Pretty ghastly news from hyderabad, India - my hometown. Approximately 12 hours ago, some unknown terrorists targeted crowded places in hyderabad. There were 2 bomb blasts, 10 mins and 4 kms apart, killing over 40 people. 
Quite a shocking news.
It is hard to think of reasons why Hyderabad is targeted for such attacks. Coverage from various sources
Past few years have been great for hyderabad. Economy has been booming, property values appreciating and people migrating into hyderabad. It is just so sickening to see madness like this perpetrated against families going to a park. What kind of terrorist would justify this action? Strangely, these terrorist acts targeted muslims (during the may 18th attack) and general public (yesterday’s), and it is hard to see religion as a motive.
What could be the motive? Why would anyone want to target happy families looking for entertainment? It is quite shocking.
While i am thankful that none of my family or friends have been affected, i feel quite uneasy about hyderabad and the security situation. I feel terrible for all the folks who were actually affected by this. Shocking

Recent days, i started queueing my blog reading. The good part about it is that i am able to get a lot more done during the week. The bad part is that i am missing cool news. One such news is that YSlow - firefox extension - was released late last month.
Y Slow is a great firefox plugin that analyzes a website and gives a report card. In this page, yslow creator outline what the thought process behind the report card is. When you install yslow and run it on a site, you get a grade for your site. For each of the 13 items you see on the “rules page”, there is a grade assigned in yslow and overall grade is a summary of those. This is a great tool, very valuable. I was able to look at various aspects of my website - www.nesteggr.com - and figure out what i can be doing better.

About 2 weeks back, i discovered Aamir khan’s blog. Yes, - the bollywood star - Aamir khan. Surprisingly, i found his blog to be a good read. He reacts to the 100s of comments, delves into his thought process for some characters and blogs. Atleast for now, he’s posting regularly, talking about his upcoming movie (hindi version of Ghajini) and things going on.
