I like Gmail

 

Yes. The blog post title is almost contradictory to the previous post I made.

But yes, the contradiction is not there.

Ever since its launch in 2004; I have been a huge Gmail fan. Its fantastic and innovative features, its huge inbox size, its simplistic and compact design and the conversation style arrangement of messages and labels instead of folders

I still love Gmail … it's the new interface that I don't like.

I had been a troubled soul when I had seen my gmail box usage touch 97% once upon a time. This was way back in time when the mailbox was 1 GB. I had exchanged emails with my close friends about what will I do now. And then just like that they increased the mailbox size from 1 to 2GB and the 97% went down to 48% … wooohooo ….

I was going through similar feelings since past we months as my 7.5GB mailbox began to show near 90% usage. The message in my mailbox at the time of posting is "92% full - Using 7108 MB of your 7710 MB"

AND it happens again … Google has announced yet another quantum jump from 7.5GB to 10 GB !!!

Wooooohooooo ….. http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/gmail-now-with-10-gb-of-storage-and.html

And that way they advertize Google Drive to all Gmail users directly J

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
