Free Software : The current fashion in Kerala
,----[ Quote ]
| Kerala is abuzz with free software mantra after the present Government of
| Kerala formally endorsed free software as one of its natural allies. Lot of
| common people are showing interest in free software and its bi-products such
| as copy left books , wikipedia etc. As a long time user of free software, I
| am pretty amused at the current hype.

RMS visit to Bangalore
,----[ Quote ]
| Friday I left my office as soon as my friend Renukaprasad told me to pick RMS
| from an auditorium near Reserve Bank of India, where he was listening to a
| live concert. I took an auto and went to meet Renukaprasad who was there with
| him. I joined RMS and Dora for the concert. He was loving the Indian
| classical dance and music. After the concert we moved to the house where he
| was staying. I brought him dinner. I never imagined in my life to have a
| dinner with RMS and Dora. I helped RMS to backup Dora's files from her laptop
| to an external harddisk. After the dinner I left my home with some sweet
| memories.
