I'd a look at it and couldn't find anything malicious; and definitely not from Bhumika. She is just one lady who believes that "Love can change your life" ;) On a side note, I'd suggest you to use <a href="http://noscript.net" rel="nofollow">noscript extension for firefox</a>. It'll hinder in a number of ways in your browsing experience, but also provide a guaranteed protection against a number of attacks. You can always turn it of (temporarily or permanently) for a particular domain. Gautham,

On a side note, I’d suggest you to use noscript extension for firefox. It’ll hinder in a number of ways in your browsing experience, but also provide a guaranteed protection against a number of attacks. You can always turn it of (temporarily or permanently) for a particular domain.

I mean give my profile id? <em>[Orkut Profile Link removed by site admin]</em> there is a scrap from one bhumika. ok, here's the thing. I was Gtalk when I got this msg notification and it showed me the code there similar to that of the prior attack. So i am guessing it's still there. Anyway, please let me know if it's a false alarm. Thanks How do I do that?

You know how the Indian Legal System (and broadly, the Indians) function...</blockquote> Actually, I'd like to differ on generalising the Indian part (although not completely). There are an amazing number of beautiful things being done, which go completely unknown. There a good number of highly educated people who left every luxury and started off with social work. I have been fortunate enough to be associated with a few of them. Will also be posting one of such achievements on my other blog. By the way, did you know that my college body has a tribal school? These kids went to SA and won the under 14 (I think) Rugby World Championship. Rugby! Can you imagine that? I can now boast that I'd taken a few classes at the school (although I taught Permutation & Combination, not Rugby :P ) Unfortunately, these are never highlighted by the media. I always find it very interesting that Indian democracy WORKS... considering the problems we have in all directions: Kashmir militancy, Tamilnadu & LTTE, Naxals etc. in east, Militancy in Punjab... and the Bihar :).... and even then at the end of the day, the democracy works. We always talk about how corrupt the politicians are, but even after all these disasters, we do see some amazing developments. Uh! That's a long comment. :P Summary: Hope survives :)
