The new GMail. Features I want, but don’t get.
GMail has been adding a lot of new features, stuff like permalinks for labels/specific mails, colour-coded labels, group chats and stuff. All features I so dig, and want. But funnily, these features are not active/cannot be turned on in my main GMail account – the chandrachoodan one. I wonder why. Is it because this particular email id is old – from the days when GMail only gave you 3 invites to send to friends? Is this the thanks I get for being one of the longest standing users of GMail? For being an early-adopter of technology?
On the other hand, just when my Inbox was reaching 80% capacity (was 2200 MB), GMail more than doubled the inbox size, and now I am at only 35% capacity. (2110 MB - I deleted some old threads and backed up others to my other gmail accounts)
The story of Sanjay Dutt and the harmless criminal
The media simply cannot stop talking about this man. They followed him right from his home to the TADA Court in Mumbai to the Yerwada jail in Pune to the Supreme Court till back home to Mumbai. However I was a bit perturbed when I read this one on the web where he said spending Diwali in Jail was a sad part (of his life). Damn it, here is a man who was jailed for an offence as serious as possessing AK-56s (alright we know he was absolved of criminal conspiracy charges in the Bombay Bomb Blast Case) is casually making this statement, as if to mean he was in prison for absolutely no fault of his. Anyways, this is India’s most celebrated criminal for you.
Nevertheless, the story of Sanjay Dutt and the harmless criminal still continues to amaze all of us.
PS: No offence intended. I still love Vaastav and the Munnabhai series.
Putting Aishwarya in the title turns it sexy.
In the four something years that SelAm has been around, this is what I’ve learnt. Aishwarya Rai == more hits.
The jury is still undecided on Abhishek Bachchan. Meanwhile, my blog still draws people looking for pictures of Silk Smitha.

The Chennai Photo Quiz
PlaneMad here has a good thing going. I couldn’t answer quiz #3, but you might. Give it a shot.
Proof that I can never take a good enough photo.
How can I ever better this?
