Kya hua, kab hua, kyon hua, kidhar hua, kaise hua. Bas itna hi.

Airtel in Bangalore (and probably Karnataka too) has started pushing location names for their GSM service. So whenever I'm in M G Road it displays M G Road on my cell phone and similarly for other places I happen to visit. I'm not sure if I'm entirely comfortable with this level of tracking and the implications for privacy. The next step could be advertisements pushed to my cell phone based on my location. I sure don't want to see an advertisement for Deepam Silks when I'm on M G Road :-)
