A few realizations:
- A bug ignored now, will remember to trouble you later.
- A dirty fix of this day, will vouch for a certain embarrassment on the other day.
- A fix in time, saves your 9pm.
- 80% of bugs are solvable. While the rest can be concealed.
- Engineering team thrives on bugs. Marketing thrives on fixes.
- A bug with no fix is no more a bug; Its a limitation.
- A bug in the fix is a recurring problem, for which there is no fix.
PS: Lets get things going. Btw, thrattle gets a new look & now served with WP v2.5.

Q: What’ll be the weight of a Black Hole?
A: It might be “light” as it swallows that too. (Btw, in space its all mass & no weights.)
Q: Isn’t that we gain mass with weights? I overheard my Gym teacher telling this to someone.
A: This is true with a physical trainer but not with a physics teacher.
Q: Masculine is so pretty, grandeur & attractive in the animal kingdom. Among humans its totally opposite. Why is that?
A: Firstly, we don’t want to be like animals. Secondly, we needed reasons to celebrate & honor womanhood with things like International Women’s Day. (I guess you are a guy, so am I.)
Q: If electricity is flow of electrons & if every electron has a mass, when I charge by battery would its weight increase by some infinitesimal amount? Atleast in theory?
A: Going by what you think, looks like all generators would become weak & lean in the course of time. The answer is a no. The electrons in your battery are separated with the electricity from your mains. And the weight, mass, charge or what ever of the total system remains constant.
Q: Why is that there is no Polar Bear in Antartica?
A: Because by the time they try to cross the Equator, they would be burnt to death. Same applies to Penguins. (Btw, correct the spelling. Its Antarctica!).

I saw The Darjeeling Limited last week. Its a story about 3 American guys, infact brothers, touring the Himalayan part of India in a train, to re-invent the lost brotherhood & to discover the spiritual part in themselves. The film is filled with subtle wits & great camera angles, like in a 1st person shooter game. Nice watch; never miss it. To start with, read the reviews of the movie & then go ahead. I didn’t do this thou’. So suffered to get the essence of the whole movie.
While watching it, was wondering whether that kinda train really exists. Its a luxury train, with the interiors reminding the Great Rajputs of India & their palaces to be on the rails. Thought that the Americans really faked such a train & fooled their country men. But seems, it isn’t the case.
Karnataka’s Tourism Ministry has launched such a train by name The Golden Chariot. It connects Bangalore & Goa in a duration of 8 days & 7 nights with several stoppies at numerous heritage sites. The men behind the train say that its a ***** hotel without a swimming pool & including a spa. The tour costs about 2500 USD per couple making only the Ritche Riches from the country & abroad to aboard.
Welcome to the New India. :)

Avant Window Navigator is a super cool dock for Linux, mimicking Mac OSx styling. I love such eyecandy.

Haven’t installed it for so long, just for 1 reason. All the screenshots I saw earlier had an non-antialiased Firefox icon. Looked so dirty. However, there is a way to change the icon; recognizes even a SVG file. Try it out. Pretty & neat.
