Urban Vs Rural People

Internet connection has been bit shaky lately. Don’t know how long it will take to get things normal again.

I was reading the board book of English 2nd paper (SSC) a while ago. I found a conversation out there quite interesting and well above the standard. The topic was comparison between city and rural lives. Two kids (that’s what they wrote in the introduction) were arguing which one was the better. The supporter of urban life was referring to modern amenities available in the cities, dynamic life compared to sluggish rural one… and so so. (Nothing that much new) The other lad, who favoured rural life, thought village life is lot better since you can see the lovely sunshine, feel the simplistic and easy village life with sympathetic and simple village peoples. Well, the last point was quite noteworthy. I wonder how much is this true?

As far as urban life goes, I can say it’s kind of mechanistic and people generally look after their own fortunes. But personally I think village life is not simple either; at least not as simple as depicted in the conversation. We all know about the dirty village politics (Hail Politicians!!! They are omnipotent.)

But one thing I guess I can say confidently, the general people are lot simpler than city dwellers…

Inequality or Delusion?

Actually I came to 360 to change my BLAST… which I’ve changed already.

Going through different 360 pages (one of my favourite pastime… what else we can do now???), I read a comment in a blog which roughly says women brain is lot more complicated than men’s’… Felt like posting a new blog…

I do respect everyone’s right to have their own view, meaning no harm; even then it’s really strange to find these sorts of attitudes. I don’t know how these developed at the first instance. No matter of gender identity, people shamelessly finds pleasure in depicting the other gender as their inferior counterpart without ignoring the fact that there are people of other gender who are far better then him/her in terms of personality…

Sometimes I feel pretty weird. May be bringing gender equality is itself a self delusion…

NB: I would request everyone to take this blog impersonally.

Yahoo Mail Beta Vs Live Mail Beta

Lately I’ve got yahoo mail beta. Have been using Live mail beta for quite some time. Thought I can compare these two wonderful new generation mailing service.

The revolution was actually brought by google’s gmail. Google showed what can be done using Ajax. Then yahoo and microsoft both used this. (Well, dont think I’ve learned these, actually Mejho told me, he is a kind of Web-maniac though.)

The 1st thing is u can easily subscribe to msn live mail by going to www.live.com following the relevant link there. (At least stuffs were that easy for me.) For yahoo mail beta, the ball is in yahoo’s court. They will give u and test ur patience .

Unlike what u expect from MSN (who has tradiotionally been reluctant in giving space) Live Mail gives u 2G space compared to 1G of yahoo mail beta. For MSN its a huge jump, from 2M to 2G, 1024 fold !!! Amazing, isn’t it???

I dont know what is wrong with Microsoft security checking system, but it takes boringly long time to pass the security checking. Live mail is no different.

Yahoo mail gives a below plain preview of each mail, tabbed mail facility within single mail window, that is u don have to load a new page to compose a new mail or read a mail, its just a tab, which makes this mailing unbelievably fast and furious. I think Live Mail of MSN is lagging behind. They give only the option of only a preview of each mail, though this feature is more advanced compared to yahoo’s. Last time when I logged into Live Mail, they said, there are new features added, but I didn’t check them yet.

Well, at the end I wud prefer Yahoo because it has so many integrated services, like Yahoo Photos, Yahoo Auto, My Web (which I dont actually use), groups, Yahoo Answers, not to mention Y-360. MSN has equivalent to all these, but I’ve started yahoo first, and yahoo has integrated me with it .

Thats it for the moment.
