Firefox3.0 not in Hindi
Have heard about latest buzz of firefox3.o? I too went there and found new browser given in all the languages except hindi. Too my utter surprise even firefox Punjabi version and Gujarati version is launched but no hindi. I feel highly disappointed not to see our language over there.
we are responsible for the same. Probably We are the only race in the world who look down upon its own language, values and symbols. Lets see what more is in the offing for us.

Hey! You can shine your shoes with Banana Peel
Do you know? you can clean your shoes with inside layer of Banana Peel and it really works. Don't forget to rub it off with a piece of cloths afterwards else flies will be around your shoes. though I haven't tried yet but I will post my experience. Its a new buzz among several tips to save the planet. Think! it will save the wax we use at home to clean our shoes and wax is made from petroleum products. And we all know how petroleum consumption and prices are increasing every passing day. he he and what about show polish industry?? going bananas.....ha ha ha .

A good quote to remember

What great Thomas Malthus did to India....millions got dead in famine during 1860 period
The English political economist and demographer the Reverend Dr Thomas Robert Malthus FRS lived from 13 February 1766 to 23 December 1834).[1] He expressed views on population growth and noted the potential for populations to increase rapidly.
Modern commentators generally refer to him as Thomas Malthus, but during his lifetime he went by his middle name, Robert.
Malthus's position as professor at the British East India Company training college, which he held until his death in 1834, gave his theories considerable influence over Britain's administration of India through most of the 19th century, continuing even under the Raj after the Company's dissolution in 1858. In a major result of this influence, the official response to India's periodic famines (which had occurred every decade or two for centuries) became one of not entirely benign neglect: the authorities regarded the famines as necessary to keep the "excess" population in check. In some cases administrators even banned private efforts to transport food into famine-stricken areas. However, this "Malthusian" policy did not take account of the enormous economic damage done by such famines through loss of human capital, collapse of credit structures and financial institutions, and the destruction of physical capital (especially in the form of livestock), social infrastructure and commercial relationships. As a (presumably unintended) consequence, production often did not recover to pre-famine levels in the affected areas for a decade or more after each disaster, well after the replacement of the lost population.
