Being Undan

This one event made my Onam worth the trip. All of these people are my good friends and the first batch of my tuition classes. They all became successful in their lives. I can now proudly say that they are now in Indian Railways, Kerala State Electricity Board etc.. some of them made it into Politics and their own businesses. From the left, Anoop, Girish, Jayan,Binoop, Me, Anjith, Praveen, Vijeesh, Bijesh. Only Dixon and Shanoop failed to show up.

I was very glad to see that they all came to my home upon a very short notice.. ( called them just 1 day before ). We had lunch together and spent an afternoon talking about old times and how our lives progressed.

Just can’t express the happiness I had. It is one of those moments I felt that I did something worth living in this world. Thanks a lot for your care and friendship.

Installed latest Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. For those who don’t know, Ubuntu is a Linux Operating System just like Windows or more than that.

Check out the features of this new version here : http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features

In my experience, installation took approximately 20 minutes, asking only 7 very basic questions to me. It includes a few great enhancements to enrich your computer experience.

• Wireless configuration was a breeze. It found my home wireless automatically and prompted for password. That’s all. I am online withing a few seconds.
  


• Software Center application provides access to 32000+ free/open source applications that are ready to be downloaded and installed with a single click. Yes, a single click is all you need.
  


• It contains an update manager that could update all my software including the Operating System with one click. I do not have to keep on downloading security updates, firefox, openoffice or chrome seperately. this cute little application lists all updates in one place where I can click “Update” and it does the rest.

You do not need to partition or install the software to see how it looks. You can experience the Ubuntu magic just by booting from the CD. Try it, and if you like it, join the revolution.

After a long long time, google decided to put the white background to a change.. I just noticed that there is small link on the left bottom corner of the screen which allows me to set my own background image for the entire search screen… kinda like bing search, but i liked the change.

Another grand festival comes to an end. While I am going to miss most of the Poorams this year, I enjoyed this one a lot. We prepare some cool sambharam (buttermilk) at my sister’s place to serve (free) the thirsty people which was much appreciated.

After a long long time, I met Bindhu chechi and Shinoj Chettan. We were discussing about this reunion for quite a long time. We could not make to Ahmedabad and we also missed so many occasions… long story short, they came to my house last weekend. Here’s some pictures…
