A very interesting web-page

Omar Al Zabir Portal
(It is best viewed using IE with popup blocker disabled.)

Update: Check out Flyakite OSX. A similar website just based on OS X. It also offers several downloads that allow you to transform your XP desktop to look like OS X. I will post the screenshots of my desktop sometime in the future, when I get time.

(Weakly) Weekly Quote-hanger

I doubt whether I will be able to post quotes even monthly. Time just flies when you have a kid at home and are employed! So I am just posting a link to a quotations blog: Quotations Weblog, which I have also added to my list of links.

The Early Tendulkar

I still remember the 18-ball 53 that Tendulkar made against Pakistan in an exhibition match. A fantastic innings eventhough India ended up on the losing side. Here is what Qadir, Sachin and Srikanth had to say about that innings.

A suitable beginning - Tendulkar takes Qadir on

As an aside, here is one thought that has always troubled me. There have been several matches in which Tendulkar scored big runs but India lost. This is seen by many people as a blight in Tendulkar's record...isn't that surprising? I mean, one person plays well, the rest fail and still that one person who played well gets blamed!!!

Spelling mistake in US visa form! :-)

Found a spelling mistake in the DS-156 US visa form today :-) "separated" is spelled incorrectly as "seperated". I have seen many people make this mistake...maybe one day this would become the correct "American" spelling.
