just one more word...tiger asks IS IT? to my statement that firefox surprised the world. And I had to tell him that it was the popularity that came out of the blue.
I remember the day, when I first downloaded the FireBird browser those were the early days for firefox and it was when the development was not too much. Those days there was only one more predecissor for firefox which was called Phoenix. Am talking about the time some later months of 2003. That was the first time I was using firebird on a 533 mhz pentium celeron machine with 64 mb ram. I still remember what drove my decision to try the firebird, I didn't have enough resources on my machine to run mozilla. And firebird kept its promises.
Since that time I have been using the same browser and the only remarkable major difference in the true business was when forbes magazine acknowledged the browser as competitor to IE.
I didn't mind using the browser at that time because I was already half geek working around linux boxes and trying to hack them..jus learning how things work. I shall acknowledge that I never bothered to look into the source code because I was not a C/C++ guy but yes, I always appreciated and introduced a lot of people to the browser.
I may not be directly invloved with the development, I may not be contributing directly, but I am always in favour of an open source software and with the coming of firefox a lot of rulez have been changed. We are seeing a transition where by an open source software for the non-geeks or as the developer Ross says aptly for my mom and dad is available and this marks an open war for the people who swear with the risings walls of Bill Gate's empire.
Hail Open Source! Hail FireFox! Hail Mplayer!
Hail the Community!!
"Together we can and we shall make the difference"
And never forget what world of mouth can do...support firefox.

still answred questions!!
Looking up ..looking down..spending time..trying to sort questions that have always questioned my existence ..when will i know the answers ..where to find those...how long can i live without knowing them...alls well when I don't look up to them but then the moment u talk about it , share or try to talk about them, when i talk about me!!...am lost..lost in a translation...I DON'T KNOW ME!!....strange, sad but true..i don't even know when will I get the answers...
It all strated with a discussion which I never wanted to trigger. But when u talk to people with whom you feel at home, you loose control, u let yourself out..and same happened with me yesterday when i was chatting with shobhna. I didn't realise what I was talkign about and when did we start discussing..initially it started from a song by Anathema- Are you there?...never thought it would last something more than discussing the songs. I never wanted it to. But them some how the bird with in knew that that accidently the cage has been set open by some visitor who triggered a chain reaction and now its been more than some 24 hours and am still into it..struggling to get in or to get back out.like a small child left alone in a big carnival amongst alines.. .getting lost. I tried talking...i talked about knowing me..and yet again realized that this ain't me.
The easiest thing for me is to talk about "me" and to question and then try to answer..thats kinda attitude, a favourite past time. Shobhna jus stirred it, she didn't do it intentionally and I don't even regret that she did it, or what happened after it. This one thing has been with me since eternity, I was born with this curse and then whenever it wanted to let me free I just opted to cling to it. Because I just can't imagine living without what am so used to. Am addicted to this..i tried hard to get it going, i tried to work out the way people wanted me to and guess what, am a few meters short of living a balance life with all these turbulence inside....i would bet if someone really knows me inside out and I know even i would loose . I don't know is it something to celebrate about my life or somethign to mourn, or something which would make the society suggest me some corrective actions..or may be put some sanctions.
The same basic question still haunts me, watever answers i try to come up with still leave me unsatisfied. I want more, am I insatiable or this is what the curse is. Nothing can hold me for long, nothing appeals to me at times and nothing not even me can convince me....I don't know this is normal or abnormal but whatever is it I know this is an inseprable part of my existence.
Coming to Singapore, gave me a break and I tried what I have read for most people in the world. Getting involved in work to the extent that you loose yourself. I tried this, I tried this all and it works fine but for a soul who is as disturbed as me..just as expected it failed to work wonders..Somebody some years back told me THIS TOO SHALL PASS and all good and bad (should i tag them so i wonder again.) or all things in my life happily have adhered to this law of nature...and my involvement with work proved out to be yet another on nite stand. And its wearing me down, it's turning me down..and i don't know what to do!! on this tuesday morning in office am blogging beacuse I don't know where to go and what to do!!
I have come back to where i started this journey and am back on the island where i started my journey. Am back in the territory I know, I have strated fearing my self again. Am just being me once again. And I know this is happening..am just a silent observes watching it happen.

I have never done this publically am doing this now!!
hi guys am sharing something with u !
i went to a ladies bar yesterday with a couple of colleagues ..all
from the office..decided to go one which was really very good...i was
already two beers down when i walked in
in my head i was open caryying cash if i like some babe ..there were
so many babes..the moment u walk in they escort u to u r tables...the
moment I sat ..one of them stand leaning to me..wat a babe..i will
tell u she had beautiful hairs and skin like none could imagine...n we
ordered more beers...
she was like being a short term ..
all she wanted was to buy her drinks....n all my friends were ready
buying drink for the babes....yaar mein dumb nikala yaar..when she
was trying to seduce me i was smoking..like a chimney and touching
the fire tip really i tried hard not to let into her arms....guys it
was the experince i had never seen any before who didn't mind being
fondled...people were really fondling breasts exploring the
bodies...it was strange for me
bhaiya aap nachiye
pasand aaye to le jaayee bhaiya ...
lekin i was shocked to know mere bas ka woh sab nahi hai :-(
n mujhe lagta tha mein aisa nahi hun
sach bolu to lagta hai dubara joon lekin mein dar gaya tha....
tthis was something i could never imagine
boss baat karne mein aur kisi anjaan bandi ke saath kuch karne mein
bahut antar hota hai
han ek cheez achhi bhi huyi bas poori rat mein
singapore ke ek downtown pub ka singer gana aaya hindi...kuch kuch
hota hai n i joined him :D that was the best part of the singapore....
magar kabhi mujhe lagta hai ki meine kuch kyon nahi kiya
was i trying to prove that am not there for sex....what was idiotic to
do sala y the hell wud ne one blow up so much money for nothing
magar am still confused...ki mein kuch kyon nahi kar paaya
yaar mera man tha mein ek baar kam se kam ek baar to kise ko touch karun kisi ke saath aish karu..magar boss mein kuch nahi kar

GONG XI FA CAI
hey it was chinki :-P chinese new year...otherwise also known as the Lunar new year..
and pretty strange the whole of the singapore looked desserted while the chinkis stayed inside the'r abodes..cooking (am mentioning this as these people like to eat out n it requires a celebration to cook at home)...n this is the year of the ROOSTER as they say..so i guess we are going to eat rooster and only rooster all this year..:D
it was a holiday break for us..starting from the new year eve...that was two dayz back..what a gala treat my boss's offered..jalebi's n pakora's in Singapore...thats what u call luxary man!!
N then we headed for chinatown to take a glimpse of the celebrations...to our disappointment the place was crowded as hell n the fireworks were supposed to startt at midnight n we were looking at the sky at eight..:-P that was really great somebody also pointed to us a place where u can catch the glimpse of the fireworks n we were standing there and gazing at the sky....at 8 pm four hours before the show..
Left china town to head for Little India..mustafa for the rice..with shoaib n ankits...then from there headed for INVINIANS the indian food was calling..that was some good indian food..i liked it ..then we decided to head for BEDOK...to watch a hindi movie..yes a hindi movie in Singapore..BLACK was a good movie to spend time !! though I think i would not had njoyed it so much had it been India, but this gives u a mental satisfaction here in singapore that u are closer to home...
n then next came the SENTOSA party..yes yet again we headed for SENTOSA...for the first day of the new year....it was a great day..i never knew beach volleyball was fun..cycling was a nigtemare.
THe best thing was the CARLSBERG VIEWING TOWER worth spending 20 dollars upon...the sea n singapore looked really good from up above 131 metres above sea level the highest viewing tower in asia they said....
n the one thing that I didn't mentions till now and which was the center of all the fun..was the home cooked food..yes everybody has brought food from the homes...and it was all fundoo mouth watering food...rajma..pea-pulao,gobi korma,lemon rice, fried chicken,chicken curry....so much to eat!!
Came back home at 2:30 am ...do u want nething else to mark the new year...sleeping on the beach!! ...i think this was really a happy new year!!

For the full experience am pasting the lyrics here
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now

If I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Bye-bye babe, it's been sweet, love
'Though this feeling I can't change
But please don't take this so badly
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame
But if I stay here with you girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
Oh, and the bird you cannot change
And this bird you cannot change
Lord knows I can't change
Lord help me I can't change
Oh No, I can't change
and the song if u wanna listen to is here
Wonderful experinece...and for those who don't know this band started as a rock band and is considered to be ledgendry....rock band..though it moved to country later.
