Its been raining in Bangalore for the past few days. It starts to rain in the evening, when we pack up from office heading towards home. Anyhow it never deters me to ride in rain and enjoy the feel of it. From my childhood i used to enjoy rain. I used to stand in front of our bedroom window and used to watch rain water gushing trying to reach its destination. I never used to get bored with it. I always found reasons to drench myself in rain.
The feeling of walking in the rain is one of the most calming effects i can have. When you lookup towards the sky and see the rain drops hitting you with all its mightly bringing the calm effect makes me want to experience it every time.
On the first day of rain, I had missed it as i was early home. I made sure the next day i will fully get drenched. And thats what i did. Rain was so heavy, that I was riding my bike with a constant throttle so that the rain water doesn't enter my exhaust making my bike stop in the middle of the river road.
It was all fun in the rain.

Yesterday, I was looking for a way to send text messages via Internet. I found few sites,

1. http://www.txtdrop.net/- for international messaging,
2. http://gizmosms.com/

These above sites send text messages for free without charging the sender. I am not sure if the they charge for the receiver. I tried sending few text messages to myself and it worked. But for a friend, (who is enjoying his days in Sweden) it didn't work. I tried sending a few text messages and found that he was not able to receive any of it. Probably the telephone carrier doesn't support it. Its strange in that regard. Hope he gets to receive text messages from web so i can spam him.

It seems my Debian is broken. Its been long time since i had a chance to look at the issue closer. I broke it last month. I don't remember the reason why i reinstalled Debian, but thats where the trouble started. Mouse refused to show any movement, now it seems that i haven't been able to install the correct sound driver for my sound card. Its all gone very broke. I think i need to get the latest Debian release and work with that. I loved the way it had worked earlier.
