I like how he thinks…. 1 pound for cutting the hair……9 pounds for finding them……..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-8056026080937902810?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/8056026080937902810/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/10/10-pound-sterling-haircut.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/8056026080937902810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/8056026080937902810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/10/10-pound-sterling-haircut.html' title='10 pound sterling haircut ?'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-720102105503588977</id><published>2009-10-08T05:05:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T05:05:23.186+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facts'/><title type='text'>My chat with President Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;This was an interesting part of my life. Yes as the heading says i did speak. It all started 4 days ago as i was ill and in bed. I was so much in pain because of my gout ( kind of arthritis attack) and my blood pressure was low. First time in my life i was hallucinating, i was talking to President Barack Obama. We were discussing about the IOC venue. I explained him why the board chose Rio over Chicago.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My reasons were:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;1. Brazil is beautiful&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2. It has beach, sand, sun and more views for all kinds of people, age and status.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3. More local people. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;4. Beautiful language.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;5. Better customer service – He asked me “Kakvo?” I said the maximum population of Bulgarians reside in Chicago and we know about the customer service ( He did not understand)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;6. Chicago has only Lake Michigan!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;7. City were basketball, baseball and American Football prevails – It’s the Olympics &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;8. There is local food in South America and KFC and Mc Donalds are not food for athletes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;9.&amp;#160; And everyone knows that Mr. President is from Chicago…we want people to run the track not run for their lives&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;10.

So i decided to make Upma&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Let me give you a brief description what Upma is. Literally translated means : be ready to laugh guys salt mango tree . I am not joking LOL. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Upma is actually rava (kind of semolina – kind of wheat). Cooked with ginger, salt, curry leaves, onions, mustard seeds and is consumed along with banana. Someday if you drop by in London remind me to make you one. Yes i started cooking it and i was successful. It tasted like something nice and i now proud of my Indian traits. Not spicy but its amazing. You can add peas, cashew nuts and many variations. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:4c785a48-baac-4b0d-9496-f30ca5034e4b" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sr9-zmZZPrI/AAAAAAAAHLw/YPiAIgJYuC0/upma-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="Upma" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sr9_D5FahcI/AAAAAAAAHL4/mrJfO2XFS9c/upma%5B23%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="274" height="263" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-6702897247566562278?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/6702897247566562278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-first-upma-south-indian-breakfast.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/6702897247566562278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/6702897247566562278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-first-upma-south-indian-breakfast.html' title='My first Upma (south-Indian breakfast dish)'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sr9_D5FahcI/AAAAAAAAHL4/mrJfO2XFS9c/s72-c/upma%5B23%5D.png?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-1122135487009656057</id><published>2009-09-27T17:52:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T17:52:17.774+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><title type='text'>Don’t trust a man with a Green Bag….</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Last evening i had a the best time in London. I was waiting for Petia at Tottenham Station and it was amazing. Saturday evening and so many people. I loved it, i was watching all those lovely people pass by.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I had 2 guys come up to me and ask me directions. According to my few days in London i thought i knew the whole place. They asked me where is “Leicester square” and i started laughing as they thought i was a local. They started laughing too and they thought i did not understand their accent. It was hilarious and they repeated the question. I said “Nznam Dude” and started laughing and we all laughed. At the end they asked someone else and found their way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Another lady asked me where is Tesco’s. I said i know where is Starbuck’s but not a Tesco’s. I told her that Leicester square should have one and pointed her the right direction as i learned from my previous experience. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Another couple asked me “Is this oxford street ?” as i was outside Tottenham court road i said no it’s not oxford street. I told them to follow a road. And then i see that i was standing right below a board that shows where the Oxford Street was. Guess what ? i showed them the wrong direction….again..&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;It was all nice as now i know where all these streets exist and one evening i will never forget!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-1122135487009656057?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/1122135487009656057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/dont-trust-man-with-green-bag.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/1122135487009656057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/1122135487009656057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/dont-trust-man-with-green-bag.html' title='Don’t trust a man with a Green Bag….'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-1963969420023333205</id><published>2009-09-22T15:08:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T15:08:22.413+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nutrition'/><title type='text'>Increase Omega 3 in your diet</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Everybody knows that Omega 3 boosts your brain power, fights fat and gives you a clear skin. So increasing the intake of Omega 3 is necessary. Adding cold water fish like salmon and mackerel in your diet is the best.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But what if you want plant based Omega 3, then flax seeds are the best. It’s better to take flax seeds raw rather than flex seed oil as you will get the whole seed package ie. Protein, fiber, minerals and photochemical along with the Omega 3.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some facts about Omega 3:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;- Flax seeds are the best source of the photochemical Lignan. This photochemical is believed to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-cancer properties. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;- Coz of the hard shell it’s better you blend it for few seconds before consuming otherwise it will pass undigested.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;- They are the least stable of the fatty acids so they turn rancid ( which smells like paint thinner ) quickly if they are exposed to heat, light and even air. So better grind them just before you have your cereals or salads or any other food.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;CAUTION:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Do not eat more than 2 or 3 table spoons of raw flex seeds a day. They contain cyanogen which in small amounts is harmless but in large amounts could act to keep your thyroid from absorbing enough iodine Don’t eat huge amounts of any single food, no matter how beneficial it’s supposed to be. &lt;strong&gt;Remember a healthy diet is a varied diet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:8747F07C-CDE8-481f-B0DF-C6CFD074BF67:5b817d5f-34a9-4a16-b542-1eddfadd4b4b" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sri-MbXhSeI/AAAAAAAAHLo/wCx3kRer7R8/flax-seed-8x6.jpg?imgmax=800" title="Flex Seeds" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sri-NNGJieI/AAAAAAAAHLs/9zYoLxVnCOo/flax-seed%5B18%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="310" height="248" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-1963969420023333205?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/1963969420023333205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/increase-omega-3-in-your-diet.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/1963969420023333205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/1963969420023333205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/increase-omega-3-in-your-diet.html' title='Increase Omega 3 in your diet'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh6.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Sri-NNGJieI/AAAAAAAAHLs/9zYoLxVnCOo/s72-c/flax-seed%5B18%5D.png?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-1694405371927979332</id><published>2009-09-22T12:49:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T12:50:39.460+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='website'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='design'/><title type='text'>SEO – Tips to maintain your website</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SridxJ0gMgI/AAAAAAAAHLg/eIF7F5Faxb8/s1600-h/la-seo%5B6%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="la-seo" border="0" alt="la-seo" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SridxooJBPI/AAAAAAAAHLk/5yoe16Uvbz0/la-seo_thumb%5B4%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="240" height="136" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and content guidelines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Have a site map with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Make sure that your &amp;lt;title&amp;gt; elements and alt attributes are descriptive and accurate. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Check for broken links and correct HTML. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a “?” character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical guidelines&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Allow search bots to crawl your sites without session IDs or arguments that track their path through the site. These techniques are useful for tracking individual user behavior, but the access pattern of bots is entirely different. Using these techniques may result in incomplete indexing of your site, as bots may not be able to eliminate URLs that look different but actually point to the same page. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Make sure your web server supports the If-Modified-Since HTTP header. This feature allows your web server to tell Google whether your content has changed since we last crawled your site. Supporting this feature saves you bandwidth and overhead. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Make use of the robots.txt file on your web server. This file tells crawlers which directories can or cannot be crawled. Make sure it’s current for your site so that you don’t accidentally block the Googlebot crawler. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;If your company buys a content management system, make sure that the system can export your content so that search engine spiders can crawl your site. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Use robots.txt to prevent crawling of search results pages or other auto-generated pages that don’t add much value for users coming from search engines. Also keep in mind that when you block robots it’s a tip for hackers that you have useful info in that session. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Test your site to make sure that it appears correctly in different browsers.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quality guidelines – basic principles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines&lt;/strong&gt;. Don’t deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as “cloaking.” &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you’d feel comfortable explaining what you’ve done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, “Does this help my users?

Today was the day when i decided to move to our new place. A beautiful place called East Croydon, many have heard about the city. It was my second time and love it there. The best part is that they have a road called “Lebanon Road” and all those delicious Lebanese cuisines. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The train ride to East Croydon is good as it is over ground and you can see the city unlike the underground. It’s fast and on time. The place we rented out is great and we have an Indian shop at the corner. I think&amp;#160; Petia and I have a huge smile already. We have tram closer to our place and the famous IKEA. So many reasons why we like residence.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After we sort all this and once i have my residence permit come, then will be my job hunting. Looking forward to that now.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Eid Mubarak to all friends and family out there !!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-5571337127221112847?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/5571337127221112847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/moving-south.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/5571337127221112847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/5571337127221112847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/moving-south.html' title='Moving South!!!'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-3614749860545867778</id><published>2009-09-16T12:06:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-16T12:07:59.271+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='green'/><title type='text'>6 Green Habits</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Energy – Efficient Light Bulbs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;They are more expensive than normal but last ten times longer than standard bulbs. They use 75% less energy saving a lot on your electric bills. So change your incandescent light bulbs to CFL ( Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs )&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Switching Off&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Switch the lights off when you leave your room. Stop putting your televisions and computers on standby during the night.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Filling the kettle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;People have a habit of filling the kettle till top for a cup of tea or coffee in the morning. Why do you want to take long time for boiling just your one cup ? Get into the habit of filling the kettle to its just minimum around 2 cups and the rest use it to wash that tea cup ;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Composting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you have vegetable peels or scraps from plants and have a garden then use it as manure and enjoy it ;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Recycling&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The best thing is that these items don’t stink. So you don’t have to empty it everyday.&amp;#160; So have a habit of dividing them to plastic, paper and glass. Make it a habit and then it’s easier to recycle.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;6. &lt;strong&gt;Re-usable Shopping Bags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Stop taking bags from the stores. Whenever you head to the store take your own bags. For those fashion savvy people they get to show their own bags instead of the store logo ;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So at least do 5 of the above this month and the 6th one next month ;)&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SrCqp_iRZAI/AAAAAAAAHLM/91iesgHzIeA/s1600-h/ecofriendlyphones5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="eco-friendly-phones" border="0" alt="eco-friendly-phones" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SrCqqSJKL-I/AAAAAAAAHLQ/eTsuZoejuos/ecofriendlyphones_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="129" height="124" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-3614749860545867778?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/3614749860545867778/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/6-green-habits.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/3614749860545867778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/3614749860545867778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/6-green-habits.html' title='6 Green Habits'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SrCqqSJKL-I/AAAAAAAAHLQ/eTsuZoejuos/s72-c/ecofriendlyphones_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-8778156818713918591</id><published>2009-09-15T17:14:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-09-15T17:14:50.934+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='underground'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='London'/><title type='text'>Underground!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Had a long journey through the London underground, man it’s amazing as i was used to the single line in Sofia and the door opening on one side.

I wanted to leave without any gathering or party. But had a good mate Adam who surprised me with a lovely dinner with the most amazing people in Sofia. Off course there were couple of friends who could not make it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A super dinner with alcohol and friends…what else can a man ask for. Sat with friends from different parts of the world speaking different languages. This is the power of &lt;a title="couchsurfing" href="http://www.couchsrufing.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;couchsurfing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Had wonderful gifts yesterday..to add to the surprise….and these people were all smiling and happy. Loved every second and moment i spend last evening….more like cs family. Was upset was missing my better half and was more upset after i know that i wont be seeing these lovely people for a long time!!

All excited as F1 and a good friend who i have not seen in ages visits me. Decided to cook and watch F1. Plan was do a bit of grocery shopping and back home, cook and watch F1.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As we were off to hypermarket we were stopped by a policeman at the metro station. Well i know i am different but never been stopped my a policeman. Anyways he asked my friend whether i speak english. At this point all i see is his gun. He took us to his room and i made sure i hade my lichana carta. Small office but spacious. He had the latest laptop a bloody Sony Viao – top of the market on his table. He could not update his windows. Bless his heart he wanted me to help him. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I sat there with my friend chatting and trying to fix it. He even refunded the metro ticket. This man was amazing!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But the sad part&amp;#160; was i could not do it as he some other faults and he was so polite and said it’s ok. I have always thought they were after crooks and criminals.

Had a chance to hear and enjoy it. This music is so different to any i have heard. Thanks to Martin i have got the moves and its amazing!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The one thing i could not understand was the amount of napkins on the floor. I have seen flowers and money been thrown at women, but napkins .. this was the first time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Why this was more interesting to me was the fact that most people categorize it as a different kind of people music. Called it the “Roma” music but every person in there knew the lyrics. So that made me happy as i always knew music as one and never been segregated to any culture, tribe or nationality!! its MUSIC &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-6938489206531749574?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/6938489206531749574/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/amazing-nite.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/6938489206531749574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/6938489206531749574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/09/amazing-nite.html' title='Amazing nite'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh4.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/SqATbRn6-0I/AAAAAAAAHKQ/pIo3-lalK9o/s72-c/chalga%5B33%5D.png?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-6402672889354064849</id><published>2009-08-30T11:27:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-08-30T12:05:00.774+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Facts'/><title type='text'>How cheap airlines are cheap ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Spo334ldlgI/AAAAAAAAHI0/-Pya1sl9ayE/s1600-h/pjun832l%5B10%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="pjun832l" border="0" alt="pjun832l" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/Spo34bvt_4I/AAAAAAAAHI4/Pn96pBqFMSk/pjun832l_thumb%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="379" height="270" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Always wondered how these low budget airlines make profit.

Went out with my mate Ivcho and had beer – not me as i am a anti-beer man. Had a lovely conversation and then headed to the only Mexican restaurant.

How much toxins have i been consuming… 50 Degrees Celsius and not toxins..yeah right…All that BPA – Bisphenol A not good at all. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Came to Bulgaria and started drinking water from the tap that has be filtered with a filter ( Brita ). Tastes better and no worries about plastic.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;All this recycling procedures and it’s not a easy matter recycling..so why drink from plastic bottles. By cutting the plastic we have better drinking water and less pollution. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Why waste the tap water when we can filter it and drink…no need to waste it on those bottled ones… &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;What's more, most bottled water is no more than tap water, which is purified and treated with minerals. And if you're concerned about the purity and safety of what we drink, you should know that our municipal water sources are much more closely monitored for contamination than any bottling plant. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:2f9ad03f-a537-4086-98a3-eb00dba975f1" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/water" rel="tag"&gt;water&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/BPA" rel="tag"&gt;BPA&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/plastic" rel="tag"&gt;plastic&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tags/mineral+water" rel="tag"&gt;mineral water&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-8387830415573219558?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/8387830415573219558/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/water-is-it-safe.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/8387830415573219558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/8387830415573219558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/water-is-it-safe.html' title='Water is it safe ?'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/So2myQcyjsI/AAAAAAAAHIM/GFuUNLmCJ7I/s72-c/DWbottledwaterdripping_thumb%5B24%5D.jpg?imgmax=800' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-4507955687694806391</id><published>2009-08-20T22:01:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-08-20T22:48:09.211+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life'/><title type='text'>20 Days to go…</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/So2di3NjLeI/AAAAAAAAHIA/WurawDVXBiU/s1600-h/The_Thinker%5B10%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="The_Thinker" border="0" alt="The_Thinker" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/So2djZ_01uI/AAAAAAAAHIE/xG0KQluSxfM/The_Thinker_thumb%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="303" height="238" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Wow just few days more and on my way to UK…It’s hard telling good bye and it’s my second move in two and half years.

But if the user had already designated another browser such as Firefox, Opera or Chrome as his default, the Express update overwrote it and made IE8 the go-to browser on the computer.   &lt;br /&gt;The Department of Justice pointed out that &amp;quot;unsophisticated users&amp;quot; were the most likely to choose the Express option when updating, and these users were the most likely to be confused by the process.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The new update install will have a screen pop up first that asks users, clearly, what they want the default browser to be.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Hope it stays!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:ce50a605-97f6-4d8c-85f7-5f43ddc321fa" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"&gt;del.icio.us Tags: &lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/popular/browser" rel="tag"&gt;browser&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/popular/IE" rel="tag"&gt;IE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-592107331073432736?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/592107331073432736/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/microsoft-stops-making-ie8-default.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/592107331073432736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/592107331073432736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/microsoft-stops-making-ie8-default.html' title='Microsoft Stops Making IE8 Default Browser - Again'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-2785189520046370398</id><published>2009-08-11T14:43:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2009-08-11T14:45:38.168+03:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='website'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='design'/><title type='text'>Wizzard - Web Design Company</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Check out our new website!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wizzard.bg/en"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wizzard&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Give me your opinion's please...&lt;br /&gt;Have fun and see ya soon&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9198522668532080057-2785189520046370398?l=gipigopinath.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/feeds/2785189520046370398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/wizzard-web-design-company.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/2785189520046370398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9198522668532080057/posts/default/2785189520046370398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gipigopinath.blogspot.com/2009/08/wizzard-web-design-company.html' title='Wizzard - Web Design Company'/><author><name>gipi gopinath</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13802535233212316643</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a5rzZz1cr5o/TFJ2aqmqTFI/AAAAAAAAHWI/-U1bxJJE8po/S220/2952514347_4ac170217c_b.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198522668532080057.post-4074027617501864972</id><published>2009-04-07T16:41:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T16:46:04.349+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Japanese Cuisine</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Always had Indian or Arabic cuisines, and sometimes the burger – fast food places like KFC etc….but before 5 years i was introduced to the most amazing cuisine &lt;strong&gt;JAPANESE&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I must tell you at first i was wondering what happened to all that spices and cooking. But the first bite into the Sushi ( craving for it as i write ) it was amazing. The fish was excellent and i never knew that the &lt;strong&gt;SEAWEED - NORI&lt;/strong&gt; would be so tasty.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAKI&lt;/strong&gt; – After having the Chinese Mai Tai i promised i wont have any rice drinks. But this SAKI is amazing when its warm.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MISO&lt;/strong&gt; was another story, imagine having a soup with soya(fermented) after all that sweet corn chicken soup…the soup was out of this world…..екстра&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TEMPURA&lt;/strong&gt; – When i saw it first i thought the Japanese people copied this recipe from us, but this ain’t anything like the “pokodas”. This is IT. Its crispy and nice….they have vegetable tempura and shrimp tempura. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TEPPANYAKI&lt;/strong&gt; – This is my favorite too. I guess the way the Chef cooks it….it amazes me with all the stunts while cooking. The taste is wonderful too.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PICKELED GINGER&lt;/strong&gt; is an awesome thing. I guess it was nothing big to me as we do eat ginger too. But when i had it as a pickle - the Japanese way with the food it was WOW!!!&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There are many more like Teriyaki, the soya bean salad, octopus and more….&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But one thing i have not learned to like is&lt;strong&gt; WASABI&lt;/strong&gt;. The first time i had it…i was warned, but hey Indians can take any spice. I had a huge bite and believe me i had this burning sensation all through my nose and hit my brain so bad i knew what paths it took.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you ever pass by Dubai and want to eat Japanese cuisine do go to the &lt;a title="Timeout Dubai" href="http://www.timeoutdubai.com/restaurants/reviews/7746-creekside" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Dubai Creekside Sheraton&lt;/a&gt;.
