It was really good, the crowd was almost at 70,000 mostly Indians and very less anglo indians, it was a very cool show.

I want to run with the puppies, sing with the birds, and play with paper-boats in the rain.

2. it looks more spacier and roomy for web sites than other browsers where half of the screen is filled with toolboxes and other craps
