Mozilla is launching its web browser Firefox 3 on June 17 2008. They also planned for a creating a world record for the most downloaded software in a single day. The day coincides with Microsoft Day and Mozilla is all set to ruin the day for Microsoft.
By the way, I forgot to say that Mozilla Firefox is far better than Microsoft Internet Explorer in many ways. So any one interested to download can visit Mozilla Firefox Download Page

Balancing Work and Other things..
Every one of us in this world are different from each other. We make different and take different from life. But we all are having one thing in common. That is 24 hours a day. Yet, almost all of us feel that others are enjoying more time than us as we don't know how to manage our time properly.
The tool below will probably help most of us in managing our time properly.

Mumbai Monsoon
After a long and energy sapping summer, first rain poured from the heavens on 5th of june in Mumbai. I rushed out of home and roamed around on foot to enjoy the first rains. A hot chai,bhajia and surprisingly ice cream were on the menu that day and they were very much enjoyable in the scenario.
As this is my first monsoon in Mumbai, I took the rain so lightly. Today (12th June) is seventh day and it is still raining. No sun all these days and I already feel so depressed with the environment. Hopefully the sun comes out fast and shine all the day. But, friends say that this is only a HOPE for next 3 months at least...
Going out to office drenched in rain and waiting a long time for getting an auto rickshaw is very tiring experience, believe me.

Presidential Pose
One picture talks a million words.
President Pratibha Patil poses with an AK-47 that is recovered from the militants in Jammu & Kashmir. She clearly forgot that she is the first person of the nation and her actions will draw a huge attention from all parts of the world. It seems she is enjoying the company of the killing machine as she is all smiles with the gun in her hands.
Hope a day will come soon that our politicians learn how to behave at least when the world is watching them...

Too good of a comparison...

Roses and their Significance..
Today, one of my friend asked me to send some roses to one of his friends as he is cut off from the world(INTERNET). Just before I sent them, he asked me to send Orchids instead of roses. I did the job and was amused why he didn't order roses. Did some research and found some amazing things about roses....
Roses and numbers
Every denomination of roses serves a unique meaning in itself. So if you are seeking to send roses with a message in mind, this list should help you make a decision:
1 Rose - Love at first sight; you are the one
2 Roses - Mutual feelings, especially if they are red in color speak of two people who are deeply in love and together form their own happy little world.
3 Roses - I love you
5 Roses - I love you very much
6 Roses - I love you & I miss you.
7 Roses - I'm infatuated with you
9 Roses - Together as long as we live
10 Roses - You are pretty
11 Roses - You're my treasured one. ( To assure someone that he or she is truly and deeply loved. )
12 Roses - There are a dozen ways I care about you
18 Roses - I am sorry
24 Roses - Can't stop thinking of you - 24 hours a day
36 Roses - A romantic attachment unlike any other
48 Roses - An unchanging and unconditional love
99 Roses - I will love you for as long as I live
100 Roses - Devoted to you until we are at a ripe-old age
108 Roses - Please Marry Me!
999 Roses - Everlasting and eternal love
Roses and colors
Here's a brief mention about the significance of rose colors and combinations:
Red: An expression of love; a symbol of courage and respect.
Dark Red: Deep passion, Readiness for a commitment, Unconscious beauty.
Light Pink: Gentleness, Joy & Grace, Admiration, Sympathy & Gentleness, Harmony & Warmth.

The real Terrorism..
Hyderabad has become the target of the International terrorists recently (Saturday, 25th August'07). There were a serial bomb blasts at the Lumbini Park and the famous "Gokul Chat" in Kothi. Also a series of bombs are diffused at various locations in the city by the police.
The point is what does one (terrorist) want to prove by claiming innocent lives. I must say that this is an act of cowardice. Only a barbarian can do such hideous tasks. But, why does in the name of heavens does political parties give this incident a different color altogether???
The opposition says that the "Congress government" failed miserably in protecting the city. BJP called for a bandh on Monday. These kind of reactions will give an undue advantage and a mental victory to those faceless terrorists. When will people understand that we have to be united in such situations to emerge victorious!!
The real terrorists are the politicians that we elect to rule us. Irony is everyone agrees with this statement, but do not work towards improving the system!!!
Yet, India is the largest democracy with a rich heritage.
Please don't make a political drama out of such incidents.

Adolf Hitler
"Adolf Hitler" was dead on this very day some sixty two years back. Yet, his presence is felt almost in every corner of the world today. What he has shown the world is the culmination of evil.
There were many people in the past who dreamt of ruling the world prior to Hitler. But they all lacked in some or the other point. Hitler struck the right chords by hitting the nail exactly. He used his oratory skills and created a confidence in the general German public. His main weapon was the "Supremacy of a particular race". Any human being in this world is prone to these weaknesses. Aryans were no different people.
Hitler rose from a tramp to the Supreme of Germany making his voice and talkative skills as the ultimate tools. I would say, Hitler would have become the personality of the century, if he used these skills for the development of the mankind. But, as they say, past is past.
I sincerely hope that this is the only day in modern day history which is marked as a festival which commemorates the death of someone...
May his soul rest in peace.

Teleportation
Hi all...
Have you ever wanted to be at a different place in the very next moment!!
Ever wanted to know how Gods in mythology traveled at the speed of thought!!
In today's world of science, every question is being answered whether we believe them or not. And biggest irony was that we all studied these concepts before we specialized in computers or management.
Does anyone remember the famous formula from Einstein, "E=m*c*c"(Read E equals to m c square). where E stands for Energy, m for mass and c is the speed of light.
According to simple science, Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.
So, what happens if the mass is converted to light energy and beamed to a different location at the speed of light and there again converted back to mass??
Viola!! the mass disappeared here and appeared there!! This will take only a fraction of second. because the speed of light is, again as we all studied ages back, some 3 lac kms/second.
So, theoretically, we can disappear here and appear before our loved ones in the United States, in 1/8 th of a second.
And practically, our scientists, recently (On October 4th 2006) successfully teleported atoms. The link for that NEWS is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3811785.stm
Hope, a day will come when this world is really a small place to live in.

Champions..
Why do we sometimes feel dizzy about life?
I asked many a times this question to myself...finding no convincing answer.
Of late I started a task hoping that it would benefit me in both my personal and professional life. A job which needs time and money and which returns glory and fame. But, in a cinematic way, I am not getting enough response from others as they are not aware of the "glory" they are gonna reap or they have no value for such feeling in life.
This is making me think that "You are not a person with what you do..You are one with what others do"... I feel like the work we do is more dependent on others than us primarily.
If you observe enough, there is no single successful person in this world. Always, there are doubles. A winner and his/her mentor or guide or friend or philosopher or .......
Examples..
Narayanamurthy (Infosys) backed up by Sudha Murthy, his wife.
Lord Krishna by guiding Arjuna.
Jesus was baptized by John, the Baptist.
DJ,Pandey,Karan,Sukhi and Aslam energised each other.
Considering above I say,
Champions are made by mere fooling around Champions.
Signing off in a hope to get out in search of my champion mate..
