Breaking news!

I am so happy that I simply had to blog about this.

My life got a little more interesting today. There is some good news I want to share but I will refrain from doing so right now. Formal confirmation is yet to come through so I am holding off the announcement till that happens. OK, some of you know what it is about. But please don't reveal what it is.

The day was spent reading up on Java and security. Found this freely available nice eBook called Securing Java on the Net.

Needless to say I will keep you updated. Hope things are going on smoothly at your end.

Prayers for you

Hey Varun,

Sounds like you are very excited. Here's praying it comes through for you - whatever it is.

I needed your help. I have started an article on Wikipedia - about our school Prakash. I need input from all the prakash gang. Is it possible to arrange this? There was no article about Prakash so had to create it! :)

Help is much appreciated.

Quite possible

Thanks for your prayers. Will keep you guys updated.

I just had a look at the Wikipedia article for Prakash School and its a nice start.

I predict that sooner or later a controversy will arise on whether our school is significant enough to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. And we will have to be ready with the reasons.

Drop an email to our school gang. I am sure many will be willing to help in small and big ways. Some will be unaware of the concept of a Wiki so a brief explanation on that front might help.

I will work on the article as soon as I get some time. I am also a member of another Prakash Group on Yahoo and I will drop an email to that group also.

Well, my guess is as good as

Well, my guess is as good as anyone's what the excitement is all for, well best wishes and hope to hear a final confirmation soon...

I am NOT getting married

Submitted by varun on Wed, 18/01/2006 - 4:57pm.

I am sure at least some of you have wondered if I am getting engaged/married. I want to categorically say that I am NOT getting engaged or married or anything similarly adventurous :-)

hi varun

hi varun

Since I am quite dumb, I doubted for a brief moment if you are getting married, to say the truth! Happy to know that you are not.

Anyway, everybody's guess is my guess and I hope it's the news. Waiting to know the details.

Also please modify the colors in ur page a bit, make them warmer or cooler according to your taste, but the present mix is unintersting.

And a big congrats.

Nice to have you back

Submitted by varun on Thu, 19/01/2006 - 12:14am.

Hi Anna,

Nice to see you back in the blogosphere even if its just a comment and not a full-fledged blog of your own. Maybe we can entice you back into the fold :-)

By any chance are you using a laptop to view this blog? Because it seems that the colours show up funny on at least some laptop screens. What colours or sections do you think I should tweak?

Some time back I thought that you had restarted blogging. I was still subscribed to your blog's feed. It turned out that somebody else is using that URI for his blog now... Anyways do let me know when you resume blogging. I am sure you will sooner or later :-)

Btw the good news would probably be quite uninteresting to most people. I am sure most people who are waiting for me to announce it would say 'Aww shucks...' when they actually come to know about it.

Just read your comment

Submitted by varun on Thu, 19/01/2006 - 12:19am.

Hi Anna,

I just read your comment and am glad to know that you plan to resume blogging. Btw we could make an attempt to salvage your deleted posts from the feed items in feed readers that were subscribed to your blog's feed.

I Know...

Submitted by varun on Thu, 19/01/2006 - 7:46pm.

Which Saurabh is this? Is this Saurabh from Ahmedabad? Or Saurabh from Delhi? Or Saurabh who was with me in ILP?

Saurabh 'The Terrorist' Periwal

Submitted by varun on Thu, 19/01/2006 - 8:16pm.

Hmmm... Access logs indicate that you are Saurabh 'The Terrorist' Periwal from Ahmedabad.

I can see that old habits die hard :-) Mat bata yaar, mat bata. Let it get confirmed first.

Hi Saurabh,

I thought about it and realized that you probably don't know what the news is. And its not what you think it is :-) Now what?

I can't guess..

Keeping my fingers crossed..!
