So cliché ! TMENTS
By Smriti Daniel
There is a reason clichés are clichés, and it's this – more often than not – why they're true. There does tend to be a fire where there's smoke (or at least a very poorly maintained vehicle), whatever will be, will be and of course there is truly no place like home.
 
To upgrade or not - techno page
Much to the annoyance of most of my "groovy," "new age," "Microsoft hating" friends, I have stuck with IE over the years, ignorantly disregarding the advances of Netscape, Mozilla, Mosaic and Opera. This was more out of indifference rather than of any loyalty to Mr. Gates or in support of MS through the anti-trust trials. Knowing Microsoft, I always had a hunch that IE would be the least troublesome browser to use on a Windows platform. If you can imagine what a rude shock it was for me to find out that the rest of the world had moved on and evolved while I was stuck in the IE time capsule, then you would also be able to understand my relief when IE 7 came out.
 
It never stops…
By N. Dilshath Banu
Out of the blue, you might realise that you have a built-in coping mechanism to deal with the latest challenge that is thrown your way. This mechanism was not taught in your school or university curriculum, but you are able to deal with the crisis. Maybe it was playing chess that enhanced your ability to think on your feet, or you simply read something on how to deal with people at work, or may be you acquired a new addition to your vocabulary.
