SAFARI : browser
Hey just 30 mins has passed, and I am fallen in love with this browser. Its stunning. My previous best was Opera but it lacked some crucial features.
But Safari has it all..
Its fast and stable. Looks great and easy to use.. and it has just ventured in the browser market.. Looks a worthy competitor to me.
Lets see how far it goes !
Everyone should give it a try.

We need to think ...
Last few weeks have been turbulent in Maharashtra. A new wave of regionalism is being carved in the already divided country. When will the common man understand things like this ?
Already divided coutry ? you know why... because
* We fight over cast
* We fight over religion
* We fight over status
* We fight over how one should live or not live
* We fight on some things as silly as one can imagine.
But still we manage to stay together is because we still have some hope left. We have few people who understand how dangerous it can get.
Just imagine.. today we are fighting on the basis of STATE, what is the gurantee that you won't fight for your DISTT.. your CITY.. tomorrow. Looks impossible right.. mind it few years back even division on the basis of STATE looked so.
We do have regionalism problems in some states, but I never ever realised it will take to this level.
Ya its right that local people shouldn't be compromised, I also stand by that argument. But the way it was carried out had left a deep scar. How long it will take to heal is difficult to prdict, and will it ever be the same as before ?? We still remember what BABRI MASJID, GODHRA, GUJRAT, and other incidents has done to our society.
The feeling of NOT WANTED is such that you get to think in a wrong way, get to act in a wrong way...and this is what I fear the most for my beloved country.
Yes few states today are ahead in development and people from other parts come in thousands..so what should they do.. should they leave their family unfed ? such is the pain of being poor and helpless, we can hardly think of..let alone doing something for them.
I have deep love for Maharashtra, I have lived here for the most part of my life. Whenever I go back, I give examples of its development, law and order, etc compared to other states.. But these comparisons were meant to be healthy.. never to show you are inferiour or I am superior...
Politicians of other states instead of making inflammatory comments should go back and look at what they have done. They are the reasons why people keep coming for jobs. Instead of working for the development, they choose to incite public passion.
In cricket we always had most of the players from Mumbai, Karnataka...what if we start to have players from all over the country based on regions and not merit ? Will our team be the same ? Let alone a great team, will we be able to play together..and what will be the result ? its anyone's guess...
Give me a sigle example where you can achieve 100% localization.. Building plants involve machinary from outside countries, we even share technology for tasks like building bridges, power plants, even agriculture, etc.. Our country has generated lakhs of jobs in IT, because of other coutries.. Should we say a big NO to all this ? And what will we achieve then ? If we just want to talk about REGIONALISM, where will it take us ?
Today we don't want people from other states.. ohh sorry from states like UP and Bihar.. People from other states need not worry..Right ? Totally wrong.. Will there not be voices against the remaining ones later .. there will be...because how are you going to draw a line.. ? "Divide and Rule" bares none.
Almost everyone goes to place of worship, how can we face GOD if we do so wrong.. or are we behaving like GOD ?
Ours is a country full of GODMEN, some preache YOGA..some there other styles..no one is worried about whats going on in the coutry.. What kind of worshippers they are and are they worthy of that ?
Why do we again and again say law is same for one and all. 99% of the time it isn't. Its a big mockery. Why don't we change the constituion which says it will be differnt for politicians, different for rich peoples, differnt for musclemens.. and all the laws will be applied to helpless..
Let people live in peace, they already have enough worries to take care of. And let us stay united, because then only we will be able to take INDIA to the next level.

Great Indian Postal Service
Nowadays we hardly use services provided by our postal department. Private couriers have replaced them in most parts, and they do offer quick service. But one thing I must praise them for.. they deliver letters, etc with utmost accuracy with minimum of details.. you may say that many times they don't deliver, you may be right, I won't argue on this :-)
Here is one incident of mine
Can a letter reach with just a CORRECT NAME and PLACE.. yes just the two of them... QUARTER NUMBER was wrong, Distt was wrong...even PINCODE was wrong.. but yes the postal department did deliver it.. I have few more incidents where it wasn't just possible to deliver...but how they manage to do that.. only they know :-)
I haven't seen any private couriers delivering with so many wrong details.. I greatly acknowledge this remarkable quality... hats off to Indian Postal Service :-)

phir bhi dil hai hindustani...
you must have noticed this.. :-)
When our great middle class travel by plane they won't remove their airline sticker. If not always, atleast for few days... some thing will be there which will highlight their PLANE travel :-)
