My internet connection is down
Time and again, whenever my internet is down, and thank goodness that is only five times a year on an average, I am reminded of how crippled I am… The wiki and Google revolution have made themselves so central in the quest of knowledge that I turn to the internet for each minute matter; be it looking up phrases/ meanings on answers.com/ free dictionaries, or googling a term in the texts, or writing t0 friends looking for answers, or be it for news, discussions and banking needs.
All that we require daily is facilitate by the web, and my, what a dependence that is!
What I couldn’t do:
- Look up the Greek alphabet.
- Discuss with professor and friends a doubt.
- Check on the news.
- Get myself a image of ‘Google’ and ‘wiki’!
Before I can fill in the fifth, I’m back online… Thank goodness!

ELU
Henceforth, I shall form some sentences using new words, nay, words whose meanings I have come to grasp. Each such post will be titled ELU standing for English Language Usage.
Here’s the first…
growl (verb)
One can hear the aircraft engines (Boeings) growling right up to Hiranandani, Powai, which is at least 3 kms away from the airport (along a line)!
Experiments with the Windows Live Writer
Seems easy enough to use… Trying out the features…
