Exactly 3 minutes ago, the chennai super kings won the IPL 3, the DLF IPL 2010.

Suresh Raina with a superb knock helped CSK reach a formidable total of 168 which was successfully defended by CSK. Bollinger, Ashwin, Raina, Murali all did a great job of bowling tight lines and not giving easy runs away.

I would have liked it if the run outs had been tighter but no worries. CKS WON! It was a well deserved victory since CSK have been 3 time semi finalists and 2 time finalists. So now this makes them one time champions too

I know most of you will be Firefox  patrons. To be fair, Firefox is awesome. But I have never taken to Firefox. I started with opera and even though few sites don’t work on it properly, I have used it consistently for the past 5 or 6 years. I used to use it back when it was paid. I loved it back then and I love it even more now

Here is why I love opera 10:

• The Looks
• Speed dial
• The NEW sync feature which lets you sync all your bookmarks, notes etc
• This sync feature has to be mentioned TWICE. Its that good. It has a lot of features that you will love.
• Notes
• POPUP blocker is effective while still making the INTERNET enjoyable. Firefox throws up too many popups saying it blocked a popup. That’s very good, but somehow I dont feel it ever came as good as opera.
• The turbo feature is useful when I am browsing from a really slow line.
• I had always envied the Firefox users as they had the dictionary feature. Now its there in opera too.
• torrent client
• The LINK feature is awesome from a webmaster standpoint.
• Opera Mini…need I say more about why I love Opera Mini???
• Opera has always been faster that Firefox. At least for me. I just found that I was not wrong check this link

Some features that I sorely miss in Opera:

• I wish opera had an open source-code like Firefox so many more plug-ins will be released.
• Opera just doesn’t work right with some of the sites, I hope they would fox it. (Opera 10 has been working fine with some of the usual problematic sites).
• Toolbars from various sites are not made for opera. I sorely miss this. Again hopefully opera will open up more.

This year the Indian Oscar thirst has been quenched. For more than some years now, India has been expecting an Oscar. The most notable Nomination was Lagaan some 5 years ago. But alas none received Oscar. This year, Slumdog Millionaire has got 8 Oscar award not to mention India’s own music maestro A.R.Rahman winning two (Yeah, I know one was shared, but what the heck…). This has been truly a phenomenal day for India and the Indian film Industry, not to mention the Indian Music Industry. Rahman had it coming for a long time. Both Freida and Patel have now bagged roles in new Hollywood movies. Freida with a better role though.

After having won just 2 Oscar till date, India added 3 more yesterday. This is truly great news. Well done India!
