There is a very good site (www.wordle.net) for creating your word cloud images in different fonts, layouts, and colors. It generates a word cloud image from a bunch of text, or a blog or any site which has an atom or rss feed. Here are my delicious tag clouds created by using 2 different layouts (Randomized) from wordle:

These days lots of construction of flyovers and Delhi Metro is going on in the way between my office and home. I usually take the route through ring road to commute between my office and home which is well known to me, but yesterday evening while returning from office I took some other unknown route for trying to see if it takes less time and has less traffic. To my surprise, it included some roads with bad conditions and also took more time to reach home and I had to ask the route to my destination (home) from the passer byes. It nearly takes 1.30 hrs to reach to my home in evening, but yesterday that route took me more than 2 hrs to reach my home and I was very tired.
So, I have decided that I will always go with known route and not experiment much with other routes even if some traffic is there on my normal route.
All in all, Yesterday's commute to home was a bad experience for me.

Software Development is like talking to a distant star, by the time you receive the answer, you may've forgotten the question. By: UNKNOWN
Folks, lets examine how a request for a web service is handled by .Net when it comes in from any client: ------------------------------------------ When a request comes into IIS for a .Net web service, IIS examines the request and determines that it is being sent a file that ends with the extn. .asmx. The ASP.Net handler is registered with IIS as handling this extn.; therefore, this request is handed over to the ASP.Net process.
At this point, the ASP.Net worker process examines the request and discovers that it has a handler registered in machine.config file, for a request for resources with the extn. .asmx. It therefore invokes this handler and passes the request onto it.
Next, the handler creates an instance of the class defined in the handler, and uses reflection to examine which operations the class supports and how those operations should be routed. By default, operations are mapped to methods using the SOAPAction HTTP header, but this can be changed to map to the first child element of the SOAP body.
Once the message is routed, the handler uses the XML Serializer to deserialize the request XML into the parameters the method is expecting. Once the method returns, the return value and any out parameters are mapped back into XML using XML Serializer. Then, a response SOAP message is created that wraps this XML , and the response is sent back via ASP.Net's HTTPResponse context.
If an exception is thrown, then it is wrapped into a SOAPException and a SOAP fault is returned instead, with the HTTP status code set to 500. (For non-error responses, the status code is 200 or OK).

Zindagi se maeney bahut kuchh seekha kabhi jeet kar haara toe kabhi haar kar jeeta -------------------------------------------------------- tum na thay toe duniya lagti thi badi sooni sooni tum jo aaye to humne tarakki ki din duni raat chauguni
Seems like that Bollywood Music likes Cliff Richard. The song - Pal Pal Har Pal of Lagge Raho Munnabhai sounds is topping the charts and sounds much like the You are my theme for a dream of Cliff Richard. Even if its a copy its crafted and lyricised beautifully
I Hope to see more Bollywood songs sound like Cliff Richard as much as more Indian Music and Cliff Richard fans do.
paas baethoe kabhi aao mehfil maen aur dil chahey toe doob jao mere dil maen ------------------------------------------ Colours of Love:
Black and Blue Love is True
White is Pure Love is Sure
Yellow is Sun Love is Fun
Velvet Touch Love is too much
White is as Bright, like, Love is at first Sight
Sunny as Afternoon Love is like trust full Spoon
Red is danger, like, Love with a Stranger
Green as Matrix Love is not playing tricks
Pink is a symbol of joy Love is not playing with a Toy
Brown is the darker side of life Love is the brighter side of life
Colourless is transparent Love more your parents
Orange as Oranges Bring everyone (with love) out of Cages
Deep as Purple Love increases har pal ---------------------------------------- Lemon Crush Coke Plush Orange Slush Personal Touchsh Lonely Rush Forever Trustsh and, Mouth Fresh as Tooth is Brush ------------------------------------------- nahin guzarta hae ek bhi pal, per lagta hae guzar gaya aane wala bhi kal ------------------------------------------- nazren dhoondti haen har pal kisi naye afsaane koe aur dil karta hae uske dil maen doob jaane koe
