IE does it again!

Microsoft's Internet Explorer, the most used web browser in the world, proves once again that it is such a messy piece of software compared to other free software alternatives such as Mozilla.

See here to know what I meant.

In the news, Microsoft has given a lot of suggestions to avoid getting affected by the security bug.

My question to MS: Haven't you missed the most important suggestion?

(Delete MS Windows and install GNU/Linux!, or at the least install Firefox)

Human lives : The value, as seen by the media.

Number of people shot dead by the Pakistani lunatics at Mumbai CST: 58
At Oberoi: 33
At Taj: 32
At Leopold: 10
At Nariman House: 8


Media attention on the tragedy, stories of anxiety and pain of victims and survivors: in the reverse order.

Probable reason: People at CST were ordinary citizens, poor, and common men - the least valuable lives in India.

People at Nariman House: The most valuable human lives: Jews, white men/women.
People at Taj, Oberoi, and Leopold: Tourists, foreigners, Rich business men, MPs, etc.
The next most valuable lives in India.

To the international community: When will you count each human life terminated with such atrocities with equal grief and pain? Irrespective of religion, race, color of skin, nationality and stature in society?

Desparate guys, you've lost your dreams!

In a way, I feel sympathetic to those cowardly terrorists, who could not control their despair against Indian democracy. That their founders are cowardly enough is evident by the fact that they have created a mask organization in the name of social service. It is reported in many news sites that they have received quake relief aid from Indian donors too (including non-Muslims) during the devastating earth quakes that shook Pakistan recently. Their literature spews venom and hatred against India and Hinduism. But that, it seems to be not a deterrent for the Indian aid. Their web sites are full of articles to prove that India is a failed country, it reports only crimes happening in India. Let's forget for a moment that Pakistan is a failed country. It is a gross mistake to say that all Indians are filled with hatred towards the Islam, just as it is wrong to label all Pakistanis/Muslims as terrorists. The hatred is only matched here in the home, by the Hindu extremists. For every terror attack in India, the Indian Muslim is becoming more and more vulnerable to the consolidation of Hindu extremism. I am shocked to see some comments in the web, which are speaking about a civil war in India- perfectly what the India-haters want from us. While sensible analyses are not so rare in Indian media on the issue of terrorism, their counterparts in Pakistan seems to ignore the facts. When they tell the Indian media to question their Government, they forget very conveniently that they can't even do that in Pakistan's environment. At least India has a functioning democracy, where more or less balance is still present with as many conflicting interests playing together relentlessly. What about Pakistan? Can they dream of such a dynamism in the near future? India has its problems, with rising inequalities, crime, separatism and internal conflicts. But all of these, in my opinion may not weigh as much as what Pakistan, or for that matter any other country in the world, is suffering from, given the size of India's population.

It is an unrealistic, and impossible dream that these guys are chasing around. And that 'dream' is, to destroy India! Well, India is quite a miracle, which has survived many onslaughts in its history. It will indeed survive any more, from the ultra terrorism from outside and inside, irrespective of whether it is from Hindus, Muslims, or any thing else.

So, better be wise, learn your religion well, and realise that the battle that you are engaged in is a futile one, and that the real battle you've to fight is within you.

Is god a fool?

If there is god, in which/whom the terrorists also supposedly believe, he/she/it cannot be a foolish entity. Or is it? Otherwise, what these cowards are going to get by killing people and themselves? A heaven which they believe they'll get after death? That's nonsense. At least, to me.

The world requires more mental hospitals, not temples, churches and mosques.

Bush plans to start "Freedom"Institute!

This is today's joke. How insulting to the children of Iraq and hundred other places!

Question: When will be Israel be declared officially as a Rogue state? (Provocation: this).
