The first few months were quite eventful.  There were (and still are) lots of occasions and incidents where I wanted to share my Chennai moments (if not the whole R2I  - 'Return to India'  experiences) here but I just couldn't. Well, that in a way also explains how fast and busy your days can be, here in Chennai.  I remember when Ted, a colleague of mine in the U.S office asked me after one of my Chennai visits, back then - "Don't you feel things are like  a slow-motion movie, here in the U.S, when you compared to Chennai?".  Very true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyways, I really wish to resume my blogging.

For javascript you would've probably have:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-style: italic;"&gt;application/javascript                          js&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So fix your httpd.conf to use the right mime-type that is set in apache's conf/mime.types file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, with the &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3829"&gt;LiveHeader plugin&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/5369"&gt;Yslow &lt;/a&gt;plugin, FireFox is a nice and easy way to check if mod_expires  (or &lt;a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html"&gt;mod_deflate&lt;/a&gt; for that matter) is in action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21325645-8280441090457499740?l=benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com/feeds/8280441090457499740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21325645&amp;postID=8280441090457499740&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21325645/posts/default/8280441090457499740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21325645/posts/default/8280441090457499740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com/2009/04/modexpires-gotcha.html' title='mod_expires gotcha'/><author><name>திரு</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13246670787041538400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21325645.post-9042817449423960812</id><published>2009-03-26T23:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-27T00:03:31.703-07:00</updated><title type='text'>கடைப்பார்வை</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;கண்ணின் கடைப்பார்வை காதலியர் காட்டிவிட்டால்&lt;br /&gt;மண்ணில் குமரர்க்கு மாமலையும் ஓர் கடுகாம்.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;                                                      &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;பாரதிதாசன்&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know you are smiling while reading this!

Series of &lt;a href="http://www.hindu.com/2006/07/12/stories/2006071211850100.htm"&gt;bomb blasts&lt;/a&gt; in local suburban trains during peak hours rocked the commercial city of India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hundreds of innocent people took the train as usual not knowing that today they themselves were inviting death. Few were lucky enough to survive with injuries. But the dreadful memories of nearing the death would persist in their minds forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who are the barbaric people behind such acts? What do they achieve in doing such brutal things? Do they sit and laugh and celebrate over their victory? Are they born with all hatred in their minds and brains? What pleasure do they derive in harming fellow humans. Did these innocent lives hurt them by any means? Let them know that their sins would punish them someday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand, when hundreds are grieving the death of their loved ones and praying for the well being of seriously injured, on the other hand our &lt;a href="http://indiaenews.com/2006-07/14482-advani-blames-governments-lenient-policy-blasts.htm"&gt;politicians&lt;/a&gt; ignite the enragement by criticizing &lt;a href="http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/000200607112201.htm"&gt;opposite parties&lt;/a&gt;.They are opportunistic and never bother to look around for solutions. Except the politicians, nobody cares whether the organization behind such inhuman acts consists of Hindus or Muslims or the hand of opposite political party. All we care is punish whoever is against the survival of human race.&lt;br /&gt;There were several Muslims and Hindus who were wounded in the blasts; they hardly knew the religion of the person who saved them. So never blame a religion/caste/community/nationality for what happened on this black Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amidst such chaotic situation Mumbai is resilient again. She stands tall and keeps her Wheels turning. Well she has to, for she has given lives to thousands of rich, poor and stranded.&lt;br /&gt;Kudos to Mumbaikars who did a great job in the rescue operations and saved uknown lives!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21325645-115274981299117057?l=benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com/feeds/115274981299117057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21325645&amp;postID=115274981299117057&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21325645/posts/default/115274981299117057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21325645/posts/default/115274981299117057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benchperiyasamy.blogspot.com/2006/07/711-mumbai-blasts.html' title='7/11 – Mumbai Blasts'/><author><name>திரு</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13246670787041538400</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21325645.post-115091131903542716</id><published>2006-06-21T10:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-06-21T10:46:53.343-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Laptop on fire</title><content type='html'>I've been thinking of the possibility of laptops and computers exploding in the middle of your work but not heard of any such incidents and was feeling safe (!!?) thus far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone from Japan &lt;a href="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=32550"&gt;reporting (with pictures) &lt;/a&gt;a (dell) laptop exploding in a conference, today.

"....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cambrianventures.com/team/anand_rajaraman.html"&gt;Anand Rajaraman&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.cambrianventures.com/team/venky_harinarayan.html"&gt;Venky Harinarayan&lt;/a&gt; are launching their ambitious start up &lt;a href="http://www.kosmix.com/"&gt;Kosmix &lt;/a&gt;to compete with &lt;a href="http://www.google.com"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike Google, Kosmix would narrow the search by category. Rather than simply entering the ‘key word’ in the search box and getting some unrelated results, user can select appropriate category or topic of the search along with the keyword and get almost closer and relevant results. Read more about Kosmix and its founders &lt;a href="http://www.siliconbeat.com/entries/2006/01/27/kosmix_raises_cash_for_a_new_search_engine_to_compete_with_google.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And about &lt;a href="http://www.paritrana.org/index.htm"&gt;Paritrana&lt;/a&gt;..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a new Indian political party started by five IITians, all in their 20’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firt thing first. I’m impressed by the party's &lt;a href="http://www.paritrana.org/ideology.htm"&gt;ideology&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;“Responsibility is proportional to abilities. Those with superior abilities naturally bear more responsibility and should come forward to change the pitiful condition that the nation is facing. Everyone must do what one should.” &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was trying to find more info about this party and their founders.. and was amazed that there have been lots of discussions on this topic in the blogworld already. There is an &lt;a href="http://www.arthshastra.com/archive/paritrana-getting-to-know-a-little-bit-more"&gt;interview with Paritrana founders &lt;/a&gt;too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sounds very impressive and they seem to be on the right direction too..
