Sometimes technology can be frustrating. When I was trying to read some malayalam blogs, that’s exactly what happened. While some of the showed fonts automatically, some of them simply won’t show up, rather show me only the title in malayalam with garbled text on the browser (I’m on Firefox and Mac OS X). Doing some Googling, [...]

Just came across this thread today. A classic example for malayalam bloggers on content theft, what mistakes we do and how to deal with it (or rather not to). I have no inclinations to any of the parties in the picture and neither know either of them but, clearly this is a clear example of ignorance [...]

Just learned that there’s a total solar eclipse happening on August 1 of this year and it’s kinda dangerous! (That’s what Headlines Today told, but they hype things too much so…) Pic courtesy - Salagram The last time I remember there was an eclipse (don’t remember if it was lunar or solar) I was in college I [...]

A question many people are confused about. Right? Google AdSense seems to be the most popular “online monetization” tool available today on the Internet and for Indians…..we love AdSense! To be honest, my opinions on AdSense isn’t very comfy. It’s a fact that I use it on many of my blogs, and probably that’s the only reliable, [...]

I’m fascinated by the number of blogging enthusiasts available today in Kerala (Saw it here and numerous blogrolls)! From what I’ve seen so far, the quality of blogs from keralites (both in and outside kerala) are outstanding. As a matter of fact, out of all the blogs, almost all of them are “Natural bloggers” - They [...]

Shame, is it not? The TV9 reporter received the threating call from a number - 091118809 on his cellphone, giving indications of the possible bomb blasts in Kerala (News article). And I’m wondering why is it not possible to trace out the number? Speculations are that this is an internet telephone number, so could it be [...]

I just spotted some lovely posts from the blogosphere and could not resist linking to them. Am sure you’ll enjoy them.Santosh Kumar wrote a pretty hilarious post on buffaloes, yamraj, beef and all those threads within. Check it out. Arun T who’s blog I’ve followed to read on many up to date events writes a small [...]

Scary it is! Despite the lingering question on who could be behind it, I’m worried about the message it gives. Bangalore, the IT hub of India that contributes to more than 50% of it’s GDP, is being targeted by someone who does not like it. And the most scariest fact is that it’s a soft [...]

Kettuvallam is a house boat widely used in the Indian state of Kerala. These have thatched roof covers over wooden hulls.The traditional kettuvallam has emerged as the mascot of Kerala tourism. That’s the best the Wiki can do to explain what a “kettuvallam” is. To me, “kettuvallam” is a taste, an experience! On your way from Kaloor [...]
