Google talk

Its Saturday night here, atleast in India, and almost the right time to get a good night's sleep.
But fortunately, my net connection at home is rocking at the moment, and I am involved in downloading a bit of s/w which seems to take hours here, rather than a quantum of few seconds, if it were office.

Anyways, Google talk was the flavor of the week.
Google Talk is really as lite as promised, and all Google fans will be hooked into this in a few days time.
I already used it across India and it seems to deliver what it promises and I guess, that's what customers really want.
This should definitely have set the warning bells ringing in the Yahoos of the world and also for M/S Bill Gates at Redmond, WA.
Sleepless in Seatle would truely sum up the state of mind of Mr Gates at the moment. The news that's making the rounds is that Google wud soon have their own web browser, and that must have not passed without a chill down the spine.

Today, Hindustan is jubiliant with the Dahi-Handi celebrations
and Mumbai usually leads the honors. Lots of pride and money is at stake and its quite eventful to watch the human pyramid scale great heights. Long live the human spirit
