a poke in the nose for all of us ajax-boosters. :-) but unlike the sceptical darkstorm, i continue to believe in web services based on these technologies. look at google mail and google maps and how popular they are.

also, the economist reported that technorati, the blog aggregator, showed bloggers searching for ajax, which the economist was foxed by: they asserted that it was the ajax amsterdam football team that was so popular :-) shows how even the omniscient 'economist' can goof up

good to hear that zimbra has an indian at the helm, although perhaps his name has been mis-spelled below. go, zimbra! show us an outlook-killer! :-)

Q  U  O  T  E  D

"I really thought that Ajax was just a bathroom cleaner."

-- Satish Dhamaraj, CEO of collaborative e-mail venture Zimbra, who can be pardoned his confusion considering that the remote-scripting technology of several years ago has only recently acquired the acronym-friendly, Web 2.0 buzzworthy name "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML."

KapiDhwaja,

When it comes to accurate flawless analysis of muslims,I am afraid ,commentators in jihadwatch.org are far more perceptive and incisive.There are no 'peaceful' muslims just as there are no 'peaceful evangelists'and 'peaceful marxists'.All Hindus are not angels BUT hindus never proselytize nor kill in the name of religion and "your God vs my God'.This is of vital imporatnce.Jews and Hindus alone have been the persecuted and they are the only non converting religions.

Vedha Vyasar had summed up the curse of this Kaliyugam during Mahabharatham War(which took place in the cusp of Dwapara Yugam and Kali).For all senseless violent creeds ,the quest is for anything but GOD!

Most of our columnists erupt sporadically with topical rage but none of them have the perspicacity of a,say,Naipaul or Varsha(Sandhya Jain and a few others)

San,

Apropos the link,where the writer a tad too cleverly talks about how the brits "liberated Hindus from muslim role(sic)facilitating us to rediscover our history and upholding the glory of Sanskrit to the born dunces,oops,the Hindus.....I had to laugh out loud like Pythagoras!

Imagine my christist neighbour barges into my house uninvited,prepares a tumbler of filter coffee for herself and poor me and runs away with all my stock of provisions (sarees,cosmetics,Pujaroom Murthis too).Would I sit and sing about the "compassionate neighbour but for who I would not have got a taste of Chennai filter kaapi!


By Lord Shiva's Grace,my brain is burnished by Panchatanthra, Mariyadhai Raman and Thenali Raman tales!!

Kalyani, who is Mariyadhai Raman? Is it Parashu Rama or Shri Rama?

mitra moron, go read some history of Tamil Nadu to find out about its contribution to the freedom struggle. Freedom struggle is not confined to Gandhi, Nehru alone. Every part of India had its fair share of freedom fighters, including Tamil Nadu with its TamBrams and other castes.

BTW, the Thevars of Tamil Nadu enrolled in a big way in Netaji's Indian National Army. A lot of them also were incarcerated in Kaala Pani in Andamans. Try expressing your hate of the Tamils in front of the Thevars. They would be happy to assist you in removing your silly moronic head from your body.

Why the fuck is anyone feeding this troll? The troll is not an authority on Tamils or anything Indian. He could be a expert on on pimping his wife at Marina beach or commie Vodkas. That he can discuss on his blog.

Anonymous,

Mariyadhai Raman was one spiritually inspired person who became a Judge,and delivered judgement in dicey cases (wiser than even King Solomon!).The stories were read by me when I was five years old in Thamizh and they are well etched in my mind even now.Credit goes to Mariyadhai Raman's brilliance!Do get hold of them.It must be a thin paperback only as the stories are not many.But they are a must read for bringing about clarity in thought and honing lateral thinking.They are simply precious.So are Panchatantra tales.And all our Puranams.First you buy Mariyadhai Raman stories. Successful application of His logic of course presupposes a well calibrated infrastructure of values in us.

If I could amplify a bit, the first judgement He delivers is as a young boy playing marbles in a street, for a distraught, poor, old lady who is conned by four thieves and dragged to the court.Armed with no degree and black coat, He solves the case......oh it is simply superb!

I am happy you asked about Him.

Yes,let us ignore mitra,the idiot.
