My life, my words by Madhat.
I too consider myself with diverse interest; after all I am a Gemini you know!(smile)
I happen to see an ad by Google by Blogbharti.com in which they have advertised that one can keep themselves update about Indian politics.
Though I have very strong views on the subject (who has not got), I never talk or write about politics in general.
Well, in Blogbharti.com, I was attracted by a name Madhat as one of the contributors for Blogbharti.com. I clicked on his name and landed in his blog. Yes, he definitely has varied interests.
Madhat tries not to live by the rules out lives in Bangalore, a city that he plans not to leave. Has wide-ranging interests, including feminism, world cinema, literature, music, computers, politics and culture.
I enjoyed reading his views on American toilets and Californian summer.
Work from home.

Using instant messenger? Read this then.
Thank God, I don't use instant messengers. At the start of my internet career, I used Yahoo IM extensively. Then, as and when I started getting busy, those friends became an annoyance.
Chat networks are the hot new venue for virus and malware authors. A new study says that malicious attacks over IM networks are up almost 80 percent compared to last year.
Akonix, which just released the statistics over the weekend, is in the business of developing IM “cleaning” services so you might want to take the numbers with a grain of salt, but still, according to Akonix’s survey there have been 226 exploits for IM networks this year, which is just over one a day.
So, what is the moral behind this story?
“As with everything else in the online world, make sure you trust your IM contacts before clicking a link or downloading any files sent over IM”.
