Exactly 5 months after..

5 months have gone by since my last post. India left the shores of Australia with their heads held high. But then Bhajji has let himself down with slap-gate row. Hopefully he will return as a better man, and as a better sportsperson. The IPL has changed the way domestic cricket will operate.. for better or for worse? well thats something we need to wait and watch.

My personal life was going through a lots of ups and downs during these 5 months. Difficult to summarize them in the scope of a single post.. may be sometimes in future I will be flashing back on them.

The main reason for me staying away from blogging in the last 5 months was that during these period I was regularly going home at 10pm. Staying in office and writing a blog was well.. not such a exciting thing for me to do. Last week I got myself a wireless net connection. Weekends were getting more and more boring.. I thought that I may be busy with some good ol' net surfing :) In any case I have not been making new friends for a while now!

So, you can say that restart of blogging is a side effect of me taking a net connection at home. Hopefully I will be able to post somethings on a weekly basis at the worst.

The RSS thing is pretty cool isn't it? And so is the Safari browser!! Wow man.. look what Apple is doing to the personal desktop world. If I buy a computer (desktop) again it will definitely be a Mac. Safari is visibly faster than IE while opening pages, has some fundooh graphics/animations, the inbuilt RSS reader R.O.C.K.S, allows you to resize the text boxes and well, it has in-built spell checker, too! It doesn't get any better than this. One nagging issue is the absence of a few plug-ins that you have grown used to with IE, like the flash player plug-in. The safari page at Apple.com has the reqd sw.

So using a Safari actually 'inspired' me to have a rss link burned for my blogs :) That just added a fuel to this 'restart of blogging' thing :) Gave a lil 'make-over' to the look-and-feel part of it also.

On final thoughts, I am also giving a makeover to my Orkut, Picasa and Linked-In profiles :) As they say, when it rains, it pours!!
