Atlast I am starting to my home after more than a month!! 
Will be boarding a bus to take me to Coimbatore by tomorrow morning!! I am coming there to attend a wedding of one of the best staff who had taught me back at College!! Feeling great!!!!
Check out this faux website that talks about apparently “MS Firefox” and a takeover of Firefox by Microsoft!! Its hilarous.. Though News sites talk about the site disappearing, Its still there!! Check it out here and here.
Here’s an excerpt:
MSFirefox 2007′s new TakeOver(TM) technology protects the Windows Kernel by automatically recognizing all McAfee and Symantec programs as viruses. Downloading has never been safer.
He he he! I dont know how this guy(or gal) is still staying online!
If current trends continue, Its curtains for sea-fish by 2050 according to research performed by leading researchers and published in the journal Science.
There will be virtually nothing left to fish from the seas by the middle of the century if current trends continue, according to a major scientific study.
Fishing bans and other regulations that prevent over-fishing are the only things that can prevent this decline. But there are a lot of other factors, including political, that is preventing this from happening.
Protecting stocks demands the political will to act on scientific advice – something which Boris Worm finds lacking in Europe, where politicians have ignored recommendations to halt the iconic North Sea cod fishery year after year. Without a ban, scientists fear the North Sea stocks could follow the Grand Banks cod of eastern Canada into apparently terminal decline. “I’m just amazed, it’s very irrational,” he said. “You have scientific consensus and nothing moves. It’s a sad example; and what happened in Canada should be such a warning, because now it’s collapsed it’s not coming back.”

Though I had openly voiced my dislike towards Orkut’s unintended non-functionality, Orkut has finally given in to feedback from users I guess to include a “Reply” feature in each scrap! I had personally given this feedback quite a while ago and I guess a lot of others had done the same too!!
Now this is cool! You dont have to waste a lot of time just to reply to a ‘scrap’! Just click on “reply” at the bottom of a scrap you have received to open up a “Reply-box”!
Pretty cool! Now it isnt a pain to reply to scraps!
The Award Winning Browser just got re-incarnated! Spell Checking is a cool feature that has been added in addition to the loads of other features like Tabbed Browsing, Pop-up blocker etc!!
Download and check it out for yourself if you still havent tried it out!
Download Torpark and browse the internet anonymously by connecting via the TOR Network. Your true IP address is not displayed to the server.
Its based on the portable version of Firefox and can be run from a USB Drive without any traces of installation on the system where you intend to run it on. Regarding privacy at the exit servers, I could not come up with information on that at the site. Except that the Creator, Steve Topletz supports privacy!
And yeah, its free. Download it from here.
That is precisely what I am. Its been close to a month in the Corporate World. I am getting a grip on the way of life here. Kinda settled down for the time being. I have not yet been fully incorporated into the project that I have been assigned to, a lot of training sessions are still going on, but I strangely felt lazy to update my blog even though I had quite some free time left. Lethargy is having me for lunch.
I have settled down at my residence with more than two months having passed since I came out of the confines of my house, my parents, my sister and my(unofficial) kitten. Had to buy supplies that had gotten over. Finally I am beginning to know that maintaining a house is really no easy task. Hats off to you mom(and a little, to you sis!).
One thing I have noted is that I am beginning to find people familiar even if I have never met them before in my life! When I was in school, I could place anybody I had met before at the location I had met them, the circumstances etc. But as time passed by and I made more contacts and moved to more places, College, Small organisations etc., I am beginning to face difficulties in ascertaining the initial meetings that I may have had with people. And one strange off-shoot to this is finding people familiar!! Whew!!
I bought a TVS Bike to carry me along the roads of Bangalore, my First love (Bike only! Dont scream Maddy!)which is still at home, with my dad having taken over its control.
Other than that, I am still the same guy, albeit a bit more lazier than what I was. :-/
PS:- Now, after beginning to ‘work’, I really appreciate people like Jax, Mahendran, Kishore and all the others who maintain great blogs even with all the work that may come across their way!
Two days earlier, I went home from work, The previous night I had washed all my clothes and hung them up to dry, on the second floor. All the clothes were dry, but a gap broke the peaceful row of clothes on the clothesline where a very good shirt was. I assumed my friend would have taken it and kept it inside.
It was only yesterday evening it dawned to me that the shirt will not be found in my premises again. It was stolen! It was a good-looking shirt and I was flustered. When I told this incident to my friend who has been residing here at Bangalore for quite some time, his reply was
“Welcome to Bangalore!!” :-/
No.. That’s not an incomplete email address.. 
Now that I have started working, the things that need to be worked out are my day to day activities! My part-time Masters programme in Computer Science and Engineering will be beginning shortly and the only day I’ll be free(thankfully) is Sunday! But, come Sunday and I take the form of a ghastly human washing machine, Washing all my clothes that I had worn the previous week which takes away the better part of the day. Aaargh! I have contacted a maid who was willing to take up the washing job shortly, So I’ll be having time to spend around with other activities like Programming and Music!
I am planning to take up guitar classes though I have to fully settle down here at Bangalore! It has always been my dream of being able to play the guitar, if not the likes of the greats, atleast something that is pleasing to the ear on rainy days. I learnt to play the trumpet and the cornet during my stint at my school’s music troupe. I’ll try to find some good maestro here!
Right now, I have to decide on the right career path that I’ll have to take to pursue my interests, and generalising that is something that I dread. I have to decide on what exactly I have to do in order to be where I belong.
Time can tell.
