patty, did start off such topic , he was expecting comments and discussions to start off , but nothing solid came out of it. As far as I doing it is concerned, nopes I did not take the initative.

[CB]: One thing you want to change in CE?
[Durga]: Nothing much. But sometimes I feel CEans tend to become hypocrites. This is another discussion all together, and I don't want to pull it off.

[CB]: What about your dream of house running on blue tooth and a greener world? Could you explain it for all new users :) ? Any progress in that?
[Durga]: Nopes, I have gone anywhere with that. I had something of this in mind. I have a centralized Bluetooth device and all my electric equipments are configured with Bluetooth clients , and I can operate each of them individually with my Bluetooth.
This is now commercial though, through a different technology known as zigbee. I have other home projects which are running, but won't be live before Dec 2011

[CB]: Except Biggie, Name 5 CEan's that crossed your mind within 5 seconds and you think are the most potential folks on the forum
[Durga]: Ash, Gohm, Maro, Vikram, Pradeep , shalini goel , rifaa and many more.

[CB]: Pardon me,
[CB]: a. Your few shortcomings… excessive Sleeping / lots of time waste on TV / and all time confused. Any improvement on that :P
[Durga]: :D , my sleep is actually a boon for me. I can sleep where ever and whenever I want.
TV – I have stopped watching it. Now a days I get severe headache when I watch T.V for more than 1 hour.
Confusion : I think I am no more :P, I know what I am supposed to do and I have my priorities right. So things have actually bettered up.

[CB]: b. What if you un-knowingly disable any spammer (Not actually a spammer)?
[Durga]: Hmm, I don't remember doing it. But incase I do it, I think there is a facility to reverse the effect.

[CB]: c. Have you ever had a clash with admin? What was your stance then?
[Durga]: I did have many ideology differences. They are left best un-discussed.

[CB]: d. In last three years by any chance thoughts of leaving CE had crossed your mind, how you overcome with that?
[Durga]: Yes, I am currently in one such instance. I had thought of leaving CE over 3 times now. This time around it was Ramani Sir's small talk which pulled me in again.

[CB]: Fun Zone
[CB]: a. You stopped teaching English to CEan's why?
[Durga]: I felt there were much more better things to learn than English.

[CB]: b. Any blooper of your Life? On CE?
[Durga]: Too many to remember and recollect.

[CB]: c. What was your first reaction when few CEan's thought you were a guy (May be confused with name). Was the change of Avtar, a result of that?
[Durga]: I am used to it. People who listen to me on phone for first time, think it's a guy whom they are talking to. Until recently I never used gtalk or skype as my voice would be severely modulated to sound like a guys. My sister used to record and send me voice samples. Only recently is that Gtalk seem to be working ok for me. As far as avatar is concerned, I watch too much of anime. This character is of anime called – AVATAR – the last air bender

[CB]: How do you feel now when Aussies are not at the top of the world in Cricketing world?
[Durga]: As such when INDIA won, I was on streets celebrating, so it doesn't make much difference when AUSSIEs don't.

[CB]: Quickies (Answer In a second)
[CB]: a. What activity you will like the most in free time- long drive with - Boyfriend / long drive with friends, or sleeping?
[Durga]: Hmm, I don't remember myself being free since long time. May be since 5 yrs or so. Thanks for reminding. :) . But yes, I did have a snow-white sleep for 13 hrs straight. Followed by sever headache and then I slept again. I think the next day being Monday myself and my roomie decided we bunk work and stay home.

[CB]: b. Which responsibility you liked the best, Ambassador Durga / Mod Durga
[Durga]: Nah! I rather don't talk about responsibilities

[CB]: c. Who you admire the most - A politician / a Social Worker?
[Durga]: Politician. Politician has the capability to implement the changes, while a social worker can only suggest changes.

[CB]: d. Name any 5 CEan's that crossed your mind?
[Durga]: Too many

[CB]: Some advice for fellow CEan's as an CE Member
[Durga]: I aren't in a position to advice. I might need some :mrgreen:

It was nice to know about you Durga, Thanks!

Posted: 19 Jul 2011 08:35 AM PDT

After HTC Flyer, the new tablet from HTC which is, I believem temporarily named 'Puccini' is going to be in the market soon.

HTC Puccini is a 10 inch tablet. HTC "Puccini" will be distributed through AT&T, and is designed to work with the budding AT&T 4G network.

There are lots of rumors flowing around about in the news. There have been hints that the Puccini will have 2GB of RAM, a 1.5GHz processor - likely dual-core, a 10-inch display with 1280 x 720 resolution. It's also said that it will run some version of Android Honeycomb.

Though it received favorable reviews, HTC Flyer has not been a tremendous success.

If you get to read some news about this new tablet, BE THE FIRST ONE TO POST IT HERE.
