Sometimes the most unfortunate of the events fall upon at the most ill deserved of the times. Frustrated with the waiting, I set out on a maiden voyage to brush up my skills as an Electronics Engineer and pick up quite a few new things along the way. Except for the fact that I had to wait at Kerala Electronics, Trichur for almost a full hour to buy the components during which time, I heard enough of the old Trichur slang, the purchase was fruitful. I even got to spend some quality time over a juice of fresh pineapple with an old, close friend of mine.

And it was almost always a one sided win, with Google generally taking advantage of its famed simplicity and efficiency combined with funny and humerous ways of introducing products.

Microsoft finally seems to have caught up on what it was lacking a long time. It had atlast begun to listen to its users. Eversince the much hyped Microsoft Windows Vista failed to make any noise, Microsoft have been careful of its products and the general market. Majority of the products that the evil from Redmond had been releasing ever since are quality products, reminiscent of the times that Micro-soft was formed. The new Internet Explorer, Office Suite and the unexpected free software, Windows Live Writer and above all, the latest Windows, Windows 7 have garnered hugely positive reviews and recommendations.
