Encounter with Gmail Attachment pop up

Have you ever sent an important mail when you forgot to attach the document and then resent the mail again with attachment? Sounds familiar right!!!
Gmail has this excellent feature where, once the user clicks on the send button, the system will verify your mail for wordings like 'I am attaching...' or 'I have attached...' or 'Please find attachment...' etc. and check if you have actually attached any document or not. If not, it gives you a pop up (see image), warning you that you are about to send a mail without attachment. Now that's what I call an intelligent system.

Gmail 'No-attachment' pop up
Although it is not a new feature from Google. It has been there since 2008, but I had several recent encounters where I would have been doomed and appeared unprofessional if I had sent those job applications without my profile. But thanks to google team, it saved my day once again.
So go ahead, use Gmail without any fear of being forgetful of attachments. :)

Movie - Videsh:Heaven on Earth - Disappointed

Just finished watching the movie ‘Videsh : Heaven on Earth’. I am very disappointed from Deepa Mehta and Preity Zinta. I am not saying their direction or acting has any flaws, but the concept of bringing in a snake, that too, a snake that can take up human form and fool people, ease the tension for the poor wife who gets beating by the real- husband first and then given first-aid by the snake who appears before her in form of her husband. Bah!

Already the world think India is full of superstitious foolish people and now a renowned director goes and gives the impression to the world that what they think is absolutely right. Why?


Everything else is still believable, that the mother-in-law acts as a witch, always causing problems in between husband and wife, and the crackpot husband just know one way to react to any confusion in the house – i.e. to beat up his wife as if she was the boxing pad, made available to him to take out his anger. These things still happen in several families. Even though all are educated in the family, but no one has the guts to stand up to the high-headed fool and make him realize that the women he brought into his house deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. Things like these simply add to my hatred towards this whole concept of marriage.
