The HowtoGeek website has got a very cute logo. Check it out : HERE
It reminds of of those days when I got newly acquainted with the Microsoft paint tool! I used to come back from school, switch on the computer and open paint. Then I used to get started by creating like a really cute face, rubbing out the mistakes with that cute little rubber! [Note the usage of cute: twice] I used to love the spray paint tool! I always used to make the eyes using spray tool.
I used to be so proud of myself after the completion of a drawing. I even took a print out of a really *ugly* face which I had created. Those were the days....

Shift+Delete sucks.
One bright sunny day. Birds chirping. Cows moo-ing. Atmosphere great outside.
Everybody enjoying at home as well. Many electronic gadgets being used by my family members. Radio, Television, Mixer, I-pod, Computer.
I was using the computer. I wanted to clean out my Desktop folders. I don't like it cluttered. I don't like to have more than 6 or 7 folders on my Desktop.
First I arranged them in an order. A simple right click, a selection and that does it.
Second, I hold down the control button on my white keyboard and select a few files and folders.
Third, I press Shift+Delete.
Fourth, all the files I'd selected gets deleted.
OOPS!
Problem: I had accidentally selected the folder which had all my music and movies and photos and programs. And yes, they got deleted as well.
I frantically searched my entire file system for it. All in vain. Poopie :(
Thats ok, no need to get your tissues out, I had back up. Not much harm done.
But it made me feel pretty stupid you know. Its like one second you're holding a beautiful crystal ball and the next second you accidentally smash it on the floor. Its like you ask somebody, hey where's building X and you realize you're standing right in front of it. Its like one of those situations when you feel.. Duh! how stupid!
If you know what I mean....

MAC Fast food , Safina Plaza, Bangalore.
After a bit of shopping in Safina Plaza, we decided to go to MAC Fast food. We walked up a staircase which led to a tiny place having a khaitan fan for ventilation. The place was not really clean and the waiter was very grouchy. We ordered fries, veg kati roll, pizza and tea. I'll describe them for you.
Fries: They were yellow in colour. Too much turmeric. Too much oil. Why they're called 'french' fries, I don't know. (Rating: 0.76/5 )
veg kati roll: Roti with a vegetable 'palya' stuffed inside which is supposed to make it a roll, but was stuffed in such a way that it could easily be eaten like a side dish. (Rating: 1/5 )
Pizza: I actually liked it. (Rating: 4/5)
Tea: Excellent. MAC fast food people get the milk, water, sugar and tea bags from outside. (Rating:5/5)
So the average rating is 2.69/5.
Here are a few Tips:
Tip no 1: Always read online about a hotel or a fast food joint before trying it out.
Tip no 2: Use your brains and don't order 4 dishes the first time you go to a new restaurant, unless a non-enemy has personally recommended it.
Tip no 3: Never ever order fries in a lets-check-it-out place.
Tip no 4: Walk on the footpath. [No. Its not exactly related to food. But its a good tip]
