Medianama, run by the easily excitable bucket of lard Nikhil Pahwa, today reported some statistics on HT Media, the company that owns Hindustan Times and Mint, along with a few web properties not even worth mentioning. First of all, for those of you that have ever dealt with dough boy, isn’t he one annoying s.o.b.? He’s like one of those fruit flies that keeps buzzing around your head, one that you just want to spray the entire can of Baygon on. After that, you want to step on the fruit fly carcass, just to make sure. And after that, you want to flush it down the toilet or light it on fire, making sure in the rare case it did survive, its chances are reduced to nothing. He’s like one of those.
Anyways, the interesting thing about the post is that there was no mention of DesiMartini.com, the lump of sewage that HT “bought” back in late 2007. Of course, higher ups (and the highest up, yours truly) know the facts about the sham of a deal, which, at this point, is irrelevant. Pahwa’s omission obviously makes sense since he’s cousins with internet genius Vivek Pahwa, who, along with DesiMartini.com, has a few more gems in his crown, such as SecondShaadi.com & Gaadi.com. What’s next, numbnuts, SecondGaadiForThirdShaadi.com? Christ, gimme a break!
The likeliest scenario is that HT Media has written off DesiMartini.com and has cast it off to the depths of Internet hell, where it belongs. A few retarded jingles on TV does not an internet product make.

Didn’t think I’d be worthy of your contempt, but this buzzing fruit fly didn’t mention Desimartini because there wasn’t a mention of it,and he doesn’t think it is (or ever was) of much consequence. Secondly, since it is now owned by HT, the historical connection is irrelevant, though you’re free to disagree.
