ME2XP: Off Course, Windows Switch

Doesn’t the title look like a love poem? I seriously think this sounds like Me2U from one window to another (I am trying hard right now not to be tempted to write about love in this post). But this post is not about love, this is about Windows Millenium Edition and Windows eXPerience – Bill Gates’ Operating System that every computer user hates (Does Gates too?!!) yet can’t live without.

The Plight of a Brave Man

This morning, my long-time wish to know about the person who dared the security men with guns in their hands to climb on the statue of King Mahendra during the People’s Movement 1990, was fulfilled.
