Can you explain this?

Swami Nikhilaananda said:

"Someone, please explain this to me..."

Call me dumb, call me names... But I need some help on this. Since Karthik (@krangarajan) hasn't replied to my tweet, I wondered if someone else could explain...

Oh by the way, if you have not yet tried it, try out Firefox 4! It's amazing... The best that I have ever used.

Incidentally, this tweet struck to me as one of the funniest things I saw on that day. So, the Japanese faced tsunamis, earthquakes, nuclear radiation due to near-meltdowns, volcano troubles and blizzards... all back to back... and still, they lead in Firefox downloads :P Ummmm..... Do you see the link? I don't. (No, I didn't mean the url)

So, is it that Firefox download counts signify their resilience? Oh no, earthquake, run for your lives.... Oh I think it stopped. Hey, look! Firefox 4 is out... -Download- This thing is fast man! Arigataou Mozilla!

Chronicles Of Nikhil Baliga

Nik's blog - Read crazy stories, great preachings of the wise Swami Gulagulaananda and a whole lot of random bashings of random entities...

Things that you will stumble across could range from philosophy through geek stuff, from support to the under dog to blatant stone pelting to the kings, and various funny and weird stories - Both real and fiction

Every post starts with a quote, followed by a short article. I am sure you will enjoy this - leave a comment if you do (or don't :P Who doesn't love criticism?)

Do you like Hindu mythological stories?

Swami Gulagulaananda also has a constantly (albeit slowly) growing collection of Hindu mythological stories. Do visit it here

Character List

Sid:
Lead character of Artistick, an attempt is made to have him in every strip. Sid is smart - actually, too smart for his own good, and his friends love to get him into tight spots.

Tina:
The beautiful Tina is Sid's girl friend. With a red clip holding her ponytail, she loves hanging out with Sid... She's sweet, but gets jealous pretty soon. She loves shopping and gets distracted pretty easily.

Ramses:
The guy with the blue cap, Ramses is intelligent and often Sid's partner in crime. He's the quiet type, but a lot of things keep going on under his blue cap.

Keeg:
The guy with glasses, he's the geek (you guessed it) of the group. Keeg enjoys doing miscellaneous things in his spare time, from creating weird gadgets to executing complex programs and writing his original algorithms

Rahul:
Sid's best friend, Rahul is proud to be the guy with proper hair. His favourite passtime is thinking of ways to nail Sid down. And when is he's busy, he is actually executing his plans. Little does he know that Sid is not completely oblivious to his tricks.

The Boss:
The boss is a pain in the gang's rears. Most of the times, he ends up giving trouble to Sid. The boss isn't necessarily a boss, but represents the authoritative personality, like principal or dean of colleges, boss or manager of companies, and so on. And in Artistick, the boss has shown signs of driving on the wrong side of the road, if you know what I mean ;-)

Guest Characters:
You will come across various guest characters (as of now, not celebrities :P) such as the artist, policeman or doctor. Artistick aims to create characters using simple representative lines.
