I hate Mozilla for this reason

I work a lot with web applications when it comes to mozilla firefox i hate it as a developer for a simple reason. See the below pic, you can see the cursor or control in two places one in the title and another in the edit area of the textbox. It can make a developer look like a fool in front of testers

Bad things always comes in double for me

I would like to forget my last week. It was full of bad news and un-necessary tensions and fights. Sunday was ok with good work out, volleyball game and some nice time after that. Monday was our title match for Weston Hall volleyball league, It did not go well. Too much of confusion right from the start to end. We lost the game, the way we lost the game was more hurting. Rift in the team after that wasnt fun to deal with, lot of explanation and long discussions for 2 or 3 days to make up.
Nothing much went on Thursday but was a hectic day @work. Friday started pretty well with me being in high spirits from morning, left around 5.30 from work and got ready for my game of volleyball. I was happy with the way i was played out there, my setting was good and my drops were pretty good. In the 3rd set I went up for a block, i landed on my right ankle, i tripped and fell down in that instinct i landed on my right wrist. I knew at that moment i shouldnt have used my right hand for support when i landed. My wrist started swelling immediatley the worst part was i had volleyball tournmanet on sunday. I had tough time on saturday, i went to the doctor , took an xray thank god no broken bones only a sprain. Hope a better week likes ahead for me.

Dream come true

There is a beautiful, pleasant and scenic lake called Lake Scranton near my house. There is a trail around the lake for 3.5 miles a haven for fitness enthusiasts who run or walk around the lake. I started walking around the lake two summers before and use to always struggle to complete 3.5 miles. I use to see lot of people running around the lake and completing the entire stretch. I wondered then on whether I will be able to run like that. I don’t even remember of me running 100 or 200 meters in school or college. I was never a runner and never had a motivation to push myself so hard for running. The game what I chose to play (volleyball) also helped the cause, not much need for running, stand and play. I have been running for the past 1 year or so in the tread mill or in the track in YMCA just to shed the extra few (40-50) pounds that I gained after joining cognizant for work. I am still clueless on how I really gained so much weight; probably lot got to do with my moms cooking. Running helped me a lot to reduce the extra pounds, I feel lot fitter now. Yesterday my dream came true, I ran the entire stretch of Lake Scranton in 45 mins.

Repaying Affection

I had a very very long conversation with my family( parents & bro) today, later part of conversation turned nostalgic. My role model is my dad, he is a teetotaler and i have never seen him raising his voice against my mother, neither my mother. When i have kids, i would always love to be like him to them. I have never let my parents down. I have always made them proud of what I have done.I always thought i have been a good son to my parents but never a good brother. It starts from the time my little brother was born, i was 3 1/2 years old then. I remember till date, I cried by lying under the cot asking my parents to throw my little brother in garabage bin. I dint want share my undue affection what i was getting from my parents with my brother. I dont remember anyone explaining about the soon to be born little brother to me.

He has always shown un-due affection on me. If he gets a choclate( candy), he will bring it home without eating and share it with me. He was smart to ask for another choclate for me, if they have one more. I have always fought with him from small things to big things. People would laugh if they know that , i use to fight right from who gets the first dosa(rice pan cake) to who gets the big omlette. My mom was so smart that she use to make dosa in two pans at the same time, so that both are the first dosas :). My brother always liked to stay with me but i acted as if like i never like his company. During summer vacation time i use to stay in my cousins house for 10 days. My brother cannot stay away from my parents during his young age so my dad use to hide me under the bed or something and then take him home. He use to search all over my cousin's house and then leave with my dad dejected.
We always fight for TV remote but he was so nice to give it for me every time. I dont remember a single instance of him watching the channel what he wants when i am there :(. I was headstrong and arrogant during my childhood days but he was always caring and down to earth.

I remember him being so excited of my 10th, +2 results and when i was attending my job interview in cognizant. I dont think i have ever repayed the kind of affection what he has showered on me. Only time when i acted like a good brother for him was helping him out in chosing on what he wanted to study in college. I understand things better now( atleast i think so) and i realise that how good he was to me. Hope i repay that affection at some point of time in the life.

Best Political Satire Cartoon in Recent Times

I like looking at the CartoonScape section in the Hindu Newspaper. I have grown up seeing the cartoons of R.K Lakshman and Keshav. Below image is one of the best political satire, I have seen for a long time.

Getting into Playoffs

Me and my friends started playing in the Weston Hall Volleyball League in middle of the league, since the team lost some players. Now the league phase is over and we are getting into play offs. 2 of my team players are going to India for a vacation (one has already left and other is scheduled to leave over this weekend) hence we got to search for someone to play with us. Our volleyball team was on the roll for quite sometime in Weston hall. We won 3 matches continuously, and due to that we may have to play with a higher ranked team in the play offs. I am having my fingers crossed to see how we are really playing in the playoffs.

ATM Door getting jammed

I am not sure on how many of us got stuck inside the ATM with the door getting jammed. Once I had an experience similar to this, the security guard outside the ATM was able to get me out.
