Last year I wrote a very detailed post on Vinayaka Chavithi. This year all of us went to the Omaha Ganesha Temple. The crowd was not heavy, and the rituals not as grand as I thought it would be, which was a disappointment. A enthusiastic devotee shoved hymn copies of "Om Jai Jagdish" in Hindi. Most of the crowd knew the tune, but didnt know the lyrics, and generally hummed along [Clear indication of south indian crowd]. The said same lady, later on belted out "Gajana Nayutam" in carnatic style, which was good.

Just checked my email and was pleasantly surprised when i received a google alert from 13styles.com. I clicked on the URL and was wowed into noticing that my site got into the gallery for CSS menus. Yeah... Im especially pleased, as today is my wedding anniversary, and it made my day...:)

This morning I was thinking about how I blogged, and actually laughed when I realized, that I do not have any post on technical writing and it is my profession!! I then googled "technical writing blogs" to see how many people were out there who wrote on the art and craft of technical writing.. Picture Courtesy: Al Belote

Today is Independence Day for India. A pakistani flag is being flown in Kashmir, one day before our independence day and we exult in Abhinav Bindra's gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. One of my favorite blogger Krish Ashok- Doing Jalsa and showing Jilpa has rightly commented about the sportiveness of it all. He has rightfully focused on the marks obsessive education malaise that is at the root of most urban stagnance in India.
