Life

My brother-in-law (who lives in Canada) is on a short visit here. He has been into Siebel and is a big fan of M$ (yuck). He'd been like an elder brother to me most of the time, especially if he is around. His recent favour is that he is giving me a loan to buy a CUS (Cheap, Used and Small :)) Car. This would make my life in Karachi quite better as here going somewhere in a bus is a waste of time and energy and opting for a cab is a waste of money.

Waheed (who is i think my best friend) is also arriving in a day or two. I'll spend my Eid holidays with him most of the time.

My mouth (especially my tongue) is in a very bad shape. I've been ignoring sores on my mouth/tongue since a week or so and now the sores have started to become 'wounds'. I'll definitely go to a doctor tomorrow.

Glade

Glade people should really put a big label saying "Not to scale" on Glade as you mostly can't know what would your widget actually look like. I am sick and tired of executing my app. again and again to see the actual results.

Who's the Communist here?

Regarding Bill Gate's recent blame on the 'Forces of Freedom': if i could meet him, I'll ask him if he knows anything about 'communism' and especially the big difference between communism and Communism? Anyway, assuming the same meaning of the word he assumes, we note that it's not us who have a lot in common with the USSR then they themselves: We are talking about freedom, they are talking about restrictions; We are talking about open systems, while they are talking about secrecy; They are talking about creating a monopoly, while we are talking about free-market, etc.

dorward: Thanks a lot for your efforts.
